  • Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907)
    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks.

ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: In this final rule, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to implement the rescission of Sudan’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism (SSOT). The Secretary of State rescinded this designation effective December 14, 2020 in accordance with established statutory procedures, including the President’s October 26, 2020 submission to Congress of a report justifying the rescission and certifying Sudan had not provided any support for acts of international terrorism during the preceding six month period and that Sudan had provided assurances that it would not support acts of international terrorism in the future. Accordingly, BIS amends the EAR by removing Anti-Terrorism (AT) controls on the country and by removing Sudan from Country Group E:1 (Terrorist supporting countries). These actions render the country eligible for a general 25 percent de minimis level. As a consequence of these actions, as well as the addition of the country to Country Group B, Sudan is also potentially eligible for several new license exceptions under the EAR.

    NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT US By Bridget Canning. A Creative Writing Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in English (Creative Writing) Department of English, Memorial University of Newfoundland Abstract: No One Knows about Us is a collection of twelve contemporary short stories. As the title suggests, the characters in each story deal with secrets: relationships, longings, grudges, addictions, and trickery. For them, these secrets are simultaneously overwhelming and futile; their importance within their small worlds reflect a deeper feeling of insignificance in the greater scheme of life in a small city in a northern province hemmed on to the side of a continent. Here are a range of characters and situations set in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. The stories are mapped out in different areas of the city and move chronologically over a year, starting in fall and ending in late summer. They work together to create a small sample of life in modern-day St. John’s – one that is informed by the influences of history, economy, and weather. i Acknowledgements: This thesis would not have been accomplished without the help of the English department faculty at Memorial such as Robert Finley, Robert Chafe, and especially my thesis advisor, Lisa Moore.

  • Results of Long-Term Carcinogenicity Bioassay on Vinyl Acetate Monomer in Sprague-Dawley Rats
    Results of Long-Term Carcinogenicity Bioassay on Vinyl Acetate Monomer in Sprague-Dawley Rats FRANCO MINARDI, FIORELLA BELPOGGI, MORANDO SOFFRITTI, ADRIANO CILIBERTI, MICHELINA LAURIOLA, ELISA CATTIN, AND CESARE MALTONI† Cancer Research Center, European Ramazzini Foundation for Oncology and Environmental Sciences, Bologna, Italy ABSTRACT: Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) was administered in drinking water supplied ad libitum at doses of 5,000, 1,000, and 0 ppm (v/v) to 17-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats (breeders) and to 12-day embryos (offspring). Treatment lasted for 104 weeks; thereafter, animals were kept under control conditions until spontaneous death. VAM was found to cause an increase in total malig- nant tumors and in carcinomas and/or precursor lesions of the oral cavity, lips, tongue, esophagus, and forestomach. Based on these data, VAM must be con- sidered a multipotent carcinogen. KEYWORDS: vinyl acetate monomer; carcinogenicity; long-term bioassay; rat INTRODUCTION Vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) is an important compound in the plastics industry. VAM (C 4H6O2) has a molecular weight of 86.09. Industrial production of VAM started in the United States in 1928.1 VAM is produced mainly by two processes: (1) In a process used since the 1920s, acetylene and acetic acid are reacted in the vapor phase over a catalyst bed,2 (2) In another process, largely used since the 1970s, eth- ylene is reacted with acetic acid in the presence of oxygen.3 The world production of VAM is over 2.5 million tons per year.4 The only commercial use of VAM is in the production of polymers (polyvinyl ac- etate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetals) and copolymers (ethylene-vinyl acetate and polyvinyl-acetate chloride).3 Polyvinyl acetate is mainly used in adhesives for paper, wood, glass, metals, and porcelain.

  • Ammonia a Very Important Molecule for Biological Organisms to Make Proteins Or Nucleic Acids
    Ammonia A very important molecule for biological organisms to make proteins or nucleic acids by QH, and Niloy Kumar Das Shahjalal Science & Technology University, Bangladesh Molecule of the Month - June 2013 Introduction Ammonia or azane is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. It is a colorless gas with a characteristic pungent smell, which is very common in toilets sometime. It is used in industry and commerce, and also exists naturally in humans and in the environment. Ammonia is essential for many biological processes and serves as a precursor for amino acid and nucleotide synthesis. In the environment, ammonia is part of the nitrogen cycle and is produced in soil from bacterial processes. Ammonia is also produced naturally from decomposition of organic matter, including plants and animals. Sal Ammoniacus Sal ammoniac is a mineral composed of ammonium chloride. The Romans called the ammonium chloride deposits they collected from near the Temple of Jupiter Amun in ancient Libya 'sal ammoniacus' (salt of Amun) because of proximity to the nearby temple. It is the earliest known mineral source of ammonia. Fig: Sal ammoniac is a mineral Guano & saltpeter Later alternative sources of ammonia mineral were discovered. Guano and saltpeter played valuable roleas strategic commodity. Guano consists of ammonium oxalate and urate, phosphates, as well as some earth salts and impurities. Guano also has a high concentration of nitrates. Saltpeter is the mineral form of potassium nitrate (KNO3). Potassium and other nitrates are of great importance for use in fertilizers, and, historically, gunpowder. Fig: Guano is simply deposits of bird droppings Independence from mineral dependency Even though our atmosphere consists 78% nitrogen, atmospheric nitrogen is nutritionally unavailable to plants or animals because nitrogen molecules are held together by strong triple bonds.
