Doubts and Puzzles: Young Galeano Writing about New China during the Sino-Soviet Split
As a journalist of Uruguay’s Marcha weekly newspaper, Eduardo Galeano visited China in September 1963; he was warmly received by Chinese leaders including Premier Zhou Enlai. At first, Galeano published some experiences of his China visit in Marcha. In 1964, he published the complete journal of the trip, under the title of China, 1964: crónica de un desaf

[“China 1964: Chronicle of a Challenge”]. Based on Chinese-language materials, this paper explores Galeano’s trip to China at that time and includes a close reading of Galeano’s travel notes. By analyzing his views on the New China, Socialism, and the Sino-Soviet Split, we will try to determine whether this China visit influenced his world view and cultural concepts.

Por medio de un análisis de sus puntos de vista sobre la Nueva China, el socialismo y la ruptura sinosoviética, se intenta determinar si esta visita a China influyó en su visión del mundo y en sus conceptos culturales
Development of a plasma panel radiation detector: recent progress and key issues
A radiation detector based on plasma display panel technology, which is the
principal component of plasma television displays is presented. Plasma Panel
Sensor (PPS) technology is a variant of micropattern gas radiation detectors.
The PPS is conceived as an array of sealed plasma discharge gas cells which can
be used for fast response (O(5ns) per pixel), high spatial resolution detection
(pixel pitch can be less than 100 micrometer) of ionizing and minimum ionizing
particles. The PPS is assembled from non-reactive, intrinsically radiation-hard
materials: glass substrates, metal electrodes and inert gas mixtures. We report
on the PPS development program, including simulations and design and the first
laboratory studies which demonstrate the usage of plasma display panels in
measurements of cosmic ray muons, as well as the expansion of experimental
results on the detection of betas from radioactive sources.Comment: presented at IEEE NSS 2011 (Barcelona

Comment on "Direct Mapping of the Finite Temperature Phase Diagram of Strongly Correlated Quantum Models" by Q. Zhou, Y. Kato, N. Kawashima, and N. Trivedi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 085701 (2009)
In their Letter, Zhou, Kato, Kawashima, and Trivedi claim that
finite-temperature critical points of strongly correlated quantum models
emulated by optical lattice experiments can generically be deduced from kinks
in the derivative of the density profile of atoms in the trap with respect to
the external potential, . In this comment we demonstrate
that the authors failed to achieve their goal: to show that under realistic
experimental conditions critical densities can be extracted from
density profiles with controllable accuracy.Comment: 1 page, 1 figur
Generalized monotonicity and strategy-proofness for non-resolute social choice correspondences
Recently there are several works which analyzed the strategy-proofness of non-resolute social choice rules such as Duggan and Schwartz (2000) and Ching and Zhou (2001). In these analyses it was assumed that individual preferences are linear, that is, they excluded indifference from individual preferences. We present an analysis of the strategy-proofness of non-resolute social choice rules when indifference in individual preferences is allowed. Following to the definition of the strategy-proofness by Ching and Zhou (2001) we shall show that a generalized version of monotonicity and the strategy-proofness are equivalent. It is an extension of the equivalence of monotonicity and the strategy-proofness for resolute social choice rules with linear individual preferences proved by Muller and Satterthwate (1980) to the case of non-resolute social choice rules with general individual preferences.generalized monotonicity
Physical space approach to wave equation bilinear estimates revisit
In the paper by Klainerman, Rodnianski and Tao
\cite{Klainerman-Rodnianski-Tao}, they give a physical space proof to a
classical result of Klainerman and Machedon \cite{Klainerman-Machedon} for the
bilinear space-time estimates of null forms. In this paper, we shall give an
alternative and very simple physical space proof of the same bilinear estimates
by applying div-curl type lemma of Zhou \cite{Zhou} and Wang-Zhou
\cite{Wang-Zhou-1}, \cite{Wang-Zhou-2}. As far as we known, the later
development of wave maps \cite{Sterbenz-1}, \cite{Sterbenz-2}, \cite{Tao-1},
\cite{Tao-2}, \cite{Tataru-1}, \cite{Tataru-2}, and the proof of bounded
curvature conjecture \cite{Klainerman-Rodnianski-Szeftel-1},
\cite{Klainerman-Rodnianski-Szeftel-2} rely on basic idea of Klainerman and
Machedon \cite{Klainerman-Machedon} as well as Klainerman, Rodnianski and Tao
\cite{Klainerman-Rodnianski-Tao}
Mutation of torsion pairs in cluster categories of Dynkin type
Mutation of torsion pairs in triangulated categories and its combinatorial
interpretation for the cluster category of Dynkin type and of type
have been studied by Zhou and Zhu. In this paper we present a
combinatorial model for mutation of torsion pairs in the cluster category of
Dynkin type , using Ptolemy diagrams of Dynkin type which were
introduced by Holm, J{\o}rgensen and Rubey.Comment: Corrected typos, some arguments made more concise, results unchange
