Jing Chen, Xi Huo, and Shigui Ruan Proposal of Organizing A
Disease Modelling – from Within-Host to Population Organizers: Jing Chen, Xi Huo, and Shigui Ruan Proposal of organizing a mini-symposium in CMPD5 • Mini-symposium title: Disease Modelling – from Within-Host to Population • Organizers: Jing Chen, Nova Southeastern University, [email protected] Xi Huo, University of Miami, [email protected] Shigui Ruan, University of Miami, [email protected] • Synopsis: The scope of disease models varies with respect to the purpose of the study, from the within-host scale on the dynamics of cells and pathogens, to the population scale on the dynamics of human and vector populations. This mini-symposium brings together talks in different scales of disease modeling, and aims for stimulating ideas and collaborations in multiple-scale modelling. The invited talks are nicely balanced in both scales: we will have talks given by Drs. Gurarie (1st talk), Jang, Munther, Rong, Salceanu, focusing on the dynamics of the pathogens and immune cells within the host population. We have Dr. Vaidya talking about how to bridge within-host and between host dynamics together in order to model HIV infections and spreads. We will have another half of speakers, Drs. Deng, Feng, Gurarie (2nd talk), Huang, Nevai, Ripoll, Shuai, and Zhang, to talk about modeling transmission and control of various diseases on the population level. Lastly, we will have Hao Kang to present his findings in analyzing a generalized structured population model on disease spreads. • Confirmed speakers: 1. Libin Rong, University of Florida Title: Modeling HIV Dynamics under Treatment 2. Paul Salceanu, University of Louisiana at Lafayette Title: A Time-Delay Bacteria and Chronic Bacteriophage Model 3. -
Representing Talented Women in Eighteenth-Century Chinese Painting: Thirteen Female Disciples Seeking Instruction at the Lake Pavilion
REPRESENTING TALENTED WOMEN IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHINESE PAINTING: THIRTEEN FEMALE DISCIPLES SEEKING INSTRUCTION AT THE LAKE PAVILION By Copyright 2016 Janet C.

Chen certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: REPRESENTING TALENTED WOMEN IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY CHINESE PAINTING: THIRTEEN FEMALE DISCIPLES SEEKING INSTRUCTION AT THE LAKE PAVILION ________________________________ Chairperson Marsha Haufler Date approved: May 13, 2016 ii Abstract As the first comprehensive art-historical study of the Qing poet Yuan Mei (1716–97) and the female intellectuals in his circle, this dissertation examines the depictions of these women in an eighteenth-century handscroll, Thirteen Female Disciples Seeking Instructions at the Lake Pavilion, related paintings, and the accompanying inscriptions. Created when an increasing number of women turned to the scholarly arts, in particular painting and poetry, these paintings documented the more receptive attitude of literati toward talented women and their support in the social and artistic lives of female intellectuals. These pictures show the women cultivating themselves through literati activities and poetic meditation in nature or gardens, common tropes in portraits of male scholars. The predominantly male patrons, painters, and colophon authors all took part in the formation of the women’s public identities as poets and artists; the first two determined the visual representations, and the third, through writings, confirmed and elaborated on the designated identities. -
Names of Chinese People in Singapore
101 Lodz Papers in Pragmatics 7.1 (2011): 101-133 DOI: 10.2478/v10016-011-0005-6 Lee Cher Leng Department of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore ETHNOGRAPHY OF SINGAPORE CHINESE NAMES: RACE, RELIGION, AND REPRESENTATION Abstract Singapore Chinese is part of the Chinese Diaspora.This research shows how Singapore Chinese names reflect the Chinese naming tradition of surnames and generation names, as well as Straits Chinese influence. The names also reflect the beliefs and religion of Singapore Chinese. More significantly, a change of identity and representation is reflected in the names of earlier settlers and Singapore Chinese today. This paper aims to show the general naming traditions of Chinese in Singapore as well as a change in ideology and trends due to globalization. Keywords Singapore, Chinese, names, identity, beliefs, globalization. 1. Introduction When parents choose a name for a child, the name necessarily reflects their thoughts and aspirations with regards to the child. These thoughts and aspirations are shaped by the historical, social, cultural or spiritual setting of the time and place they are living in whether or not they are aware of them. Thus, the study of names is an important window through which one could view how these parents prefer their children to be perceived by society at large, according to the identities, roles, values, hierarchies or expectations constructed within a social space.

