Taiwan’s democratic progressive party and its mainland china policy
No full textTaiwan has successfully changed its political system from dictatorship into a democracy since the end of 1980s. Some people do not like 'Taiwan's democracy' -some candidates get elected by bribery in election, parliamentary fighting., but the majority of the Taiwanese people really enjoy their freedom in their homeland. They do know, at least, they have the right to oppose the government, no one would be shot by the national military force in a demonstration. The political systems are totally different between Taiwan and Mainland China, one is democracy, another is communism. Even the majority of the Taiwanese people are Chinese in ethnic origin, but their life experience are different over the past 50 years, it is difficult for any side to persuade the other side which one is better. Some Chinese Taiwanese people believe that they can have a better life, if their homeland—Taiwan can be really independent in the international community. Taiwan’s political opposition built Taiwan's first opposition party— Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) 13 years ago, and with the dream of establishing a new independent country on Taiwan. The establishment of the DPP is the result of the political opposition movement in Taiwan. Most of the members of the DPP have a strong Taiwanese identity, which is very different from the ruling KMT in Taiwan and the ruling CCP in China. The DPP gains more influence in Taiwan, the uncertainty across the Taiwan Straits increase at the same time. The DPP waited and saw between being the ruling party and establishing an independent country on Taiwan, finally it chose to complete the political aim of replacing the position of the KMT at present. The purpose of the study is to assess the DPP's policy-making in its Mainland China policy. I try to give a full picture of the policy-making process in the party. The most important factor in the formulation of the mainland China policy is the relationship between the factions within the DPP, therefore, I adopt the historical and document review approach on doing this study, and describe how the interaction between the factions worked and how they made the decisions on the policies? I found that the DPP will insist on its 'one Taiwan, one China' policy before becoming the ruling party in Taiwan. However, the DPP's insistence on the 'one China, one Taiwan' policy could bring conflicts across the Taiwan Straits and obstruct the possibility of replacing the ruling KMT's position. Hence the DPP tried to explain again the party's Taiwan independence platform, and to 'purify' the party’s ideology in order to achieve its present political aim. Because the cross-Straits relationship is still developing, the DPP's mainland policy would be affected by various factors across the Taiwan Straits. There is no final text of the DPP's mainland China policy at present. Therefore, I predict the future development of its China policy could tend in two ways. Firstly, if the cross-Straits exchanges increase, and Beijing reduces its hostility, the DPP's stand of 'one Taiwan, one China' will become more flexible, and it would keep on developing a more perfect China policy. Secondly, if the cross-Straits exchanges decrease, and Beijing increases the force of threatening to Taipei, the DPP's stand of 'one Taiwan, one China' policy will be more radical, even though it would not turn its back on the business affairs. At the end of this work, I suggest the DPP rethink its insistence on a Taiwanese independence position, this could not break Taiwan's isolation in international community, but could endanger Taiwan's security. As the factional fight has reduced the force of the DPP, to condense the powers of the party would be an important issue for the DPP
Nationalism of Chang Ping-lin

Part I describes how he clarified his anti-Manchu principle freeing himself from the thought of K'ang Yu-wei and others. Part II describes his doctorine at the time of the Su-pao incident and during the period when he was the Editor of the Min-pao
Simulation setup for Enthalpy of Mixing and Liquid Structure for Mixtures of Primary and Secondary Alcohols: Molecular Simulations and COSMO-SAC Calculations
No full textSource code, input files, and generic output files for molecular simulations in "Enthalpy of Mixing and Liquid Structure for Mixtures of Primary and Secondary Alcohols: Molecular Simulations and COSMO-SAC Calculations".The enthalpy of mixing provides information on the favorability of cross-interactions between two different chemical compounds, and it can be included in the training of activity coefficient models to capture the temperature dependence. Recently, Mathias highlighted that certain mixtures of primary and secondary alcohols exhibit exothermic mixing behavior, whereas mixtures of primary alcohols show the more common endothermic mixing behavior [Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2019, 58, 12465]. Here, we probe the mixing behavior of short-chain alcohols at T = 298 K and p = 1 atm through molecular simulations with the TraPPE–UA force field and molecular modeling with the COSMO-SAC activity coefficient model. Using their predictive modes (i.e., without tuning of the models), neither of these two computational approaches yields the exothermic mixing behavior for primary and secondary alcohols. To capture the exothermic mixing, we explore modifications of the TraPPE–UA force-field parameters to make the secondary CHOH group a better hydrogen-bond acceptor(through an increase of the partial charge on the oxygen atom), but also adding steric hindrance for hydrogen-bond formation between two secondary alcohols (through an increase of the Lennard-Jones diameter on the α-CH pseudoatom). Detailed analysis of the liquid structures for the neat phases and mixtures indicates that the tuned model yields slightly enhanced cross-association which results in a more significant shift from tetrameric to larger hydrogen-bonded aggregates than for the TraPPE–UA model, whereas neither model exhibits a significant change in the number of hydrogen bonds upon mixing. Thus, the simulations point to a shift from cyclic tetramers and pentamers with strained hydrogen bonds to larger, less strained aggregates as the underlying structural change for the exothermic mixing behavior of primary and secondary alcohols.National Science Foundation through the Chemical Measurement & Imaging program and the Interfacial Engineering program (Award CHE–2003246)Chang, Chun-Kai; Siepmann, J.

No full textYueh-Chun Chang lifting weights, June 29, 1993
No full textYueh-Chun Chang (b. 1970) was a competitive powerlifter from 1989 to 1998. During her powerlifting career, Chang won five national and three world championships and set five world records. In 1995, the U.S. Powerlifting Federation named her Best Lifter.
As a child, Chang participated in the SCATS program, Seattle Public School’s child acrobatic demonstration team developed by Sue and Bud Turner at Sanisli Elementary School. She was a gymnast and sprinter at Ballard High School before discovering powerlifting.
This photo shows Yueh-Chun Chang training at the Gateway Athletic Club, under owner and coach Willie Austin, who spots her here on the incline bench press. She was hoping to break her own record at the upcoming World Drug Free Powerlifting Federation (WDFPF) Championships that fall. Chang, who competed in the 111- and 114-pound weight class, had won the American Drug Free Powerlifting Federation championship that May, earning her place of the US Women’s squad for the world competition.Caption information source: “Strong Women” by Judi Hunt, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, July 15, 1993, p. 32
