Chao Yuen Ren (1892–1982)
No full textY. R. Chao is easily the most famous linguist to have come out of China. Born before the end of the last dynasty in China, he received a traditional Confucian education, but was also one of the first Chinese people to be sent to the West for training in modern Western science (under the Boxer Indemnity Fund). The remarkable breadth and scope of his studies included physics, mathematics, linguistics, musical and literary composition, and translation, and he was a pioneer in many of these fields

Alebroides spanner Yu & Yang, sp. nov.
No full textA. spanner Yu & Yang, sp. nov. (Figs 38–47) Type material. Holotype, ♂, Kuankuoshui Nature Reserve, Guizhou, 13. August. 2010, collected at light by Xiaofei Yu. Length: ♂ 3.9mm. Crown yellowish (Fig 38). Ocellus surrounded with off-white stripe (Fig 40). Coronal suture brownish, not reaching apex of crown (Fig 38). Face yellowish (Fig 39). Pronotum with irregular spots at anterior margin, semitransparent posteriorly (Fig 38). Scutellum yellowish (Fig 38). Forewing yellowish, semitransparent; hindwing hyaline (Fig 38). Abdomen yellowish. Legs yellowish except claws brown. Male ventral abdominal apodemes protruding into segment 7 (Fig 41). Male pygofer with setae; ventral pygofer appendage curved, with dense pubescence, beyond pygofer; dorsal bridge less than 1 / 3 length of pygofer (Fig 42). Subgenital plate exceeding pygofer, with 2 rows of 22 macrosetae, 3 rows of ca. 32 long and feeble microsetae, ca. 25 marginal microsetae and 5 basal group macrosetae (Fig 43). Paramere elongate, sinuate, apex with few teeth, with setae and sensory pits subapically (Fig 44). Aedeagus expanded from midlength to apex and apically emarginate in dorsal view (Figs 45, 46). Anal tube process spanner-shaped, two processes nearly equal length (Fig 47). Connective longer than wide with shallow posterior emargination. Etymology. The new species name alludes to anal tube process branched and spanner-shaped. Remarks. The new speices is similar to A. falcatus Sohi & Dworakowska, but it is different from the latter in having the pygofer appendage with dense pubescence (Fig 42) and the anal tube process branched and spannershaped (Fig 47).Published as part of Yu, Xiaofei & Yang, Maofa, 2014, Four new species of Alebroides Matsumura (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) from China, pp. 248-262 in Zootaxa 3780 (2) on page 250, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3780.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/23041
Lam Yu oral history interview and transcript
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of oral history interviews conducted by the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University. This collection includes audio recordings and transcripts of interviews with Asian Americans native to or living in Houston.Born in 1977 in Taishan, Guangdong, China, Dr. Lam Yu currently serves as an Associate Teaching Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Rice University. In Hong Kong, where he grew up, Yu attended Heoi Ta Tung Primary School and learned the importance of a good education from a young age. He moved to the US shortly before completing elementary school. Having attended two different elementary schools on opposite sides of Houston, he recalls how each neighborhood’s affluence impacted its quality of public education. Later, Yu attended Trinity University for his undergraduate education. There, he not only realized that he wanted to pursue physics as a future career path, but also made some of his closest friends who he still keeps in touch with today.
After completing college, Yu attended graduate school at Rice University, and then occupied a post-doctoral research position at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Maryland. Yu’s original plan was to become tenure faculty, so following his post-doc, he accepted a tenure track position at the University of Memphis. However, when he and his wife were expecting their firstborn child, Yu realized that Memphis was not his ideal environment to raise a family in, because it was so segregated. As a result, Yu left Memphis and accepted a teaching position at Rice University. Throughout his nine years of teaching physics and astronomy at Rice, he has continuously honed his teaching skills, aiming to cultivate an inclusive classroom environment that supports Rice’s diverse student body.
Along with his wife and three children, Yu looks forward to forming more personal connections with students as the newly appointed Head Residential Associate at Hanszen College. Outside of his career, he enjoys spending time with his kids, reading, listening to podcasts and audiobooks, traveling, and experimenting with various projects

Distribution: Anhui (new provincial record), Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Zhejiang. Remarks: The male and female habitus are shown in Fig. 9, and the typical abdominal morphology of both genders is depicted in Figs. 10A–D. The long process of the basal cercal segment varies from straight and pointed apically to curved and flat; the subapical spine on the long process varies in distance from the apex (Figs. 11A–D).Published as part of Huo, Qing-Bo, Zhao, Meng-Yuan, Du, Yu-Zhou, Murányi, Dávid, Zhu, Bin-Qing & Yu, Lei, 2023, The intraspecific morphological variability of Styloperla Wu, 1935 (Plecoptera: Styloperlidae), pp. 125-137 in Zootaxa 5249 (1) on page 131, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5249.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/768540
