Chinese Theories of Reading and Writing

A Route to Hermeneutics and Open Poetics

By: Ming Dong Gu

This ambitious work provides a systematic study of Chinese theories of reading and writing in intellectual thought and critical practice. The author maintains that there are two major hermeneutic traditions in Chinese literature: the politico-moralistic mainstream and the metaphysico-aesthetical undercurrent. In exploring the interaction between the two, Ming Dong Gu finds a movement toward interpretive openness. In this, the Chinese practice anticipates modern and Western theories of interpretation, especially literary openness and open poetics. Classic Chinese works are examined, including the Zhouyi (the I Ching or Book of Changes), the Shijing (the Book of Songs or Book of Poetry), and selected poetry, along with the philosophical background of the hermeneutic theories. Ultimately, Gu relates the Chinese practices of reading to Western hermeneutics, offering a cross-cultural conceptual model for the comparative study of reading and writing in general.

Managing God's Higher Learning

U.S.-China Cultural Encounter and Canton Christian College (Lingnan University) 1888-1952

By: Dong Wang

Managing GodOs Higher Learning offers a distinct empirical study of Lingnan University and addresses issues of adaptation and integration. Author, Dong Wang, demonstrates that many aspects of Lingnan _ governance, links with the local society, financial management, education for women _ have either never been made the subject of scholarly discussion or are different from what we think we know about U.S.-China relations in the past. As the first co-educational institution of higher learning in China, Lingnan made monumental strides in the management of programs for women, a fact which confounds the assumptions made by China historians. The author argues that LingnanOs growth, resilience and success can partly be accounted for by entrepreneurial operations. Wang also contends that Lingnan found ways to adapt and 'layer' a Christian presence at a time when the nationalization and secularization of higher education was making rapid headway. Based on information from archives located across the Pacific, this book will appeal to scholars of Chinese history as well as those interested in Sino-American relations.

Attack-and-Defense Games for Control Systems

Analysis and Synthesis

By: Huanhuan Yuan,Yuan Yuan,Huapeng Dong,Yuanqing Xia,Mengbi Wang

This vital work for researchers and graduate students focuses on resilience estimation and control of cyber-physical networked systems using attacker-defender game theory. It presents attack and defense strategies and describes the design and resilience of control systems to withstand cyberattacks. Complex control systems, including cyber-physical and cloud control systems, are in open network environments and are often confronted with threats from cyberspace, physical space and even cloud service. With diversified and intelligent attack patterns and improvements in attack capabilities, non-contact damage can be widespread. In this book, the authors use a formal, mathematical approach to introduce their recent research findings to describe and design attack and defense strategies using game theoretic method. The book is divided into three sections, focusing on strategies for resilience against deception attacks and DoS attacks, and protecting cloud control systems against threats. In these sections, the authors address topics such as secure and distributed filtering, attack detection and disturbance rejection, resilient state estimation, and resilient control, and techniques such as Stackelberg games, hierarchical games, and active eavesdropping. Through this book readers will be able to design effective defense strategies for complex control system to achieve resilience for closed-control cyber physical systems, network and cloud systems. This book is a vital resource for graduate students and academic researchers who are familiar with the concepts related to cyberattack and defense and who have a related research background. To maximize their benefit from this book, readers are recommended to have a strong mathematical foundation as the book takes a mathematical approach to the concepts and strategies described within.

Chinese Semiotic Thoughts in the Pre-imperial Age

By: Dong Zhu

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Chinese Semiotic Thoughts in the Pre-imperial Age

By: Dong Zhu

This book examines practices on the relationship between sign and meaning in the Pre-Imperial period of China from the semiotics perspective. Although the Chinese civilization did not develop a comprehensive semiotics system in that period, they are highly semiotic in many ways. The thinking and application of signs of Chinese people can be found in many classics, such as The Book of Changes, The Analects of Confucius, Tao De Jing and Zhuangzi. This book begins its study by re-examining the semiotic thoughts contained in The Book of Changes and inquiries into the thoughts of the major philosophers of different schools. It provides insights into the findings of these philosophers concerning the relationship between sign and meaning. In particular, it concentrates on how the prosperity of the various contending semiotic thoughts complemented each other in forming a sign system. In addition, the book also emphasizes the wholeness and associativity of observing things and studying relevant signs of Chinese people. As the first monograph in any language to systematically summarize Chinese semiotic thought in the Pre-Imperial period, this book helps promote understanding of the traditional Chinese culture and mindset.

Vector Architects

Gong Dong and the Art of Building

By: Gong Dong,Vector Architects

Gong Dong and Vector Architects are in the vanguard of a new generation of Chinese architects who are revealing extraordinary approaches to building and design that marry tradition with an ever-more-thrilling modernism. Gong Dong’s architecture evocatively combines features of the modern with lessons learned from China’s old culture of craftsmanship while giving utmost attention to the experiential qualities of design. Beyond great facility, the firm is celebrated for exploring the possibilities of sustainability and eco-sensitive construction. Recently featured in the exhibition Reuse, Renew, Recycle: Recent Architecture from China at New York’s MoMA, Dong’s work was singled out for the Alila Yangshio Hotel. A readaptation of an old industrial site and former sugar factory near the Chinese city of Guilin, known for its dramatic landscape of precipitous limestone karst hills, the hotel embraces the extraordinary site, with pools that reflect the stunning surrounds, while also offering great comfort and ease to guests. The book presents the firm’s most breathtaking work, from its celebrated Seashore Chapel, which suggests a marriage of the cerebral power of Le Corbusier and the refined magic of Tadao Ando while making a serene and unique statement of its own, to the magical Captain’s House, a renovation of a modernist dwelling set atop a cliff overlooking a fishing village and the sea. This elegantly illustrated and beautifully designed book is the first in English to comprehensively document this exceptionally high quality, quietly rich, and greatly rewarding architecture.

