description: Das im Rohabwasser enthaltene Rechengut verursacht bei seiner unzureichenden Entfernung durch die mechanische Reinigungsstufe eine Vielzahl von Problemen im weiteren Reinigungsprozess. Als Beispiele seien hier auf Verzopfungen an Kabeln, Pumpenblockaden u.ä. verwiesen. Der Einsatz von Feinrechen auf Kläranlagen ist daher ein fester Bestandteil der Abwasserreinigung. Das Betriebsergebnis von Feinrechenanlagen wird durch viele Faktoren bestimmt. Naheliegend ist die Betrachtung der auf der Kläranlage herrschenden Bedingungen im Rechengerinne, wie z.B. Fließgeschwindigkeit oder Anströmung der Feinrechenanlage. Darüber hinaus beeinflussen aber auch die Gegebenheiten im jeweiligen Einzugsgebiet einer Kläranlage oder vorgeschaltete Verfahrensstufen die betriebliche Leistung einer jeden Feinrechenanlage.Zu diesen Einflussfaktoren zählen bei Kanalnetzen im Mischsystem zum Beispiel die Bauwerke der Regenwasserbehandlung, insbesondere die den Kläranlagen direkt vorgeschalteten Stauräume. Weiterhin von Bedeutung sind den Feinrechen vorgeschaltete Grobrechenanlagen.Die Berücksichtigung dieser Faktoren ist Voraussetzung für eine erfolgreiche Erneuerung bzw. Neukonzeption einer Feinrechenanlage.

description: We reformulate the heavy quark effective theory in the presence of a residual mass term, which has been taken to vanish in previous analyses. While such a convention is permitted, the inclusion of a residual mass allows us to resolve a potential ambiguity in the choice of the expansion parameter which defines the effective theory. We show to subleading order in the mass expansion that physical quantities computed in the effective theory do not depend on the expansion parameter.

description: We discuss in detail how string-inspired lineal gravity can be formulated as a gauge theory based on the centrally extended Poincaré group in $(1+1)$ dimensions. Matter couplings are constructed in a gauge invariant fashion, both for point particles and Fermi fields. A covariant tensor notation is developed in which gauge invariance of the formalism is manifest.

description: The quantification of the quantumness of a quantum ensemble has theoretical and practical significance in quantum information theory. We propose herein a class of measures of the quantumness of quantum ensembles using the unitary similarity invariant norms of the commutators of the constituent density operators of an ensemble. Rigorous proof shows that they share desirable properties for a measure of quantumness, such as positivity, unitary invariance, concavity under probabilistic union, convexity under state decomposition, decreasing under coarse graining, and increasing under fine graining. Several specific examples illustrate the applications of these measures of quantumness in studying quantum information.

Transboundary Water Pollution in China – An Analysis of the Failure of the Legal Framework to Protect Downstream Jurisdictions
Creators: name: Tyler, Zachary
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2006

description: The epic proportions of China’s water pollution problems transcend many of the nation’s jurisdictional boundaries. The rapid growth of transboundary water pollution mirrors the ferocious growth that the economy has undergone since the Chinese leadership began a series of economic reforms in 1978. The accumulation and discharge of pollutants into the waters of many upstream regions has wrought environmental havoc in downstream jurisdictions,1 creating inequities in distribution similar to the uneven nature of the nation’s economic development. China’s response to the growing problems of transboundary water pollution reflects the problems and challenges that its nascent environmental legal regime faces, and the attempts to resolve transboundary water pollution disputes have largely been played out as but one part of China’s greater endeavors to adapt its administrative structure and legal regime to the rapid transformation that the country is undergoing. Transboundary water pollution in China therefore provides an excellent window into many issues that span the nation’s reform efforts as well as serving to illustrate both the inadequacies and improvements in China’s regulatory regime for environmental protection. This Note will analyze the law of transboundary water pollution currently in force in China. The foundation for understanding this subset of China’s environmental crisis will be laid by first providing an overview of the basic structure of China’s political and legal structure. Certain systemic challenges and characteristics of the Chinese system that affect virtually all legal, political, and administrative activities will also be addressed to highlight the fact that many of the problems to be dealt with in resolving the phenomenon of transboundary water pollution are not unique to that particular subset of Chinese environmental law, but rather are germane to many of the hurdles China must overcome. This Note then turns to the legal framework for water law, water pollution control, and transboundary pollution, including an analysis of the major problems the current system possesses for dealing with transboundary pollution. Several case studies will be relied upon to illustrate the successes and failures in attempting to control transboundary water pollution. Lastly, this Note will end with a series of recommendations for improving the legal and administrative system for controlling transboundary water pollution in China.

description: Transition metal perovskite chalcogenides (TMPC) are a new class of semiconductor materials with broad tunability of physical properties due to their chemical and structural flexibility. Theoretical calculations show that band gaps of TMPCs are tunable from Far IR to UV spectrum. Amongst these materials, more than a handful of materials have energy gap and very high absorption coefficients, which are appropriate for optoelectronic applications, especially solar energy conversion. Despite several promising theoretical predictions, very little experimental studies on their physical properties are currently available, especially optical properties. We report a new synthetic route towards high quality bulk ceramic TMPCs and systematic study of three phases, SrZrS3 in two different room temperature stabilized phases and one of BaZrS3. All three materials were synthesized with a catalyzed solid-state reaction process in sealed ampoules. Structural and chemical characterizations establish high quality of the samples, which is confirmed by the intense room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra showing direct band gaps around 1.53eV, 2.13eV and 1.81eV respectively. The potential of these materials for solar energy conversion was evaluated by measurement of PL quantum efficiency and estimate of quasi Fermi level splitting.

Anschließend wird auf zwei Neuentwicklungen im Bereich unbelüfteter Sandfänge eingegangen, die im Rahmen von Verbundforschungsprojekten zwischen dem mittelständischen Unternehmen W+F, der TU Darmstadt und dem IWW Zentrum Wasser entstanden sind. Zur Untersuchung der Leistungsfähigkeit von Sandfängen ist es erforderlich den Sandabscheidegrad zu bestimmen. Dies erweist sich aufgrund des Absetzverhaltens der Sandpartikel als schwierig. Im Bericht wird eine neue Probenahmetechnik, als Teil eines Verfahrens zur Berechnung des Sandabscheidegrads von Sandfängen, vorgestellt, die am IWAR und IWW Zentrum Wasser entwickelt wurde. In allen beschriebenen Maßnahmen wurde das Prinzip der hybriden Modellierung umgesetzt, d.h. es wurden Experimente, numerische Simulationen (CFD) sowie Messungen an bestehenden Anlagen durchgeführt, um Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen und Verfahren zu entwickeln

description: More than three decades now, experts in the field of electrical engineering economics have devised techniques to evaluate power outage costs. In a world that depends so much on electrical energy for virtually all of its activities, it becomes important to correctly quantify the losses arising from power outages especially in view of the economic significance of electricity to the individual consumer, industries and the nation. Accurate assessment of the impact of a power outage depends upon which methodology is employed in its evaluation. The research draws upon secondary data and available scholarly literature to describe the major methodologies and techniques currently available in the power system economics. This paper is significant as it presents different methodologies for adequate and reliable estimation of power outages costs according to data requirements and complexity of the outage incident.

description: We extend existing work on reparametrization invariance (RPI) of the heavy-quark expansion. We discuss the total rates of inclusive processes and obtain results which have a manifest RPI and can be expressed through matrix elements of operators and states defined in full QCD. This approach leads to a partial re-summation of higher-order terms in the heavy-quark expansion and has the advantage that the number of independent parameters is reduced.

description: We give an explicit algebraic description of finite Lorentz transformations of vectors in 10-dimensional Minkowski space by means of a parameterization in terms of the octonions. The possible utility of these results for superstring theory is mentioned. Along the way we describe automorphisms of the two highest dimensional normed division algebras, namely the quaternions and the octonions, in terms of conjugation maps. We use similar techniques to define $SO(3)$ and $SO(7)$ via conjugation, $SO(4)$ via symmetric multiplication, and $SO(8)$ via both symmetric multiplication and one-sided multiplication. The non-commutativity and non-associativity of these division algebras plays a crucial role in our constructions.

