U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Center for Global Health For more information about U.S. CDC activities in partnership with the Government of China and other partners, please contact: Jeffery W. McFarland, MD [email protected] U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Center for Global Health U.S. CDC: IMPROVING LIVES IN CHINA AND AT HOME FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS In our interconnected world, our health is linked with the health of individuals and communities throughout the world; we are only as safe from health threats as the most vulnerable individuals and communities. In recognition of this fact, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stationed scientists and health experts in countries across the globe, including China. CDC professionals complement the efforts of other U.S. government agencies and partners by collaborating with host nation health authorities to deliver life-saving science, groundbreaking medical research, cutting-edge innovation, and proven long-term health investments that translate into healthier communities, more productive economies, and more stable societies. The U.S. CDC in China works closely with our host country counterparts on key areas of mutual interest and benefit. Ensuring a healthier society in China while reducing global disease burden U.S. CDC in China continues to strengthen our traditional areas of collaboration in emerging and re-emerging infectious disease, vaccine-preventable diseases and HIV/ AIDS. Major advancements have been made in influenza surveillance, food-borne salmonella surveillance, measles control and the identification and treatment of HIV infected individuals as well as reducing mother-to-child transmission. -

Esoteric, Chan and Vinaya Ties in Tang Buddhism the Ordination Platform of the Huishan Monastery on Mount Song in the Religious Policy of Emperor Daizong
Esoteric, Chan and vinaya ties in Tang Buddhism The ordination platform of the Huishan monastery on Mount Song in the religious policy of Emperor Daizong Abstract This paper explores the reconstruction of the ordination platform in the Huishan monastery 會 善寺 on Mount Song in 767 in the context of the reinforcement of pro-Buddhist policies at the court of Emperor Daizong 代宗 (r. 762–779). The vinaya monks and state officials who engaged in this platform’s reconstruction are identified as associates of two prominent monastic figures: Amoghavajra (Bukong jin’gang 不空金剛; 704–774), an Esoteric leader at the imperial court; and Songshan Puji 嵩山普寂 (651–739), regarded as the seventh patriarch in the Northern Chan tradition. The key roles played by disciples of these two masters in the reconstruction of the Huishan platform attest to significant congruence in ritual practices between proponents of the Esoteric and Chan groups in Tang dynasty China, primarily in the areas of precept conferral and monastic ordination. Keywords Mount Song, Huishan monastery, Northern Chan, Esoteric Buddhism, vinaya, precept conferral Introduction During the Tang dynasty, the reign of Emperor Daizong 代宗 (r. 762–779) was second only to the reign of Empress Wu Zetian 武則天 (r. 690–705) in terms of imperial patronage of Buddhism. Daizong assumed the role of universal Buddhist monarch (cakravartin) and granted the Buddhist saṅgha and its foremost leader Amoghavajra (Ch. Bukong jin’gang 不空金剛; 704–774) an unprecedented amount of power.1 In 767, at the start of a new era that Daizong named Dali 大曆 (Grand Reign), many large-scale Buddhist projects were realized under the 1 Amoghavajra, an Esoteric master of allegedly Sogdian origin, became a paramount Buddhist leader at the imperial court during a period of highly militarized political turbulence in the territorial centre of the Tang Empire following the rebellion of General An Lushan 安祿山 (703–757) in 755. -

A TRIBUTE in LOVING MEMORY Irina Diana Tarabac
A TRIBUTE IN LOVING MEMORY Irina Diana Tarabac (1970-2007) Irina Diana Tarabac dedicated her life to learning, teaching, and science – the field of her choice being linguistics. Among many brilliant scholars and scientists in the Linguistics Department at Stony Brook University, Irina stood out for many a reasons. Unfortunately, Irina left us too early in October 2007. After arriving to study at Stony Brook at 2002, Irina became an active member of the linguistic community in the metropolitan area of New York. She frequently attended seminars in the Linguistics Departments of NYU and the CUNY Graduate Center. Irina was dedicated to life-long learning, and she set extremely high standards for herself, her own research and her teaching responsibilities. She taught a morphology seminar in Bucharest and served as a TA for classes on many different topics at Stony Brook, including syntax, morphology, language philosophy, phonology, typology, and Semitic languages. She was a wonderful teacher and was very concerned about her students. Her dedication to linguistics didn’t leave her much time to pursue her hobbies, but whenever Irina found some time off, she enjoyed listening to symphonic music, reading good literature, visiting museums, and spending time with her friends. Irina earned a Master’s degree in Bucharest, Romania in 1996 and had studied and conducted research in the Netherlands between 1997 and 1999. Irina conducted research on well-known languages such as Dutch, Romanian, and Modern Greek as well as less-known languages such as Rapanui and Burushaki. Irina’s passing is a great loss to her family, her friends and the field of linguistics. -

Ckel Molecular Orbital Theory
THEORETICA CHIMICA ACTA Theoret. Chim. Acta (Berl.) 66, 183-192 (1984) Springer-Verlag 1984 Evaluation of moments and their application in Hiickel molecular orbital theory Yuansheng Jiang*, Aoqing Tang* Institute of Theoretical Chemistry Jilin University, Changchun, China Roald Hoffmann* Department of Chemistry, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA Moments of acyclic carbon chains are treated in a systematic way. Explicit formulas in terms of connectivities are tabulated up to /~14. This facilitates the evaluation of moments by simply counting the numbers of various frag- ments involved. The total ~- electron energy is analyzed by means of moments and the meaning of additivity is interpreted. An approximate formula for E~ is parametrized by truncation, preserving only five bond parameters. Based on these, we attempt to better rationalize and reformulte the concept of aromaticity. Key words: Hiickel theory--Graph theory--moments--aromaticity I. Introduction The traditional way for dealing with MO (abbreviation of "molecular orbital") calculations is to solve a secular equation El] ]ES-HI=O. (1) This equation depends on the basis set {r selected, because the overlap and Hamiltonian matrices S and H are defined in terms of {r S = (S,;) S0 = (r162 (2) H=(H,j) Hq=(r * Formerly used names: Kiang, Yuan-sun; Tang, Au-chin 184 Y. Jiang et al. Usually, energy levels are obtained first, and wave functions and other observable calculations follow. If S is approximated by the unit matrix S = I, S o = 8 0 (3) then Eq.
