Korea's Grievous War

By: Su-kyoung Hwang

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

In 1948, two years before Cold War tensions resulted in the invasion of South Korea by North Korea that started the Korean War, the first major political confrontation between leftists and rightists occurred on the South Korean island of Cheju, where communist activists disrupted United Nations-sanctioned elections and military personnel were deployed. What began as a counterinsurgency operation targeting 350 local rebels resulted in the deaths of roughly 30,000 uninvolved civilians, 10 percent of the island's population. Su-kyoung Hwang's Korea's Grievous War recounts the civilian experience of anticommunist violence, beginning with the Cheju Uprising in 1948 and continuing through the Korean War until 1953. Wartime declarations of emergency by both the U.S. and Korean governments were issued to contain communism, but a major consequence of their actions was to contribute to the loss of more than two million civilian lives. Hwang inventories the persecutions of left-leaning intellectuals under the South Korean regime of Syngman Rhee and the executions of political prisoners and innocent civilians to "prevent" their collaboration with North Korea. She highlights the role of the United States in observing, documenting, and yet failing to intervene in the massacres and of the U.S. Air Force's three-year firebombing campaign in North and South Korea. Hwang draws on archival research and personally conducted interviews to recount vividly the acts of anticommunist violence at the human level and illuminate the sufferings of civilian victims. Korea's Grievous War presents the historical background, political motivations, legal bases, and social consequences of anticommunist violence, tracing the enduring legacy of this destruction in the testimonies of survivors and bereaved families that only now can give voice to the lived experience of this grievous war and its aftermath.

Archival Resources of Republican China in North America

By: Chengzhi Wang,Su Chen

North America maintains the largest collection of archival materials relating to the Chinese Republican era (1911–1949) outside of China. Most of the archival materials are also unique, and the collections contain special materials supplementing historical records in China and Taiwan. In many cases, North America's holdings represent the best and only public access to the tumultuous Republican government and society of the first half of the twentieth century. An essential guide for researchers and students of Republican China, this volume, presented in both English and Chinese, covers personal papers, correspondences, memoirs, diaries, photographs, moving images, and other materials held at academic and research institutions across the United States and Canada. It includes concise descriptions of the people, organizations, and events connected to each entry and notes when certain collections are closely related and when materials are digitized for online access. The book corrects common errors associated with the library records of many archives and updates or completes information on the objects of these records. More than a straightforward itemization, this book adds significant depth to any research on the history and global import of China's modern development.

Chinese Stock Markets

A Research Handbook

By: Dongwei Su

The exponential growth of China''s stock markets in the past decade has attracted global attention from academics and practitioners. The practitioner''s interest in Chinese markets stems from corporations; investors and financial institutions foresee substantial benefits from investing in China in the long run.

It integrates theory and practice with state-of-the-art statistical techniques and provides numerous insights into the main challenges confronting Chinese markets in the new millennium. Contents: Development of Chinese Stock Markets; Structural and Institutional Characteristics; Risk, Return and Regulation in Chinese Stock Markets; Ownership Restrictions and Foreign Shares Discount; Excess Volatility in Domestic Share Markets; The Underpricing of Initial Public Offerings; Corporate Governance and Post-IPO Financing; Accounting Information and Stock Performance; Internationalization of Chinese Stock Markets; Appendices: Securities Law; Summary of P.R.C Taxes; Major Events in Chinese Stock Markets. Readership: PhD and advanced MBA students, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in emerging market issues.

China’s Encounter with Global Hollywood

Cultural Policy and the Film Industry, 1994-2013

By: Wendy Su

In recent years, the film industry in the People's Republic of China has found itself among the top three most prolific in the world. When the Chinese government introduced a new revenue-sharing system in 1994, the nation's total movie output skyrocketed with gross box-office receipts totaling billions of yuan. This newfound success, however, has been built on an alternately competitive and collaborative relationship between the ascendant global power of China and the popular culture juggernaut of America. In China's Encounter with Global Hollywood, Wendy Su examines the intertwining relationships among the Chinese state, global Hollywood, and the Chinese film industry while analyzing the causes and consequences of the rapid growth of the nation's domestic film production. She demonstrates how the Chinese state has consolidated power by negotiating foreign interest in the lucrative Chinese market while advancing its cultural industries. Su also reveals how mainland Chinese and Hong Kong filmmakers have navigated the often-incompatible requirements of marketization and state censorship. This timely analysis demonstrates how China has cannily used global capital to modernize its own film industry and now stands poised to step clear of Hollywood's shadow. The country's debates -- on- and offscreen -- over cultural change, market-based economic reforms, and artistic freedom illuminate China's ongoing efforts to build a modern national identity.

