  • Doug Ogden December 2006
    JPMorgan’s Hands-On China Series Views you can use Transcript – Doug Ogden December 2006 NEW REPORT Investment Opportunities in China’s Clean Energy Technology In this presentation to global investors, Douglas Ogden, Director of the China Sustainable Energy Program in Beijing and Executive Vice President of The Energy Foundation in San Francisco, discussed the numerous opportunities for clean energy technology investment in China. These opportunities depend on social investment in upstream policies that shape markets conducive to modern, clean energy technologies. China’s traditional energy technologies, based predominantly on oil and relatively dirty coal, are priced well below social costs, skewing China’s market in favor of inefficient, Doug Ogden outmoded, and heavily polluting energy technologies. The current unsustainable situation has enormous public health and environmental costs. Director, China Sustainable These conditions, however, are being gradually reversed through concerted public policy Energy Program and legal institutional capacity building supported by international non-profits, multilateral Executive Vice President, banks, and the business community. Energy Foundation Engagement in policy development and implementation can be a highly successful strategy for creating market opportunities for clean energy technologies: Witness the progress over the last 8 years that have ushered in: China’s advanced fuel economy standards—driving markets in advanced engine technologies; The national renewable energy law and wind concessions—creating

  • Management and Business Review (MBR) Mission, Plan, and Call for Papers
    Management and Business Review (MBR) Mission, Plan, and Call for Papers We are happy to announce the upcoming launch of a new journal, Management and Business Review (MBR). The mission of MBR is to disseminate knowledge that advances management practice and improves the world. We will publish MBR in print as well as online. Visit our website www.mbrjournal.com In contrast to the Harvard Business Review (HBR), which is published by a single school, MBR is the result of a grassroots initiative with a wide participation by many schools and companies. Please see a story on MBR in Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/poetsandquants/2019/10/25/profs-plan-a-rival-to-the-harvard- business-review/#1f1cb0ae10dc We will publish MBR’s first issue of the inaugural volume in August 2020 and the second issue in November 2020. We will distribute their complimentary digital copies to millions of readers. We will share these issues with you so you can share them with anyone you like. Please register yourself, your colleagues in your organization or other organizations, including your dean or your company head, at www.mbrjournal.com so that we can send all of you complimentary digital copies of the four 2020 issues of MBR and share with you more information on MBR. If you have too many email addresses to register manually, you can send them to Kalyan Singhal at [email protected], and we will register them. Next month, we will send an e-mail to the community describing how MBR can help every business school to enhance its brand and strengthen its relationships with alumni and the business community.

    47-779. Quantum Integer Programming Mini-1, Fall 2020 Room: Zoom Online Time: Tuesday and Thursday 5:20pm-7:10pm Instructors: Sridhar Tayur Email: [email protected] Office: 4216 Tepper Quad Davide Venturelli Email: [email protected] Office: Online David E. Bernal Email: [email protected] Office: 3116 Doherty Hall Office Hours: Post your questions in the forum provided for this purpose on Canvas. This course will be conducted online. Objectives: This course is primarily designed for graduate students (and advanced undergraduates) in- terested in integer programming (with non-linear objective functions) and the potential of near-term quan- tum and quantum-inspired computing for solving combinatorial optimization problems. By the end of the semester, someone enrolled in this course should be able to: • Appreciate the current status of quantum computing and its potential use for integer programming • Access and use quantum computing resources (such as D-Wave Quantum Annealers) • Set up a given integer program to be solved with quantum computing • Work in groups collaboratively on a state-of-the-art project involving applications of quantum com- puting and integer programming This course is not going to focus on the following topics: • Quantum Gates and Circuits • Computational complexity theory • Quantum Information Theory • Analysis of speedup using differential geometry, algebraic topology, etc. Prerequisite classes and capabilities: Although this class has no explicit prerequisites we consider a list of recommended topics and skills that the student should feel comfortable with. An undergraduate-level understanding of probability, calculus, statistics, graph theory, algorithms, and linear algebra is assumed. Knowledge of linear and integer programming will be useful for this course.

  • Jain Teachers in the New World
    Jainism Jain Teachers in the New World Jain Teachers in the New World Summary: While most Jain monastics remained in India, two Jains with monastic experience made the journey to America. In 1971 Muni (a term used to refer to certain Jain monks) Chitrabhanu ceased his monastic life, became a lay teacher, and moved to America. Another Jain monk, Acharya Sushil Kumar, remained a monk, but broke the prohibition on travel and traveled to the United States to teach and found an ashram in New Jersey. While it has a strong and growing lay leadership, the Jain community in North America has had to function with little of the lay-monastic interaction that characterizes its life in India. In the 1970s, however, two Jain religious leaders came to the United States and have, in different ways, made a contribution to the leadership of the Jain tradition here. Both were steeped in the Jain monastic tradition and had been studying, teaching, and traveling on foot amongst the Jains of India for many years before deciding to come to the West. When he came to America in 1971, Muni Chitrabhanu ceased his monastic life, married, and became a teacher—albeit a teacher with the background and training of a monk. Acharya Sushil Kumar remained a monk, as he had been for 33 years, but broke the strong prohibition on travel. He lectured throughout the West, participated in Jain and interfaith conferences, established a Jain ashram in the hills of New Jersey, and was an active leader of Jain education and institution building until his death in 1994.

In your quote that was part of the University better connectivity will be available by the end of the year. Professor announcement, you mentioned quantum The hardware on AQC paradigm from D-Wave computing (QC). Now that sounds very different from (Chimera architecture) is a bit more mature, and their next your research in supply chains and healthcare version (Pegasus) slated to be available soon appears even operations. How does QC fit in with your research more so. Our experience with Chimera (and outlook based interests? on Pegasus) is presented in our paper: Graver Bases via A: Actually, it is very much in line with my core Quantum Annealing with Application to Non-Linear Integer research interests of exploring new mathematics and Programs.

Some technologies in search of very different types of algorithms instances of industrial problems that have resisted good to solve industrial scale problems faster. solutions by commercially available classical solvers are solvable on Chimera using our hybrid quantum-classical Q: Can you give a quick overview of quantum approach, and this is very encouraging as we know Pegasus computing landscape? can do so much more.

Finally, my dream came true and after six years of my effort and with the help of some Jain community members in India, finally I have put together this document. It took me this long because I had to struggle to get lots of information and talked to many scholars, Sadhus in India to get information, particularly about Dev Devies, particularly 16 Vidya Devies, as this information is not available in original Jain scriptures. Dev Devies came about seventh century in the era of Sri Yasovijay Maharaj Saheb. He was the big sadhak of Sri Saraswati Devi. With the help of her sadhana, he convinced many Brahamins about Jain religion and philosophy. I would like to thank Dr.
