The political role of the people's liberation army 1949-1973
Full text linkThis thesis is to study the political role of the People's Liberation Army from the approach of structure and function. The framework of the thesis consists of three major parts, first, the influence of Chinese traditional political culture on, and the formation of, the political role of the PL A; second, the influence of domestic political struggles and external military conflicts on the development of the political role of the PLA; and the third, the analysis of the transition of the PLA's political role from the structure and personnel arrangements of the CCPCC Within the above-mentioned three scopes, this thesis make a thorough discussion on the following: (1) The relationship between the structure of the PRC and the formation of the PLA's political role; (2) How has ideology influenced the army's political role; (3) What is Mao's viewpoint and his influence on the development of the army's political role; (4) What is the link between the army and the party, and how has this developed; (6) What accounts for the expansion of the PLA's political functions; (7) What is the influence of political factional struggles on the PLA's political role; (8) Is it political institution or military institution that controls the recruitment of the military elite; (9) What are the disparities between the military elite in handling international conflicts and what are their political considerations; (10) What is the Party's position in the army; (11) How have the Party’s important meetings and personnel arrangements influenced the rise and fall of the PLA's political role
Mechanisms for Torrential Rain Associated with the Mei-Yu Development during SCSMEX 1998
No full textA case of torrential precipitation associated with the mei-yu front, an Asian summer monsoon system east of the Tibetan Plateau, is studied using the coupled fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) & the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Parameterization for Land–Atmosphere–Cloud Exchange model. The impact of both remote & local sources of water vapor on the location & intensity of mei-yu precipitation are studied by numerical experiments. The results demonstrate that the main source of water vapor for this heavy precipitation event over the Yangtze River Valley is the Bay of Bengal. Moisture is transported by a southwesterly low-level jet (LLJ) southeast of the Tibetan Plateau. Although the LLJ is largely manipulated by large-scale forcing, the mesoscale circulation that results from mei-yu condensational heating acts to increase
the maximum wind speed of the jet. The condensation-induced local circulation strengthens the moisture transport in the LLJ, providing a positive feedback that sustains the mei-yu precipitation system. Precipitation recycling increases the total precipitation in the Yangtze River Valley only slightly, but it tends to shift the maximum rainfall center toward the warmer side of the mei-yu rain belt. This shift is due to the pronounced increase in atmospheric moisture & decrease in surface temperature over the warm side of the rain belt
Admissibility and consistency for multiple comparison problems with dependent variables
No full textIn response to the need of dealing with high dimensional data, new multiple testing procedures (MTPs) based on p-values were developed to improve average power while controlling error rates at the same time. Although MTPs are well accepted and practiced in many disciplines, little attention has been put on a decision theory approach to evaluate MTPs. In a series of papers, Cohen and Sackrowitz (2005a,2005b,2007,2008} laid out the foundation to assess MTPs by studying both type I and type II errors. Here we extend that work and focus on some properties, such as admissibility, p-value monotonicity and consistency, to assess frequently used and new MTPs. Applications include all-pairwise comparisons in anova models and change point problems. In addition, the development of admissible procedures for a matrix order problem is presented.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Kuo-mei Che

No full textA comparative study of the sounds of Kuo-Yu and Taiwanese
Full text linkThis study was made to explore the pronunciation rules between Taiwanese and Kuo-yu, which are the two major languages used in Taiwan today, by comparing selected features of their phonological systems. The purpose was to provide the future researchers and Taiwanese learners more information on sounds, which will be helpful in the maintenance and future development of the Taiwanese language.
In the introduction, there is a brief description of the background and formation of Taiwanese and Kuo-yu. In chapter two, the syllable structure and phonetic systems of Taiwanese and Kuo-yu are introduced. The following three chapters are about the three basic parts of every Kuo-yu and Taiwanese words: the tone, the onset and the rhyme. The theory used in this study is generative phonology. The data are basically from the library documents and the personal knowledge of the author on these two languages.
The deficiency of the collected information on printed documents sets limitations on this research. The rules of tone change also need further discussion. This comparative study covers the basic rules of the sounds of Kuo-yu and Taiwanese, which may help to define the relationship between these two languages
