    AbstractFor the eigenvalue problem of H. L. Kuo [J. Met.6 (1949), 105-122] governing the linear stability of a parallel zonal flow of an inviscid, incompressible fluid on a β-plane, it is shown that the wave velocity of neutral modes is bounded. Moreover, Pedlosky′s semicircle region for the range of the complex wave velocity of an arbitrary unstable mode is further reduced

    Drawing from Grotowski and Beyond: Kuo Pao Kun’s Discourse on Audiences in Singapore in the 1980s

    Much has been researched on Kuo Pao Kun’s multilingualism and multiculturalism. However, as one of one of the most important Asian dramatists, the analysis of Kuo’s discourse on audiences remains largely unexplored. There is a pressing need to understand the ways which theatre practitioners imagine audiences as it points to issues of subjectivity, audience participation and social engagement, especially in a neoliberal society like Singapore where people are often positioned as docile economic subjects. Among the many Asian and Western dramatists Kuo drew inspiration from, Jerzy Grotowski was pivotal. This essay seeks to address this gap by examining how the latter’s ideas was crucial to understanding how Kuo envisioned theatre and audiences alongside his artistic practice

    [[abstract]]A search of neutrino magnetic moment was carried out at the Kuo-Sheng Nuclear Power Station at a distance of 28 m from the 2.9 GW reactor core. With a high purity germanium detector of mass 1.06 kg surrounded by scintillating NaI(T1) and CsI(T1) crystals as anti-Compton detectors, a detection threshold of 5 keV and a background level of 1 kg-1 keV-1day-1at 12-60 keV were achieved. Based on 4712 and 1250 h of reactor ON and OFF data, respectively, the limit on the neutrino magnetic moment of μve 2.8 X 1018 eV3 s can be inferred.[[fileno]]2010115010013[[department]]物理
