Chao Yuen Ren (1892–1982)
No full textY. R. Chao is easily the most famous linguist to have come out of China. Born before the end of the last dynasty in China, he received a traditional Confucian education, but was also one of the first Chinese people to be sent to the West for training in modern Western science (under the Boxer Indemnity Fund). The remarkable breadth and scope of his studies included physics, mathematics, linguistics, musical and literary composition, and translation, and he was a pioneer in many of these fields
Stephen Chao oral history interview and transcript
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of oral history interviews conducted by the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University. This collection includes audio recordings and transcripts of interviews with Asian Americans native to or living in Houston.Stephen Chao was born and raised in Clear Lake, a suburb of Houston, Texas, in 1979. His family moved to Clear Lake due to his father’s employment at NASA, and he grew up socializing with other Chinese-American families at the local church and visiting Houston Chinatown on the weekends. He attended Rice University where he completed a degree in Biochemistry and Policy Studies, and got involved with many different organizations such as OCA-Greater Houston and the Houston Asian-American Film Festival, both of which he is still involved with today. Afterwards, he attended medical school at UT San Antonio and currently practices as a family physician in a low-income clinic in Sharpstown Gulfton. He is on the faculty at Baylor College of Medicine and is involved with many health care advocacy groups such as Health Care for All Texas and Promotores in San Antonio

Sinocrassula jiaozishanensis Chao Chen, J. G. Wang & Z. R. He 2022, sp. nov.
No full textSinocrassula jiaozishanensis Chao Chen, J.G.Wang & Z.R. He sp. nov. (Fig.1, 2, 3) Type:— CHINA. Yunnan Province, Jiaozi Mountain, 102.7828E, 26.1803N, 2373m, 5 October 2016, C . Chen et al. JZS1001 (holotype YUKU!, isotypes YUKU!). Diagnosis:— This species is somewhat similar to S. ambigua (Praeger 1921:13) A. Berger (1930: 462), but differs in having turquoise leaves and the tip of the leaves red (Fig. 1 A, D, E) (vs. beige to purplish-red leaves and the tip no colour change in S. ambigua), length of sepals and perianth segments subequal (Fig. 1 H, I, J) (vs. sepals significantly longer than perianth in S. ambigua), inflorescence 10–20 cm (Fig. 1 A) (vs. 1.2–2.5 cm in S. ambigua), nectar scale oblong 0.3 × 0.6 mm (vs. 0.5 × 0.5 mm, subquadrate in S. ambigua). Description (Fig. 1): Perennial, glabrous, succulent. Roots fibrous. Stems creeping, erect or somewhat pendulous, terete. Basal leaves opposite, not rosulate, stem leaves alternate, round obovate or oblanceolate to oblong, acute or cuspidate, turquoise with red apex, 2–3.5 × 1.3–2 cm. Flowering stems terminal, erect, apex bending or drooping ca. 10–20 cm tall; inflorescences corymbiform, ca. 20–45-flowered cyme to 10 cm in diam; bracts sessile, alternate or opposite, obovate or lanceolate, 0.15–1.5 × 0.2–0.7 cm. Flowers bisexual, ca. 6 mm in diam; sepals narrowly triangular, ca. 3.5 × 0.8 mm, minutely papillate; petals base white, central and above rose to purple, oblong-lanceolate, apex cuspidate, ca. 1.8 × 4.2 mm; stamens ca. 4mm; anthers purple, orbicular, pollen yellow. Nectar scales yellow, oblong or kidney-shaped, 0.55–0.65 × 0.25–0.3 mm. Carpels 5, distinct, ovate-lanceolate. ca. 4 mm. Styles erect, short, ca. 1.2 mm, apex red. Fl. Mar-May, fr. Apr-Jun. Paratypes:— CHINA. Yunnan Province, Jiaozi Mountain, 102.7828E, 26.1803N, 2373m, 5 October 2016, C . Chen et al. JZS1002 (YUKU), C . Chen et al. JZS1003 (YUKU). Distribution and Habitat: — Sinocrassula jiaozishanensis is only known from Jiduo village, Xueshan Township, Luquan County, in the crevice of cliffs with epilithic plants (e.g., Selaginella pulvinata (Hook. et Grev.) Maxim, Incarvillea arguta (Royle) Royle, Arthraxon lanceolatus (Roxb.) Hochst var. lanceolatus) (Fig. 2). Phenology:— Flowering time March-May, fruiting time April-June. Conservation status: In the type locality of Sinocrassula jiaozishanensis, only 10 plants were found, and we failed to find more populations or individuals besides type locality. Because of the restricted distribution and the peculiar habitat, we assessed S. jiaozishanensis as Critically Endangered (CR) according to criterion D (IUCN 2017). Etymology: —The specific epithet “ jiaozishanensis” refers to Jiaozi mountain where the species was discovered. Jiaozi Mountain is a famous mountain in Kunming, Yunnan province.Published as part of Wang, Jia-Guan, Chen, Chao, Wang, Yi & He, Zhao-Rong, 2022, Sinocrassula jiaozishanensis (Crassulaceae), a new species from Yunnan Province, China, pp. 10-20 in Phytotaxa 541 (1) on page 13, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.541.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/637510

Modelling the bandwidth allocation problem in mobile service-oriented networks
No full textWhen the services requested by mobile application workflows are distributed over a network of mobile smart devices, the question arises as to which service should be allocated with how much bandwidth and when in order to satisfy service demands? Furthermore, the mobility of smart mobile devices brings forward the challenge to determine how changes in mobile network conditions affect the bandwidth requirements of interacting services. In this paper, we construct a Network I-O model to describe the bandwidth dependencies in mobile service-oriented networks incorporating and extend on the principles of the Leontief Input-Output model in economics. Various factors such as bandwidth and service demand are accounted for in the model. The network I-O model lays the foundation for future objective developments in ubiquitous mobile computing scenarios. Results from simulation studies are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods
