Kung Fu Idol
No full textThis is one of hundreds of 60-second radio spots created by the Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) for Kansas Public Radio (KPR). The purpose of this outreach program is to introduce the people of Kansas to the culture and current issues of East Asia.Broadcast Transcript: First there was Pop Idol. Then there was American Idol. Soon there will be Kung Fu Idol. Well, technically this is not the title of the show but it might as well be. The show's goal is to find the greatest kung fu master in China and to star this person in a kung fu movie to be produced by the Shaolin monks. Shaolin is well known for its Zen practices and excellence in martial arts. In fact, Shaolin's brand of martial arts has influenced movies from Kill Bill to The Matrix and spawned at least one TV show. Soon showbiz began to define Shaolin's mission rather than vice versa. Kung fu idol aims to give Shaolin back the control. We can only hope that there will be more than "the sound of one hand clapping" as the credits roll. #ceas #china #hacker #tsutsu

Fu Describing About the Author Himself: A Focus on Ban Gu "You tong fu"
No full textFrom Later Han dynasty onwards, the number of fu describing about the author himself has increased. There are several possible reasons for this, but the most important reason is probably that there was no other genre through which one could express oneself except for fu in this period. For instance, the fiveword poetry was still in the middle way of establishing its own style at that moment. Moreover, in Former Han, there were few opportunities for authors to talk about themselves in detail in fu, because the main readers were emperors and kings of countries. In Later Han, the readers had become more diverse. That is probably the reason why more fu began to mention about the authors themselves in this period. Ban Gu (32-92), who is a representative scholar of Later Han and also a man of letters, expressed his aim by writing "You tong fu". Its main content is that though one's encounter with a disaster or felicity is not always derived from our behavior, we have to have a strong will and take action to overcome disasters. This idea is supported by Ban Gu's experiences of not attaining his aim. Such experiences are common in Chinese authors. One of the earliest examples is Chu Ci. Also, Chu Ci is the one of the origins of fu. It is surprising that authors expressed things about themselves mostly in fu describing journeys. It may be easier to understand this tendency if we think they substituted the heaven wander in Chu Ci with a ground journey. Chu Ci was a model for authors to express their aim which could not come true, even if the journey on the ground and the wander in heaven are different

