This volume reports recent development in nuclear structure physics
and closely related topics. Particularly, it centers on new
methodologies and recent applications of the nuclear shell model
such as quantum Monte Carlo methods, large-scale shell model
calculations and microscopic theories of effective interactions.
Each review focuses on one fundamental topic closely related to the
nuclear shell model. Each topic is covered in sufficient depth and
detail to be accessible to a wide audience including nuclear
engineers and astrophysicists and those working in various fields
of scientific computing and modelling.
This volume contains the proceedings of a workshop held at Drexel
University from September 1 to September 3, 1980, under the joint
auspices of Drexel University, The University of Tennessee and
Vanderbilt University. The workshop dealt with subjects of topical
importance to the nuclear physics community: high spin phenomena,
heavy ion reactions, transfer reactions, microscopic theories of
nuclear structure and the interacting boson model, and
miscellaneous topics. This pro ceedings contains all of the invited
papers plus short manuscripts expanding on the materials of the
invited papers. A total of about 85 participants came to the
workshop. The format of the conference was kept informal on
purpose, so as to facilitate the discussions. Unfortunately, these
discussions, at times intense, could not be included in this volume
due to the lack of secretarial help during the meeting. A great
deal of current information was exchanged during the conference.
However, the full impact of a conference can only be realized when
the proceedings have been published and read by par ticipants as
well as other colleagues in this field of physics who were not in
attendance. We sincerely hope that these proceedings will be useful
in this regard."
This book presents the essential ideas of coherent states and
provides researchers and graduate students with the necessary tools
for various applications of generalized coherent state theory.
These applications include areas such as quantum information,
quantum phase transitions, quantum many-body systems, quantum
chaos, and quantum open systems. The aim of the book is to show how
coherent states can be applied to an extensive range of physical
systems. The authors provide many exercises at the end of each
chapter to enhance the mastery of the subject. Throughout the first
seven chapters, only an understanding of elementary quantum
mechanics is assumed, and for the last six chapters, some basic
knowledge of group theory is requested to follow the
arguments.Â
This is a book on the Belt and Road Initiative, written from an
unusual perspective - it is written by someone who was born in
India but raised in Singapore; who has never spent a day of
schooling in the greater China (Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and
Macau) but has Chinese heritage; who eventually built a long and
distinguished career in the West. With such an atypical background,
he took an off-the-beaten-path approach by asking the fundamental
question of how such an important initiative, began entirely by
China, can deeply impact and transform the millennium mindset of
Chinese.Such a transformation of the Chinese shall render a new
definition of what a 'powerful nation' in the 21st century should
be, for the betterment of humanity. This is unlike the one made by
Western civilization for many centuries since the Renaissance days.
Three main outcomes of the BRI have been embedded directly or
indirectly throughout the book: Supercontinent, Neo-Renaissance and
Cultural Communications. The author felt that these three outcomes
are the possible mitigation for the world in the 21st century,
facing existential challenges.Related Link(s)

Political, social and economic transformations have marked the 20
years since Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region of
China. To mark the historic handover, the Institute of Advanced
Studies (IAS) at Nanyang Technological University invited experts
from various fields to share their unique insights on the
developments and impact of the last 20 years on Hong Kong and
Singapore in a conference in Singapore.This volume is a compilation
of speeches and presentations delivered at the conference by such
heavyweight experts as Wang Gungwu, Antony Leung and Yang Jinlin on
the road travelled and the paths ahead for both cities. This volume
is an invaluable collection on Hong Kong and Singapore's past,
present and future. Readers can enjoy the salient analysis
delivered with great thought and reflective humour.
This book views the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a bold and
all-encompassing 21st century global effort by China, with
unprecedented perspectives. The BRI could be summarised as a
'revitalization' of China's ancient land-based and maritime silk
roads, but it should be noted that its impact on China and the
world stands on the foundation of omnipresent economics and how
China transforms its mindset in the 21st century.Though initiated
by China, the BRI's implementation has been a many-to-many effort
from the start. This multi-regional and multi-national effort is
distinctly different from the one-to-many effort of the Marshall
Plan. The two meaning-defining chapters of this book, 'Omnipresent
Economics: The Belt and Road Initiative Underpinning' and
'Supercontinent, Neo-Renaissance and Cultural Communications: The
Millennium Mindset Transformations Induced by the Belt and Road
Initiative', have made it abundantly clear that the BRI discussions
presented are unique.The discussions of this book could shed new
light on the BRI, a long-term and profound initiative by China,
which in today's global discussions and debates, are entirely
confined to geopolitical and economics arenas.
Born in New Delhi, raised in Singapore, and educated 'everywhere',
including Asia, the United States, and Europe - Professor Feng Da
Hsuan ( ) is the epitome of a man who has worn many hats in both
the East and West. From being the Vice President for Research and
Economic Development of the University of Texas at Dallas, Advisor
to the Vice Chairperson of the United States Congressional Armed
Services Committee and Senior Vice President of Global Strategy,
Development and Evaluation at National Tsing Hua University in
Taiwan, to his current position as the Director of Global Affairs
and Special Advisor to Rector, University of Macau, Professor
Feng's wealth of experience has complemented his inquisitive mind,
foresight, and forward-looking nature on education and its future,
evident in his speeches, articles, and reviews from the last decade
and a half.Edu-renaissance: Notes from a Globetrotting Higher
Educator brings together 50 of these pieces and they cover a wide
range of ever-relevant topics such as the value of higher education
in society, the role Asian universities have in the world, and hot
topics like university ranking. Professor Feng also shares his new
ideas and insight on promising young universities and higher
education in the 21st century. One example is his emphasis on how
the promotion of liberal arts and interdisciplinary approaches are
the way forward for higher education institutions in the 21st
century. By relating these topics to countries such as Taiwan,
Korea, India, China, the United States, Israel, and Russia, this
volume is ideal for readers who are part of a global community
concerned about one of the most important issues in the world today
- education.

A collection of papers taken from the Second International
Conference on Computational Physics, held in September 1993 in
Asia. The conference sought to promote new technology, new ways of
research, and new ways of thinking.
