Understanding China’s System for Addressing Legislative Conflicts: Capacity Challenges and the Search for Legislative Harmony
Creators: name: Hand, Keith J.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2013

description: While the rapid adoption of legislation has played an important role in advancing China’s reform agenda, it has also produced a large number of legislative conflicts. This legislative disorder has posed challenges for China’s economic and legal modernization efforts. China addresses legislative conflicts primarily through a system of filing and review of legislation at different levels of government. Despite the severity of China’s legislative disorder, state organs with formal authority to annul or amend conflicting lower-level legislation rarely if ever exercise this authority. Citizens enjoy the right to raise proposals for the review of legislative conflicts, but central filing and review organs never respond to these proposals. On the other hand, the people’s courts, which have no formal authority to review legislation, engage in a form of limited judicial review when they choose the legislation to apply in individual cases. To explain such phenomena, we must recognize that the core problem shaping the design and operation of the filing and review system is a multidimensional problem of capacity. Legislative institutions have accommodated limited judicial review of legislation and empowered citizens to raise review proposals primarily because they lack the capacity to carry out their basic functions. These mechanisms should be understood as components of an integrated, multilayered system for supervising legislation. Understanding China’s system in this way reveals both likely limitations and opportunities in future reform efforts. Reforms are more likely to succeed if they acknowledge core capacity limitations, take account of existing patterns of institutional interaction, and effectively leverage the roles of courts and citizens to improve the capacity of the system as a whole. Specifically, reformers should explore ways to strengthen communication links between filing and review. organs and people’s courts, encourage citizens to raise concerns about legislative conflicts during the legislation drafting stage, and focus first on addressing conflicts involving lower-level legislation rather than on the sensitive and politicized issue of constitutional review.

Forgiven and Forgotten: The Republic of China in the United Nations War Crimes Commission
Creators: name: Lai, Wen-Wei
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2012

description: The United Nations War Crimes Commission (UNWCC) was set up in London during the Second World War to discuss war crimes-related issues. China, keen to have a say in any major issues of the war, actively participated in its work. To prove its status as one of the major powers among the Allies, China was particularly interested in establishing a sub-commission in China and extending the jurisdiction of the UNWCC to crimes committed by Japan before the war erupted in Europe in 1939. In Chungking, the Chinese-chaired Sub-commission discussed the treatment of Japanese war crimes, while the Chinese National Office was responsible for gathering relevant evidence. Although the UNWCC is generally thought to be of little relevance to the final arrangement of war crimes trials in Nuremberg, Tokyo, and elsewhere, it is of historical importance in that it was the first forum where war crimes issues were extensively discussed.

description: The magneto-electronic field effects in organic semiconductors at high magnetic fields are described by field-dependent mixing between singlet and triplet states of weakly bound charge carrier pairs due to small differences in their Landé g-factors that arise from the weak spin-orbit coupling in the material. In this work, we corroborate theoretical models for the high-field magnetoresistance of organic semiconductors, in particular of diodes made of the conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) at low temperatures, by conducting magnetoresistance measurements along with multi-frequency continuous-wave electrically detected magnetic resonance experiments. The measurements were performed on identical devices under similar conditions in order to independently assess the magnetic field-dependent spin-mixing mechanism, the so-called Δg mechanism, which originates from differences in the charge-carrier g-factors induced by spin-orbit coupling.

description: The patent laws of both China and the United States have joint infringement and indirect infringement doctrines, and both countries obey territoriality principles in applying intellectual property rights (IPRs). These doctrines and principles, however, are construed and applied differently on the two sides of the Pacific. This Article compares and contrasts the two legal regimes and identifies potentially significant gaps in patent coverage for patented but divisible systems that are practiced in separate legal jurisdictions.

description: We show several kinematical properties that are intrinsic to the Bianchi models with compact spatial sections. Especially, with spacelike hypersurfaces being closed, (A) no anisotropic expansion is allowed for Bianchi type V and VII(A\not=0), and (B) type IV and VI(A\not=0,1) does not exist. In order to show them, we put into geometric terms what is meant by spatial homogeneity and employ a mathematical result on 3-manifolds. We make clear the relation between the Bianchi type symmetry of space-time and spatial compactness, some part of which seem to be unnoticed in the literature. Especially, it is shown under what conditions class B Bianchi models do not possess compact spatial sections. Finally we briefly describe how this study is useful in investigating global dynamics in (3+1)-dimensional gravity.

description: We discuss diffractive photon-production of vector mesons in holographic QCD. At large $\sqrt{s}$, the QCD scattering amplitudes are reduced to the scattering of pair of dipoles exchanging a closed string or a pomeron. We use the holographic construction in AdS$_5$ to describe both the intrinsic dipole distribution in each hadron, and the pomeron exchange. Our results for the heavy meson photon-production are made explicit and compared to some existing experiments.

