A Newly Commissioned Work for Cello, A Recording and Performance Practice Guide by Yu-Ting Tseng
No full textabstract: The introduction of a new instrumental piece—specifically Taiwanese—into the cello repertoire is as exciting as it is important. Currently, the majority of works for cello and piano include predominantly Western compositions that is repeatedly taught and performed. Reflections, by Taiwanese composer Ming-Hsiu Yen (Ms. Yen) is a response to this saturation. It is a piece that is both demanding for the performers and entertaining for the audience. Brilliantly written by a composer who has intimate familiarity with both the cello and piano, it is highly suitable for scholarly study and performance.
This document details ensemble issues, interpretative suggestions for both cellist and pianist, and general concepts about the music. The composer further adds to these concepts and suggestions.
Reflections is a programmatic work comprised of four movements, each with a descriptive title: “Gear,” “Tears of the Angel,” “Spintop,” and “Transformation.” Because the composer’s intentions were driven by pictorial ideas and not by a formal harmonic structure, this paper concentrates on ensemble issues and interpretation less than harmonic analysis.
Secondly, the project includes the premiere recording of Reflections, as performer by Yu-Ting Tseng, cellist, and Dr. Jeremy Peterman, pianist. This audio documentation provides other cellists and pianists the opportunity of hearing the piece as originally conceived by the composer, as an aid to their own future preparation of this work. This recording, combined with the interpretative analysis, will assist in bringing Reflections into the cello repertoire and public eye.Dissertation/ThesisReflections Recording Movement I GearReflections Recording Movement II Tears of the AngelReflections Recording Movement III SpintopReflections Recording Movement IV TransformationDoctoral Dissertation Music 201

Trading Throughput for Freshness: Freshness-aware Traffic Engineering and In-Network Freshness Control
No full textWith the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), applications are becoming increasingly dependent on networks to not only transmit content at high throughput but also deliver it when it is fresh, i.e., synchronized between source and destination. Existing studies have proposed the metric age of information (AoI) to quantify freshness and have system designs that achieve low AoI. However, despite active research in this area, existing results are not applicable to general wired networks for two reasons. First, they focus on wireless settings, where AoI is mostly affected by interference and collision, while queueing issues are more prevalent in wired settings. Second, traditional high-throughput/low-latency legacy drop-adverse (LDA) flows are not taken into account in most system designs; hence, the problem of scheduling mixed flows with distinct performance objectives is not addressed. In this article, we propose a hierarchical system design to treat wired networks shared by mixed flow traffic, specifically LDA and AoI flows, and study the characteristics of achieving a good tradeoff between throughput and AoI. Our approach to the problem consists of two layers: freshness-aware traffic engineering (FATE) and in-network freshness control (IFC). The centralized FATE solution studies the characteristics of the source flow to derive the sending rate/update frequency for flows via the optimization problem LDA-AoI Coscheduling. The parameters specified by FATE are then distributed to IFC, which is implemented at each outport of the network's nodes and used for efficient scheduling between LDA and AoI flows. We present a Linux implementation of IFC and demonstrate the effectiveness of FATE/IFC through extensive emulations. Our results show that it is possible to trade a little throughput (5% lower) for much shorter AoI (49% to 71% shorter) compared to state-of-the-art traffic engineering.

