In this sense, through a detailed analysis of the stories collected in What We Talk about When We Talk about Love, the reader will have explicit understanding of the definition of minimalism in literature, the purposes of Carver's application of it and the efficacy brought to the work itself by adopting minimalism.展开更多

Carver＇s writing permeates idiographic techniques and evocative insights into reality. ＂Cathedral＂ is the title story of Carver＇s outstanding collection Cathedral. The story relates that the narrator through the visit of his wife＇s blind friend eliminates the prejudice and goes out of shell of closed-off ignorance. Carver employs precise and concise language to develop plot and reveal characters＇ mind and sets tensions leading to character＇s epiphany. Through the setting of tensions, the achievement of epiphany, and the precise and concise narrative language, Carver makes fullness out of a minimalist style of writing.展开更多

The new technique is characterized by a 3 dB built-in gain with better tolerance for chromatic dispersion in standard single mode fiber （SSMF）. Fiber Bragg grating （FBG） is used as chromatic dispersion compensating device to investigate the toler- ance of the proposed scheme. The simulation model of wavelength division multiplexing （WDM） based on OptiSystem.v.8.0 is presented. Simulation results show that there are error free transmission performance in a distance of 600 km with negligible power penalty and improved receiver sensitivity compared to conventional pulse carving approach.展开更多