Speech, Structure, and Behavior on the Supreme Court of India
Creators: name: Chandrachud, Abhinav
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2012

description: This Article captures what can be termed as “structural” and “behavioral” features of the Indian Supreme Court’s decision-making process in speech cases. It demonstrates that speech cases are not a high priority on the docket of the Supreme Court of India, which is worrying in a liberal democracy. The Chief Justice of India participates less in these cases than he once had, and assigns these cases to smaller panels. Speech cases generate less debate and deliberation than before and engender fewer dissents and concurring opinions. The proportion of speech cases relative to the size of the court’s docket is also troublingly small. If sixty years of decision-making in speech cases on the Supreme Court of India were viewed as a seamless narrative, one could conclude that the Court has been ambivalent towards speech harboring neither a clear bias in favor of nor against speech.

description: The phenomenon of collective flow in relativistic heavy ion collisions is studied using the hadronic cascade model ARC. Direct comparison is made to data gathered at the Bevalac, for Au+Au at $p=1-2$ GeV/c. In contrast to the standard lore about the cascade model, collective flow is well described quantitatively without the need for explicit mean field terms to simulate the nuclear equation of state. Pion collective flow is in the opposite direction to nucleon flow as is that of anti-nucleons and other produced particles. Pion and nucleon flow are predicted at AGS energies also, where, in light of the higher baryon densities achieved, we speculate that equation of state effects may be observable.

Lifting the Veil of Words: An Analysis of the Efficacy of Chinese Takeover Laws and the Road to a Harmonious Society
Creators: name: Weng, Charlie Xiao-Chuan
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2012

description: Empirical evidence shows that takeovers are value-maximizing events for target firm shareholders and promote social efficiency. Takeovers are commonly thought to play a key role in reducing managerial slack in corporate governance through the replacement of inefficient management. Additionally, a multitude of economic literature indicates that synergy can result in the value of a combined firm that exceeds the sum of the values of two individual firms. But despite the potential for a value-creation event, takeovers rarely happen in China’s capital market. One reason for this phenomenon is that Chinese takeover laws have a chilling effect on potential corporate raiders. The pro-state-owned enterprise (SOE) approach of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) further deters potential takeovers. This pro-government approach comes at the cost of non-SOE shareholders’ opportunities for value maximization. Nonetheless, since the Chinese government’s policy focus has shifted from protecting state-owned assets to promoting social equity, we can expect the CSRC’s regulatory approach to undergo significant changes as well. And in accordance with the change in the government’s core values, many takeover provisions need to be amended to facilitate value creation events at both state-owned and privately-owned firms.

On the configuration space topology in general relativity

Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The configuration-space topology in canonical General Relativity depends on the choice of the initial data 3-manifold. If the latter is represented as a connected sum of prime 3-manifolds, the topology receives contributions from all configuration spaces associated to each individual prime factor. There are by now strong results available concerning the diffeomorphism group of prime 3-manifolds which are exploited to examine the topology of the configuration spaces in terms of their homotopy groups. We explicitly show how to obtain these for the class of homogeneous spherical primes, and communicate the results for all other known primes except the non-sufficiently large ones of infinite fundamental group.

When compared to currently realized crystals, a substantial improvement in the coupling between photons and phonons is found. For experimental verification, we implement a dimerized lattice in a silicon optomechanical nanobeam cavity and measure a vacuum coupling rate of $g_0/2π=1.7MHz$ between an optical resonance at $λ_{c} = 1545nm$ and a mechanical resonance at 1.14GHz.

The People’s Regulation: Citizens and Implementation of Law in China
Creators: name: Rooij, Benjamin Van
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2012

description: China has made a move towards society-based regulation, enabling citizens to aid in the implementation of regulatory law. This is a welcome development that may help to reduce the government’s problems in enforcing its laws. Societal forces have also had some success in improving regulatory efforts to mitigate risk. However, society-based regulation reforms have been halfhearted, as existing and recently introduced authoritarian restrictions obstruct citizens from becoming successful co-regulators. At its worst, China has developed a form of regulation by escalation, where ironically the exact same incentive structures for Chinese regulatory and judicial officials to prevent unrest also stimulate citizens to create instability as a successful strategy to get regulatory law implemented. And thus, China’s halfhearted approach to regulatory governance with its focus on stability may ultimately be destabilizing.

