No full textIn this collection of passionately argued essays, the internationally acclaimed poet and critic Wai-lim Yip calls Western scholarship to account for its treacherous representation of non-Western literature. Yip moves from Plato to Hans-Georg Gadamer, from Chuang-tzu to Mao Tse-tung, from John Donne to Robert Creeley, as he attempts to create a double consciousness that includes the state of mind of the original author and the expressive potentials of the target language. He aims, first, to expose the types of distortions that have occurred in the process of translation from one language to another and, second, to propose guidelines that will prevent this kind of linguistic violence in the future
Chi-Square and F Approximations of Hetelling's Generalized T0^2
No full textTitle: Chi-Square and F Approximations of Hetelling's Generalized T0^2, Author: Davin Y.N. Yip. Location: ThodeChi-square approximation of Retelling's generalized T0^2 have
been investigated by Professor Tiku. In this project, further results
on the approximation are presented and examined. Also, an F approximation
for the distribution of Retelling's generalized T0^2 is proposed. The
results are compared with other approximations and discussed.ThesisMaster of Science (MSc

Lexicon Optimization in Languages without Alternations
No full textLanguages with few or no alternations have never fitted smoothly into rule-based theories with a commitment to lexical economy. To derive rich surface inventories from more parsimonious underlying inventories, it was necessary to postulate abstract underlying forms even for morphemes which only ever surfaced with one particular allophone. Even if lexical economy was demoted as a paramount consideration, the occurrence of alternations in one small corner of the grammar, such as in loanwords, still forced the linguist back to the abstract and rule-based analysis. This was so because the alternative, a set of phonotactic statements about the surface distribution of allophones, could not alone produce alternations: only rules could do that, and once the grammar included rules, they could be made use of for other purposes, including the non-alternating forms. Output-based theories are tailor-made for language of this type. Surface-true generalizations can be trivially dealt with. When alternations are encountered, they can be understood as the direct result of the pressure to observe these surface constraints, and no special rules are needed.
Using data from vowel systems in several Chinese dialects, Mandarin palatal consonants, and Chaoyang nasalization, it is argued that abstract underlying representations and rules that produce surface forms are highly inefficient for non-alternating systems, in that they frequently require both rules that derive A from B, and rules that derive B from A, in the same contexts. It is proposed that language is learnt on the basis of core data, and that non-core data - language games, poetry, speech errors, onomatopoeia, loanwords - can be used as a probe to investigate the nature of the underlying representations. This paper finds inconclusive evidence for abstract underlying representations, and concludes that the balance of the evidence suggests that learners acquire something rather close to what they hear, unless information from alternations or paradigms forces them to do otherwise. These findings provide support for Lexicon Optimization (Prince and Smolensky 1993).The definitive version of this paper was published in Current Trends in Phonology: Models and Methods (1996)Yip, M.

A Comparison of Two Methods of Analyzing a Set of Multidimensional Data
No full textTitle: A Comparison of Two Methods of Analyzing a Set of Multidimensional Data, Author: Shiu-Chin Yip, Location: ThodeIn multivariate analysis problems, one often encounters the
analysis of categorical data. Some authors prefer the analogy of such
analyses with those used for quantitative data, analysis of variance
and regression analysis. In most recent multivariate literature, most
authors agree the use of multidimensional contingency table method.
The purpose of this project is to compare the results obtained in
analyzing part of the data in a psoriasis-liver-methotrexate
interaction study using analysis of variance method and a method which is
more appropriate for categorical data.ThesisMaster of Science (MS
Somnox Mini: A portable breathing regulation device for stress management
No full textMillennials, a generation of individuals born between 1981 and 1996 that are shaping the current working class. One trait that makes millennials stand out from other generations is that their generation is the most stressed out. It is estimated that 20% of employed millennials in the Netherlands are suffering from symptoms due to stress. These symptoms include less life satisfaction, tiredness, and, most importantly, insomnia. The fact that stress causes insomnia makes stress a relevant problem for Somnox, as its mission is to help 100 million people sleep better by 2030. Somnox is a Dutch scale-up that focuses on developing companion-like innovations that improve human wellbeing through the power of breathing. The fast-growing company is on the look-out for new ideas to expand its product portfolio. One of these ideas is a portable breathing regulation device. The assignment’s initial brief was to turn this rough idea of a portable breathing device into an advanced concept design. I approached this by adopting an iterative approach in which I quickly ideated, built prototypes, and validated these with users. This approach has led to the final concept: the Somnox Mini. The Somnox Mini is a portable breathing regulation device that simulates breathing motion using robotics. By following the device’s breathing frequency, the device guides the user in slow breathing - which is a breathing exercise in which the breathing frequency is reduced to 6 breaths per minute. Research shows that breathing at this particular frequency induces a biological phenomenon called respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), which synchronizes the heart rate variability (HRV) and breathing frequency. This stimulates the body’s relaxation response. Long-term practice of slow breathing has been proven to balance overactive stress response and improve insomnia symptoms.Integrated Product Desig