Cryptanalysis of Tseng-Wu Group Key Exchange Protocol
No full textAbstract Recently, Tseng and Wu pointed out that the second protocol of Biswas's two-party keys scheme based on the Diffie-Hellman technique has a security weakness and proposed a new protocol to remedy the weakness. In this article, we point out that Tseng-Wu's protocol is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack. An attacker could intercept, delete, or modify the communicated messages between two communicating party or among the group members
Open data business models and financial stability in open innovation environments
No full textBusinesses increasingly rely on data to enhance operations, drive innovation, and create new products and services. Data has become a critical organizational asset, and the Open Innovation (OI) paradigm highlights its potential to be shared or freely released to stimulate innovation. The Open Data (OD) movement builds on this idea, promoting transparency, social development, and innovation through the “opening” of data. This study investigates the intersection of OD and OI by examining how organizations engaged in OD initiatives structure their business models and the impact of these models on financial performance. Open Data Business Models (ODBM) are essential for companies to leverage freely accessible, non‐proprietary data effectively, enabling them to create value through innovative services, enhanced customer engagement, or improved decision‐making processes. Using a sample of 406 UK companies, the study employs a qualitative approach to identify ODBM archetypes. A quantitative analysis investigates the relationship between industry sector, ODBM adoption, and financial performance. Findings reveal key ODBM characteristics, their prevalence, and potential links to financial performance, offering insights into the long‐term viability of ODBMs. Summed up, the study provides a foundational resource for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to maximize OD benefits while ensuring economic resilience and sustainability
The Relationships between the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih and the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-shi
No full textDuring the Sung dynasty many versions of the national history were compiled. All these national histories included a chapter called Shih-huo-chih 食貨志. These versions of the Shih-huo-chih are not extant now in their original form, but fragments of them have been included in such books as the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih 宋史食貨志, the Hsü Tzŭ-chih-t’ung-chien ch’ang-pien 續資治通鑑長編, the Wên-hsien t’ung-k’ao 文獻通考, the Yü-hai 玉海, the Huang-chao pien-nien kang-mu pei-yao 皇朝編年綱目備耍, and the Shang-t’ang ch’ün-shu k’ao-so 山堂群書考索. The original form of the Shih-huo-chih, therefore, can be traced to some extent. Among the above works, the preface to the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-shih states that, though the chapter was based on the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih 宋朝國史, the quotation was limited only to the facts worth quoting because otherwise the chapter would become too voluminous. Comparing, however, the chapter of the Sung-chao kuo-shih with the similar chapters of the above works, the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih seems to have borrowed in its entirety this chapter in the Sung-chao kuo-shih. In other words, although the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih is mostly based on the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih, such chapters as the fang-t’ien 方田 were newly added, and the description of the Sung-chao kuo-shih is sometimes corrected or illustrated by new facts. Moreover, for the period after Li-tsung 理宗 at the end of the Southern Sung (1225~1279), the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih has a unique description because the corresponding part of the Sung-chao kuo-shih is lacking.The author then compares the text of the Sung-shih Shih-huo-chih with that of the above books for the purpose of restoring the original form of the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih. The Hsü Tzŭ-chih t’ung-chien ch’ang-pien not only quotes the Sung-chao kuo-shih most extensively but also exhaustively corrects its errors of the latter. The Wên-hsien t’ung-k’ao also greatly depends upon the Sung-chao kuo-shih without indicating the source, while the Yü-hai, indicating the source, borrows some passages. The Shan-t’ang ch’ün-shu k’ao-so quotes the sections covering the reigns of Chê-tsung 哲宗 and Hui-tsung 徽宗in the Sung-chao kuo-shih which are not clearly recorded in the other books. The Huang-chao pien-nien kang-mu pei-yao quotes, mostly in its notes, the description from the Sung-chao kuo-shih without indicating the source.Thus the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih remains in the form of various versions quoted in other works and from these the author endeavors to restore part of the text of the Shih-huo-chih in the Sung-chao kuo-shih.journal articl
Safety and mutagenicity evaluation of Vigiis 101 powder made from Lactobacillus paracasei subsp paracasei NTU 101
No full textThe aim of the present work was to assess the genotoxic activity and the potential for toxicity upon repeated dosing of "Vigiis 101" powder, a probiotic consisting of dried bacteria Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei NTU 101. Results of the Ames test in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1537, TA98, TA100, TA102, and TA1535 showed that Vigils 101 (<= 5 mg per plate) was not mutagenic. We used experiments on ICR mice to evaluate the genotoxicity of Vigiis 101. Compared to the control, high-dose Vigiis 101 administration (16.72 g per kg of body weight) did not cause significant changes either in the number of reticulocytes or in the percentage (occurrence) of micronucleated reticulocytes. A mammalian chromosomal aberration test showed that the number of Chinese hamster ovary cells with abnormal chromosomes was <4% after Vigiis 101 treatment (maximal concentration was 5 mg/ml). A 28-day oral toxicity assay in Wistar rats was performed to assess the no-observed-adverse-effect level of Vigiis 101. Compared to the control, high-dose Vigiis 101 administration (5000 mg/kg/day) had no effects on mortality and body weight and did not cause toxicopathological lesions. Taken together, these results show that Vigiis 101 has no significant mutagenic or toxic effects. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