Comment on ``High Temperature Fermion Propagator -- Resummation and Gauge Dependence of the Damping Rate''

description: Baier et al. have reported the damping rate of long-wavelength fermionic excitations in high-temperature QED and QCD to be gauge-fixing-dependent even within the resummation scheme due to Braaten and Pisarski. It is shown that this problem is caused by the singular nature of the on-shell expansion of the fermion self-energy in the infra-red. Its regularization reveals that the alleged gauge dependence pertains to the residue rather than the pole of the fermion propagator, so that in particular the damping constant comes out gauge-independent, as it should.

description: Being able to probe electrolyte structures and ion mobility in nanometer confined cavities/pores is central for the fundamental understanding and steering of various processes in biologic and material systems. Here, we review how force probe experiments were utilized for studying interfacial physics at solid/liquid/solid interfaces. We discuss recent technological achievements and show how micro-to-nano and ultimately subnanometer confinement can be achieved and probed using the surface forces apparatus. We discuss ion-mobility and structuring in confined spaces during reactive and nonreactive conditions. This includes ion-layering and confinement induced effects, such as enhanced reactivity, decreased ion-mobility, electric double layer overlapping and more. We limit the discussion to electrochemical and ionic liquid systems, yet we discuss the broader perspective how to develop the technique further, and how recent advances can already find new exciting applications, across sometimes unexpected fields. These range from studying physiologic processes to technologic application in catalysis, microfluidics, or geology.

description: The exciton system in double quantum well is considered under condition when the ground state is the spatially indirect exciton. At high pumping growth of the exciton concentration can lead to so significant increase of the indirect exciton energy that becomes equal to the direct exciton energy. Then further increase of pumping leads to formation of mixed direct - indirect exciton phase. A rough estimate of the exciton energy in the mixed phase explains puzzling features of some recent exciton measurements. An experiment that would reveal main characteristic features of the mixed phase is suggested.

Case Comment: Greenmail, Japanese Style

description: This comment analyzes the Janome Sewing Machine case, a high profile 2006 judgment of the Supreme Court of Japan on the personal liability of corporate directors for engaging in an elaborate scheme to repurchase company shares held by an undesirable shareholder with links to organized crime. The litigation offers insight into a rather dark period in Japanese corporate history and provides a platform for considering larger questions about Japan’s institutional incentive structures and law enforcement climate. While the conduct at issue in the case, typically known as “greenmail,” seems to have abated in Japan, critics may argue that it has been replaced by its white collar equivalent-short-term oriented private equity and hedge fund activism. Thus, the comment concludes with a reference to a more recent, controversial decision of the Japanese Supreme Court, Bull-Dog Sauce, endorsing as a valid defensive measure target management’s large-scale payoff to a Wall Street investment fund to thwart its tender offer for the firm.

We compute the influence of these operators on the Schwarzschild solution using perturbation theory. All (time reversal invariant) operators of dimension six are included (dimension four operators don't alter the Schwarzschild solution). Corrections to the relation between the Hawking temperature and the black hole mass are found. The entropy is calculated using the Gibbons-Hawking prescription for the Euclidean path integral and using naive thermodynamic reasoning. These two methods agree, however, the entropy is not equal to 1/4 the area of the horizon.

Pursuing Livelihoods and Re-imagining Development in the Oil Palm Regions of the Guadalcanal Plains, Solomon Islands
Creators: name: Pendeverana, Lincy
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: Abstract In the 1970s, the British Solomon Islands Protectorate introduced large scale plantations in the Guadalcanal Plains (Tathimboko) as vehicles for development. The Guadalcanal Plains thus hosted an oil palm industry operated by the UK Commonwealth Development Corporation (CDC) until its closure in 1999 due to the Guadalcanal conflict (1998-2003). After the conflict, oil palm production continued under a new investor, New Britain Palm Oil Limited (NBPOL) and its subsidiary, the Guadalcanal Plains Palm Oil Limited (GPPOL). Reconfigured terms of engagement between company, landowner, and state and provincial governments ensued. This thesis, based on a comparative study of four villages in the Guadalcanal Plains, offers a detailed analysis of the livelihood experiences of a migrant (lavithaghe) community, two landowning communities and a 'frontier' community in relation to their terms of engagement with the oil palm industry and the livelihood trajectories that have resulted. The thesis begins by exploring the shifting development debates that have informed thinking about Third World societies since the 1960s. Further analysis focuses on the shortfalls of modernisation and underdevelopment theories and draws on post-development perspectives as a launching pad for an alternative imagining of development in rural Third World societies. The study demonstrates that rural communities in the Guadalcanal Plains are not passive recipients of development. Rather, they proactively shape their own development trajectories by resisting, adjusting, modifying and accommodating development and change processes in ways that fulfil their livelihood needs. Applying an adapted sustainable livelihoods approach/framework in the case study sites reveals the complexity of livelihoods in a rural community-oil palm industry nexus. The oil palm industry and membership of local landowning units (mamata) have a special association with the asymmetrical nature of access to livelihood assets in the Guadalcanal Plains. But the symbiotic interactions between social relations, institutions (formal and informal), organisations (formal and informal) and access produce diversified livelihood portfolios that include both oil palm and non-oil palm activities, underpinned by both market and non-market practices (a hybrid system). These diversified livelihood practices are embedded in the local context of the Guadalcanal Plains ('social embeddedness') and are performed to maintain relationships (relationality) between different actors to widen access and create sustainable livelihood outcomes. The study redefines concepts of sustainable development, provides empirical support for an extended sustainable livelihoods framework that gives greater emphasis to cultural and political factors, and contributes more broadly towards scholarship on alternative development imaginings.