Case against China Establishing International Liability for China’s Response to the 2002-2003 SARS Epidemic
Creators: name: Reader, Joshua D.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2006

description: In the spring of 2003, the world experienced “déjà vu all over again” in the field of public health and global health governance. The 201h century saw at least three pandemics-the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-1919, the Asian Flu pandemic of 1957-58, and the Hong Kong Flu pandemic of 1968-1969-all of which originated in China. Once again, despite Mao Zedong’s over-optimistic “farewell to the god of plagues” nearly half a century ago, a new infectious disease emerged from China in the form of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (“SARS”). SARS claimed lives across the globe and shook the confidence of the world’s population to its roots. Although SARS did not reap nearly as many victims as previous flu pandemics or other diseases of imminent global concern like malaria, tuberculosis, or HIV/AIDS, the global community took disproportionate notice of the disease because, in part, it “spread in areas with broad international commercial links and received intense media attention as a mysterious new illness that seemed able to go anywhere and hit anyone.” The looming specter of globalization amplified these factors. In today’s world, the phenomenon of globalization has turned the distant threat of a localized disease outbreak into a pressing international concern. Within the public health context, the effects of globalization chip away at traditional justifications for state sovereignty. As the global community grows closer, the effects of globalization, coupled with threats of easily communicable and highly deadly infectious diseases, are too dire to ignore. Recently heightened awareness of the threat of infectious disease pandemic has seen a change in public consciousness. A sovereign state’s response to domestic disease is no longer solely the concern of that state. Effective and recognized principles of international law are needed to pierce the sanctified veil of state sovereignty.

description: Recently the Experiment to Detect the Global Epoch of Reionization Signature (EDGES) reported the detection of a 21cm absorption signal stronger than astrophysical expectations. In this paper we study the impact of radiation from dark matter (DM) decay and primordial black holes (PBH) on the 21cm radiation temperature in the reionization epoch, and impose a constraint on the decaying dark matter and PBH energy injection in the intergalactic medium, which can heat up neutral hydrogen gas and weaken the 21cm absorption signal. We consider decay channels DM$\rightarrow e^+e^-, γγ$, $μ^+μ^-$, $b\bar{b}$ and the $10^{15-17}$g mass range for primordial black holes, and require the heating of the neutral hydrogen does not negate the 21cm absorption signal. For $e^+e^-$, $γγ$ final states and PBH cases we find strong 21cm bounds that can be more stringent than the current extragalactic diffuse photon bounds. For the DM$\rightarrow e^+e^-$ channel, the lifetime bound is $τ_{\rm DM}> 10^{27}$s for sub-GeV dark matter. The bound is $τ_{\rm DM}\ge 10^{26}$s for sub-GeV DM$\rightarrow γγ$ channel and reaches $10^{27}$s at MeV DM mass. For $b\bar{b}$ and $μ^+μ^-$ cases, the 21 cm constraint is better than all the existing constraints for $m_{\rm DM}<20$ GeV where the bound on $τ_{\rm DM}\ge10^{26}$s. For both DM decay and primordial black hole cases, the 21cm bounds significantly improve over the CMB damping limits from Planck data.

We assume direct two-nucleon knockout after virtual photon coupling with the two-body pion-exchange currents in the target nucleus. Results are presented at several kinematical conditions in the dip and $Δ$(1232) regions. The calculated two-nucleon knockout strength is observed to account for a large fraction of the measured $(e,e'p)$ strength above the two-nucleon emission threshold.

description: We show in detail how the presence of a heat bath of photons effectively gives charged particles in the final state of a decay process a temperature-dependent mass, and changes the effective strength of the force responsible for the decay. At low temperature, gauge invariance causes both these effects to be largely cancelled by absorption of photons from the heat bath and by stimulated emission into it, but at high temperature the temperature-dependent mass is the dominant feature.

Beyond the Four Walls in an Age of Transnational Judicial Conversations Civil Liberties, Rights Theories, and Constitutional Adjudication in Malaysia and Singapore
Creators: name: Thio, Li-Ann
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2006

description: The judicial articulation of a “four walls” doctrine as a governing principle of constitutional interpretation, extant in both Malaysia and Singapore, is indicative of a particularized theory of constitutional interpretation that limits the legitimate sources of law which may inform constitutional construction. The “four walls” doctrine suggests an insularity discordant with the vigorous interest in “transnational judicial conversations,”‘ within a growing “world community of courts.” This trend is indicative of the openness of certain national courts towards citing, evaluating, and applying foreign decisions and international human rights law (“transnational law”) in adjudicating civil liberties. Indeed, comparative constitutional law has become something of a “cottage industry” in certain jurisdictions.3 While liberal democracies have engaged in cross-fertilization in the development of rights, it is clear that the participants in this conversation are limited. Indeed, one might discern that in contrast to liberal democracies, courts in non-liberal jurisdictions utilize transnational sources to buttress public order concerns rather than expand rights.

