Emperor Yung-chêｎg and "Ta-i Chüeh-mi Lu"(大義覺迷錄)
Get PDFThe Ta-i Chueh-mi Lu was published by Emperor Yung-cheng, who became much concerned with the Tseng Ching (曽静) affair. The Tseng Ching affair was motivated by the thought of Lu Liu-liang (呂留良) on the "difference between the Chinese and the Barbarians" and "Kingly Goverment." What was Lu Liu-liang's thought? How Tseng Ching became influenced by his thought? The Tseng China affair was also due to the rivalries between the cliques within the Ch'ing court. What was Emperor Yung-cheng's attitude toward the rivalries? The author tries to show that the Ta-i Chueh-mi Lu, which was written for the sake of guiding the people's thought, was at the same time intended to give Yung-cheng's view on these rivalries

Comparison of Beamforming Techniques for W-CDMA Communication Systems
No full textIn this paper, different beamforming techniques are employed in the wide-band code-division multiple-access base station, & their uplink & downlink signal-to-(interference plus noise) ratio (SINR) performances are compared. It is found that the direction of arrival (DOA) method & the complex conjugate method almost have the same uplink SINR performance, but the complex conjugate method will shift the downlink main beam direction slightly due to the difference between the uplink & downlink carrier frequency. However, the degradation in the downlink mean SINR performance is less than 1 dB compared with that obtained by the DOA method. In the downlink, the SINR performances obtained by the single-beam method & multiple-beam beamforming technique are compared. It was found that the single-beam method has a poorer SINR performance in the low SINR region because it is more likely to suffer from deep fading. In the moderate or high SINR region, the single-beam method has a much better SINR performance because it has a higher gain in the main path direction & a smaller angular coverage of the mainlobe, which will result in a stronger signal level & smaller multiple-access interference at the mobile receiver
Short Interests in Real Estate Investment Trusts
Get PDFWe examine short interests in equity real estate investment trusts (REITs) between 1994 and 2001. Our results show that only high levels (the 90th percentile) of short interest are associated with significant negative REIT returns as the bearish content of short interest may have been mitigated by the favorable risk characteristics of real estate securities. In addition, the significant negative relationship between short interest and REIT returns applies only to REITs with poor performance. The result implies that the bearish sentiment of short interest could also be mitigated by good REIT managers in a real estate market that is informationally inefficient. The results of a logistic regression model further show that the short selling of REIT shares can be explained by firm-specific factors such as operating efficiency, fundamental value, and liquidity. Given that short interest is not indiscriminately associated with negative REIT returns and that the short positions are firm-specific, the results are consistent with implications that short interests in REITs represent attempts to make short-term profits rather than general bearishness regarding real estate investments.short interest, real estate investment trusts (REITs)

Stedina ta' Vassalli : studju kritiku u komparattiv
Get PDFXi snin wara li reġa' lura Malta mill-eżilju, Vassalli b'xorti tajba kien iltaqa' ma' John Hookham Frere. Fl-1823 jidher li Frere kien introduċieh maċ-Church Missionmy Society, għaqda Anglikana, u fl-1825 daħhlujgħallem il-Malti fl-Università għax kien japprezza l-ħila akkademika tiegħu. Il-kollaborazzjoni maċ-CMS lil Vassalli aktarx swietlu biex jaġġorna l-istudji tiegħu. Mhux l-ewwel darba li mill-istamperija taċ-CMS kienu joħorġu kotba akkademiċi marbutin ma' l-ilsien Għarbi u wieħed jistenna li Vassalli kellu aċċess għal dawn il-kotba. Ngħidu aħna, fis-27 ta' Jannar ta' l-1827 ir-Rev. William Jowett, li kien imexxi din l-istamperija, kellu l-permess tal-Gvernatur biex jistampa siltiet mill-Grammaire arabe u mill-Chrestomathie arabe ta' Silvestre De Sacy. Jowett kellu jistampa l-kopji bit-Taljan, bil-Grieg u bl-Għarbi u kien marbut li jxerridhom barra minn Malta.peer-reviewe