description: Even though connectivity services have been introduced in many of the most recent car models, access to vehicle data is currently limited due to its proprietary nature. The European project AutoMat has therefore developed an open Marketplace providing a single point of access for brand-independent vehicle data. Thereby, vehicle sensor data can be leveraged for the design and implementation of entirely new services even beyond trafficrelated applications (such as hyper-local traffic forecasts). This paper presents the architecture for a Vehicle Big Data Marketplace as enabler of cross-sectorial and innovative vehicle data services. Therefore, the novel Common Vehicle Information Model (CVIM) is defined as an open and harmonized data model, allowing the aggregation of brand-independent and generic data sets. Within this work the realization of a prototype CVIM and Marketplace implementation is presented. The two use-cases of local weather prediction and road quality measurements are introduced to show the applicability of the AutoMat concept and prototype to non-automotive application

description: Sound source localization has been an important research topic in the acoustic signal processing community because of its wide use in many acoustic applications, including speech separation, speech enhancement, sound event detection, automatic speech recognition, automated camera steering, and virtual reality. In the recent decade, there is a growing interest in the research of sound source localization using higher-order microphone arrays, which are capable of recording and analyzing the soundfield over a target spatial area. This thesis studies a novel source feature called the relative harmonic coefficient, that easily estimated from the higher-order microphone measurements. This source feature has direct applications for sound source localization due to its sole dependence on the source position. This thesis proposes two novel sound source localization algorithms using the relative harmonic coefficients: (i) a low-complexity single source localization approach that localizes the source' elevation and azimuth separately. This approach is also appliable to acoustic enhancement for the higher-order microphone array recordings; (ii) a semi-supervised multi-source localization algorithm in a noisy and reverberant environment. Although this approach uses a learning schema, it still has a strong potential to be implemented in practice because only a limited number of labeled measurements are required. However, this algorithm has an inherent limitation as it requires the availability of single-source components. Thus, it is unusable in scenarios where the original recordings have limited single-source components (e.g., multiple sources simultaneously active). To address this issue, we develop a novel MUSIC framework based approach that directly uses simultaneous multi-source recordings. This developed MUSIC approach uses robust measurements of relative sound pressure from the higher-order microphone and is shown to be more suitable in noisy environments than the traditional MUSIC method. While the proposed approaches address the source localization problems, in practice, the broader problem of source localization has some more common challenges, which have received less attention. One such challenge is the common assumption of the sound sources being omnidirectional, which is hardly the case with a typical commercial loudspeaker. Therefore, in this thesis, we analyze the broader problem of analyzing directional characteristics of the commercial loudspeakers by deriving equivalent theoretical acoustic models. Several acoustic models are investigated, including plane waves decomposition, point source decomposition, and mixed source decomposition. We finally conduct extensive experimental examinations to see which acoustic model has more similar characteristics with commercial loudspeakers.

description: We compute the effects of anomalous gauge-boson couplings at high-energy hadron colliders using next-to-leading order $SU(2) \times SU(2)$ chiral perturbation theory. By comparing the yields from the universal $p^2$ terms with those arising from new physics at order $p^4$, we estimate the sensitivity of the SSC and LHC to the indirect effects of electroweak symmetry breaking.

