No full textCome tradurre Milo De Angelis
No full textThe section presents the Chinese translation of four poems by Milo De Angelis, who is
among the best Italian contemporary poets. The poems are taken from the collection "Incontri e agguati" (Mondadori, 201 5). The texts are both in Italian and Chinese in parallel
text. Yang Lin, with the help of Geng Jiang (Chinese musician and poet), took care of the
translation.
The section opens with a note made by the translation group that analyses the processes
of the transposition of the dense poetic language of De Angelis into the Chinese language.
There follows an enlightening letter from Milo De Angelis to the translation group. The four
poems in Chinese and Italian complete the section

Stylus large, linear, 5–16 cells long, in 1–3 seriate. Autoicous. Androecia terminal on long or short lateral branches; bracts in 3–5 pairs, imbricated, similar to the leaves; apex often incurved; bract lobule ovate, 2/3–3/4 as long as the bract lobe, inflated; antheridia borne singly. Gynoecia terminal on short lateral branches; bract lobe obovate, 0.40–0.70 mm long, 0.24–0.34 mm wide; apex obtuse; bract lobule oblong, almost as long as the bract lobe; apex rounded; keel almost as long as the bract lobule. Perianth obovate to oblong, almost immersed or emergent only up to its 1/ 5 in length, inflated, 0.56–0.64 mm long, 0.36–0.40 mm wide; apex rounded to truncate, 5 keeled, with dorsal protrusions on upper 1/3 surface. Gemmae not observed. Etymology: —The specific epithet refers to Mt. Nanhutashan, where the new species was discovered. Habitat and distribution: — Cololejeunea nanhutashanensis is an epiphyte found in altimontane forest. It grows on tree trunk of Pinus taiwanensis, in environment with filtered light and is currently known only from Mt. Nanhutashan, Taichung, Taiwan.Published as part of Yang, Jia-Dong & Lin, Shan-Hsiung, 2014, Cololejeunea nanhutashanensis (Lejeuneaceae), a new species from Taiwan, pp. 56-60 in Phytotaxa 177 (1) on pages 56-58, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.177.1.5, http://zenodo.org/record/514453

A K-means Clustering and Triangulation-Based Scheme for Accurate Detection of Multiple Adjacent Through-the-Wall Human Targets
No full textThrough-the-wall (TTW) human targets' detection is extensively desired in civil and military applications. Most studies in this field have only focused on multiple human targets with large spacing, while the situation of short spacing has yet to be well-treated. To solve this problem, an accurate and robust postprocessing scheme is developed in this article for detecting multiple adjacent TTW human targets. First, we identify human targets in the range slow-time planes with a high detection rate. Second, according to the comparing result between different operating planes, two localization solutions based on K-means clustering and triangulation are proposed to extract the precise spatial positions of human targets. Third, using the designed radar system, the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified by two typical simulations and three field experiments. The results indicate that the proposed scheme can accurately detect multiple TTW human targets under conditions including large, short spacing, and different orientations with a localization accuracy of 20 cm

THE INCIDENCE AND WAGE EFFECTS OF OVEREDUCATION: THE CASE OF TAIWAN
Full text linkThis paper, based on data from Survey of Family Income and Expenditure of Taiwan, shows that the recent trends of job match in Taiwan labor market have been marked by increasing proportion of overeducated workers due to the higher education expansion policy, while the incidence of undereducation continues to decline. Furthermore, workers¡¯ economic position is not completely determined by their educational levels. Working experience also plays an important role in workers¡¯ job placement and their wages. Workers with relatively less working experience are more likely to be overeducated, while workers with relatively more working experience are more likely to be undereducated. Overeducated (Undereducated) workers would earn more (less) than their co-workers with adequate education but less (more) than the workers having the same educational level with adequate education for jobs. However, the rewards (penalties) to adequate education and overeducation (undereducation) decline as more experience accumulated. Evidence also shows effect of bumping down from overeducation on the wages and employment of lower educated workers.Overeducation, Wage, Bumping Down, Labor Market, Taiwan
Does Downloading PowerPoint Slides Before the Lecture Lead to Better Student Achievement?: Reply
Full text linkThis reply responds to a comment by Cannon (2011) that opens the debate on consistency of the effect of downloading PowerPoint slides before lectures on students’ exam performance. Cannon (2011) points out potential endogeneity problems in Chen and Lin (2008) and attempts to explore the unconditional mean effect of downloading PowerPoint slides for the full sample. In this reply, we firstly argue that the estimates in our original article are consistent since the effect of interest is the “conditional†treatment effect but not the unconditional mean effect. We provide explanations for our rationale of estimating the “conditional†treatment effect. Secondly, we propose a modified downloading variable to replicate Cannon’s analysis. Our results suggest that downloading PowerPoint slides before the exam does not produce a significant effect on absent students’ exam performance which is different from the results in Cannon (2011). Our analysis does support Cannon’s argument that students fixed effects are different across different attendance status.