Successful ICT Projects in FrontPage

By: Robert S. U. Heathcote,Bonie Ngowi

This book is designed to help students on an 'A' Level, Advanced VCE or similar course to design and implement a Web site using Microsoft FrontPage 2002. FrontPage is a suitable software package for the project component in 'AS' level and Advanced VCE courses. Parts 1 to 2 of the book take the reader through the steps in creating and publishing a Web site both with and without the use of a wizard. Part 3 gives advice on all stages of project work from the definition of a suitable problem through to documentation. The book was written primarily for 'AS' and 'A' Level Information and Communication Technology students and contains in Appendix B the AQA mark scheme for 'AS' Module 3: Coursework. It will also be suitable for students on many other courses at different levels since the mark scheme, with minor variations, is one which applies to projects in many ICT courses. For a second year project in an 'A' Level course, data collected from a Web site can be exported and used in an Access database. This aspect could be developed further to fulfil the requirements of, for example, Module 6 of the AQA ICT specification.A sample project is included to show students how a complete project report may be laid out.

In this paper a [italic capital]K-theoretic classification is given of the real rank zero [italic capital]C*-algebras that can be expressed as inductive limits of sequences of finite direct sums of matrix algebras over finite connected graphs (possibly with multiple vertices). The special case that the graphs are circles is due to Elliott.

The Development of Teaching Expertise from an International Perspective

By: Su Liang

This book provides an insightful view of effective teaching practices in China from an international perspective by examining the grades 7-12 mathematics teacher preparation in the Shandong province of China. It is an excellent reference book for teacher educators, researchers, reformers, and teaching practitioners. A qualitative research approach, involving in-depth interviews with purposive sampling of ten grades 7-12 award-winning mathematics teachers, was chosen to conduct the study. The participants are from the Shandong province and have been awarded recognition for his/her achievements in teaching grades 7-12 mathematics by the different levels: school, district, city, province, or nation; and his/her students have achieved high average scores in college entrance exams or in high school entrance exams among the classes at the same grade level. Data analysis revealed the following findings: first, grades 7-12 mathematics teachers from the Shandong province of China were prepared to teach through pre-service training, in-service training, and informal learning. The pre-service training can be characterized as emphasizing formal mathematics training at advanced level. The in-service training is integrated with teacher collaboration and teaching research, and has the characteristics of diversity, continuity, and orientation toward teaching practice. The in-service training also stimulates teachers to conduct self-directed learning. Second, the award-winning grades 7-12 mathematics teachers are identified by the following characteristics: they are passionate about mathematics and share their passion through teaching; they actively take part in teaching research through application of teaching research in the classroom, collaboration with peers, and systematic lesson preparation; they apply technology into teaching; and they take an active role in teaching research in order to expand their professional opportunities. Based on the findings of this study, the following conclusions were reached: pre-service training and in-service training are both necessary processes for mathematics teachers to build up their knowledge base for effective teaching. Pre-service training is just a starting point for the teaching profession. In-service training, integrated with teacher collaboration and teaching research should be a continuous activity that is a part of a teacher’s everyday life.

La Screams

By: Su Boddie

Mike Sullivan is a rookie cop in late nineteenth-century Los Angeles. There are only seventy officers on the squad, and they still ride horses on patrol. The city population reaches over one million, and crime increases with the growth; but Mike is a cop, ready to face any foe. Or so he believes. When the Adelaide docks at San Pedro and off-loads two bodies that weren't on the manifest the L.A. force is placed on alert. An old sailor tells Mike that the deaths were the work of a vampire who rounded the horn on this last voyage of the season. Mike is skeptical until the sailor pulls out a copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula and suggests that Mike might find answers in there. As Mike delves deeper into the mystery he is distracted: by his mother's serious illness and his love for Jennifer Fitzgerald, the woman he hopes to marry. But he must set all this aside. Having finished the book, Mike realizes that the old sailor is right: a vampire hunts the streets of Los Angeles. Conventional police work and his skill with his firearms will no longer be enough. But what will it take to get his fellow officers to believe and how will Mike protect those he loves from the horrors of night when L. A. Screams?

The Wedding Season

By: Su Dharmapala

Meet Shani - she's thirty-two, single and has a job to die for. And she likes her life just the way it is, thank you! So why do her family and friends insist on trying to convince her that the only way to the perfect life is meeting the perfect man? When Shani's horoscope miraculously reveals that now is the best time of her life for marriage, her mother decides to take control. As the Sri Lankan wedding season opens she turns a deaf ear to Shani's protests and arranges a parade of 101 potential grooms, in the hope that her shamefully unmarried daughter will salvage the family honour by finally finding Mr Right. But true life, like true love, can get very complicated. Amidst a riot of hilarious dates with would-be husbands, Shani has to cope with a minor Machiavelli at work, a house that is literally falling down around her ears, and a neurotic mother with serious cultural baggage. Worst of all, her best friend, who seems to have it all, is sliding into depression, and Shani seems powerless to help. Through a flurry of curry, cricket, sarees, and sumptuous ceremonies, Shani comes to learn that love comes in many disguises - and degrees of satisfaction - and that life is a one-shot game, even if you do believe in reincarnation.