Model for asymptotic $D$-state parameters of light nuclei: Application to $^4He$

description: A simple method for calculating the asymptotic $D$ state observables for light nuclei is suggested. The method exploits the dominant clusters of the light nuclei. The method is applied to calculate the $^4He$ asymptotic $D$ to $S$ normalization ratio $ρ^α$ and the closely related $D$ state parameter $D_2^α$. The study predicts a correlation between $D_2^α$ and $B_α$, and between $ρ^α$ and $B_α$, where $B_α$ is the binding energy of $^4He$. The present study yields $ρ^α\simeq -0.14$ and $D_2^α\simeq -0.12$ fm$^2$ consistent with the correct experimental $η^D$ and the binding energies of the deuteron, triton, and the $α$ particle, where $η^d$ is the deuteron $D$ state to $S$ state normalization ratio.

Slow Avalanche: Internationalizing the Renminbi and Liberalizing China’s Capital Account
Creators: name: Chang, Terry E.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2012

description: China finds itself in the unprecedented situation of internationalizing its currency while liberalizing its partially-closed capital account. This article discusses the steps, the risks and the predictions of such an unusual process. Steps: In its quest for capital account liberalization, China has adopted a four- pronged approach: (i) relaxing restrictions on inbound and outbound foreign direct investment, (2) expanding RMB trade settlement, (3) allowing the proliferation of RMB-denominated offshore financial products in Hong Kong (such as “dim sum” bonds), and (4) permitting new methods of repatriating offshore RMB for onshore investment (such as the RQFII scheme). Risks: Certain hazards still lie ahead in the liberalization process, including issues related to: liquidity and currency risk, concentration of credit risk, “hot money” and illegal funds, the complexity of interactions for multiple offshore RMB hubs, and asymmetry in currency demand accelerating the accumulation of foreign exchange reserves. Predictions: The Mainland government will likely seek to expand the use of the RMB specifically within the Asian region, among its fellow BRICS countries, as well as to the financial capitals in the West. Yuan appreciation will occur hand in hand with a slow metamorphosis from an export-driven economy to a consumer-driven model. Gradually, foreign countries will be encouraged to hold more yuan in their foreign reserves as their confidence in China’s financial and banking systems is improved through the development of a deposit insurance system and greater transparency as to legal protections available to them, and as more long term fixed-income financial products denominated in RMB for foreign investors are introduced.

description: We discuss the structure of a gravitational euclidean instanton obtained through coupling of gravity to electromagnetism. Its topology at fixed $t$ is $S^1\times S^2$. This euclidean solution can be interpreted as a tunnelling to a hyperbolic space (baby universe) at $t=0$ or alternatively as a static wormhole that joins the two asymptotically flat spaces of a Reissner--Nordström type solution with $M=0$.

description: Zur Modellierung von Krankenhausinformationssystemen wird am Institut für Medizinische Informatik, Statistik und Epidemiologie (IMISE) der Universität Leipzig das Metamodell 3LGM2 entwickelt. Dieses soll durch eine graphische Darstellung des Informationssystems das Verständnis für die Funktion des Systems, sowie dessen Wartbarkeit und Erweiterbarkeit unterstützen. Um die Modellierung von Informationssystemen mit Hilfe des Metamodells 3LGM2 zu vereinfachen, wurde vor nunmehr drei Jahren damit begonnen, eine Software zu entwickeln, welche den Informationsmanager bei dieser Aufgabe unterstützt. Diese, der so genannte 3LGM2-Baukasten, ist nun zu einem sehr umfangreichen Werkzeug angewachsen, mit dem es möglich ist, komplexe Systeme zu modellieren. Zu den umfangreichen Funktionen gehören u.a. die Darstellung des modellierten Informationssystems über verschiedene Ansichten, das Anfertigen von Analysen und den Nutzer unterstützende Funktionen, wie das Importieren und Exportieren von Modellen und eine umfassende Online-Hilfe.

description: Toric Bézier patches generalize the classical tensor-product triangular and rectangular Bézier surfaces, extensively used in $CAGD$. The construction of toric Bézier surfaces corresponding to multi-sided convex hulls for known boundary mass-points with integer coordinates (in particular for trapezoidal and hexagonal convex hulls) is given. For these toric Bézier surfaces, we find approximate minimal surfaces obtained by extremizing the quasi-harmonic energy functional. We call these approximate minimal surfaces as the quasi-harmonic toric Bézier surfaces. This is achieved by imposing the vanishing condition of gradient of the quasi-harmonic functional and obtaining a set of linear constraints on the unknown inner mass-points of the toric Bézier patch for the above mentioned convex hull domains, under which they are quasi-harmonic toric Bézier patches. This gives us the solution of the \textit{Plateau toric Bézier problem} for these illustrative instances for known convex hull domains.
