On The Methodological Problem Of The Discussions Of “Chinese Identity” In The Exploration Of “Cultural Politics”, Xiaoping Wang

Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art

Since the late 1990s, Chinese scholars have deliberated on the issue of the establishment of a Chinese cultural subjectivity and identity for a nation rising in the international arena. Zhang Xudong’s theoretical work Cultural Identity in the Era of Globalization, published in the year 2005, sparked heated debate within intellectual circles, and continued its broad influence till now. This article aims to bring Zhang’s thesis and its opponents’ opinions together, to examine their concerns and respective methodologies and shed lights on their merits and faults.

Washington Dairy Survey 2020, Jennifer E. Givens, Michael D. Briscoe

Browse all Datasets

These data are part of the dissertation research of Michael D. Briscoe. This research analyzed the association between modernization and farmer alienation from their work and their cows, as well as their overall life satisfaction. The results show that modernization has mixed effects on farmer alienation. This statistical finding was supported by interviews with farmers, who expressed that large farms can make it hard to maintain a relationship with their cows, but that technology actually replaces negative aspects of this relationship and allows for new forms of interaction.

One Size Does Not Fit All: Security Hardening Of Mips Embedded Systems Via Static Binary Debloating For Shared Libraries, Haotian Zhang, Mengfei Ren, Yu Lei, Jiang Ming

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

Embedded systems have become prominent targets for cyberattacks. To exploit firmware’s memory corruption vulnerabilities, cybercriminals harvest reusable code gadgets from the large shared library codebase (e.g., uClibc). Unfortunately, unlike their desktop counterparts, embedded systems lack essential computing resources to enforce security hardening techniques. Recently, we have witnessed a surge of software debloating as a new defense mechanism against code-reuse attacks; it erases unused code to significantly diminish the possibilities of constructing reusable gadgets. Because of the single firmware image update style, static library debloating shows promise to fortify embedded systems without compromising performance and forward compatibility. However, static library debloating …

The Pandora Papers Opens Up Pandora’S Box: Integrity In Crisis, Shahjahan Bhuiyan

Faculty Journal Articles

Integrity lies at the center of state-society interactions, with broad implications for the practice of public administration, governance, and public service delivery. The Pandora Papers leaks are hard examples of integrity violations, shining a light on how public administration operates in practice. The integrity deficits revealed not only threaten people’s wellbeing, but also put on display the state’s leniency toward rich and powerful people accumulating wealth through corruption, fraud, and tax evasion, among other crimes. In this context, this article attempts to understand whether the Pandora Papers leaks violate of the fundamentals of integrity. Drawing on cases and examples, the …

Glaze Epochs: Understanding Lifelong Material Relationships Within Ceramics Studios, Hedieh Moradi, Long N. Nguyen, Quyen Anh Valentina Nguyen, Cesar Torres

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

The “material turn” in HCI has placed a renewed focus on informing design from the relationships found in material-based interactions. While several ethnographic works provide insight into how practitioners converse with materials, it is less understood how these conversations transform into a skilled practitioner’s relationship with a material. We examine the material practice of glazing that gives ceramics its decorative and functional characteristics and involves fusing mixtures of silica, alumina, and flux onto a clay body through kiln firing. This practice evolves over decades developing from multiple trajectories including theoretical foundations, systematic experimentation, and happy accidents. This work describes virtual …

How Different Are Threshold And Other Specified Feeding And Eating Disorders? Comparing Severity And Treatment Outcome, Samantha J. Withnell, Abbigail Kinnear, Philip Masson, Lindsay P. Bodell

Neuroscience Institute Publications

Background: Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders (OSFED) are characterized by less frequent symptoms or symptoms that do not meet full criteria for another eating disorder. Despite its high prevalence, limited research has examined differences in severity and treatment outcome among patients with OSFED compared to threshold EDs [Anorexia Nervosa (AN), Bulimia Nervosa (BN), and Binge Eating Disorder (BED)]. The purpose of the current study was to examine differences in clinical presentation and treatment outcome between a heterogenous group of patients with OSFED or threshold EDs. Method: Patients with threshold EDs (AN = 42, BN = 50, BED = 14) …

Electrospun Porous La-Sr-Co-Ni-O Nanofibers For Highly Sensitive Non-Enzymatic Glucose Detection, Kasci D. Pelucarte, Tashi A. Hatchell, Gibin George, Sivasankara Rao Ede, Menuka Adhikari, Yulin Lin, Jianguo Wen, Zhiping Luo, Shubo Han

College of Health, Science, and Technology

Glucose biosensors are widely used for clinical, industrial, and environmental applications. Nonenzymatic electrochemical glucose biosensors based on metal oxides with a perovskite structure have exhibited high sensitivity, excellent stability, and cost efficiency. In this work, porous La-Sr-Co-Ni-O (LSCNO) nanofibers, with an ABO3-type perovskite structure, were prepared through optimizing the A-site and B-site elements by electrospinning, followed with calcination at 700 °C for 5 h. Characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, fabricated nanofibers were confirmed to be porous and nanosized polycrystalline grains with high crystallinity. A novel La0.75Sr0.25Co0.5Ni0.5O3-based nonenzymatic electrochemical biosensor was developed, which …

Synthesis, Characterization, Photocatalysis, And Antibacterial Study Of Wo3, Mxene And Wo3/Mxene Nanocomposite, Al-Zoha Warsi, Fatima Aziz, Sonia Zulfiqar, Sajjad Haider

Faculty Journal Articles

Tungsten oxide (WO3), MXene, and an WO3/MXene nanocomposite were synthesized to study their photocatalytic and biological applications. Tungsten oxide was synthesized by an easy and cost-effective hydrothermal method, and its composite with MXene was prepared through the sonication method. The synthesized tungsten oxide, MXene, and its composite were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) for their structural, morphological, spectral, elemental and surface area analysis, respectively. The crystallite size of WO3 calculated from XRD was ~10 nm, the particle size of WO3 was 130 nm, …

Synthesis, Characterization And Host-Guest Complexation Of Asplatin: Improved In Vitro Cytotoxicity And Biocompatibility As Compared To Cisplatin, Sherif Ashraf Fahmy, Fortuna Ponte, Giulia Grande, Iten M. Fawzy

Faculty Journal Articles

Para-sulfocalix[n]arenes are promising host molecules that can accommodate various chemotherapeutic drugs. Pt(IV)-based complexes, including satraplatin and asplatin, are promising alternatives that overcome the shortcomings of Pt(II) complexes. In this study, asplatin has been synthesized by fusing acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and cisplatin. Furthermore, it has been characterized using 1H NMR, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and UHPLC. A host-guest complex of asplatin and p-sulfocalix[4]arene (PSC4) has been developed and characterized using UV, Job’s plot analysis, HPLC, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The experimental and computational investigations propose that a 1:1 complex between asplatin and PSC4 is formed. The stability constant of …

Marine algae are a rich source of biologically active compounds that can be utilized in various food and pharmaceutical applications. In this study, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was optimized to maximize yield and total carbohydrate content extracted from the red algae, Pterocladia capillacea. The extract was shown to possess potent antioxidant activity of up to ~70%, and was successfully used as a reducing and capping agent in the green synthesis of copper nanoparticles, which were characterized by UV-spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS).