Online Iterative Adaptive Dynamic Programming Approach for Solving the Zero-Sum Game for Nonlinear Continuous-Time Systems with Partially Unknown Dynamics
No full textThe current study presents an online iterative adaptive dynamic programming approach to resolve the zero-sum game (ZSG) for nonlinear continuous-time (CT) systems containing a partially unknown dynamic. The Hamilton-Jacobian-Issacs (HJI) equation is solved along the state trajectory according to the value function approximation and the policy improvement online. Relaxed dynamic programming is utilized to ensure the algorithm’s convergence. Model and costate networks were established to conduct the method. Computational simulations are performed to present the efficiency of the algorithm.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Control & Simulatio
Educazione, società e arte nella visione del socialismo utopistico britannico. Orizzonti sociali, progetti riformatori e proposte educative in Robert Owen, John Ruskin e William Morris.
No full textL’articolo mostra le connessioni tra le idee economiche di alcuni importanti esponenti del socialismo utopistico britannico e le loro proposte su sistemi educativi alternativi. Nel XIX secolo, Robert Owen, John Ruskin e William Morris furono interessati alle condizioni dei lavoratori: il nucleo principale delle loro riflessioni fu la maniera di evitare lo sfruttamento delle masse dei lavoratori e salvare la bellezza nell’arte, nella natura e nella vita. Nonostante alcune importanti differenze tra i tre pensatori, Owen, Ruskin e Morris denunciarono i limiti e gli abusi del sistema capitalista. Pertanto loro suggerirono di superare il liberismo economico e, invece, di stabilire nuovi modelli socio-economici che avrebbero dovuto essere fondati su aziende cooperative (Owen), su corporazioni di lavoratori (Ruskin) o su laboratori di artigiani (Morris). Le riflessioni dei tre pensatori prevedevano la necessità di cambiare il modello scolastico tradizionale, per contribuire alla riforma della società. L’articolo analizza le proposte educative di Owen, di Ruskin e di Morris alla luce delle loro riflessioni sociali, economiche e letterarie
Note of congratulations from Jack Huang to Dr. Frank Fu, January 1, 1983
No full textA note of congratulations to Dr. Frank H. Fu (Fu Haojian) from Springfield College Alum, Jack Huang, Class of 1936, dated January 1, 1983. The card has country lane scene on the front, with a tree with pink leaves, a buttfly, and a tree with its leaves still green. There is the roof of a house just visible over the hill. It also says Congratulations. Inside is short message.Mr. Huang wrote a short personal note congratulating him for his efforts and the recent recognition by then President Ronald Reagan, or the actor as he refers to him, and saying how proud the Chinese are of him. An author of 17 textbooks and more than 100 journal articles, Frank H. Fu, G’73, DPE’75, has worked across the world in China, Canada, and the United States. Throughout his career, he has received many distinguished honors, including the Medal of Honor in 2009 by the SAR Government of Hong Kong.
Fu has held positions at institutions such as the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Springfield College, where he served as director of the International Center starting in 1978. Five years later, Fu returned to Hong Kong, but has since remained actively involved with Springfield College, participating in talks on the campus and even hosting a gathering of nearly 60 alumni in Hong Kong.
Currently, Fu is the associate vice president of Hong Kong Baptist University, where he also works as the director of the Dr. Stephen Hui Research Centre of Physical Recreation and Wellness. In addition, Fu is president of the Society of Chinese Scholars on Exercise Physiology and Fitness, chairperson of Hong Kong Coach Education Committee, a research fellow of the Research Consortium of SHAPE America, and an international fellow of the National Academy of Kinesiology

No full textThis is a memo from William J. Considine, Dean of Academic Programs at Springfield College, and Dr. Frank Fu, the Director of the International Center, about the proposed plan of study for Lance Lambdin at the Beijing Institute of Physical Education (now Beijing Sport University). The memo is dated April 12, 1982. It outlines the course he will take and other information on the course of study being proposed for Lance Lambdin. Lance Lambdin will be the first student from Springfield College to take courses at Beijing Sport University in the fall of 1982.Beijing Sport University was organized and established as the Central Institute of Physical Education (sport) in 1953 with the help of Professor Xu Yingchao, Springfield College graduate of the class 1938. The name of the university changed to Peking (Beijing) Institute of Physical Culture (physical education) in 1956 and renamed Beijing Sports University in 1993. The first agreement signed by Springfield College and the Beijing Sport University was on September 25, 1981, which provided pathways for collaboration and exchange of faculty and students
Practical application of on-line partial discharge monitoring technique on 500kV shunt reactor
No full textConsidering the damage mechanism of oil-impregnated paper insulation in power transformers, shunt reactors and other high voltage electrical apparatus caused by partial discharge, a concept of “destructive partial discharge” is introduced in this paper. The intensity of this discharge is regarded as several thousands pico-coulomb (pC) and may cause the insulation a fatal damage. An oil-paper insulation is usually able to withstand this type of partial discharge for a period of time prior to failure. This provides engineers a time window to detect it. This paper describes an on-line partial discharge monitoring system for 500kV shunt reactors. The commission results from 3 single-phase shunt reactors either connected or disconnected to the grid showed that the on-line partial discharge detecting system has a high noise immunising ability. Two years later after the installation, a pre-warning signal was received from one shunt reactor indicating the existence of an intermittent discharge. The acoustic emission system located its position at the low end of the high voltage bushing in the oil. Dissolved gasses analysis (DGA) in the oil suggested the presence of partial discharge, as acetylene (C2H2) was as high as 20ppm. PD activity was further confirmed by a physical examination on the reactor
