Zhang Wenzhi obtained her master’s degree at Guangzhou Fine Arts Academy in 1993 and her book. Arts of Modern Materials. Was published in June of that year. The next year. she joined the European Synthetic Arts Soci-ety. In 1996. she held ceramics exhibition in the gallery of Illinois State University. Her work, "The World of Wine."

November 15, 1999 was an important day for China, because on that day China and the United States finally reached a bilateral agreement in Beijing concerning China's entry into the WTO after hard and tortuous negotiations.

Forest floor samples were taken in January, April, July and October in 2002 and divided into undecomposed material （horizon Oi）, partially decomposed organic material （horizon Oe）, and fully decomposed organic material （horizon Oa）. Upon collection. DOC concentrations of samples were analyzed by a High Temperature TOC. The results showed that the annual average DOC concentration of Chinese fir （1341.7 mg·kg^-1） in the forest floor was higher than that of Castanopsis kawakamii （ 1178.9 mg·kg^-1）. Difference in DOC concentrations was observed among three horizons of the forest floor. DOC concentration of forest floor in the two forests was the highest in horizon Oe. Seasonal trends of DOC concentrations in different horizons of forest floors were similar and the maximal value occurred in autumn （or winter）. The concentration and temporal change of DOC in studied forests were probably related to the variation in moisture, temperature, biological activity and quantity of organic matter in the forest floor.展开更多

The author will outline the reasons for skepticism, because we can only see what there is to celebrate in 2015, if we understand that the Charter of 1215 was the failed result of a reactionary armed tax rebellion by wealthy and powerful landowners, who were not trying to make a new constitution. What is there to celebrate？ The author will address that question by asking why the Charter of 1215 was neither void （as the Pope asserted） for repugnancy to the King＇s authority, nor voidable for duress. The author challenges the idea that the Charter of 1215 is the foundation of the rule of law in England, arguing that the rule of law goes back farther, and that the Charter of 1215 was very limited in its impact. But it did promote the rule of law in two ways： by giving new specificity to legal duties and restrictions that the king had already been subject to, and by highlighting the country＇s need for effective processes for giving effect to those duties and restrictions.展开更多