Low-Frequency Waves in Space Plasmas

By: Andreas Keiling,Dong-Hun Lee,Valery Nakariakov

Low-frequency waves in space plasmas have been studied for several decades, and our knowledge gain has been incremental with several paradigm-changing leaps forward. In our solar system, such waves occur in the ionospheres and magnetospheres of planets, and around our Moon. They occur in the solar wind, and more recently, they have been confirmed in the Sun’s atmosphere as well. The goal of wave research is to understand their generation, their propagation, and their interaction with the surrounding plasma. Low-frequency Waves in Space Plasmas presents a concise and authoritative up-to-date look on where wave research stands: What have we learned in the last decade? What are unanswered questions? While in the past waves in different astrophysical plasmas have been largely treated in separate books, the unique feature of this monograph is that it covers waves in many plasma regions, including: Waves in geospace, including ionosphere and magnetosphere Waves in planetary magnetospheres Waves at the Moon Waves in the solar wind Waves in the solar atmosphere Because of the breadth of topics covered, this volume should appeal to a broad community of space scientists and students, and it should also be of interest to astronomers/astrophysicists who are studying space plasmas beyond our Solar System.

Differential Privacy

From Theory to Practice

By: Ninghui Li,Min Lyu,Dong Su,Weining Yang

Over the last decade, differential privacy (DP) has emerged as the de facto standard privacy notion for research in privacy-preserving data analysis and publishing. The DP notion offers strong privacy guarantee and has been applied to many data analysis tasks. This Synthesis Lecture is the first of two volumes on differential privacy. This lecture differs from the existing books and surveys on differential privacy in that we take an approach balancing theory and practice. We focus on empirical accuracy performances of algorithms rather than asymptotic accuracy guarantees. At the same time, we try to explain why these algorithms have those empirical accuracy performances. We also take a balanced approach regarding the semantic meanings of differential privacy, explaining both its strong guarantees and its limitations. We start by inspecting the definition and basic properties of DP, and the main primitives for achieving DP. Then, we give a detailed discussion on the the semantic privacy guarantee provided by DP and the caveats when applying DP. Next, we review the state of the art mechanisms for publishing histograms for low-dimensional datasets, mechanisms for conducting machine learning tasks such as classification, regression, and clustering, and mechanisms for publishing information to answer marginal queries for high-dimensional datasets. Finally, we explain the sparse vector technique, including the many errors that have been made in the literature using it. The planned Volume 2 will cover usage of DP in other settings, including high-dimensional datasets, graph datasets, local setting, location privacy, and so on. We will also discuss various relaxations of DP.

Interfacial Mechanics

Theories and Methods for Contact and Lubrication

By: Jane Wang,Dong Zhu

Understanding the characteristics of material contact and lubrication at tribological interfaces is of great importance to engineering researchers and machine designers. Traditionally, contact and lubrication are separately studied due to technical difficulties, although they often coexist in reality and they are actually on the same physical ground. Fast research advancements in recent years have enabled the development and application of unified models and numerical approaches to simulate contact and lubrication, merging their studies into the domain of Interfacial Mechanics. This book provides updated information based on recent research progresses in related areas, which includes new concepts, theories, methods, and results for contact and lubrication problems involving elastic or inelastic materials, homogeneous or inhomogeneous contacting bodies, using stochastic or deterministic models for dealing with rough surfaces. It also contains unified models and numerical methods for mixed lubrication studies, analyses of interfacial frictional and thermal behaviors, as well as theories for studying the effects of multiple fields on interfacial characteristics. The book intends to reflect the recent trends of research by focusing on numerical simulation and problem solving techniques for practical interfaces of engineered surfaces and materials. This book is written primarily for graduate and senior undergraduate students, engineers, and researchers in the fields of tribology, lubrication, surface engineering, materials science and engineering, and mechanical engineering.

Chen Yun's Strategy for China's Development

By: Nicholas R. Lardy,Kenneth Lieberthal,Dong Chen

Originally published in 1983. Since Mao Zedongfs death the Chinese have been debating the future character of the country’s political and economic system. The present collection of Chen Yun’s writings must be read against the backdrop of the ongoing policy discussion in the 1980s. Chen has been, and remains, an advocate of economic policies that are central to this debate, and since 1978 many of his views have become state policy. In this context the publication in China of this volume of Chen’s writings and speeches from 1956 to 1962 undoubtedly is designed in part to bolster Chen’s point of view in policy discussions. The author cites that the implicit message of this volume, translated here in full, is that had Chen's views been heeded earlier, China would have developed rapidly and successfully

High Temperature Phase Equilibria and Phase Diagrams

By: Chu-Kun Kuo,Zu-Xiang Lin,Dong-Sheng Yan

High temperature phase equilibria studies play an increasingly important role in materials science and engineering. It is especially significant in the research into the properties of the material and the ways in which they can be improved. This is achieved by observing equilibrium and by examining the phase relationships at high temperature. The study of high temperature phase diagrams of nonmetallic systems began in the early 1900s when silica and mineral systems containing silica were focussed upon.
