Faces and Places in Fashion: Han Feng
No full textPart presentation, part Q&A, FIT's "Faces & Places in Fashion" lecture series is an opportunity to connect students and the public alike to the pulse of the fashion industry in an open and conversational setting.Chinese-born, FIT graduate Han Feng briefly describes her career in fashion design and then discusses her assignment as costume designer for Anthony Minghella's production of Madame Butterfly. Her talk is accompanied by slides of the Butterfly production
q-Differential equations for q-classical polynomials and q-Jacobi-Stirling numbers
Full text linkWe introduce, characterise and provide a combinatorial interpretation for the so-called q-Jacobi–Stirling numbers.
This study is motivated by their key role in the (reciprocal) expansion of any power of a second order
q-differential operator having the q-classical polynomials as eigenfunctions in terms of other even order operators,
which we explicitly construct in this work. The results here obtained can be viewed as the q-version of
those given by Everitt et al. and by the first author, whilst the combinatorics of this new set of numbers is a
q-version of the Jacobi–Stirling numbers given by Gelineau and the second author

High-Q bismuth silicate nonlinear glass microsphere resonators
Full text linkThe fabrication and characterization of a bismuth-silicate glass microsphere resonator has been demonstrated. At wavelengths near 1550 nm, high-modes can be efficiently excited in a 179 µm diameter bismuth-silicate glass microsphere via evanescent coupling using a tapered silica fiber with a waist diameter of circa 2 µm. Resonances with Q-factors as high as were observed. The dependence of the spectral response on variations in the input power level was studied in detail to gain an insight into power-dependent thermal resonance shifts. Because of their high nonlinearity and high- factors, bismuth-silicate glass microspheres offer the potential for robustly assembled fully integrated all-optical switching devices
Late Paleozoic compressional deformation in the Simao region, Southern Yunnan, P. R. of China
No full textBased on a reevaluation of existing data and own fieldwork a new stratigraphic calibration of the timing of the main orogenic event, which affected the Simao region in southern Yunnan, is given. In the Yunxian anticline (approximately 40 km NW of Simao) it can be demonstrated that strongly deformed Carboniferous to Lower Permian sediments, which were deposited in a deep basin, are separated by an angular unconformity from the overlying shallow marine strata of upper Middle Permian and Upper Permian age. The situation found is compared with other regions in the Simao basin and northern Thailand. As a consequence, the existence of a Triassic island are along the Lancang Jiang (Mekong) must be questioned. Therefore, the given stratigraphic data have certainly influence on future exploration strategies in this region.Basierend auf einer Reevaluation publizierter Daten und eigenen Geländearbeiten konnte eine neue stratigraphische Einstufung des wichtigsten orogenen Ereignisses, welches die Region von Simao im südlichen Yünnan formte, vorgenommen werden. In der Yunxian-Antiklinale (ca. 40 km NW von Simao) kann gezeigt werden, daß die stark deformierten Sedimente des Karbon und Unteren Perm, welche in einem relativ tiefen Becken abgelagert wurden, mit einer Winkeldiskordanz von den auflagernden Sedimenten des höheren Mittel-Perm und Ober-Perm, die in einem flachen Meeresbecken abgelagert wurden, getrennt sind. Diese Situation wird mit anderen Regionen im Simao-Becken und mit Nord-Thailand verglichen. Als Konsequenz muß die Existenz eines triassischen Inselbogen-Vulkanismus entlang des Lancang Jiang (Mekong) in Frage gestellt werden. So haben die neugewonnenen stratigraphischen Befunde sicher Einfluß auf zukünftige Explorations-Strategien in dieser Region
Mandarin Chinese-speaking learners' acquisition of Italian consonant length contrast
Full text linkThe acquisition of Italian consonant length contrast by Mandarin Chinese-speaking learners (henceforth Chinese learners) has hardly been investigated. This study aims to fill this gap. Ten first-year, ten second-year and ten third-year Chinese undergraduate students majoring in Italian and ten native Italian-speaking controls took part in a perception and a production experiment. In the perception experiment, the participants had to identify ten Italian disyllabic minimal pairs contrasting in consonant length. In the production experiment, the participants were asked to read five out of the ten minimal pairs mentioned above; the duration values of the intervocalic consonants and the preconsonantal vowels were measured and converted into duration ratios for statistical analyses. The results show that, in both perception and production, Chinese learners can distinguish between the two consonant length categories in Italian to a certain extent, but not in a native-like manner. Also, the duration interplay between Italian consonants and preconso-nantal vowels (i.e., longer vowels before singleton consonants and shorter vowels before gemi-nate consonants) is entirely ignored by Chinese learners. Moreover, Chinese learners' increased learning experience does not appear to enhance their acquisition of Italian consonant length contrast. Some pedagogical implications are discussed
