Ya-Chung Chuang, Democracy on Trial: Social movements and cultural politics in postauthoritarian Taiwan,
Get PDFThe “Sunflower Movement” of spring 2014 has re-activated much scholarly interest in the world of Taiwan’s social movements, which had somewhat declined over recent years. Ya-Chung Chuang’s book, although published before the events leading to the occupation of the Legislative Yuan last year, is therefore timely. One of its major intentions is to highlight the importance of a vital civil society and self-confident social movements for a stable and healthy Taiwanese democracy. Chuang is an anth..
Distributed human computation framework for linked data co-reference resolution
Get PDFDistributed Human Computation (DHC) is a technique used to solve computational problems by incorporating the collaborative effort of a large number of humans. It is also a solution to AI-complete problems such as natural language processing. The Semantic Web with its root in AI is envisioned to be a decentralised world-wide information space for sharing machine-readable data with minimal integration costs. There are many research problems in the Semantic Web that are considered as AI-complete problems. An example is co-reference resolution, which involves determining whether different URIs refer to the same entity. This is considered to be a significant hurdle to overcome in the realisation of large-scale Semantic Web applications. In this paper, we propose a framework for building a DHC system on top of the Linked Data Cloud to solve various computational problems. To demonstrate the concept, we are focusing on handling the co-reference resolution in the Semantic Web when integrating distributed datasets. The traditional way to solve this problem is to design machine-learning algorithms. However, they are often computationally expensive, error-prone and do not scale. We designed a DHC system named iamResearcher, which solves the scientific publication author identity co-reference problem when integrating distributed bibliographic datasets. In our system, we aggregated 6 million bibliographic data from various publication repositories. Users can sign up to the system to audit and align their own publications, thus solving the co-reference problem in a distributed manner. The aggregated results are published to the Linked Data Cloud
Ya-Chung Chuang, Democracy on Trial: Social Movements and Cultural Politics in Postauthoritarian Taiwan,
Get PDFLe « Mouvement des Tournesols » du printemps 2014 a relancé chez les chercheurs un intérêt pour les mouvements sociaux à Taiwan qui s’était un peu estompé ces dernières années. Le livre de Ya-Chung Chuang, quoi que publié avant les événements qui ont conduit à l’occupation du Yuan législatif l’année dernière, tombe donc à point nommé. Un des objectifs principaux de l’ouvrage est de mettre au jour l’importance d’une société civile dynamique et de mouvements sociaux déterminés pour garantir une..

No full text<p> <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung ex T.C. Hsu & S.W. Chung, <i>sp. nov.</i></p> <p> [“ <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung (1977: 21, as <i>triangulosepalum</i>)”, <i>nom. inval.</i>; “ <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung ex H.W.

Chung ” in Chen <i>et al.</i> (2017: 329, as <i>triangulosepalum</i>), <i>nom. inval.</i>].</p> <p> <b>Type:</b> — TAIWAN. Hualien County: Hsiulin Township, Lo-ma-wan Shan, 1800 m elev., 15 June 1973, <i>N.J. Chung 280</i> (holotype: NTUF!, barcode: F00008307; isotypes: NTUF!, eight sheets, barcodes: F00008308–F00008315).</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis:</b> — <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> is similar to <i>S. truncatistigmum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung (1977: 23) in sharing epiphytic life-form, alternate and ±flattened leaves and fused calyx, while the former is readily distinguished in having longer calyx (1.5–2.0 vs. 0.8–1.0 mm) that are only fused at the base (vs. nearly entirely fused).</p> <p> <b>Morphological descriptions and illustrations:</b> —This species has been described by Liu & Chung (1977: 21) and illustrated by Tang & Huang (1989: 27, pl. 15, as <i>Sedum microsepalum</i>), Chen <i>et al.</i> (2017: 329) and Ito <i>et al.</i> (2017: 11, fig. 1D).</p> <p> <b>Distribution and ecology:</b> — <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> is endemic in Taiwan, where it occurs in the northern and eastern portions of the main island and usually grows on tree trunks in montane cloud forests at 500–2000 m elev. (Liu & Chung 1977; Chen <i>et al.</i> 2017; Ito <i>et al.</i> 2017).</p> <p> <b>Etymology:</b> —The specific epithet is composed of two Latin elements: <i>triangulus</i>, triangular, and <i>sepalum</i>, sepal, referring to its triangular calyx lobes. It should be spelt as “ <i>triangulisepalum</i> ” instead of “ <i>triangulosepalum</i> ” as originally published by Liu & Chung (1977) according to Art. 60.10 of the ICN.</p> <p> <b>Note:</b> —Two gatherings, “ <i>Suzuki s.n.</i> ” collected from Wulai and “ <i>Chuang 280</i> ” collected from Lomawanshan, were cited under <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> by Liu & Chung (1977), and “ <i>Chuang 280</i> ” is presumably a typo of “ <i>Chung 280</i> ” since the “ <i>N.J. Chung 280</i> ” gathering, collected by the second original author and currently preserved in NTUF, matches well with the data given in the original publication (Liu & Chung 1977). There are nine duplicates of <i>Chung 280</i>, including one (barcode: F00008307) labelled as “ holotype ” and the others (barcodes: F00008308–F00008315) as “isotype”. Although these labels could not be archived as the legitimate designation of types as they are not effectively published (see Art. 7.10 of the ICN), they supposedly reflect the original author’s intention and are thus adopted here. Images of all type materials are available in the “Plants of Taiwan ” database [http://tai2.ntu.edu.tw].</p>Published as part of <i>Hsu, Tian-Chuan & Chung, Shih-Wen, 2022, Validation of the name Sedum triangulosepalum (Crassulaceae), pp. 215-216 in Phytotaxa 547 (2)</i> on page 215, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.547.2.10, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/6571375">http://zenodo.org/record/6571375</a>
