  • microzooplanktonic grazers a potentially devastating threat to the commercial success of microalgal Mass Culture
    Algal Research-Biomass Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2017
    Co-Authors: John G Day, Yingchun Gong
    Abstract:

    Abstract Eukaryotic microalgae and prokaryotic cyanobacteria are globally the most important primary producers, forming the base of food web in aquatic ecosystems. As such, they are eaten by a huge diversity of protistan taxa (e.g., amoeba, flagellates and ciliates), as well as zooplanktonic and larger metazoan grazers. As in terrestrial agriCulture, grazing has the potential to devastate the microalgal “crop” and this has obvious implications to the commercial success of the developing microalgal industry. Whilst in conventional agriCulture thousands of years of exploitation of a relatively small number of crop plants, has resulted in tools, knowledge and strategies that can manage this issue, in the case of microalgal Mass Culture this is relatively undeveloped. This review explores our current understanding of the issue and where further research is needed, focusing on the diversity of grazers and how microalgae under various environmental regimes and Culture conditions avoid being annihilated. In addition, the implications of algal Mass Culture, where the objective is to maintain a virtual monoCulture, are discussed in the context of how infection could be prevented/minimised and if infection occurs, how this may be managed to prevent excessive losses in productivity or quality of the algal crop. The ultimate objective would be the development of robust methodologies for the early detection of “infection” of microalgal Mass-Cultures. This would allow the timely implementation of best management practices to prevent/reduce, damage caused by grazing. In reality, whilst there will be areas of commonality, as in terrestrial agricultural crops, methods will be need to be specifically tailored for each algal taxon, cultivation system and location.

  • The Construction of Mass Culture in the Social Transition Period:the Reconstruction of Popular Culture and Art
    Journal of China Executive Leadership Academy Jinggangshan, 2011
    Co-Authors: Hu Shou-yong
    Abstract:

    In the period of social transition,the forms of Mass Culture and art have deeply changed and a situation of coexisting diversified forms of Mass Culture and art has been formed: there are traditional forms of "popular Culture and art",i.e.,traditional folk Culture and art,there are new forms,i.e.,the forms of Mass Culture and art conforming to the conditions of market economy,and there are also forms of the mainstream value,i.e.,the forms of leading Culture and art representing the development orientation of advanced Culture.The construction of Mass Culture at the present faces problems such as separation and unbalanced development of the three forms,disjointing of the work of Mass Culture from the Mass Culture,the decline of Mass cultural activities,and so forth.Therefore,the reconstruction of popular Culture and art should be performed through integration of spaces and contents of Culture,urban and rural Culture,and Culture of different ethnic groups according to the requirements of vigorous development and enrichment of Culture and the actual situation of the people's changing life style,so as to realize the transformation and prosperity of Mass Culture.

  • A Summary of Theoretical Researches of Chinese Mass Culture in the Past 60 Years
    Journal of Yangtze Normal University, 2010
    Co-Authors: Hu Shou-yong
    Abstract:

    Mass Culture is an important component of socialist Culture with Chinese characteristics.In the first 17 years from 1949 to the beginning of the "Cultural Revolution",the theoretical researches of Mass Culture were characterized by scarcity,spontaneity,deconcentration and intermittence.During the ten years of "Cultural Revolution",the researches were in the state of complete stagnation.Since December,1978,especially after the establishment of China Mass Culture Association in 1985,the theoretical researches of Mass Culture have been carried out and some achievements have been scored.Against the background of great cultural prosperity,the writer of this article makes a summary and review of the theoretical researches of Mass Culture in the past 60 years,and points out the drawbacks in this aspect as well as the future direction,with the aim of drawing attention of the academic world as well as of the workers engaged in Mass Culture,which the writer believes is of great significance.

  • Metropolitan Imagination's Culture Reason of Contemporary Chinese Mass Culture
    Journal of Guizhou Normal University, 2011
    Co-Authors: Li Zheng
    Abstract:

    As an important part of modern Culture which is based on the modern city,Mass Culture is a kind of Culture phenomenon taking place with modern city.But there's a huge gap between the developments of Mass Culture and modern city.Contemporary Chinese Mass Culture is more contrasted with western city progress.And being in the local circumstance,this visual angle certainly will bring some imaginative component.Because of the existence of value-identify and the transition of Culture-identity,the metropolitan Imagination of Mass Culture becomes reliable.

  • Metropolitan Imagination of Contemporary Chinese Mass Culture
    Journal of Guizhou Education Institute, 2009
    Co-Authors: Li Zheng
    Abstract:

    Mass Culture throughout the world appears with urbanization.It develops in pace with the development of metropolises.However,cities in China do not have any matured form of a metropolis at present.As a result,there exists a huge gap between Mass Culture and the development of cities.The contemporary Mass Culture of China is more contrasted with Western city progress.When put against the background of the native country,the visual angle will certainly carry with it something imaginative.Studying cities in imagination,finding a visual angle of Mass Culture for analysis,and digging out the essence of metropolitan imagination of contemporary Chinese Mass Culture,will be helpful for analyzing the psychological change in the Chinese against the background of imaginative narration.

    Journal of Nanjing Normal University, 2001
    Co-Authors: Chen Gang
    Abstract:

    The decline of the elite Culture and the rise of the Mass Culture is the most striking feature in Chinese Culture in 90's of the 20 th century.The tide of market economy is the most important background against which this happens.We could not change or avoid it,but we can describe and analyse it.We can point out the advantages and the disadvantages or the positive and the negative influence of it.Accordingly this paper points out the anxiety about this change in academic world,inquires into the conditions of the rise of the Mass Culture and summarizes its characteristic.
