description: Показано определяющее значение этногеографических факторов в развитии региональных и глобальных территориально-политических процессов, которые в обобщённом виде рассмотрены как глобализационные процессы. Книга может быть полезна при определении перспективного направления развития государства, для обоснования эффективной внутренней региональной и межнациональной политики и для упрочнения связей с потенциальными и реальными союзниками с целью сохранения и укрепления суверенитета страны; в научном плане для обоснования общественно-географической сущности глобализации и промежуточной роли регионализации в процессе унификации этносферы; в применении методики определения межэтнической напряженности с целью выявления потенциальных зон (регионов) межэтнической напряженности и разработке соответствующих рекомендаций для их локализации и предотвращения межэтнических конфликтов; в осуществлении мониторинга по отдельным регионам страны и мира в целом с целью выявления и предотвращения потенциальных очагов межэтнических конфликтов, укрепления государственности и успешного противостояния пагубным воздействиям глобализации.
description: Shown the decisive importance of ethno-geographical factors in the development of regional and global territorial-political processes, which in the aggregate is considered as global processes. The book can be useful for identifying promising directions of development of the state for substantiation of effective internal regional and international policy and to strengthen business relations with potential and actual allies, with the aim of preserving and strengthening the sovereignty of the country; in scientific terms to justify the socio-geographical nature of globalization and the intermediate role of regionalization in the process of unification of the ethnosphere; in the application of the methodology of inter-ethnic tension with the aim of identifying potential zones (regions) of ethnic tensions and the development of appropriate recommendations for their containment and prevention of ethnic conflicts; in the implementation of the monitoring in some regions of the country and the world at large to identify and prevent potential sources of ethnic conflicts, strengthening of statehood and the successful opposition to the harmful effects of globalization.

Asignifying Semiotics as Proto-Theory of Singularity: Drawing is Not Writing and Architecture does Not Speak
Creators: name: Hauptmann, Deborah

Publisher: name: FOOTPRINT
Year: 2014

description: We have recently witnessed a confession of a fellow architect with which we fully identify. We, too, belong to the generation educated under the semiotic regime, which – as we will argue in our introduction – has run its course. We also believe that the idea of ‘architecture as language’ might have been useful as an analytical tool but never as a design mechanism. After all, creativity comes first and routinisation follows. As the title of Footprint 14 suggests, this is a general plea to have done with the hegemony of the linguistic signifier. Signifying semiotics is but a fraction of a much broader asignifying semiotics. We propose to approach the issue qua Spinozist practice of ethology, defined as the study of capacities, or – as we would like to think of it – a proto-theory of singularity. This is as much an ethical or political problem as it is an aesthetic one. It concerns what the cultural critic Steven Shaviro recently qualified as a primordial form of sentience that is non-intentional, non-correlational, and anoetic. The Affective Turn will be measured against the unavoidable Digital Turn. We will conclude by reversing the famous Wittgensteinian dictum whereby what we cannot speak about we must not pass over in silence. A brief summary of contributions, which are by no means limited to architecture, is concluded with a politically charged epilogue. The very last paragraph of the epilogue reveals the pink-on-pink reference.

      Jackson Luke Carver: Feasibility Study of a Home-based Exercise Intervention Program for Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Receiving Androgen-Deprivation Therapy
      Under supervision of Dr. Erik Hanson
      Purpose: To assess the feasibility of home-based exercise in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Methods: Men with mCRPC undergoing ADT completed body composition, muscular function, physical function, and cardiorespiratory fitness assessments before and after a 12-week home-based exercise intervention. Adherence to the intervention was monitored using a Garmin vivosmart HR device. Changes in fitness parameters were assessed using paired-samples t-tests. Results: Of the 10 men who completed baseline testing, 70% completed post-testing. Each of these men adhered to greater than 75% of planned walking and resistance training sessions. Significant improvements were found in lower body strength (p=0.023) and cardiorespiratory fitness (p=0.013). Conclusion: A home-based exercise intervention appears to be feasible in men with mCRPC undergoing ADT.