description: Kommunale Kläranlagen, die derzeit in Europa betrieben werden, basieren auf Verfahrenstechniken und Bemessungsregeln, die in den 1960er bis 1990er Jahren entwickelt wurden. Das Hauptziel dieser Anlagen ist es, die organische Belastung des Zulaufs zu eliminieren und den Nährstoffeintrag in den Vorfluter auf ein zulässiges Maß zu begrenzen. Seit Umsetzung der Stickstoff-und Phosphorentfernung gemäß der europäischen Kommunalabwasserrichtlinie (91/271/EGC) sind jedoch insbesondere im letzten Jahrzehnt neue Anforderungen entstanden. Es stehen zusätzlich die Eigenenergienutzung, die Eliminierung von Mikroschadstoffen und Mikroplastik, die Desinfektion und das Recycling von Wertstoffen aus dem Abwasser im Fokus der technischen und öffentlichen Diskussion. Unter Berücksichtigung dieser Aspekte kann die Kläranlage der Zukunft ein anderes Design benötigen und bestehende Kläranlagen müssen möglicherweise umfassend angepasst werden. Für den Wupperverband wurde im Hinblick auf die neuen Anforderungen mögliche Ansätze für eine Kläranlage der Zukunft erarbeitet.
China’s Employment Discrimination Laws during Economic Transition

Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2006

description: While working as a consultant to the World Bank on China’s labor legislation in 1996, I was waiting outside the gate of the Ministry of Labor, when I noticed a job advertisement posted on a pole. It read, Seeking an office clerk. Female, decent height and appearance. All five facial organs must be in the right place (wu guan duan zheng). In 2005, job advertisements with identical facial requirements are widely seen. That, of course, is but one frank articulation of what many employers around the world take note of in the employment hiring process. Other factors in considering applicants and employees in China may include sex, ethnicity, social origin, health, disability, age, or migrant status, some of which are considerations prohibited by Chinese labor laws. This article describes the current status of the above factors as used in human resource management (HRM) practices during China’s current economic transition, and further examines China’s existing anti- discrimination labor legislation. Some comparative references are made to labor standards under International Labor Organization (ILO) Conventions and U.S. legislative approaches. This article further suggests areas for legal reform to both clarify coverage and enhance enforcement and remedies, which would in turn arrest some of the more pernicious illegal hiring and employment practices currently found in China’s HRM.

description: Hochgebirge und vorgelagerte Tiefländer werden in ihren materiellen Transferprozessen als systemare Einheit verstanden, primär abhängig und bestimmt von der klimazonalen Position dieser Landschaftseinheiten und den diese nutzenden und damit transformierenden Gesellschaften. An zwei in Genese, Dimension und zeitlicher Entwicklung unterschiedlichen Fallbeispielen aus der semiariden und ariden Klimazone – dem Mount Kenya und dem Indus-Einzugsgebiet – wird die existentielle Bedeutung der montanen Wasserressourcen für das Tiefland diskutiert. Deren saisonal und langfristige Verfügbarkeit in Volumen und Qualität wird zum einen bestimmt durch die sich verändernden klimagenetischen Randbedingungen, aktuell dominanter aber durch Bevölkerungszunahme, Urbanisierung, rurale Übernutzung, Industrialisierung, Verschmutzung. Dabei sind Marginalisierung und Risikoerhöhung schwierig zu bewältigende Folgen. Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft sind gefordert, realistische und nachhaltige Ressourcentransfer- und Nutzungsszenarien zu entwickeln – und diese durchzusetzen. High Mountains as Resource Areas for Lowlands: High mountains and neighbouring lowlands are understood in their material transfer processes as a systemic unit, primarily dependent and determined by the climatic zonal position of these landscape units and the societies using and thus transforming them. Using two case studies from the semi-arid and arid climate zone - Mount Kenya and the Indus catchment area - which differ in genesis, dimension and temporal development, the existential importance of the mountain water resources for the lowlands is discussed. Their seasonal and long-term availability in volume and quality is determined on the one hand by the changing climatic conditions, increasingly dominant but also by population growth, urbanization, rural overuse, industrialization and pollution. Marginalization and increased risk are consequences that are difficult to manage. Science and society are called upon to develop realistic and sustainable resource transfer and use scenarios - and to implement them.

