Based on the analysis of the narrator's pangs, this paper argues that it is mainly the uncertainty of cultural identity that leads to the pangs of the narrator, and of the second generation Chinese Americans. This paper shows that the second generation can take advantage of their dual but conflicting cultural heritages to develop a renewed and specific cultural identity.展开更多

Through examining the source of the pangs, this paper argues that characters'pangs mainly stem from confrontations between their different cultural identities. Focusing on the way of dealing with conflicts of cultural identities in contemporary Chinese American families, this paper illuminates that Chinese Americans need to cross cultural borders and negotiate cultural identity between Chinese and American cultures under the circumstance of globalization.展开更多

And this paper tries to seek a solution: to have a compromised way which can blend the two cultures and have open mind towards the alien culture.展开更多

Age, growth and reproduction of Rhodeus ocellatus from the lake were studied during April to June 1999. Annuli on scales were clear and could be used as valid indicators of age. The population of the bitterling comprised only one age group, and the maximum of life span for both sexes may be less than 2 years. The sex ratio of males to females was 1.59:1 (n= 332) with significant difference from 1:1 (X 2 test, X c 2 =16 94,p< 0.01). The relationship between total length ( TL , mm) and body weight ( W , g) for sexes was expressed by the equation ln W =-11.945 + 3.163 ln TL (n= 238, r= 0.98, p< 0.0001). Slope of the equation was significantly greater than 3 (p < 0.01). This may suggest an allometric growth. The bitterling were multiple spawners reaching maturity in the second year. During spawning, both sexes exhibited secondary sexual characters. Minimum size was 26 mm in total length and 0.216 g in weight for males, and 32 mm and 0.393 g for females. Mature eggs were cucurbit like form with mean size of 3.31 mm long (n= 23, SD= 0.14). Fecundity per female averaged 61 eggs (n= 46, SD= 18) with a range of from 28 to 119. In addition to that, There wassignificantly correlation of fecundity ( F , eggs) to total length ( TL , mm) or body weight ( W , g) (p< 0.0001), and the relationships were expressed by the equations F = 26.1 + 83.2 W (n= 52, r= 0.73) F = 4.78 10 -3 TL 2.537 (n= 52, r= 0.78).展开更多

This paper discusses the development of C＋＋ classes, which may be used for development of software for location aware management and control, specifically in merchant shipping, so as to provide improved safety, increased automation, prevention of pollution and reducing the work burden of the crew. The GPS is used in conjunction with the regionally accessible nested global shorelines （RANGS） dataset for this purpose. The design of two main C＋＋ classes named CShorelines and CGPSInput have been discussed. A control system mandatory on all oil-tankers above 150 GRT （and few other vessels） called ODMCS has been made location aware using the novel software developed and the results obtained have been critically examined and presented.展开更多
