    In this author interview, we speak to Dr Phillipa K. Chong about her recent book, Inside the Critics’ Circle: Book Reviewing in Uncertain Times, which takes readers behind the scenes of fiction reviewing, drawing on interviews with critics to explore the complexities of the review-writing process within a broader context of uncertainty

    LINK CAPACITY ALLOCATION AND NETWORK CONTROL BY FILTERED INPUT RATE IN HIGH-SPEED NETWORKS

    No full text
    We study link capacity allocation for a finite buffer system to transmit multimedia traffic. The queueing process is simulated with real video traffic. Two key concepts are eplored in this study. First, the link capacity requirement at each node is essentially captured by its low-frequency input traffic (filtered at a properly selected cut-off frequency). Second, the low-frequency traffic stays intact as it travels through a finite-buffer system without significant loss. Hence, one may overlook the queueing process at each node for network-wide traffic flow in the low-frequency band. We propose a simple, effective method for link capacity allocation and network control using on-line observation of traffic flow in the low-frequency band. The study explores a new direction for measurement-based traffic control in high-speed networks.National Science Foundation under grant NCR9015757 and by the Texas Advanced Research Program

    Wang Chong "Lun heng" xin tan =: Reinvestigation on Lunheng of Wang Chong

    No full text
    M.Phil.Lunheng(論衡) is the only extant work from Wang Chong(王充 27-100), renowned Eastern Han philosopher, in the contemporary society. In the autobiography Ziji(自紀),Wang Chong portrayed it as a book written due to his “dissatisfaction with the many deceitful books and popular literature devoid of veracity and (傷偽書俗文多不實誠). Consequently, Lunheng has been generally interpreted as a work that embodies the spirit of “criticism on fictions and (疾虛妄) in various academic fields. On the other hand, Wang Chong has become a significant representative in philosophical history of Han with his acclaimed status as a realist evincing an avid interest in the criticism to falsehood and pursuit of truth. However, the assumption of such writing aspiration proves to be inadequate to the interpretation of the text, for there are considerable contents unrelated to “criticism on fictions and falsehood” in Lunheng. Second, plenty of debates and discussions in Lunheng suggest that Wang Chong lacks actual concerns for reason and truth. To a certain extent, such discourses even reveal the opposite of such readiness. In view of the doubts regarding this persisting premise, the present impartial discourse of Wang Chong’s thoughts and his historical image is thus challenged and awaits vigorous reinvestigation.This thesis attempts to carry out such reinvestigation and mainly involves four chapters. The first chapter begins with the reappraisal of the study of Wang Chong’s social stratum as its approach, hoping to discover the emotional foundation that the writing rests on and the basic concerns of Wang Chong as a scholar and a minor government official. The second chapter revolves around the articles related to “criticism on fictions and falsehood”, targeting at the inspection of the modus of the criticism in Lunheng, as well as the Wang Chong’s writing intention and values refracted from it. The third chapter centers on the last seven chapters of Lunheng, in which they reflect the ultimate ambition and related contestations with traditional Confucianist values of the author. The fourth and final chapter investigates the source of credibility that underlies the criticism and thought of Wang Chong, so as to reveal the gist of its philosophical characteristics and historical meaning. This thesis aims to establish a new and consistent interpretation for Lunheng, present an objective picture of Wang Chong’s thoughts, and give a proper evaluation to its importance.《論衡》是東漢王充(27-100)惟一傳世著作,據全書總序〈自紀〉篇所述,《論衡》是因為「傷偽書俗文多不實誠」而撰作,〈佚文〉篇又謂「《論衡》篇以十數,亦一言也,曰『疾虛妄』」。故此《論衡》歷來多以「疾虛妄」為宗旨的著作定位進入各個範疇的研究領域,王充亦以一位考實辨虛的務實學者之身分成為漢代思想史上重要的哲人代表。然而細審文本,書中固然有不少與「疾虛妄」無關的篇章,王充的議論亦呈現了對於事理、事實並無真切關懷的現象,部分論述甚至與所謂「疾虛妄」的思想宗旨背道而馳。準此,「疾虛妄」能否概括《論衡》一書的宗旨而由此而來有關王充其人及其《論衡》思想的研究,乃至於其歷史定位的結論就有亟待重探的必要了。本文之撰,旨在重探王充著述《論衡》的真正動機及其反映的思想特色,全文分為四個主要章節。第一章由王充的社會階層切入以展開討論,通過考察書中反映其士、吏的身分之視域以考見王充撰作的緣起。第二章進一步剖析《論衡》「疾虛妄」作品的形式特點與其所能說明的著述動機及價值取態。第三章聚焦探討全書最後七篇作品,以揭示王充著書的終極關懷及其與傳統儒家思想的矛盾與張力。第四章考察王充在書中實現其終極關懷時,其論述與思考背後的價值根據,並藉此抉發王充思想的時代特徵與意義。本文期望通過對《論衡》文本的細讀、爬疏,組織一個新的、貫通全書的詮釋方式,藉以更客觀地呈現王充真實的思想面貌,並對王充其人及其書予以適切的歷史評價。陳子星."2020年4月".Parallel title from English abstract.Thesis M.Phil.

    치의학과/석사[영문] [한글] 개인식별의 감정은 법의 법치학 및 과학수사 분야의 중요한 관심사로서 그중의 하나인 피부문리에 대하여는 지문을 중심으로 주로 연구 응용되어왔다. 최근에는 다시 법치학적 으로 구순문의 개발과 응용이 활발히 시도되어 왔으나 이에대한 국내의 연구는 미미한 실 정이다. 이에 저자는 구순문의 개인식별에 응용가능성 여부를 확인하기 위하여 3세에서 7 1세에 이르는 380명의 무작위 추출한 대상의 구순문을 채득하고 이를 분류, 비교한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) Tsuchihashi의 개량법에 의한 분류에 의하여 출현빈도가 Ⅰ형이 가장높고 Ⅱ형 Ⅲ형 Ⅰ'형 Ⅳ형 Ⅴ형의 순서임이 확인되었다. 2) 구순문의 부동성(不同性)이 관찰되었다. 3) 가족 구성원간에도 구순문의 형태가 일치되는 예가 없었다. 4) 구순문의 형태는 경시적으로 보아도 변화되지 않음이 인정되었다. A Study on personal identification by means of Lip prints. KYE-CHONG KIM, D.D.S. Dept. of Oral Diagnosis, Graduate School, YonSei University. (Directed by: prof. CHONG-YOUL KIM, D.D.S., M.S.D., Ph.D) The Author had tried to classily lip print patterne of 380 persons aged from 3 to 71 for detecting possibility of individual identification. The results were as follows. 1) The incidency of lip print patterns by means of the Tsuchihashi modification method was high in typeⅠ, typeⅡ, typeⅢ, typeⅠ', typeⅣ, typeⅤ, respectively. 2) Any of lip print had no same shape. 3) No same shape of lip print was found even family members. 4) the shapes of lip prints were unchangeable in talc period of 5 months.restrictio