description: Approaches to content moderation online draw from models used to manage behavior in the offline world—undesirable content and behaviors are identified and sanctioned are issued as a means of deterrence. Recent discussions in both offline and online contexts have emphasized the limits of a sanction-based approach and highlighted the gains that would flow from building self-regulatory models within which users are encouraged to take personal responsibility for following rules. Our concern is whether a procedural justice model—a model which has increasingly been adopted in offline legal settings—can be used for content moderation online, and furthermore, if the benefits of this self-regulatory model persist in an online setting where algorithms play a more central role. We review recent studies which demonstrate that it is possible to promote self-governance by having platforms employ enforcement procedures that users experience as being procedurally just. The challenge of such procedures is that at least some of their features—having voice, receiving an explanation, treatment with respect—appear to be in conflict with a reliance on algorithms used by many online platforms. This review of the literature suggests that there is not necessarily an inherent conflict between the use of algorithms and the user experience of procedural justice. Drawing upon findings from recent empirical work in this space, we argue that the necessary antecedents for procedural justice can be built into algorithmic decision making used in platforms’ content moderation efforts. Doing so, however, requires a nuanced understanding of how algorithms are viewed—both positively and negatively—in building trust during these decision making processes.

description: We construct a family of affinoids in the Lubin-Tate perfectoid space and their formal models such that the middle cohomology of their reductions realizes the local Langlands correspondence and the local Jacquet-Langlands correspondence for the simple supercuspidal representations. The reductions of the formal models are isomorphic to the perfections of some Artin-Schreier varieties, whose cohomology realizes primitive Galois representations. We show also the Tate conjecture for Artin-Schreier varieties associated to quadratic forms.

description: This paper presents a detailed explication of the main tenets of Félix Guattari’s theorisation of asignifying semiotics in the context of the mixed semiotics that he developed in the 1970s and which extended throughout his career. This foundational work on the relationship between asignification and signifying semiologies, and the micropolitical necessity of escaping from meaning in the broadest sense encompassing individuation, double articulation, and limited subjectivation, is contextualised in terms of information theory, in the work of Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver, as well in terms of Roland Barthes’ semiology and suggestive extra-structural conception of signifiers without signifieds or obtuse meaning. Guattari’s favourite examples of asignifying technomaterial info-networks and mushrooms sprouting on manure are both discussed.

description: We consider stationary axially symmetric black holes with the background scalar field and test particles that can interact with this field directly. Then, particle collision near a black hole can lead to the unbounded energy $% E_{c.m.}$ in the centre of mass frame (contrary to some recent claims in literature). This happens always if one of particles is neutral whereas another one has nonzero scalar charge. Kinematically, two cases occur here. (i) A neutral particle approaches the horizon with the speed of light while the velocity of the charged one remains separated from it (this is direct analogue of the situation with collision of geodesic particles.). (ii) Both particles approach the horizon with the speed almost equal to that of light but with different rates. As a result, in both cases the relative velocity also approaches the speed of light, so that $E_{c.m.}$ $\ $becomes unbounded. We consider also a case when the metric coefficient $g_{ϕϕ}\rightarrow 0$ near a black hole. Then, overlap between the geometric factor and the presence of the scalar field opens additional scenarios in which unbounded energy $E_{c.m.}$ is possible as well. We give a full list of possible scenarios of high-energy collisions for the situations considered.

description: Laser‐induced forward transfer (LIFT) is a rapid laser‐patterning technique for high‐throughput combinatorial synthesis directly on glass slides. A lack of automation and precision limits LIFT applications to simple proof‐of‐concept syntheses of fewer than 100 compounds. Here, an automated synthesis instrument is reported that combines laser transfer and robotics for parallel synthesis in a microarray format with up to 10 000 individual reactions cm−2. An optimized pipeline for amide bond formation is the basis for preparing complex peptide microarrays with thousands of different sequences in high yield with high reproducibility. The resulting peptide arrays are of higher quality than commercial peptide arrays. More than 4800 15‐residue peptides resembling the entire Ebola virus proteome on a microarray are synthesized to study the antibody response of an Ebola virus infection survivor. Known and unknown epitopes that serve now as a basis for Ebola diagnostic development are identified. The versatility and precision of the synthesizer is demonstrated by in situ synthesis of fluorescent molecules via Schiff base reaction and multi‐step patterning of precisely definable amounts of fluorophores. This automated laser transfer synthesis approach opens new avenues for high‐throughput chemical synthesis and biological screening.
The Birthing of Things: Bergson as a Reader of Lucretius
Creators: name: Healy, Patrick
Publisher: name: FOOTPRINT
Year: 2014

description: I examine, in this short paper, the work of Henri Bergson on Lucretius first published in 1884, and argue for its vital significance in understanding the development of his philosophical thinking. This publication was to serve as an introduction to extracts from Lucretius, for his students at Clermont-Ferrand, with a commentary and notes on the poetry, philosophy, the physics, language and text of his poem De Rerum Natura. In the published volume most of the overview of Lucretius by Bergson is given in the long preface, and this is followed by extracts in Latin, without translation into French, with comments on lines and individual words, which covers all the books of the original poem. By 1899 it had gone to a third edition, and was still in print until the 1960's. Copies today are very difficult to obtain, and only recently has a full electronic version become available on the Internet Archive, to which readers are here directly referred.

