Experimental demonstration of intermodal dispersion in a two-core optical fiber
No full textThe recent prediction that intermodal dispersion can play a significant role in pulse evolution in a two-core optical fiber was confirmed experimentally. A picosecond pulse at 1.548µm launched into one core of a meters-long two-core fiber was found to come out of either core of the fiber as two temporally separate pulses. By measuring the time delay between these two pulses, the intermodal dispersion in the fiber was estimated to be 1.13ps/m, in good agreement with theory
Chiang Kai-shek and the 28 February 1947 incident: A reassessment
No full textThe objective of this research is to reconsider Chiang Kai-shek's responsibility in causing and resolving the 28 February 1947 Incident (2-28) using a range of the new archive material now available to historians in Taiwan and to provide our own interpretation of the secondary literature on the Incident. Moreover, we are concerned with reintroducing the relevance of agency into the early history of the Kuomintang's (KMT's) involvement in Taiwan, but to do so in a way that demonstrates the interaction of agents with structures. To meet these dual objectives we identify areas of principal investigation that drive the study toward a detailed consideration of Chiang Kai-shek's leadership style and political agenda: the interaction between Chiang and factions in Taiwan in 1947 which has been over-shadowed by the simplicity of the Mainlander-Taiwanese dichotomy, and thus ignores the complexity of the crisis.</p
