No full textThis thesis and exhibition are a tribute to the fragility and beauty of coral and to raise
awareness of the impact reefs have on human life and marine ecosystems. The ceramic
installation “The Final Reef” translates scientific research on living coral, coral bleaching, and
marine degradation, into a tactile, visual language. The work explores the tension between
beauty and loss, rendering coral forms in their living vibrancy and alternatively, when they are
bleak and bleached. Assembled to function symbiotically within the exhibition space, the
sculptures highlight the interconnectedness of reef systems while expressing their critical
endangerment. Through sculpture and hand building with clay, this installation encapsulates and
preserves the delicate essence of coral reefs, capturing their forms in both living and bleached
states.N
Yuan Mei Eighteenth Century Chinese Poet
No full textFirst published in 1956. Arthur Waley here presents an engrossing account of the works and life of Yuan Mei (1716-1797), the best-known poet of his time.

Motivations and strategies for a real revaluation of the Yuan.
No full textMost Western economists and policymakers agree that the Yuan is significantly undervalued and push for its quick nominal revaluation. This paper defends that many domestic and foreign factors could be responsible for the Yuan’s undervaluation, and the People’s bank of China (PBC) cannot optimally invest growing foreign exchange reserves. It provides a theoretical framework to discuss the optimal strategy associating a gradual nominal revaluation of the Yuan with higher inflation, and structural and macroeconomic policies to bring the real exchange rate to its equilibrium level. This strategy allows absorbing external imbalances while laying down the foundation for China’s long-term growth.Real revaluation; Yuan; Renminbi (RMB); foreign exchange reserves; external imbalance; macroeconomic adjustment measures.
Feasibility of Software-Based Duty Cycling of GPS for Trajectory-Based Services
No full textEnergy-efficient localization is increasingly important for many types of smartphone apps. The research community has argued that fixed duty cycling of GPS is not a good choice for trajectory-based services concerning route accuracy. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a highly accurate map matching and path construction algorithm. Furthermore, with thorough field experiments, we show that fixed duty cycling of a smartphone GPS receiver is a feasible approach for trajectory-based services, and it can achieve considerable energy conservation without sacrificing much route accuracy. When increasing the GPS sampling period beyond 120 seconds, it saves at least 78% energy in comparison to continuous GPS sampling, while the loss of route accuracy tends to be stable around 23%.Li, Xiaohan, Yuan, Fengpeng, & Lindqvist, Janne.

Motivations and strategies for a real revaluation of the Yuan
No full textMost Western economists and policy makers agree that the Yuan is significantly undervalued and push the Chinese government for a large nominal revaluation of the Yuan. This paper, while surveying recent research on Chinese exchange rate policy, gives some new insights into this issue. Notably, this paper defends that China is not solely responsible for the Yuan’s undervaluation, the Chinese central bank cannot optimally invest an increasing amount of foreign currency reserves, and the Yuan’s nominal revaluation is not the only way to resolve the problem. After having analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of a nominal versus a real revaluation of the Yuan for the Chinese economy, I advocate and analyze, besides a modest nominal revaluation, a multitude of alternative policies to achieve a complete revaluation of the Yuan in real terms, which allows absorbing external disequilibrium while laying down the foundation for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy.Renminbi (RMB), revaluation of the Yuan, foreign exchange reserves, external disequilibrium, measures of macroeconomic adjustment.
