Held from 24 to 26 February 2010 at the idyllic and beautiful premises of the Nanyang Executive Centre, NTU, the conference was graced by four Nobel Laureates and several renowned scientists across the globe who celebrated Professor Murray Gell-Mann's 80th birthday and his contributions to fundamental sciences. Jointly organized by the Chair, Professor Harald Fritzsch and Co-Chair, Pro- fessor Phua Kok Khoo, the conference attracted 249 participants from 33 countries, including the United States, Australia, Britain, China, France, Germany India, Israel, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The four Nobel Laureates present at the conference were: Professor Yang Chen Ning (Physics, 1957), Professor Kenneth Geddes Wilson (Physics, 1982) Professor Gerard 't Hooft (Physics, 1999) and Pro- fessor Murray Gell-Mann (Physics, 1969). Professor Harald Fritzsch and Professor George Zweig both shared a light-hearted account of their encounters with Professor Gell-Mann, with their lectures titled \Murray Gell-Mann | A Scientific Biography" and \Memories of Murray and the Quark Model" respectively. Another highlight of the conference took place on the second day when all the participants were treated to a sumptuous banquet dinner at the Regent Hotel. The Guest of Honour, Mr Lim Chuan Poh (Chairman, Agency for Science, Technology and Research), paid tribute to Prof Gell-Mann for his efforts in deepening our understanding of the laws of Nature. Prof Kenneth Young (CUHK, Hong Kong), who was also Prof Gell-Mann's student, spoke affectionately about his former PhD mentor. In celebration of Professor Gell-Mann's birthday, students from Hwa Chong Institution put up a fi ne display of Wushu performance, an elegant fan dance and a captivating fusion of Eastern-Western music. The exotic music ensemble by the Institution's Chinese Orchestra, highly commended by Professor Chang Ngee Pong (City University of New York), culminated in a \Happy Birthday" song. Everyone sang, clapped and cheered for Professor Gell-Mann who was visibly moved; he told us that he was very touched by the gesture of the audience at the Banquet. The last day of the conference ended with parallel sessions on Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics and Complexity. In addition, more than 80 teachers attended a Physics Education workshop which was held in conjunction with the conference. October 1, 2010 8:53 WSPC - Proceedings Trim Size: 9.75in x 6.5in 00b-Preface vi Preface Most of the teachers who attended the workshop thoroughly enjoyed the captivating talks and hands-on activities at the workshop. The parallel sessions on Quantum Mechanics and Complexity began with two invited talks by Professor Kerson Huang from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Dr Gunnar Pruessner from the Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London. Professor Huang presented the idea of Conditioned Self-Avoiding Walk (CSAW) as a model of protein folding. Dr Pruessner gave an overview on the current development of Self-Organized Criticality (SOC). The special talks were followed by talks from researchers from Australia, Japan, the Netherlands, Indo- nesia, France, Russia, Brunei, Turkey and Singapore. The topics presented were wide-ranging, spanning from quantum entanglement to the complexity theory of business, social and biophysical systems.

  • Eastern Medicine Renaissance in the Context of Japanese Rule, 1910-1945
    KOREANS BUILDING A NEW WORLD: EASTERN MEDICINE RENAISSANCE IN THE CONTEXT OF JAPANESE RULE, 1910-1945 by James Flowers A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland August 2019 © 2019 James Flowers All Rights Reserved Abstract In the early twentieth century, Western biomedicine physicians achieved elite status on a global scale as bearers of scientific progress. As part of this process of change in medicine, in many countries traditional medicine healers became marginalized and even obsolete. This dissertation examines the unusual case of the traditional medicine healers in Korea organizing themselves in unprecedented ways within the context of Japanese colonial rule from 1910 to 1945. By following the central theme of Korean agency in “building a new world” via what they then termed Eastern Medicine and Hanbang healing, this study evaluates how elite registered physicians, mainly based in modern-day Seoul (Part one and two), and non-registered physicians, mainly working in rural localities (Part three), actively responded to broader modernizing efforts in the context of Japanese rule by doubling down on the value of their own traditional medical doctrines and practices. The Japanese Government-General introduced a decree on Physician Registration in 1913, hoping to marginalize the “old” Eastern-medicine physicians. Instead of surrendering, the Eastern-medicine physicians organized themselves by forming associations, publishing journals and books, and holding symposia. They made the case for Eastern medicine’s continuing relevance and necessity by articulating the need to strengthen Korean bodies and minds with traditional healing therapies.

This book, however, seriously and honestly presents the humanity and background of the success of Wu Chien-Shiung. It opens a new era of such biographies. Chen Ning Yang, Nobel laureate This book presents an unbiased account of Wu’s life as well as lasting achievements in physics. Her deep views and observations, creativity and determination made her a most successful scientist and a distinguished human being. The author has done serious research, and has written accurately and eloquently. It is an accurate, in-depth masterpiece of study about the life and unusual achievements of one of the world’s greatest physicist. Samuel C. C. Ting, Nobel laureate The life of Professor Wu is indeed an enviable, rich history of a distinguished scientist, full of admirable achievements and struggles. Her scientific career had many exciting incidents worth studying by young scientists. I am very arrating the well-lived life of the “Chinese Madame Curie” — a recipient of the first Wolf Prize in Physics (1978), the first woman happy to see this masterpiece of Chiang Tsai-Chien.

  • In Remembrance
    In Remembrance Kerson Huang, professor emeritus of physics, dies at 88 Theoretical physicist was also known for his translations of Chinese texts. by Scott Morley, Laboratory for Nuclear Science MIT Professor Emeritus Kerson Huang, who was well known for his contributions to the field of statistical physics, passed away on September 1, 2016, at the age of 88. Born March 15, 1928, in Nanning, Kwangsi, China, Huang spent his youth primarily in Manila, The Philippines. He received his BS in physics in 1950 and his PhD in 1953, both from MIT. He was one of the most prominent advisees of Austrian-American theoretical physicist Victor Weisskopf. Huang served as an instructor at MIT from 1953 to 1955 before spending two years as a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study. He returned to MIT in 1957 as an assistant professor in physics and was promoted to associate professor in 1961 and to professor in 1966. He was part of the first faculty of the Center for Theoretical Physics (CTP) when it was inaugurated in 1968, and was also a researcher in the Laboratory for Nuclear Science. Together with C. N. Yang, T. D. Lee and others, Huang contributed to the development of the consistent many-body description of interactions of identical particles such as helium atoms. With Steven Weinberg, Huang showed that the spectrum of strongly interacting particles is so rich that it implies that there is an ultimate temperature above which the description in terms of hadrons breaks down. Together with T. D. Lee and C. N. Yang, and separately with Francis Low, Huang wrote important papers on the nature of the weak interaction, especially the way in which then newly-discovered parity violation could be observed experimentally.