Grappling with money: a study of fundraising practices of NCAA wrestling coaches
Creators: name: Roberts, Lee H.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: A shift in institutional priorities related to enhancing revenue-generating sport programs combined with economic factors has driven the elimination of many men's programs. The purpose of this study is to explore fundraising practices of top NCAA wrestling coaches to determine strategies that programs can implement to encourage sustainability initiatives. Coaches can support their own budgets by raising financial support of their program which will eliminate the budgetary pressure paramount to the decision to eliminate a sport. Ten NCAA Division I wrestling coaches were identified as the preeminent fundraisers in their field. In order to determine why people give to wrestling and the fundraising strategies of these coaches, interviews were conducted. The interviews were coded and analyzed for common themes. These themes and their sub-categories are discussed in order to provide a foundation for all coaches to implement fundraising initiatives of their own.
War, Trade and Desire: Urban Design and the Counter Public Spheres of Bangkok
Creators: name: McGrath, Brian
Publisher: name: FOOTPRINT
Year: 2013

description: This paper analyses an emergent public sphere in Bangkok in order to reveal the gap between ideals of public space as representation of power, nationhood, and modernity, versus its social production in everyday political struggles. The setting for political demonstrations recently shifted from royalist-nationalist Ratchadamnoen Avenue to the Ratchaprasong intersection, the heart of Bangkok’s shopping district. Ratchadamnoen, formerly a stage-set for royalist and nationalist pomp, has been continuously occupied for political uprisings. In contrast, as the political base of protest in Thailand widened, the glittering shopping malls at Ratchaprasong became a new site of protest, fuelled by urban and rural working poor who sensed they could not afford to partake in Bangkok’s phantasmagorical splendours. The paper argues that in following Bangkok’s historical cycles of blood and massacre in the street lies the possibility of finding new forms of urban design and a public sphere not yet imagined in the West.

Sample Out-Of-Sample Inference Based on Wasserstein Distance

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We present a novel inference approach that we call Sample Out-of-Sample (or SOS) inference. The approach can be used widely, ranging from semi-supervised learning to stress testing, and it is fundamental in the application of data-driven Distributionally Robust Optimization (DRO). Our method enables measuring the impact of plausible out-of-sample scenarios in a given performance measure of interest, such as a financial loss. The methodology is inspired by Empirical Likelihood (EL), but we optimize the empirical Wasserstein distance (instead of the empirical likelihood) induced by observations. From a methodological standpoint, our analysis of the asymptotic behavior of the induced Wasserstein-distance profile function shows dramatic qualitative differences relative to EL. For instance, in contrast to EL, which typically yields chi-squared weak convergence limits, our asymptotic distributions are often not chi-squared. Also, the rates of convergence that we obtain have some dependence on the dimension in a non-trivial way but remain controlled as the dimension increases.
A Tentative Approach to Mapping Street Space: A Case Study of Chinese Central Urban Districts

Year: 2013

description: This paper focuses on exploring a quantitative approach to mapping street space. Characteristics of street space can hardly be described and explained using only the traditional architectural forms of street space. The difficulty arises because of the lack of relevance between these forms and people’s activities in them. This phenomenon presents a challenge to mapping methods. Expanding mapping elements is one viable and ongoing path. Which element could be an effective one and how it should be measured and mapped, are vital questions. Interface signs have been selected as the experimental elements, with an area of central Nanjing selected as the research sample. Database and statistics of interface signs and pedestrian flows have been established and inserted into the GIS (Geographical Information System) where a series of correlation analyses between basic mappings and pedestrian flows are carried out.

