    Chang Chien 1853-1926 was a native of Nant ung Kiangsu In spite of the Various works on Chang Chien which testify to the significance of his role in modern China Chang Chien s Reform ideas is still not well-researched The purposes of this paper are firstly to analyze Chang Chien s Reform ideas systematically and clearly in the hope that it may become a useful reference for researchers on modern Chinese political thought and secondly to stimulate scholars for further research This paper depends more on basic source materials rather than second-hand data Among various source materials Chang Chien s Diary The Nine Records of Chang Chien and The Complete Work of Chang Chien are the most important Chang Chien s Reform ideas may be summarized as follows 1 taking notice of both economic basis and superstructure 2 elitism 3 pragmatism 4 concept of limited change 5 gradualism 6 golden means and 7 government by the peopl

    Chang Chien was born on July 1st in 1853 in Haimen Kiangsu and died on August 24th in 1926 in Nant ung Kiangsu In spite of his extraordinary enthusiasm in the promotion of a constitutional monarchy Chang Chien changed from a constitutional monarchist to a republican within less than one month after the 1911 Revolution Why did he change This is a significant topic for discussion So far lots of scholars have done research on this topic however the answers to this question have not been completely discovered yet My finding in this paper contends that though reasons leading to Chang Chien s change were complicated the underlying reason could be attributed to his political thought with flexibility that industry education and self-government were able to be achieved under whether a constitutional monarchy or a republic to save China It would be unfair to attribute Chang Chien s change only to his personal ambition to maintain his property his prestige or to attain political power Essentially nit was also due to his pragmatic attitude and his political thought with flexibility which allow him to work out industry education and self-government for China whether under a constitutional monarchy or a republi

    Applying Economic Instruments in Developing Countries: From Theory to Implementation

    Get PDF
    This paper proceeds as follows: in the next section we briefly review the experience with the implementation of economic instruments in both OECD countries and developing countries. The types of instruments considered are: pollution taxes/charges, product taxes/charges, deposit-refund schemes, and tradable permits. Also, the related practices of earmarking revenues from EIs and creating specialised environmental funds are considered. In section 3, a general framework is presented for evaluating alternative instruments in terms of their ease of implementation, and in the final section some suggestions are advanced for addressing the more common implementation problems. The question of how environmental policy affects competitiveness in an open economy is also briefly considered.Economic instruments

    Cryptanalysis of Sun and Cao's Remote Authentication Scheme with User Anonymity

    Dynamic ID-based remote user authentication schemes ensure efficient and anonymous mutual authentication between entities. In 2013, Khan et al. proposed an improved dynamic ID-based authentication scheme to overcome the security flaws of Wang et al.'s authentication scheme. Recently, Sun and Cao showed that Khan et al. does not satisfies the claim of the user's privacy and proposed an efficient authentication scheme with user anonymity. The Sun and Cao's scheme achieve improvement over Khan et al.'s scheme in both privacy and performance point of view. Unfortunately, we identify that Sun and Cao's scheme does not resist password guessing attack. Additionally, Sun and Cao's scheme does not achieve forward secrecy

    A single chip VLSI Reed-Solomon decoder

    A new VLSI design of a pipeline Reed-Solomon decoder is presented. The transform decoding technique used in a previous design is replaced by a time domain algorithm. A new architecture that implements such an algorithm permits efficient pipeline processing with minimum circuitry. A systolic array is also developed to perform erasure corrections in the new design. A modified form of Euclid's algorithm is implemented by a new architecture that maintains the throughput rate with less circuitry. Such improvements result in both enhanced capability and a significant reduction in silicon area, therefore making it possible to build a pipeline (31,15)RS decoder on a single VLSI chip

    Effect of blood's velocity on blood resistivity

    Get PDF
    Blood resistivity is an important quantity whose value influences the results of various methods used in the study of heart and circulation. In this paper, the relationship between blood resistivity and velocity of blood flow was evaluated and analyzed based upon a probe using six-ring electrodes and a circulatory model. The experimental results indicated that the change in blood resistivity was only ±1.1% when the velocity of blood flow changed from 2.83 to 40 cm/s and it rose to 23% when the velocity was lower than 2.83 cm/s

    Parity-even and Parity-odd Mesons in Covariant Light-front Approach

    Full text link
    Decay constants and form factors for parity-even (s-wave) and parity-odd (p-wave) mesons are studied within a covariant light-front approach. The three universal Isgur-Wise functions for heavy-to-heavy meson transitions are obtained.Comment: 3 pages, talk given at the 2004 DPF Meeting, Riverside, CA. Aug 26-31, 200