Communication, Empire, and Authority in the Qing Gazette
COMMUNICATION, EMPIRE, AND AUTHORITY IN THE QING GAZETTE by Emily Carr Mokros A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2016 © 2016 Emily Carr Mokros All rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation studies the political and cultural roles of official information and political news in late imperial China. Using a wide-ranging selection of archival, library, and digitized sources from libraries and archives in East Asia, Europe, and the United States, this project investigates the production, regulation, and reading of the Peking Gazette (dibao, jingbao), a distinctive communications channel and news publication of the Qing Empire (1644-1912). Although court gazettes were composed of official documents and communications, the Qing state frequently contracted with commercial copyists and printers in publishing and distributing them. As this dissertation shows, even as the Qing state viewed information control and dissemination as a strategic concern, it also permitted the free circulation of a huge variety of timely political news. Readers including both officials and non-officials used the gazette in order to compare judicial rulings, assess military campaigns, and follow court politics and scandals. As the first full-length study of the Qing gazette, this project shows concretely that the gazette was a powerful factor in late imperial Chinese politics and culture, and analyzes the close relationship between information and imperial practice in the Qing Empire. By arguing that the ubiquitous gazette was the most important link between the Qing state and the densely connected information society of late imperial China, this project overturns assumptions that underestimate the importance of court gazettes and the extent of popular interest in political news in Chinese history. -
Phase-Field Simulation of Polymer Crystallization During Cooling Stage

Ruan et al. [4] proposed a pixel coloring cooling stage by considering the effect of temperature on the technique based on the Hoffman-Lauritzen theory to capture nucleation density. It assumes that the nucleation mechanism is heterogeneous, and the relationship between the nucleation the crystallization morphology evolution and calculating the density and the temperature is described by an empirical crystallization kinetics. According to coupling the function. The crystal growth after nucleation is modeled by a temperature field, non-isothermal crystallizations of polymers modified phase-field method which uses a non-conserved crystal with or without short fiber reinforced components were order parameter to indicate whether the material is solid or simulated. liquid.

It was validated with the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). Results show that the proportion who self-reported as Chinese has high agreement with the proportion identified by the surname list in the CCHS. The surname list was applied to the Alberta Health Insurance Plan registry database to define the Chinese ethnic population, and to the Vital Statistics Death Registry to assess the Chinese ethnic population mortality in Alberta. -
CANTONESE LOVE SONGS (YUE OU粵謳) PREFACE TWO1 Translated with an Introduction by LITONG CHEN and NICHOLAS JOCH
Asian Literature and Translation Vol. 3, No. 2 (2015) 1-15 CANTONESE LOVE SONGS (YUE OU粵謳) PREFACE TWO1 Translated with an Introduction by LITONG CHEN and NICHOLAS JOCH Introduction The term “Yue ou” 粵謳 (alternatively Yueh eo) has at least three different yet mutually-related meanings. First, the term refers to a traditional form of folk songs sung in the Pearl River Delta region, Guangdong, for hundreds of years. The authors of the songs are usually unknown; a single song may have several variations, in terms of both the tune and the lyrics. Additionally, Yue ou can indicate a genre of songs, the lyrics of which were composed by Cantonese poets (most of whom were also experts in music) in the 19th century. The tunes were edited on the basis of traditional folk songs. In the current project, Yue ou takes a third meaning, i.e., the name of a particular songbook, composed of 97 folk songs. The songbook was written by Zhao Ziyong 招子庸 (alternatively Chao Tzu-yung, Jiu Ji-yung), one of the few folk song writers whose name and identity are known (together with Feng Xun 馮詢 and Qiu Mengqi 邱夢旗, as Xian (1947) mentions). Zhao was born in 1795 (the 60th year of Emperor Qianlong’s乾隆 reign) in Nanhai 南 海, Guangdong, and died in 1846 (the 26th year of Emperor Daoguang’s道光 reign). His courtesy name was Mingshan 銘山, his literary name being Layman Mingshan 明珊居士. The songbook Yue ou is probably the second earliest extant colloquial Cantonese document.2 The collection is important not only as a reflection of everyday life in 19th-century Guangdong, but also as a profoundly authentic snapshot of spoken Cantonese, which is usually written with a mixture of standard Chinese characters and a number of additional characters created specifically for Cantonese.