Harmonic Analysis And Fractal Analysis Over Local Fields And Applications

By: Weiyi Su

This book is a monograph on harmonic analysis and fractal analysis over local fields. It can also be used as lecture notes/textbook or as recommended reading for courses on modern harmonic and fractal analysis. It is as reliable as Fourier Analysis on Local Fields published in 1975 which is regarded as the first monograph in this research field.The book is self-contained, with wide scope and deep knowledge, taking modern mathematics (such as modern algebra, point set topology, functional analysis, distribution theory, and so on) as bases. Specially, fractal analysis is studied in the viewpoint of local fields, and fractal calculus is established by pseudo-differential operators over local fields. A frame of fractal PDE is constructed based on fractal calculus instead of classical calculus. On the other hand, the author does his best to make those difficult concepts accessible to readers, illustrate clear comparison between harmonic analysis on Euclidean spaces and that on local fields, and at the same time provide motivations underlying the new concepts and techniques. Overall, it is a high quality, up to date and valuable book for interested readers.

The Structure of Global Supply Chains

By: Panos Kouvelis,Ping Su

Global supply chain management is a core business process of the utmost strategic importance that all global firms have to manage. The Structure of Global Supply Chains provides a better understanding for the development of the right "footprint" of a global firm in its effort to supply its markets in environments of fast paced competition and tremendous uncertainty. The authors focus on the structure of global supply chains and the detailed choices involving the network of facilities at all stages of the supply chain in order to successfully execute the global business strategy. The main purpose of The Structure of Global Supply Chains is to go beyond an elementary exposition of global supply chain network design issues using the latest research to identify the multiplicity of factors that contribute to designing these networks for competitive advantage of the global firm, while at the same time exposing both the successful features and the challenges faced by decision support systems developed to address such decisions. The emphasis is on presenting approaches built on operations and supply chain modeling research and support tools based on academic and industrial research of the last two decades. The Structure of Global Supply Chains provides the reader with comprehensive answers to how should a global firm configure its network of facilities and what dynamic approaches to use to effectively reconfigure it in an effort to meet demand in global markets in a profit maximizing way of sustainable profitability and competitive advantage.

IBM DB2 Web Query for i: The Nuts and Bolts

By: Hernando Bedoya,Jim Bainbridge,Rob Bestgen,Mike Cain,Doug Mack,Simona Pacchiarini,Kathryn Steinbrink,Lin Lin Su,Kevin Trisko,IBM Redbooks

Business Intelligence (BI) is a broad term that relates to applications that analyze data to understand and act on the key metrics that drive profitability in an enterprise. Key to analyzing that data is providing fast, easy access to it while delivering it in formats or tools that best fit the needs of the user. At the core of any BI solution are user query and reporting tools that provide intuitive access to data supporting a spectrum of users from executives to "power users," from spreadsheet aficionados to the external Internet consumer. IBM® DB2® Web Query for i offers a set of modernized tools for a more robust, extensible, and productive reporting solution than the popular IBM Query for System i® tool (also known as IBM Query/400). IBM DB2 Web Query for i preserves investments in the reports that are developed with Query/400 by offering a choice of importing definitions into the new technology or continuing to run existing Query/400 reports as is. But, it also offers significant productivity and performance enhancements by leveraging the latest in DB2 for i query optimization technology. The DB2 Web Query for i product is a web-based query and report writing product that offers enhanced capabilities over the IBM Query for iSeries product (also commonly known as Query/400). IBM DB2 Web Query for i includes Query for iSeries technology to assist customers in their transition to DB2 Web Query. It offers a more modernized, Java based solution for a more robust, extensible, and productive reporting solution. DB2 Web Query provides the ability to query or build reports against data that is stored in DB2 for i (or Microsoft SQL Server) databases through browser-based user interface technologies: Build reports with ease through the web-based, ribbon-like InfoAssist tool that leverages a common look and feel that can extend the number of personnel that can generate their own reports. Simplify the management of reports by significantly reducing the number of report definitions that are required through the use of parameter driven reports. Deliver data to users in many different formats, including directly into spreadsheets, or in boardroom-quality PDF format, or viewed from the browser in HTML. Leverage advanced reporting functions, such as matrix reporting, ranking, color coding, drill-down, and font customization to enhance the visualization of DB2 data. DB2 Web Query offers features to import Query/400 definitions and enhance their look and functions. By using it, you can add OLAP-like slicing and dicing to the reports or view reports in disconnected mode for users on the go. This IBM Redbooks® publication provides a broad understanding of what can be done with the DB2 Web Query product. This publication is a companion of DB2 Web Query Tutorials, SG24-8378, which has a group of self-explanatory tutorials to help you get up to speed quickly.
