2016 Physicsbowl Results
2016 PhysicsBowl Results Dear Physics Teachers, Thank you for having your students participate in this year’s AAPT PHYSICSBOWL contest. This year there were more than 6400 students participating from almost 250 schools from the United States, Canada, Kuwait, Mexico, South Africa, the Republic of Korea, and the United Kingdom, as well as almost 300 schools participating from China! With the addition of the large number of Chinese schools, the contest is almost in two parts with Regions 01 – 14 competing for prizes from AAPT while ASDAN China is coordinating the contest in China. As a result, for simplicity of trying to read the long lists, there are three files: the list of winners in Regions 01 – 14, the list of winners in Regions 15 – 19, and a list of the top students/teams from all regions in both divisions! Instructors from regions 01 – 14 can obtain the scores of their students from the AAPT website and that link will be provided to you in an email from the national office. Please realize that we were able to retrieve some scores that were disqualified for improperly recording the required information, but this was done after-the-fact. If the information was not encoded correctly, the student was immediately disqualified from winning prizes even though we may be able to link that student to your code now. Some students provided no codes, the wrong regions, no name, just a last name, etc. There are a lot of records and we cannot go back and fill in missing information. While it is unfortunate to disqualify anyone, these are the rules of the contest. -
Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018
Dwelling in Shenzhen: Development of Living Environment from 1979 to 2018 Xiaoqing Kong Master of Architecture Design A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2020 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract Shenzhen, one of the fastest growing cities in the world, is the benchmark of China’s new generation of cities. As the pioneer of the economic reform, Shenzhen has developed from a small border town to an international metropolis. Shenzhen government solved the housing demand of the huge population, thereby transforming Shenzhen from an immigrant city to a settled city. By studying Shenzhen’s housing development in the past 40 years, this thesis argues that housing development is a process of competition and cooperation among three groups, namely, the government, the developer, and the buyers, constantly competing for their respective interests and goals. This competing and cooperating process is dynamic and needs constant adjustment and balancing of the interests of the three groups. Moreover, this thesis examines the means and results of the three groups in the tripartite competition and cooperation, and delineates that the government is the dominant player responsible for preserving the competitive balance of this tripartite game, a role vital for housing development and urban growth in China. In the new round of competition between cities for talent and capital, only when the government correctly and effectively uses its power to make the three groups interacting benignly and achieving a certain degree of benefit respectively can the dynamic balance be maintained, thereby furthering development of Chinese cities. -
A Data-Driven Urban Metro Management Approach for Crowd Density Control

Large crowding events in big cities pose great challenges to local governments since crowd disasters may occur when crowd density exceeds the safety threshold. We develop an optimization model to generate the emergent train stop-skipping schemes during large crowding events, which can postpone the arrival of crowds. A two-layer transportation network, which includes a pedestrian network and the urban metro network, is proposed to better simulate the crowd gathering process. Urban smartcard data is used to obtain actual passenger travel demand. +e objective function of the developed model minimizes the passengers’ total waiting time cost and travel time cost under the pedestrian density constraint and the crowd density constraint. -
An Adapted Geographically Weighted Lasso (Ada-GWL) Model For
An Adapted Geographically Weighted Lasso (Ada-GWL) model for estimating metro ridership Yuxin He∗1, Yang Zhaoy2 and Kwok Leung Tsuiz1,2 1School of Data Science, City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon, Hong Kong 2Centre for Systems Informatics Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon, Hong Kong April 3, 2019 Abstract Ridership estimation at station level plays a critical role in metro transportation planning. Among various existing ridership estimation methods, direct demand model has been recognized as an effective approach. However, existing direct demand models including Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) have rarely included local model selection in ridership estimation. In practice, acquiring insights into metro ridership under multiple influencing factors from a local perspective is important for passenger volume management and transportation planning operations adapting to local conditions. In this study, we propose an Adapted Geographi- cally Weighted Lasso (Ada-GWL) framework for modelling metro ridership, which performs regression-coefficient shrinkage and local model selection. It takes metro network connection intermedia into account and adopts network-based distance metric instead of Euclidean-based distance metric, making it so-called adapted to the context of metro networks. The real-world arXiv:1904.01378v1 [stat.AP] 2 Apr 2019 case of Shenzhen Metro is used to validate the superiority of our proposed model. The results show that the Ada-GWL model performs the best compared with the global model (Ordinary Least Square (OLS), GWR, GWR calibrated with network-based distance metric and GWL in terms of estimation error of the dependent variable and goodness-of-fit. Through understanding the variation of each coefficient across space (elasticities) and variables selection of each station, ∗email: [email protected] yCorresponding author, email: [email protected] zemail: [email protected] 1 it provides more realistic conclusions based on local analysis. -
Etonhouse Opens in Shenzhen, Its 40Th Campus in China
EtonHouse opens in Shenzhen, its 40th campus in China The first Singapore based group to open in Shenzhen, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the economic reform process in China Shenzhen, China, December 2018- The EtonHouse International Education Group opened its first pre-school campus in Shenzhen, making it the 40th EtonHouse campus in China. The Group set up its first campus in 2003 in Suzhou and is now present in 28 Chinese cities and has 7500 students in China alone. EtonHouse is also the only Singapore based education provider to establish its presence in Shenzhen. Located near the Overseas China Town (OCT) Tencent and High Technology Park, in the heart of Nanshan District, Shenzhen, the boutique campus covers an area of over 2,500 square meters and has a capacity of 250 students. The pre-school caters to students from 2- 6 years of age has many unique and innovative features such as a spacious playground, rooftop garden, a children’s kitchen, a light studio and performing and visual art spaces. These learning spaces encourage children to explore creative play and inquiries in a child- responsive environment. The EtonHouse international inquiry based curriculum ‘Inquire Think Learn’ will be delivered in this campus in a dual language environment offered in English and Chinese. The philosophy is inspired by the globally renowned pedagogy of Reggio Emilia, a teaching project from Italy. The EtonHouse curriculum, successful in more than 12 countries and 100 campuses is international in its approach but connected to the local community in the way that it is delivered, thus offering a wonderful blend of the East and the West. -

The first time I was hit by such formidable power of music was around 25 years ago when I was a young man in a mood of romance. I was learning playing guitar and happened to get a music cassette of Nicolas de Angelis. Immediately I was absorbed and shocked by one of his compositions “Quelques notes pour Anna” of its beauty, romance and purity. For few weeks, I was kind of drunk into the melody and dreamed of someday I can play out some beautiful guitars like that. -
