Music for Two Pianos by Taiwanese Composers Mao-Shuen Chen, Gordon Shi-Wen Chin, Pey-Wen Yen, Ching-Wen Chao
No full textThis is the first study to focus exclusively on two-piano compositions by Taiwanese composers. The four compositions for two pianos included in this study are Ballade (2003) by Mao-Shuen Chen
(b. 1936), Quiet Joy (1999) by Gordon Shi-Wen Chin (b. 1957), Piano Duet (2005) by Pey-Wen Yen (b. 1966) and Studies No.1-3 (1999) by Ching-Wen Chao (b. 1973). The two male and two female composers have been and continue to be prominent figures in the development of contemporary music in Taiwan. The objective of this study is to familiarize performers and audiences with the four compositions for two pianos.
Each composition represents a significant personal statement by the composer, exemplified by a unique compositional style. Mao-Shuen Chen’s Ballade and Gordon Shi-Wen Chin’s Quiet Joy are inspired by the society and the landscape scenery in Taiwan, which convey their deep personal affection for the island. The Piano Duet by Pey-Wen Yen reflects a time when she was in search of mental freedom, a state that is related to Nirvana in the religion Buddhism. Studies No.1-3 by Ching-Wen Chao was written during a time when she was preoccupied with the works of the American composer Conlon Nancarrow. The third piece of Studies is the first of a series of compositions in memory of Chao’s father. The selection and synthesis of musical materials - pitch, rhythm, harmony, texture, formal structure - create a satisfying, self-assured expression of emotions by the composers and a fulfilling musical experience for the audience.
This study provides an in-depth analysis and performance suggestions for the four compositions for two pianos. Diverse approaches to the use of Western techniques to express personal values derived from Asian culture is an important concept shared by the four compositions. These works represent a successful model and an inspiration for Taiwanese composers that desire to combine Eastern and Western compositional techniques.Item withdrawn by Mark Zulauf ([email protected]) on 2009-11-11T15:02:24Z

Gapped quantum phases for the S=1 spin chain with D2h symmetry
No full textWe study different quantum phases in integer spin systems with on-site D[subscript 2h]=D[subscript 2]⊗Z[subscript 2] and translation symmetry. We find four distinct nontrivial phases in S=1 spin chains despite the fact that they all have the same symmetry. All four phases have gapped bulk excitations, doubly degenerate end states, and the doubly degenerate entanglement spectrum. These nontrivial phases are examples of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases introduced by Gu and Wen [ Phys. Rev. B 80 155131 (2009)]. One of the SPT phases corresponds to the Haldane phase and the other three are new. These four SPT phases can be distinguished experimentally by their different responses of the end states to weak external magnetic fields. According to the Chen–Gu–Wen classification, the D[subscript 2h] symmetric spin chain can have a total of 64 SPT phases that do not break the symmetry. Here we constructed seven nontrivial phases from the seven classes of nontrivial projective representations of the D[subscript 2h] group. Four of these are found in S=1 spin chains and studied in this paper.National Science Foundation (U.S.) (Grant DMR-1005541)National Natural Science Foundation (China) (11074140

Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Os dois aspectos do Coração XIN : Interpretações sobre o livro de medicina chinesa HUANG DI NEI JING SU WEN LING SHU.
Full text linkTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, História.O presente trabalho é uma pesquisa sobre o conceito de Coração XĪN 心 em um dos mais antigos e influentes livros de medicina chinesa atualmente, originalmente dividido em HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG SÙ WÈN 黃帝內經素問 e HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG LÍNG SHŪ 黃帝內經靈樞. Evidências sugerem que as bases do SÙ WÈN 素問 e do LÍNG SHŪ 靈 樞 são um conjunto de textos escritos durante o período dos Estados Combatentes (475-221 AEC), passando pela dinastia Qin (221-206 AEC) e pela dinastia Han (206 AEC-221 DEC), embora as versões mais antigas que chegaram até nós remontem a dinastia Song (970-1279) . No capítulo 8 do HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG SÙ WÈN 黃帝內經素問, o Coração XĪN 心 é apresentado como o Mestre e Soberano do corpo humano, aquele que tudo controla e governa, enquanto no capítulo 8 do HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG LÍNG SHŪ 黃帝內經靈樞, o Coração XĪN 心 é o Vazio do Coração XĪN XŪ 心虛, aquele que não deve a nada se apegar ou rejeitar, morada dos Espíritos SHÉN 神 e nossa ligação primordial com o Céu TIĀN 天. Corroborando a percepção desses dois aspectos, apresento textos clássicos não-médicos como LǍOZI 老子, ZHUĀNGZI 莊子, HUÁINÁNZǏ 淮南子e LǙSHÌ CHŪNQIŪ 呂氏春 秋. Por fim, pretendo mostrar como esse duplo aspecto, que a princípio pode parecer contraditório, está baseado na teoria YĪN YÁNG 陰陽, a realidade última como a união dinâmica dos opostos. Permeando todo o trabalho, pretendo analisar a cosmologia em que a Medicina Chinesa está enraizada, completamente diferente, em muitos aspectos, da cosmologia biomédica moderna e, assim, discuto a própria noção que temos atualmente no Ocidente em relação à saúde e à doença, ao ser humano e à natureza.This paper is a research about the concept of Heart XĪN 心 in one of the most ancient and influential Chinese medicine books that currently exist, originally divided in HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG SÙ WÈN 黃帝內經素問 and HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG LÍNG SHŪ 黃帝內經靈樞. Available evidence suggests that at the basis of SÙ WÈN 素問 and LÍNG SHŪ 靈 樞 is a layer of texts written during the end of the Warring States period (475-221), through Qin dynasty and beginning of Western Han dynasty, although the most ancient versions remained until nowadays are from Song dynasty (960-1279). In HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG SÙ WÈN 黃帝內 經素問 chapter 8, the Heart XĪN 心 is presented as Master and Sovereign of human body, who control and govern all things, while in HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG LÍNG SHŪ 黃帝內經靈樞 chapter 8, the Heart XĪN 心 is Heart‟s Emptiness XĪN XŪ 心虛, who should not cleave or reject anything, residence of Spirits SHÉN 神 and our primordial connection with Heaven TIĀN 天. In addiction about these two aspects, I present non-medical classical texts as LǍOZI 老子, ZHUĀNGZI 莊子, HUÁINÁNZǏ 淮南子, GUǍNZǏ 管子, XÚNZǏ 荀子, LǙSHÌ CHŪNQIŪ 呂氏春秋 e LǏ JÌ 禮記. Lastly, I pretend show how this double aspect, seems like a contradiction for us westerns, is based on YĪN YÁNG 陰陽 theory, the reality as a dynamic union of opposites. Throughout this work, I pretend to analyze the cosmology that Chinese medicine is rooted on, completely diffent, in several aspects, from modern biomedic cosmology, thereby I also discuss some differences notions between ancient Chinese medicine and we westerns about health and disease, human beign and nature
