TL;DR: Critical contrastive rhetoric as discussed by the authors is a conceptual framework for contrastive contrastive language writing that reconceptualizes cultural difference in rhetoric from such perspectives as relations of power, discursive construction of knowledge, colonial construction of cultural dichotomies, and rhetorical plurality brought about by diaspora and cultural hybridity.

TL;DR: In this article, the predictions for charged hadron, identified light hadron (ELH), quarkonium, photon, jet, and gauge bosons in p+Pb collisions at pN = 5/π = 5 ϵ, ϵ TeV$ are compared.
Abstract: Predictions for charged hadron, identified light hadron, quarkonium, photon, jet and gauge bosons in p+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\it NN}}} = 5\, {\rm TeV}$ are compiled and compared. When test run data are available, they are compared to the model predictions.

TL;DR: The authors presents an overview of the Chinese language and character system and attempts to dispel many of the myths and erroneous beliefs about the language which are commonly held among peoples with no first-hand knowledge of Chinese.
Abstract: This chapter presents an overview of the Chinese language and character system and attempts to dispel many of the myths and erroneous beliefs about the language which are commonly held among peoples with no first-hand knowledge of Chinese. Concepts such as distinguishing the various Chinese languages and dialects, how tones differentiate words, and common grammatical features (which may be puzzling to students from European language L1-backgrounds) are discussed before focusing attention on the character system. The major classifications of characters by type are discussed (e.g., pictorial, indicatives, ideographs, and semantic-phonetic compounds) along with the organizational principles which enabled their invention and how characters and their pronunciations have changed during the thousands of years of their continuous use.
