Yan Pei-Ming
The first monograph on important Franco-Chinese contemporary artist Yan Pei-Ming, whose work blends Eastern and Western cultural influences. Yan Pei-Ming is one of the most important figures in contemporary art. His large-scale, monochrome paintings portraits of politically charged figures such as Mao, Pope John Paul II, Barack Obama, and Vladimir Putin, as well as cultural icons Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Bruce Lee, and Picasso are the result of a powerful combination of conceptual rigor and the passionate, dynamic gestures with which he \"attacks\" the canvas. Having grown up in Shanghai during the Chinese Cultural Revolution and resettled in Dijon, France, Ming s work stands for an entire generation that has experienced and survived the dramatic changes that global geopolitics have undergone since the end of the Cold War. Ming s art is in the collections of a number of prestigious institutions including the Centre Georges Pompidou, Honolulu Museum of Art, Museum Ludwig in Cologne, National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, National Gallery of Australia, and the Shanghai Art Museum. This significant volume is the first comprehensive book on Ming s practice and is prepared by the internationally renowned curator Francesco Bonami.\"

الفيلسوف يانزي
هذا الكتاب من \"سلسلة الحكماء يتكلمون\" يتحدث عن الفيلسوف \"يانزي\" : كان يانزي يعرف باسم يان زنغ، وبلقب الشرف بينغ زونغ، وقد كان أحد مواطني يوي في ولاية كي خلال حقبة الربيع والخريف، وقد خلف والده كرئيس وزراء لولاية كي وخدم كي لينغ غونغ، زوانغونغ، وجينغونغ، على التوالي. لقد تمت الإشارة إليه على أنه الشخص الذي خدم \"ثلاثة ملوك بثلاثة عقول\"، وينسب إليه القول التالي : \"كل من الملوك الثلاثة سعى لاستقرار البلاد، لذلك فقد أطعتهم عن طيب خاطر\". وبالنظر إلى المبادئ التي كان يتحلى بها من اقتصاد ويقظة فقد احتل مكانة عالية بين البلاد الأخرى. وبصفته رئيسا للوزراء، لم يضع يانزي أكثر من صحن لحم واحد على المائدة ولم ترتد عائلته الملابس الحريرية قط. وقد قام بإعادة جميع الهبات التي تم منحه إياها من الملك وكان يسعى إلى \"اجترار الحكمة من الفاقة\". كما اعتقد بشدة أيضا أن \"الصدق والاستقامة هما أساس حكم الأمة\"، لذلك، فقد أصبح نموذجا يحتذى به لغيره من رؤساء الوزراء في الحقب التي تلت.

Body, Ritual and Identity
In Body, Ritual and Identity: A New Interpretation of Yan Yuan, Yang Jui-sung has demonstrated that the complexity of Yan's ideas and his hatred for Zhu Xi in particular need be interpreted in light of his traumatic life experiences, his frustration over the fall of the Ming dynasty, and anxiety caused by the civil service examination system.

Mother river
\"Mother River is a four-year project (2010-2014) for which the British-Chinese photographer Yan Wang Preston (*1976) photographed the entire 6,211-kilometre Yangtze River at precise 100-kilometre intervals with a large-format film camera ... The equally spaced photographic locations produce no picturesque views or sublime concrete structures, but rather a set of accidental and vernacular landscapes that have never, or rarely, been photographed before.\"--Wrapping.

Is \Seven Sisters\ Mistranslation of phrase omitted phrase omitted\?–A Defense of Howard Goldblatt's \Seven Sisters
The author of the thesis has focused on the mistranslations pointed out in a thesis, entitled with A Study of Howard Goldblatt's \"Mistranslation\", specifically on \"seven sisters\". The paper has discussed and defended it from four dimensions. First, semantically speaking, it is spiritual similarity instead of formal one to the original, for it has conveyed the connotative and associative meanings hidden in the original. Second, based on cognitive translation studies, it has embodied the cognitive experience as what the original has done. Third, from cognitive psychology, it is the best representation which language central nerve stimulates the translator to select and match with the original in information processing and communication. Finally, functionally speaking, it is more equivalent to the original than other translations. Therefore, the author holds that \"seven sisters\" translated by Howard Goldblatt is no mistranslation of \"[phrase omitted]\". Index Terms--mistranslation, spiritual similarity, cognitive translation, cognitive equivalence, literary translation

Body, ritual and identity : a new interpretation of the early Qing Confucian Yan Yuan (1635-1704)
\"Yan Yuan (1635-1704) has long been a controversial figure in the study of Chinese intellectual and cultural history. Although marginalized in his own time largely due to his radical attack on Zhu Xi (1130-1200), Yan became elevated as a great thinker during the early twentieth century because of the drastic changes of modern Chinese intellectual climate. In Body, Ritual and Identity : A New Interpretation of the Early Qing Confucian Yan Yuan (1635-1704), Yang Jui-sung has demonstrated that the complexity of Yan's ideas and his hatred for Zhu Xi in particular need be interpreted in light of his traumatic life experiences, his frustration over the fall of the Ming dynasty, and anxiety caused by the civil service examination system. Moreover, he should be better understood as a cultural critic of the lifestyle of educated elites of late imperial China. By critically analyzing Yan's changing intellectual status and his criticism that the elite lifestyle was unhealthy and feminine, this new interpretation of Yan Yuan serves to shed new light on our understanding of the features as well as problems of educated elite culture in late imperial China\"--Provided by publisher.-- Source other than Library of Congress.

Lepton-pair production at hadron colliders at N3LO in QCD
A
bstract
We compute for the first time the complete corrections at N
3
LO in the strong coupling constant to the inclusive neutral-current Drell-Yan process including contributions from both photon and
Z
-boson exchange. Our main result is the computation of the QCD corrections to the inclusive production cross section of an axial-vector boson to third order in the strong coupling in a variant of QCD with five massless quark flavours. Since the axial anomaly does not cancel for an odd number of flavours, we also consistently include non-decoupling effects in the top-quark mass through three loops. We perform a phenomenological study of our results, and we present for the first time predictions for the inclusive Drell-Yan process at the LHC at this order in QCD perturbation theory.
