My appreciation is also extended to my brother and sister, for their support and the family-caring effort. v ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Migration, Social Network, and Identity: The Evolution of Chinese Community in East San Gabriel Valley, 1980-2010 by Yu-Ju Hung Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in History University of California, Riverside, August 2013 Dr. Clifford Trafzer, Chairperson American immigration reform, global economic rearrangement, and international migration inaugurated a new era of Chinese American immigration. The post-1960s immigration was characterized by various countries of origin, diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, and residential suburban settlements pattern. The San Gabriel Valley, a vast suburban area of Los Angeles County, is the representative of a new type of Chinese immigration community. Creating an ethnic community in Monterey Park in the 1970s, the Chinese utilized a strategy of northward and eastward migration in the following decades. They expand multiple settlements in the San Gabriel Valley, which was divided geographically and chronologically into three sections ― the ethnoburban core in the west, two later-formed ethnic communities in the north and east districts, each populated by various Chinese groups with different residency lengths, socioeconomic backgrounds and distinctive assimilation patterns. The latest Chinese community in east San Gabriel Valley was formed in the late 1980s in four towns, Diamond Bar, Walnut and two unincorporated towns of Hacienda Heights and Rowland Heights. This eastside Chinese society was composed of established middle vi to upper class Chinese mainly re-migrated from west and north territory of the San Gabriel Valley. As an extension of Chinese suburbanization, the evolution of Chinese community in east San Gabriel Valley was intertwined with the transformation of ethnicity-exclusivity and transnational ties, interracial conflict and reconciliation, ethnic intergenerational accommodation, and Americanization. Their residential assimilation and development of social and cultural organizations enhanced this ethnic community with dual features; ethnic solidarity and awareness, as well as highly incorporated link to the local community. This influenced their local civic activities and political participation. The combination of cultural diversity and ethnic uniqueness in the development of the Chinese community in east San Gabriel Valley provides an ongoing example of modified spatial assimilation and a way to measure interracial tensions and ethnic intergenerational incorporation. vii List of Content Chapter I Introduction .......................1 Chapter II The Beginning of Chinese Community in Los Angeles Suburbs ...................... 37 A.

These early Chinese were exclusively male Cantonese-speaking individuals leaving their families in China, and they were often characterized as “sojourners,” rather than immigrants. Suffering from serious anti-Chinese violence during the late nineteenth century, and faced with discriminatory laws in subsequent years, Chinese immigration was barred after the passage of Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882. These early Chinese immigrants were forced to retreat and self-segregate in inner-city ethnic enclaves, Chinatowns, where they were linked with American stereotypes of filth, diseases, and vice impressions of Chinese clannishness and unassimilability. The American immigration reform in 1968, together with the global economic realignment and an increasing trend of international migration, brought a tremendous growth in the number of Chinese immigrants to the country. New Chinese immigrants soon became the

Transiting planets around stars are discovered mostly through photometric surveys. Unlike radial velocity surveys, photo- metric surveys do not tend to target slow rotators, inactive or metal-rich stars. Nevertheless, we suspect that observational biases could also impact transiting-planet hosts. Aims. This paper aims to evaluate how selection effects reflect on the evolutionary stage of both a limited sample of transiting-planet host stars (TPH) and a wider sample of planet-hosting stars detected through radial velocity analysis. Then, thanks to uniform deriva- tion of stellar ages, a homogeneous comparison between exoplanet hosts and field star age distributions is developed. Methods. Stellar parameters have been computed through our custom-developed isochrone placement algorithm, according to Padova evolutionary models. The notable aspects of our algorithm include the treatment of element diffusion, activity checks in terms of 0 log RHK and v sin i, and the evaluation of the stellar evolutionary speed in the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram in order to better constrain age.

Medical institutions find it necessary to ensure accurate and speedy communication between patients and medical professionals, but only a limited number of countries have professionally trained medical interpreters to facilitate communication in medical settings. This study will attempt to clarify the process of development of medical interpreting in the United States, where medical interpreting services have long been provided at no cost to patients based on federal law. Chapter One outlines the situation in Japan and other countries around the world. In Japan, the number of foreign residents has been increasing steadily since the immigration control law was amended in 1990. Recently, however, the number of foreign visitors has grown dramatically, but the development of medical interpreting has just started. Some local governments have taken the initiative to train interpreters and build their own systems to employ them, but there has yet to be a national blueprint for doing so.

SILICON AND OXYGEN ABUNDANCES IN PLANET-HOST STARS Erik Brugamyer, Sarah E. Dodson-Robinson, William D. Cochran, and Christopher Sneden Department of Astronomy and McDonald Observatory, University of Texas at Austin, 1 University Station C1400, Austin, TX 78712, USA; [email protected] Received 2011 February 4; accepted 2011 June 22; published 2011 August 16 ABSTRACT The positive correlation between planet detection rate and host star iron abundance lends strong support to the core accretion theory of planet formation. However, iron is not the most significant mass contributor to the cores of giant planets. Since giant planet cores are thought to grow from silicate grains with icy mantles, the likelihood of gas giant formation should depend heavily on the oxygen and silicon abundance of the planet formation environment. Here we compare the silicon and oxygen abundances of a set of 76 planet hosts and a control sample of 80 metal-rich stars without any known giant planets. Our new, independent analysis was conducted using high resolution, high signal-to-noise data obtained at McDonald Observatory. Because we do not wish to simply reproduce the known planet–metallicity correlation, we have devised a statistical method for matching the underlying [Fe/H] distributions of our two sets of stars. We find a 99% probability that planet detection rate depends on the silicon abundance of the host star, over and above the observed planet–metallicity correlation.