Engineering Interfaces in Polycrystalline CdTe Solar Cells with High carrier Concentration
Creators: name: Good, Brian
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Arsenic doping of cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells has been a subject of increasing interest in the CdTe community. The higher hole densities compared to Cu doping allow for higher built-in potentials and thus higher open circuit voltage (Voc). However, incorporation of As in CdTe absorbers comes with its own set of challenges, and Vocs in real devices have not reached the values that modeling shows to be possible. Arsenic is known to self-compensate in CdTe; as hole densities increase, the formation of donor defects becomes more thermodynamically favorable, compensating the AsTe acceptors. Additionally, with a more highly doped absorber, device performance becomes more dependent on interface parameters such as emitter doping, conduction band offset (CBO), and interface recombination velocity. It therefore becomes critical to optimize the interface and the region surrounding it to minimize recombination effects. In this thesis, methods of engineering both sides of the front interface in CdTe solar cells are discussed. First, the stability of different transparent conducting oxide (TCO) layers are investigated to assess their resilience to various CdTe processing conditions. Maintaining high emitter doping such that ND(emitter) >> NA(absorber) is critical, and it is shown that the electron density of the commonly used emitter layer MgZnO (MZO) is unstable under high temperatures and oxidizing environments. The addition of Ga to MZO is shown to improve the stability. The absorber side of the interface is then discussed, with device modeling showing the impact of compensating donors in the near-interface region of the CdTe absorber. It is suggested that As incorporation be significantly reduced in this portion of the device. To this end, experimental work is presented which has succeeded in inhibiting As accumulation at the front interface through annealing of the initially undoped portion of the absorber. Larger initial grain sizes are correlated with reduced interfacial As, improved junction quality, and higher average Voc. By maintaining a highly doped emitter and managing the absorber doping near the interface, I present possible pathways toward bridging the gap between modeling and experiment in CdTe device performance.
The Importance of Recognition for Equal Representation in Participatory Processes: Lessons from Husby

description: Despite the ambition to involve people on more equal terms, participation often still means that the audience is involved in clearly demarcated parts of the process and attempts to develop more deliberative democratic processes in urban planning often fail due to unequal representation in the participatory process. While sharing the general idea of the value of participatory processes, we will investigate some problematic features involved and suggest how some of these can be remedied. We employ the concept of recognition to analyse the conditions for public participation in a recent case of urban planning in the Stockholm suburb of Husby. This case is particularly interesting as it clearly demonstrates the impact of globalisation on local participatory processes. The results show the importance of broad recognition for equal representation in participatory processes, and the need for a plurality of public spheres to support long-term participation in the development of the common urban space.

CP violation in the extension of SM with a complex singlet scalar and vector quarks

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We consider the simplest extension of the SM with a complex singlet and a pair of heavy doublet vector quarks, the so-called cSMCS model. In this model, the CP violation can emerge spontaneously as a consequence of the time-dependent phase of the complex singlet vacuum expectation value and the mass mixing of the SM and heavy vector quarks. In our model, the CP-violating time-dependent phase depends on the Higgs field within the bubble-wall via the Higgs-singlet coupling that can directly explain the observed baryon-to-entropy ratio $\sim 9\times 10^{-11}$. Additionally, as a result of the mixing between vector quarks and SM quarks, the tree level Flavour Changing Neutral Currents and the charged-current decay channels $t' \to Wb, \, Zt, \, h_{i} t$ and $b' \to Wt, \, Zb, \, h_{i} b$ would arise that are well constrained by experimental data. We investigate the implications of these constraints on the total cross-section for the production of heavy vector quark pairs via $pp \to t'\bar{t'}$ and $pp \to b'\bar{b'}$ channels and obtain the bounds on the heavy quark masses for this model. Accordingly, we show the contribution of these heavy quarks in the Higgs bosons signal strength, $\mathcal{R}_{γγ}$, as well as corrections to the gauge boson propagators.

Cooperatives, Control or Compromise? The Changing Role of Participation in Norwegian Housing

description: What does it mean to participate? Participation used to be an ideological pursuit, conducted for the greater good of society; today, however, the motives and intentions behind it are not so straightforward. This paper presents examples of community participation in Norwegian housing, through which early egalitarian impulses can be seen to clash with the more recent intentions of private developers and a public desire for detached family homes. The situation is, however, changing: desirable development land is running out as the Norwegian population grows – surely we must participate again, but with whom and to what end?

Infrastructural Critique. The Upside-Down of the Bottom-Up: A Case Study on the IBA Berlin 84/87

Publisher: name: FOOTPRINT
Year: 2013

description: Participation in planning is a logical consequence of the democratisation of society due to the social and cultural changes related to modernism. Anarchistic participation, as in Autogestion, within a development process, is a critical utopian alternative draft to existing power structures. The participatory turn represented by the International Building Exhibition Berlin 1987 (IBA) meant the institutionalisation of these utopian ideas, resulting in a heterotopian notion of participation instrumentalised by governing and economic forces. The most important aspect to our argument is that participation is a matter of critique – with critique as the very core of the modern understanding of progress – and thus enabling forms of improvement in planning, regulating and governing with architectural and urbanistic means. Those means simply embody a specific form of resisting critique and certain shifts in the structures of governing revealing an infrastructural critique which both re-forms the elements and the relations of what is to be resisted.

