THE WEI-JIN SPIRIT AS EXHIBITED BY WOMEN IN THE SHISHUO XINYU 世說新語 IN THE PRIVATE FAMILY SPACE
No full text111 pagesCompared with other Chinese dynasties, the Wei-Jin period witnesses the emergence of a distinctive social fashion referred to by the academic field as the Wei-Jin spirit. Previous scholarly studies about the Wei-Jin spirit tend to neglect women, pay significant attention to elite men, and take political and public interactions as their primary research areas. This thesis instead focuses on the Wei-Jin spirit as exhibited by women in the Shishuo xinyu in the private family space, thus making up for the deficiency of previous research on the Wei-Jin spirit. Taking the Shishuo xinyu as its key primary source, this thesis analyzes anecdotes about certain women in the Shishuo xinyu under the framework of Confucian rituals and ethics and compares those women with contemporary men. The introduction of the thesis introduces the historical value of the Shishuo xinyu, discusses the origin and development of the term “the Wei-Jin spirit,” and distills and summarizes the major features of the Wei-Jin spirit. Based on the above work, the main body of the thesis then elaborates on Wei-Jin women’s manifestations of the Wei-Jin spirit, including their resistance to or contempt for Confucian rituals and ethics, their courage to maintain personal interests, their genuine and unrestrained behaviors, their pursuit of personal charisma, their elegant and self-confident manner, et cetera, thus presenting to the reader the Wei-Jin spirit as exhibited by women in the private family space and extending the scope of representative figures of the Wei-Jin spirit. This thesis helps the academic field achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the concept of the Wei-Jin spirit and get a better grasp of the social milieu reflected by the Wei-Jin spirit
A Study of the Classical Landscape at the Wang River Villa of Wang Wei
No full textThe landscape of Wang Wei's Wang River Villa is examined by reviewing the essays and papers written about the poetical collaboration, the “Wang River Collection.” The purpose of this paper is to clarify the meaning of villa architecture in China. The author expects that this research will contribute to a mutual understanding between cultures. The villa was a Utopia for Wang. On the other hand, he was a pious Buddhist and Buddhistic concepts are reflected in the landscape. I consider the features of the classical landscape of Xie Lingyun and "Chu Ci," as written in “The Collection,” a reflection of the Buddhistic concept. When considering what the classics meant to Wang Wei, it is apparent that his villa is a representation of the classical landscape. It is not an imitation of the classical landscape, but a unique and original creation of art by Wang.departmental bulletin pape

Downlink Space–Time Spreading Using Interference Rejection Codes
No full textIn this paper, the authors will investigate the performance of a loosely synchronized (LS) code-based space–time spreading (STS) scheme in comparison to that of classic Walsh code and pseudonoise code-based STS when communicating over dispersive Nakagami-m multipath channels. Closed-form formulas are derived for characterizing the bit-error-rate performance as a function of the number of resolvable paths L and the number of users K. Our numerical results suggest that the employment of LS code-based STS scheme is beneficial in a low-user-load and low-dispersion channel scenario, where a near-single-user performance can be achieved without a multiuser detector. Index Terms—Code-division multiple access (CDMA), Gaussian approximation, interference-free window (IFW), large area synchronized (LAS) codes, loosely synchronized (LS) codes, Nakagami-m fading
Notes on the Peerage of the Ts'ao-Wei Dynasty
No full textWith a view to clarifying a few interesting points on the peerage system of the Wei of the Three Dynasties period, firstly the author takes up the process of formation of the Ts'ao-Wei peerage, where it consisted of the five-grade peerage of the Chou period, the lieh-hou 列侯 and khuan-nei-hou 關内侯 titles after the Ch'in-Han system, and the peerage created by Wei itself. Secondly, the author discusses the size of the lieh-hou and khuan-nei-hou fiefs in terms of household and their inner structure. Lastly, the author points out that heir apparency was widened under the Wei, though the "inheritance by real son" principle of the Han period was still in practice. In view of the fact that fiefs were sometimes divided even in the life-time of lord the author relates the Wei peerage to its noble lineage system
Post genome-wide gene-environment interaction study: The effect of genetically driven insulin resistance on breast cancer risk using Mendelian randomization.
No full textPurposeThe role of insulin resistance (IR) in developing postmenopausal breast cancer has not been thoroughly resolved and may be confounded by lifestyle factors such as obesity. We examined whether genetically determined IR is causally associated with breast cancer risk.MethodsWe conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses using individual-level data from our previous meta-analysis of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) (n = 11,109 non-Hispanic white postmenopausal women). Four single-nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with fasting glucose (FG), 2 with fasting insulin (FI), and 6 with homeostatic model assessment-IR (HOMA-IR) but were not associated with obesity. We used this GWAS to employ hazard ratios (HRs) for breast cancer risk by adjusting for potential confounding factors.ResultsNo direct association was observed between comprising 12 IR genetic instruments and breast cancer risk (HR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.76-1.14). In phenotype-specific analysis, genetically elevated FG was associated with reduced risk for breast cancer (main contributor of this MR-effect estimate: G6PC2 rs13431652; HR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.35-0.99). Genetically driven FI and HOMA-IR were not significantly associated. Stratification analyses by body mass index, exercise, and dietary fat intake with combined phenotypes showed that genetically elevated IR was associated with greater breast cancer risk in overall obesity and inactive subgroups (single contributor: MTRR/LOC729506 rs13188458; HR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.03-4.75).ConclusionsWe found complex evidence for causal association between IR and risk of breast cancer, which may support the potential value of intervention trials to lower IR and reduce breast cancer risk
Using Google Analytics for improving library website content and design: a case study
No full textGoogle Analytics is a free web analytics solution that provides webmasters with insightful information about how visitors find and interact with their websites. In this case study, we have experimented in using Google Analytics to analyze two of our websites: The Rutgers-Newark Law Library main website and The New Jersey Digital Legal Library website. It was used to monitor our visitors' browsing activities and viewing behaviors for three months. Based on our findings from Google Analytics reports, we have redesigned our website. Subsequent data collected by Google Analytics have confirmed that our new design better fits the information needs of our visitors and librarians. Google Analytics is very powerful and can be used for almost any website. We believe that other libraries will benefit from using Google Analytics as well. Limitations of Google Analytics are also discussed based on our experience with it.The published version of this article is available at: http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~mbolin/lpp2007.htm"June, 2007

No full textAgony Klub and Publication Studio Vancouver are pleased to present Whitney Houston, vol. 2. A continuation of Whitney Houston, et. al., editor/author Casey Wei invites six writers to reflect on their relationship to popular music in film, keeping in mind that popular music has always been as much about the desire for an image as about the catchiness of a song. The resulting essays on Elliot Smith, Amélie, Real Genius, The Pixies, Drive, and The Conversation explore themes of time, love, and evolution.final article publishedReal Genius (1985
