  • The Power of Partnership Li Ka Shing Foundation Gift and Alberta Government Funding Help Establish Virology Institute at U of A
    The Power of Partnership Li Ka Shing Foundation gift and Alberta Government funding help establish virology institute at U of A April 23, 2010 Edmonton — The University of Alberta (U of A) will take a big step forward in its efforts to treat and cure virus-based diseases thanks to a C$28-million (HK$214 million) gift from the Li Ka Shing (Canada) Foundation and C$52.5 million (HK$403.1 million) in new related funding from the Government of Alberta. The donation — the largest cash gift in the university’s history — will help establish the Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology and add the U of A to an elite global health science research network facilitated by the Li Ka Shing Foundation (LKSF). “This generous gift, along with the funding from the Government of Alberta, represents a truly transformative moment in the U of A’s history,” said Indira Samarasekera, president and vice- chancellor of the university. “Our researchers have been at the forefront of virology research for decades, including Dr. Lorne Tyrell and his work developing a treatment for hepatitis B. The Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology will provide a state-of-the-art home to some of the world’s very best researchers in virus-based diseases and will help place the university in its rightful place among top centres of such work.” Along with developing new drugs and vaccines, the institute will seek to attract significant private sector collaboration with multinational pharmaceutical and life sciences companies. “Our government put innovation and technology commercialization at the forefront of our agenda, and as a result this incredible institute will bring benefits to Albertans for generations to come,” said Premier Ed Stelmach.

  • The Rise, Discontent, and Positive Interaction of Cross-Border Arbitration in Hong Kong with Mainland China
    42 U. OF PENNSYLVANIA EAST ASIA LAW REVIEW Vol. 9 15 Years of the Handover: The Rise, Discontent, and Positive Interaction of Cross-border Arbitration in Hong Kong with Mainland China Weixia Gu1 Since the sovereignty handover and establishment of the Hong Kong SAR in 1997, Hong Kong has faced the dual challenges of balancing her need to facilitate a cross-border arbitration regime which is compatible with Mainland China under the principle of “one country, two systems”, and promoting herself as an international arbitration center. The two goals are at times incompatible, as accommodating the localized needs and standards of Mainland China often requires Hong Kong courts to be more “flexible” than established international arbitration standards would allow. This Article attempts to give a comprehensive analysis of the above problems. First, this Article surveys all the cases of the enforcement of Mainland China arbitration awards in Hong Kong courts since the handover to present the actual interpretation of the standard of cross-border arbitration in Hong Kong with Mainland 1 LLB (East China University of Political Science and Law, Shanghai), MCL, SJD (University of Hong Kong), Member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.

  • The Pennsylvania State University the Graduate School Department
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Applied Linguistics UNDERGRADUATE VS. GRADUATE ACADEMIC ENGLISH: A CORPUS-BASED ANALYSIS A Dissertation in Applied Linguistics by Tracy S. Davis 2012 Tracy S. Davis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2012 The dissertation of Tracy S. Davis was reviewed and approved* by the following: Xiaofei Lu Gil Wats Early Career Professor in Language and Linguistics Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Suresh Canagarajah Edwin Erle Sparks Professor in Applied Linguistics and English Xiaoye You Associate Professor of English and Asian Studies Robert Schrauf Professor of Applied Linguistics Karen Johnson Professor of Applied Linguistics Director of Graduate Studies *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT While English as an Academic Language (EAP) has been the focus of much research, the differences between academic English at the undergraduate level and that at the graduate level have largely been ignored. The present study serves to fill that gap in the literature by a) creating two corpora of academic English at the two levels of study and b) comparing the vocabulary, lexical bundles, and grammar related to parts of speech (POS) found in each by emulating a series of corpus studies done on academic English in other contexts. Undergraduate academic English was found to have a more diverse vocabulary, a vocabulary that did not support teaching the Academic Word List (AWL) at the undergraduate level, less diversity in lexical bundles, a greater reliance on lexical bundles with different functions than those used at the graduate level, significantly different use of semantic types of nouns and verbs, significantly different use of personal pronouns, and significantly different use of voice and tense between disciplines at the two levels.