Many-body theories for negative kinetic energy systems

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the author's previous works, it is derived from the Dirac equation that particles can have negative kinetic energy (NKE) solutions, and they should be treated on an equal footing as the positive kinetic energy (PKE) solutions. More than one NKE particles can make up a stable system by means of interactions between them and such a system has necessarily negative temperature. Thus, many-body theories for NKE systems are desirable. In this work, the many-body theories for NKE systems are presented. They are Thomas-Fermi method, Hohenberg-Kohn theorem, Khon-Sham self-consistent equations, and Hartree-Fock self-consistent equations. They are established imitating the theories for PKE systems. In each theory, the formalism of both zero temperature and finite negative temperature are given. In order to verify that tunneling electrons are of NKE and real momentum, an experiment scenario is suggested that lets PKE electrons collide with tunneling electrons.

These covers are analogues of the Giulietti-Korchmáros curve, which covers the Hermitian curve and is maximal over a base field extension. We show that the maximality of these curves implies that of certain ray class field extensions of each of the Deligne-Lusztig curves. Moreover, we show that the Giulietti-Korchmáros curve is equal to the above-mentioned ray class field extension of the Hermitian curve.

Financed by the German BMW group and realised by the Solomon Guggenheim Foundation, the project addresses issues of contemporary urban life in the form of a ‘mobile laboratory’ with an explicit emphasis on participatory forms of urban intervention. The Lab’s temporary residence in Berlin in 2012 encountered fierce protests from residents and activist groups. I revisit the ensuing public debates and discuss the impact they had on the project. Drawing on in-depth interviews with people involved in the Lab the various notions of participation underlying the project are examined. It is shown that the Lab generated new and unexpected encounters and individual experiences. However, for solving actual problems the debates and experiments held at the Lab were too general, too exclusive and too short-lived to be of lasting relevance.

From adolescent schooling to adult health: school experiences, contextual disadvantage, and inflammation
Creators: name: Schorpp, Kristen Marie

description: Extensive research has identified the widespread benefits of positive academic and social experiences on adolescent well-being, but it remains unknown whether such experiences within the school context affect future physiological functioning. Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (1994-2006), this study examined the longitudinal relation between adolescent school experiences, school contextual disadvantage, and a physiological indicator of inflammation (C-reactive protein) in young adulthood. Results from ordinal logistic regression analysis provide evidence for the protective effect of academic achievement, cognitive aptitude, and extracurricular involvement on young adult C-reactive protein levels. Furthermore, school-level socioeconomic disadvantage moderated these associations, such that adolescents in contexts of high socioeconomic disadvantage experienced greater benefits from high academic achievement and school connectedness compared to adolescents in schools of lower socioeconomic disadvantage. These results are the first to identify the significant relation between adolescent schooling and physiological functioning, and also illuminate the potential for positive school experiences to promote individual resilience among adolescents in disadvantaged school contexts.
An Evolving Spacetime Metric Induced by a `Static' Source

description: In a series of recent papers we developed a formulation of general relativity in which spacetime and the dynamics of matter evolve with a Poincaré invariant parameter $τ$. In this paper, we apply the formalism to derive the metric induced by a `static' event evolving uniformly along its $t$-axis at the spatial origin ${\mathbf x} = 0$. The metric is shown to vary with $t$ and $τ$, as well as spatial distance $r$, taking its maximum value for a test particle at the retarded time $τ= t - r/c$. In the resulting picture, an event localized in space and time produces a metric field similarly localized, where both evolve in $τ$. We first derive this metric as a solution to the wave equation in linearized field theory, and discuss its limitations by studying the geodesic motion it produces for an evolving event. By then examining this solution in the 4+1 formalism, which poses an initial value problem for the metric under $τ$-evolution, we clarify these limitations and indicate how they may be overcome in a solution to the full nonlinear field equations.
Low-energy electromagnetic radiation as an indirect probe of black-hole evaporation

description: We study the influence of black-hole evaporation on light propagation. The framework employed is based on the non-linear QED effective action at one-loop level. We show that the light-cone condition is modified for low-energy radiation due to black-hole evaporation. We discuss conditions under which the phase velocity of this low-energy radiation is greater than $c$. We also compute the modified light-deflection angle, which turns out to be significantly different from the standard GR value for black-hole masses in the range $M_\text{Pl} \ll M \lesssim 10^{19}\;M_\text{Pl}$.