description: Three-body photodisintegration of 3He is calculated in the photon energy range 200 - 400 MeV assuming quasifree absorption on np pairs both in initial quasideuteron and singlet configurations. The model includes the normal nucleonic current, explicit meson exchange currents and the Delta(1232)-isobar excitation. The total cross section is increased by a factor of about 1.5 compared with free deuteron photodisintegration. Well below and above the Delta region also some spin observables differ significantly from the ones of free deuteron disintegration due to the more compressed wave function of the correlated np pairs in 3He compared to the deuteron. The initial singlet state causes a significant change in the analyzing power Ay. These differences could presumably be seen at the conjugate angles where two-body effects are maximized and where photoreactions could complement similar pion absorption experiments.

description: Invited keynote presentation The glories of messiness challenge the extractive metaphors that often characterise our use of digital data. We’re not merely digging or mining or drilling for oil, because each journey into the data offers new possibilities — our horizons are opened, because our categories refuse to be closed. These are journeys of enrichment, interpretation and creation, not extraction. We’re putting stuff back, not taking it out. Cultural institutions have an exciting opportunity to help us work with this messiness. The challenge is not just to pump out data, anyone can do that. The challenge is to enrich the contexts within which we meet this data — to help us embrace nuance and uncertainty; to prevent us from taking the categories we use for granted.
Governance of China’s Periphery: Balancing Local Autonomy and National Unity

description: China’s governance of its peripheral areas has historically been a matter of national identity and remains so today. In keeping with its Marxist-Leninist heritage, the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) has viewed the periphery in policy terms-initially as a challenge for socialist transformation and more recently as a locus of economic development. China depicts itself as a unitary state. The continued influence of Confucian patrimonial sovereignty along with concerns over national unity, wealth, and power has supported ideas and practices of governance that remain hierarchical and authoritative. As China’s participation in the world political economy has exposed liberal governance regimes, the dynamics of selective adaptation continue to adjust these to China’s official norms of centralized governance. Yet Chinese and foreign observers frequently point to the extent of local resistance to central government rule. This is particularly true around the periphery, where tensions between central authority and local resistance are especially acute. While governance regimes for the periphery have generally been tailored to reflect the policy priorities of the Chinese Communist Party (“CCP”), the past ten years have seen increased public reliance on legal forms to formalize and lend legitimacy to policy preferences. In light of nearly thirty years’ experience with other dimensions of China’s legal system, it is appropriate and important for us to consider the extent to which rule of law ideals are realized in China’s approach to governance in the sensitive peripheral regions. Accordingly, this paper will examine the legal regime for China’s governance in the Inner Periphery areas of Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and Tibet in light of the dynamics of institutional capacity and the implications for China’s relations with the Outer Periphery areas of Macao, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

description: The second Gaia data release is based on 22 months of mission data with an average of 0.9 billion individual CCD observations per day. A data volume of this size and granularity requires a robust and reliable but still flexible system to achieve the demanding accuracy and precision constraints that Gaia is capable of delivering. The internal Gaia photometric system was initialised using an iterative process that is solely based on Gaia data. A set of calibrations was derived for the entire Gaia DR2 baseline and then used to produce the final mean source photometry. The photometric catalogue contains 2.5 billion sources comprised of three different grades depending on the availability of colour information and the procedure used to calibrate them: 1.5 billion gold, 144 million silver, and 0.9 billion bronze. These figures reflect the results of the photometric processing; the content of the data release will be different due to the validation and data quality filters applied during the catalogue preparation. The photometric processing pipeline, PhotPipe, implements all the processing and calibration workflows in terms of Map/Reduce jobs based on the Hadoop platform. This is the first example of a processing system for a large astrophysical survey project to make use of these technologies. The improvements in the generation of the integrated G-band fluxes, in the attitude modelling, in the cross-matching, and and in the identification of spurious detections led to a much cleaner input stream for the photometric processing. This, combined with the improvements in the definition of the internal photometric system and calibration flow, produced high-quality photometry. Hadoop proved to be an excellent platform choice for the implementation of PhotPipe in terms of overall performance, scalability, downtime, and manpower required for operations and maintenance.
Law, Development, and the Rights of Chinese Women: A Snapshot from the Field

