  • China's False Allegations of the Use of Biological Weapons by the United
    W O R K I N G P A P E R # 7 8 China’s False Allegations of the Use of Biological Weapons by the United States during the Korean War By Milton Leitenberg, March 2016 THE COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES Christian F. Ostermann, Series Editor This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources on “the other side” of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. The project supports the full and prompt release of historical materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War, and seeks to accelerate the process of integrating new sources, materials and perspectives from the former “Communist bloc” with the historiography of the Cold War which has been written over the past few decades largely by Western scholars reliant on Western archival sources. It also seeks to transcend barriers of language, geography, and regional specialization to create new links among scholars interested in Cold War history. Among the activities undertaken by the project to promote this aim are a periodic BULLETIN to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for young historians from the former Communist bloc to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars; and publications.

  • Ursprung, Entwicklung Und Evolution Des Tongbeiquan
    1 Ursprung, Entwicklung und Evolution des Tongbeiquan Wei Haihong Anmerkung der Redaktion: Die Geschichte des Wushu ist verwickelt und komplex, so dass sie sehr verwirrend wirkt. Über die zahlreichen Streitpunkte darin ein endgültiges Urteil zu fällen, was nun stimmt und was nicht, wird wohl kaum jedermann überzeugen. Denn in Wirklichkeit haben wir in Bezug auf eine Vielzahl von Fragen in der Kampfkunstgeschichte noch keine Klarheit erreicht. Unter diesen Umständen müssen wir zunächst einmal ‚die Leute frei reden lassen—, selbst wenn das Gesagte stark von unserer üblichen Meinung abweicht. Die Thesen des folgenden Artikels stehen wahrscheinlich in extremen Widerspruch zu unseren gewöhnlichen Ansichten. Die Einstellung unseres Magazins hierzu lautet: ‚Es zunächst so stehen lassen, wie es ist, um es später in aller Ruhe zu untersuchen.— Sie sollten zunächst keine Eile haben, bezüglich des unten stehenden Artikels ein Urteil zu fällen, egal ob es sich um Zustimmung oder Ablehnung handelt. Beweise zu sammeln, indem man objektiv die Fakten untersucht, ist das Wichtigste, wenn man erstmals hiermit konfrontiert wird. Natürlich ist es auch nicht so, dass nachdem er diese Diskussion angestoßen hat, es damit für [den Verfasser des Artikels] Herrn Wei getan wäre. Er muss auch noch Verantwortung dafür übernehmen, die Grundlagen seiner Thesen vorzulegen. Z.B. heißt es im nachfolgenden Artikel, dass beim von ihm vorgestellten Tongbei es so sei, dass Herr Zhang Mingxiao gegen Ende der Nördlichen Song-Dynastie [960-1127] ‚auf Basis [der Kampftechniken] der 108 Helden vom [Berg] Liangshan das Erlesenste zu einer Kampfmethode verknüpfte—. Aber laut den bisher bekannten Geschichtsquellen, gab es zu jener Zeit anscheinend noch gar nicht den Ausdruck ‚108 Befehlshaber—.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • Informational World Cities an Empirical Investigation of Cities in the 21St Century
    Informational world cities An empirical investigation of cities in the 21st century Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophie (Dr. phil.) durch die Philosophische Fakultät der Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf vorgelegt von Agnes Mainka Betreuer: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang G. Stock Prof. Dr. Isabella Peters Düsseldorf Januar 2017 Abstract The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate world cities that are in a network. The network is constituted by the flows of capital, power, and information. The key innovation is ICT and the acknowledgment of human capital as an important economic resource. The research approach combines urban studies, sociology, and information science. Thus, diverse hypotheses have emerged in recent years that are going to describe the knowledge, creative, digital, or smart city. In the work at hand, I will combine the approaches of diverse city types and different research fields into one investigation. According to twelve hypotheses, characteristics and best practice examples of informational world city’s development will be identified. The focus is to emphasize on real world examples. The dominating research method is grounded theory which allows to mix different approaches to gather data, e.g. interviews, field research, and statistics. In total, 31 cities are investigated regarding their digital and cognitive infrastructure, political willingness and cityness. The interviews and field studies have been conducted between June 2010 and May 2014. Literature and secondary data has been updated continuously. The focus of this empirical investigation of 31 informational world cities is to verify actual research approaches based on expert interviews. Do experts with different backgrounds and from different origins agree with general assumptions that explain the success and forecast further growth of cities in the 21st century? In general, cities in a globalized world become more similar.

  • Animating Race the Production and Ascription of Asian-Ness in the Animation of Avatar: the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra
    Animating Race The Production and Ascription of Asian-ness in the Animation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra Francis M. Agnoli Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies April 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract How and by what means is race ascribed to an animated body? My thesis addresses this question by reconstructing the production narratives around the Nickelodeon television series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-08) and its sequel The Legend of Korra (2012-14). Through original and preexisting interviews, I determine how the ascription of race occurs at every stage of production. To do so, I triangulate theories related to race as a social construct, using a definition composed by sociologists Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer; re-presentations of the body in animation, drawing upon art historian Nicholas Mirzoeff’s concept of the bodyscape; and the cinematic voice as described by film scholars Rick Altman, Mary Ann Doane, Michel Chion, and Gianluca Sergi. Even production processes not directly related to character design, animation, or performance contribute to the ascription of race. Therefore, this thesis also references writings on culture, such as those on cultural appropriation, cultural flow/traffic, and transculturation; fantasy, an impulse to break away from mimesis; and realist animation conventions, which relates to Paul Wells’ concept of hyper-realism.
