DIETARY CONDITIONS AND DIFFERENTIAL ACCESS TO FOOD RESOURCES AMONG THE VARIOUS CLASSES DURING THE HAN PERIOD
Full text linkIn this thesis, I study how food resources and dietary conditions were determined by social and economic status during the Han period in China, B.C. 206~A.D.220. Even though earlier scholars have published research concerning the Chinese food culture of this period, these studies were limited in that they only illustrated the dietary culture of the upper class or the available food resources in one geographic area. Also, without any persuasive data, it has been assumed by these earlier scholars that there were big differences in food resources and food consumption between the upper and lower classes. In this thesis, for comparison among the classes, I divide the social and economic classes into five stratified groups: nobles, officials, peasants, soldiers and convicts. After a brief introduction of the nature of each social class, I examine the food resources and nutritional condition of each group using information such as the wealth and income of each group, the market price of food resources, the agricultural products of peasants, and the amount of food distribution to soldiers and convicts. I found these data from archaeological remains, received historical records and pictorial data, and excavated texts. This research shows a broader view of Chinese dietary condition focusing not only on the variety of food resources of nobles, but also on the different food accessibilities among the officials, and the food deficiencies of peasants. It also deals with the situations of food supply for soldiers and convicts in an effort to reveal the true dietary consumption and nutritional conditions for all Chinese. This research proves that the various classes during the Han period in China had different food resources and dietary conditions

Chinese literary works translated into Baba Malay: a bibliographical study
Full text linkAnalyses 68 unique titles of Baba translated works published between 1889 and 1950. The titles are held in the libraries of the University of Malaya (UM), Science University Malaysia (USM), National University of Malaysia (UKM), the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP), National University of Singapore (NUS), National Library of Singapore (NLS) and the British Library (BL). The results reveal three periods of active publication of Baba translated works. A total of 18 works were translated before World War I, followed by 10 just after the war, 39 titles were published before the break of the World War II and 1 was identified in 1950. There were 103 persons involved in the 68 translated works, some of whom are responsible for more than one title. The most prominent translators were Chan Kim Boon, Wan Boon Seng, Seow Chin San and Lee Seng Poh. Some of the translators were also be editors, illustrators or editors. There were 31 publishers and 21 printing presses involved, all were located in Singapore. The most active publishers were Wan Boon Seng, Kim Seck Chy Press and Nanyang Romanised Malay Book Co. The translated works mainly cover historical classical Chinese stories, chivalrous stories, romances, folklore and legends. The titles were priced between 10 cents to 2 dollars in Straits currency. The University of Malaya Library held the largest number of unique title (62) out of which 15 were unique titles
Reconstruction of dynamic 3D scene based on visual hull and view morphing
No full textIn this paper, we propose a new method that processes multiple synchronized video sequences and generates 3D rendering of dynamic objects in the video. It exploits an efficient image-based reconstruction scheme that constructs and shades 3D models of objects from silhouette images by combining image-based visual hull and view morphing. The proposed hybrid method improves the speed and the quality of the previous visual hull sampling methods. We designed and implemented a system based on this method which is relatively low cost and does not require any special hardware or specific environment. Copyright (C) 2003 John Wiley Sons, Ltd
Synchronization by Modified Broadcast Gossip Algorithm in Multi-Agent System
No full textThis paper proposes a modified broadcast gossip algorithm that reaches synchronization of multi-agent systems. The broadcast gossip algorithm is used to reach a consensus on the scalar value of each agent in a static environment. This algorithm is suitable for the wireless multi agent system because it can reach a consensus by uniformly random broadcasting communication. In this paper, we modified the broadcast gossip algorithm to synchronize each system in a discrete time dynamic multi-agent system. The proposed algorithm reduces usage of network resources, and it has a robust property against topology change. In the simple case, we prove that this algorithm almost surely reaches a consensus on a dynamic system, and the expectation of consensus is the dynamics of average initial state. Simulation results show that the algorithm works in an oscillated system and that it can be applied to decentralized and topology-changed environment. © 2018 The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers - SICE.1