description: In this era of post-communist regimes, several trends pervade academic and economic development debates. First, market principles are said to be not only the prime weapon for invigorating stagnant economies, but also the route to greater freedoms and liberties. Certainly, the embrace of the market has given an amazing boost to China’s national economy, now growing at an enviable annual rate of about 7%. Yet the broad application of market concepts has also brought about serious domestic problems, from widening gaps between rich and poor to massive urban migration, widespread unemployment, corruption, and growing unrest in both city and countryside. The meaning of market concepts to the rights of Chinese citizens thus requires a more complex understanding of what kind of rights are at issue and for to whom those rights flow. Hand in hand with market development has marched a second trend: the reliance on legal structures and the language of rights. Legal development, critical to market development, has assumed prominence not only as a means of effecting economic and political change, but also as an end in itself-as a goal synonymous with the liberal norms of freedom and democracy. Rule of law in World Trade Organization- parlance and in the international human rights framework refers to a system that features independent and impartial decision-makers, transparent and open rules that apply uniformly to all, and a process that ensures the protection of fundamental rights and interests. This approach suggests that, as a matter of course, contracts should be privately negotiated and enforced according to law. By extension, disadvantaged groups should also seek to vindicate their rights in the courts rather than in the streets. Where the Chinese state previously loomed in the provision of health and other social welfare benefits, private individuals are now responsible for the negotiation of such benefits with each other, and seek enforcement within the parameters of the legal structure.

Case Precedent in Qing China: Rethinking Traditional Case Law
Creators: name: Wang, Zhiqiang
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law

description: As part of the current effort to promote legal reform in China, the Chinese academic community has turned its attention to the function of case rulings and the role of judges. Over the past decade, members of domestic academia have discussed the implications of establishing a case law system in China. Under the current legal model, while decided cases play an important role in daily judicial administration as persuasive authority-especially those pronouncements by such higher courts as the Supreme People’s Court-these cases have yet to be recognized formally as a source of law. Inspired by this topic of practical concern, a number of Chinese legal historians have engaged in fierce debates about the nature of ancient China’s case law system. Some historians have argued that imperial China had a long history of implementing case law and, accordingly, they have proposed a revival of that tradition in modem society. Others have denied the universal existence of such a system in Chinese history, and still others have warned against possible misunderstandings arising from garbled usage of Western terminology without further exploration and detailed comparison.

Temperature Dependence of the Chiral Condensate from an Interacting Pion Gas

description: By exploiting the fact that the chiral condensate is related to the derivative of the free-energy density with respect to the bare quark mass we calculate the temperature dependence of the condensate ratio $\ave{\bar qq}_T/\ave{\bar qq}_0$ from an iteracting pion gas. When using the Weinberg Lagrangian at the Hartree level we find a depression of the condensate with temperature. For $T < 100$ MeV the results are in good agreement with chiral perturbation theory in the three loop approximation. Near $T_c$, however, there are marked differences due to non-perturbative nature of our approach.

Land Disputes, Rights Assertion, and Social Unrest in China: A Case from Sichuan

description: With social unrest intensifying in China, there is a growing sense that the legal reforms of the past two decades have failed to provide adequate channels for resolving conflicts of interest and viewpoint between government and citizens-especially those citizens who have been disadvantaged by economic development, and who believe that their legal rights have been violated in this process. As early as the autumn of 2003, Yu Meisun, a former official who had participated in the drafting of China’s 1989 Administrative Litigation Law, wrote: The Party and Government have been investing a great amount of human and material resources into the legal system since 1979, in order to protect the social order and resolve various conflicts in society. But this system has not only failed to serve the function it was supposed to serve, it has even been counterproductive, exacerbating conflicts. The assessment that legal reform has made things worse by “exacerbating conflicts” in China is understandable in its context. Yu’s writings about petitioning and administrative litigation cases convey a certain sense of hopelessness: people waste their lives seeking justice from state authorities, whose written or unwritten rules of operation sometimes seem designed to compound citizens’ grievances rather than to help redress them. Especially in cases of land requisitioning, the citizens’ own livelihoods as well as those of their children may be lost. Yet the case that led Yu to make this assessment is also indicative of a positive aspect of the legal reform process. The case cited by Yu can be seen as part of a broader trend of cases where the promise of a government limited by rights is being taken seriously, and rights are being asserted toward the government at different levels. Injustices are now met with resistance by people who invoke the law to challenge those claiming to act with legal authority.
