Oral History Interview with David Hung-Chang Du
No full textThis interview was conducted by CBI for CS&E in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of the University of Minnesota Computer Science Department (now Computer Science and Engineering, CS&E). Professor David Hung-Chang Du begins by discussing his education at National Tsing-Hua University in Taiwan and then his doctoral work and Computer Center work at the University of Washington in Computer Science. The bulk of the interview is his professional career at the University of Minnesota. He discusses his wide-ranging computer science research in integrated circuits (VLSI), disk drives/storage, artificial intelligence, computer networking, security and privacy, and other areas. This includes his work with IBM Rochester, Seagate, Unisys and other companies, and he emphasizes the importance of working with more senior managers at companies so university and company interests can be aligned and can have local buy-in at the company, that resources will come if that there. He relates his leadership with the UMN-led Center for Research and Intelligent Storage: a multi-university partnership with industry supported by National Science Foundation.Du, David Hung-Chang.

Li Hung-Chang
No full textAlicia Little (1845–1926) was a prolific writer who moved to China after her marriage to missionary Archibald Little (1838–1907) in 1866. She published many accounts of Chinese culture and society before founding the successful campaign against foot-binding in 1895. This volume, first published in 1903, contains her biography of the eminent Chinese statesman Li Hung–Chang (1823–1901). Li was a towering figure in late nineteenth century Chinese political life, exerting a profound influence over Chinese foreign policy and relations and overseeing China's development of western style industrialism until his dramatic fall from power following China's defeat in the 1894 Sino-Japanese War. Using contemporary newspaper accounts, eyewitness descriptions, and interviews with his contemporaries, Little describes Li's life chronologically, describing his rise to prominence following the Taiping Rebellion in 1851. This volume was the first extensive account of Li's life to be published in English.</jats:p

Challenges and opportunities for Geography Education beyond the 21st century: the importance of speaking about climate change inspired by Chew-Hung Chang
No full textIn the spring of 2018, Prof. Chew-Hung Chang (President of the Southeast Asian Geography Association and Co-Chair of the International Geographic Union – IGU – Commission on Geography Education)1 spent time at the Sapienza University of Rome to discuss research and didactical perspectives with the colleagues of Geography from the Department of Letters and Modern Cultures. During his visit at the University, Prof. Chew-Hung Chang noticed the panel placed inside the atrium of the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy, which represents Article 3 of the Italian Constitution that says: “All citizens have equal social dignity and are equal before the law, without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinion, personal and social conditions”
Sustainable management of insect-borne fungal plant diseases: A case study in Canada
No full textVerticillium wilt of alfalfa, caused by Verticillium albo-atrum, is used as an example for discussion of insect transmission of fungal plant pathogens and management of insect-borne diseases. The disease is important in Europe, North America and northern Japan and it affects the tame hay production and other alfalfa-related industries, including the dehydrated alfalfa industry, the pedigreed seed and leafcutter bee industries and the livestock industry. Studies in Canada reveal that V albo-atrum can be spread by insect, pests, predators and pollinators, as well as by alfalfa pollen. Some insects such as pea aphid, alfalfa weevil, grasshopper and leafcutter bee are effective vectors for the disease. Breeding for disease resistance is thus far the most effective means for control of verticillium wilt of alfalfa. Three alfalfa cultivars, Barrier, AC Blue J and AC Longview with high levels of resistance to verticillium wilt and bacterial wilt and adapted to the Canadian prairies, have been released from the breeding program at the Lethbridge Research Centre, Alberta, Canada. These disease resistant cultivars have increased forage yield, improved hay quality by reducing weed infestations, and prolonged stand life of alfalfa. Since verticillium wilt is an insect-borne disease, effective management of insect vectors should be part of the strategy for the control of this disease. Research on control of plant diseases by insect management remains a fertile ground and thus, demands the attention of plant pathologists, entomologists and plant breeders.

Cui Malo? Cui Bono? Reflections on Epistemology:The Case of The Memoirs of Li Hung Chang as a Literary Forgery
No full textThis paper is concerned with the intersection between ideological influence, epistemology, and Orientalism. In 1913, an American named William Francis Mannix claimed to have edited a memoir based on the diary of the famous Chinese statesman, Li Hongzhang. The Memoirs of Li Hung Chang was a success in America and Britain, with expert sinologists praising its contributions. When the memoir was exposed as a forgery, some readers struggled to explain its success by the perceived verisimilitude of the work. By taking a closer look at Mannix's book, this paper considers the concept of truth, knowledge construction and dissemination, as well as the role of cultural and ideological presuppositions that shape our understandings
Li Hung-chang 李鴻章’s Policy toward Military Expenses in the Late Taiping Rebellion Preriod
Get PDFIn March of 1862 Li Hung-chang arrived in Shanghai, and soon afterwards assumed the post of Kiangsu Governor (江蘇巡撫), carrying out personnel changes and bringing the finances of Kiangsu province under his control. He put the collection of li-chüan 釐捐 and other subscriptions toward military expenses which were under the jurisdictions of the Governor and Governor-general on a firmer footing, and undertook various measures to decrease the amount of rice and sliver that had to be sent to Peking and other districts.This paper examines Li Hung-chang’s policy toward military revenue and expenditure, a part of his local financial policy in Kiangsu from the following two aspects.The first noteworthy point is the shift in the control of finance and other matters from the central government to regional government in this period. The setting up of the li-kin 釐金 offices (局) and barriers (卡) were controlled by the Governor and Governor-general. A great part of the revenue depended on li-chüan and other subscriptions gained through these agencies. The Board of Revenue (戸部) depended on reports from each province for its information on the actual financial conditions there, and the administration of personnel in these agencies were under the control of the Governor and Governor-general. Furthermore the system of account reports from the provinces to the central government (奏銷) was simplified to facilitate the manipulation of financial matters by the provincial government. Therefore, it functioned as a means for the Governor and Governor-general to obtain funds as they needed them. These changes caused the central financial system to break down substantially and served to strengthen relatively the powers of the Governor and Governor-general vis-à-vis central government.The second point is that Li Hung-chang, in the course of fortifying his power in Kiangsu, drew the Suchou 蘇州 gentry (紳士) onto his side and took advantage of them for the purpose of obtaining military supplies. The Suchou gentry participated in decision making on financial and other policies and thereby came to exercise some influence on government administration, however, this signified something quite different from Feng Kui-fen 馮桂芬’s idea of the gentry strata as the core of local government organization. The gentry acquired power only through the good offices of Li Hung-chang, who had an ulterior motive, and not because of their own inherent strength. It indicated only the reinforcing of their power through the medium of Li Hung-chang.Hence, the enlargement of Li Hung-chang’s power in Kiangsu, along with that of Governor and Governor-general’s power vis-à-vis the central government due to the breakdown of the central financial system, resulted in Li Hung-chang strengthening his power base as a local official.'journal articl
