A Review on Liao’s Dissertation Entitled “The Solutions on Multi-choice Games” and Related Publications
Full text linkIn 2007, Liao finished his Ph.d. dissertation[18](Liao 2007) entitled “The Solutions on Multi-choice Games”. Chapter 1 of the dissertation mainly worked on two special cases of the H&R multi-choice Shapley value. One assumes that the weight function w(j) is a positive constant function for all j 6= 0 with w(0) = 0 and the other one assumes that the weight function w(j) = j for all j. If w(j) ’s are equal for all j > 0 then the formula of H&R multi-choice Shapley value can be significantly simplified to the original formula of the traditional Shapley value for the traditional games. Therefore, as a matter of fact, Definitions 1 and 2 in Chapter 1 of the dissertation [18] are simply the traditional Shapley value. Hence, in most part of Chapter 1, Liao was just writing “new results” of traditional games in terms of the notations of multi-choice games. Furthermore, the dissertation [18] did not cited [7](1994), [8](1995a) and [10](1996) which held the original ideas of its main part of chapter 1.Multi-choice TU games, Shapley value, potential, w-consistency
[[alternative]]The Folklore Subjects in Liao, Shiou-Ping's "Gate" Series
No full text[[abstract]]Being the introducer of modern-day printmaking techniques to Taiwan, Shiou-Ping Liao (1936-) has been praised as "Father of Prints in Taiwan". However, besides his highly commended contribution to the popularization of printmaking in Taiwan, Liao's special painting style is also worth further investigation and research. This thesis will focus on the "Gate" series (1966-72) on which Liao first established his unique personal artistic style. The author also tried to decipher the meanings of those folk icons used in this series and the implied meanings of using those folk subjects.
To understand how Liao created the "Gate" series and what folk subjects mean to the "Gate" series and the time, we should first understand the time when Liao started his painting career. Chapter 1 will first introduce the situation of the post-war Taiwanese artistic circles during the 1950's and 60's, and also the first half of the 60's of Japanese art circles. How the "Gate" series was created by Liao when he stayed in Paris (1965-68) is explained in Chapter 2. As for the folk art subjects, which are the most important part of the series and the sources of its geometric styles, were investigated in Chapter 3 and 4. The folk subjects in the series include: door god, paper money, Chinese decorative patterns, new year couplets and the colors used in traditional architectural paintings in Taiwan. Chapter 3 will first discuss where did these folk subjects come from, what did they mean, what are their traditional shapes, and when were they used. Then we analyze which characteristics were used in the series and what were derived or respond to their traditional meanings. Chapter 4 points out the close relation between traditional folk art styles and the abstract geometric style of the "Gate" series. Besides, it makes further explanation about the distinct difference between the "Gate" series' geometric abstraction and the 1960's Post Painterly Abstraction in America.
The conclusive Chapter 5 investigates the background of the "Gate" series to understand the inheritance of the Taiwan folk subjects in this series from the "Local Color" idea in the Japan ruling times. Furthermore, the trend of modernization of Taiwan fine arts in 60's also influences the using of folk subjects in "Gate" series. The performance and importance of the "Gate" series is thus concluded.
Effect of thermally aged oil on space charge dynamics in oil/paper insulation system
No full textThe formation of space charge in oil/paper insulation system can lead to material degradation in the high electrical field region and affect system reliability. Therefore, it is important to understand factors that affect space charge formation in oil/paper insulation system. In the present study the effect of thermally aged oil on space charge dynamics in oil/paper insulation system has been investigated using the pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) technique under different dc electrical fields at room temperature. The condition of oil was characterised. The ultraviolet/visible (UV/Vis) spectrum of oil shifts to visible wavelength and the oil acidity increased as the ageing time increased. It has been found that oil property has a significant effect on the space charge distribution of oil/paper insulation system. The more the deterioration of the oil and the higher the applied voltage, the larger the amount of negative charge injected into the paper near to the cathode and the positive charge accumulated at the paperpaper interface near to the cathode. The maximum electric field strength for oil/paper sample with seriously aged oil under 4kV and 6kV is more than 20% higher than its average electric field strength

Measurement of the ratio of prompt χ c to J / ψ production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
Full text linkThe prompt production of charmonium χ c and J / ψ states is studied in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The χ c and J / ψ mesons are identified through their decays χ c → J / ψ γ and J / ψ → μ + μ - using 36 pb - 1 of data collected by the LHCb detector in 2010. The ratio of the prompt production cross-sections for χ c and J / ψ, σ (χ c → J / ψ γ) / σ (J / ψ), is determined as a function of the J / ψ transverse momentum in the range 2 < p T J / ψ < 15 GeV / c. The results are in excellent agreement with next-to-leading order non-relativistic expectations and show a significant discrepancy compared with the colour singlet model prediction at leading order, especially in the low p T J / ψ region
