Poetry as postmodern by Zhang, Jieqiang

“…The paper will then make a case for how the poetic form is intimately concerned with silence, and thus, is inherently geared toward an exploration of the limits of language: how the poem’s visual shape can be seen as a metaphor for silence, how the poem is actually made of ruins—of the “ruined” poetic verse—and finally, how poetry’s near-condition of music is its desire to detach itself from the real world, into an imaginative textual reality.…”

Open water disposal of barged sediment by Er, Jenn Wei

“…Coastal activities, like land reclamation and dredging, usually involve open water sediment disposal, and they are being conducted intensively around the world. The near-source transport of disposed sediment is directly related to the method that the sediments are released, so it is essential to consider realistic physical conditions in order to improve engineering and environmental assessments. …”

Failure analysis and characterization for microelectronic packaging by Lin, Pamela

“…The simulation results also show that the presence of an interfacial void has a more adverse impact on the interfacial strength than having a void in the Si layer. Under the shear loading, the bilayer system deforms in three stages: elastic deformation, plastic flow in the a-Si3N4 layer and interfacial sliding. …”