description: Transglutaminases (protein-glutamine:amine y-glutamyl- transferase, EC 2.3.2.13) are a family of calcium-dependent enzymes which catalyze an acyl transfer between glutamine residues and a wide variety of primary amines. When lysine acts as the acyl-acceptor substrate, α-glutamyl lysine isopeptide bond is formed. Isopeptide catalyzation results in protein cross-linkage which is prevalent throughout biological processes. Microbial transglutaminase (mTG) is a bacterial variant of the transglutaminase family, distinct by virtue of its calcium-independent catalysis of the isopeptidic bond. Furthermore, mTGs promiscuity in donor substrate preference highlights its biocatalytic potential. To realize the potential of the enzyme, a high-reactivity tag was necessary for protein labelling. To address this, an enzyme-coupled assay was developed to characterize peptides in the hopes of developing orthogonal substrates to facilitate mTG-mediated labelling and biocatalysis. The discovery of high-reactivity peptide tags allowed the realization of in vitro protein labelling- facilitated by mTG. The 7M48 peptide was fused to a test protein, where it was subsequently propargylated with propargyl amine to fluorescently label or immobilize a test protein. Although there are endless possibilities for in vitro bio-conjugation through mTG, proteolytic activation limits any in-cell labelling strategies with this enzyme. To circumvent this issue, development of an alternative bacterial enzyme, Bacillus subtilis transglutaminase (bTG), was chosen to replace mTG. bTG maintains the advantages associated with mTG but is expressed in its active form. Unlike mTG, there is limited preliminary research associated with the enzyme or its substrate scope. To better understanding substrate reactivity, a FRET-based assay was developed allows for the discovery of new high-reactivity peptides for bTG. These peptides were then used in labelling strategies to demonstrate the potential bTG-mediated bioconjugation. This strategy includes the added advantage of potential for in-cellulo labelling.

(Recovering) China’s Urban Rivers as Public Space

Year: 2013

description: This article focuses on the revered role rivers in China once held – in cartography, history, mythology, festivals, cities, and everyday life. It reviews and summarizes ‘hydraulic civilization’, taking cognizance of feng shui as it does so. Four historical cases testify to the fact that China’s great cities were founded on riverbanks and developed in tandem with floodplain dynamics. Over time, a tension developed between the civilizing force of the city and water’s natural energy. Industrialization saw a growing disconnection between waterways and settlements, with canalization fundamentally altering the nature of rivers, turning them into physical, cultural, and economic dividers, and upsetting natural habitats. Recently, there has been a rediscovery of Chinese riverscapes. Initiated by the government, three case studies highlighting the recovery of the urban, scenic, cultural, and functional nature of rivers inside Ningbo, Kunming, and Qian’an by design firm Turenscape are examined in the final part of this paper.

Mis-taken identities: The Photographic Conceptualization of Identity in Nikki S. Lee’s Projects (1997-2001)
Creators: name: Christian, Thu-Mai Lewis
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This thesis examines artist Nikki S. Lee’s Projects photographs taken from 1997 to 2001 and their entanglement with discourses of culture and identity. In this series, a collection of snapshots captures Lee in different guises as she engages with members of several cultural communities after whom she models her appearance. Through her peculiar use of the snapshot vernacular, Lee challenges subject-object binaries fixed to the glossy surface of the photograph, thus making questionable the verity of the Projects photographs. Projects urges the viewer to reconstruct narratives to reconcile the indeterminate relationships between Lee and her hosts and more significantly between the viewer and members of each depicted culture. These ambiguities elicit and address questions about the complex and often problematic visual expressions of identity and the subtle ways that such representations both promote and challenge dominant visual paradigms of society.
The Shanghai Alleyway House: A Threatened Typology
Creators: name: Bracken, Gregory
Publisher: name: FOOTPRINT
Year: 2013

description: The Shanghai alleyway house was a rich and vibrant generator of street life. Unique to Shanghai, it occupied the ambiguous space between the traditional Chinese courtyard home and the street. The system of ‘graduated privacy’ within its alleyways ensured a safe and neighbourly place to live. Due to rapid redevelopment in recent decades this once ubiquitous typology is under threat. This paper takes a look at the history of the typology as well as at three recent redevelopments of it in the city: Xintiandi, Jian Ye Li, and Tianzifang, to question what future there can be for a typology that seems to have outlived its usefulness.
