This volumes presents the proceedings of the FASMI 2020 conference,
held at Taipei Veterans General Hospital on November 20-22, 2020.
It presents contributions on all aspects of molecular imaging,
discovered by leading academic scientists and researchers. It also
provides a premier interdisciplinary treatment of recent
innovations, trend, and concerns as well as practical challenges
and solutions in Molecular Imaging and put an emphasis on
Artificial Intelligence applied to Imaging Data. FASMI is the
annual meeting of the Federation of Asian Societies for Molecular
Imaging
This volume showcases lecture notes collected from tutorials
presented at the Workshop on Moving Interface Problems and
Applications in Fluid Dynamics that was held between January 8 and
March 31, 2007 at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences, National
University of Singapore. As part of the program, these tutorials
were conducted by specialists within their respective areas such as
Robert Dillon, Zhilin Li, John Lowengrub, Frank Lu and Gretar
Tryggvason.The topics in the program encompass modeling and
simulations of biological flow coupled to deformable tissue/elastic
structure, shock wave and bubble dynamics and various applications
like biological treatments with experimental verification,
multi-medium flow or multiphase flow and various applications
including cavitation/supercavitation, detonation problems,
Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid, and many other areas.This volume
benefits graduate students and researchers keen in the field of
interfacial flows for application to physical and biological
systems. Even beginners will find this volume a very useful
starting point with many relevant references applicable.
This book gathers the proceedings of the IV International
Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (ICBHI 2019), held
on 17-20 April, 2019, in Taipei, Taiwan. Contributions span a range
of topics, including medical imaging, biosignal processing, biodata
management and analytics, public and personalized health systems,
mobile health applications and many more. The IV conference edition
gave a special emphasis to cybersecurity issues and cutting-edge
medical devices, as it is reflected in this book, which provides
academics and professionals with extensive knowledge on and a
timely snapshot of cutting-edge research and developments in the
field of biomedical and health informatics.
In this exciting new book, Taiwanese scholar Catherine Kai-Ping Lin
examines Taiwan's diplomatic history since the 1970s through the
lens of sports in the development of nationalism in foreign
relations. Since 1971, when Taiwan lost its United Nations seat to
the communist People's Republic of China, the country has gradually
shifted its foreign policy. Originally following its "One-China
Policy" -- conquering the mainland and reunifying China, -- Taiwan
has more recently promoted its status as an independent country
amid an international atmosphere in which it does not enjoy
diplomatic recognition. Presenting a highly original chronological
case study of the role of sports in the making of Taiwan's foreign
policy, Lin aims to enrich our understanding of Taiwan's unique
position in the world by arguing that nationalist forces within the
Taiwanese government - all the way up to its top leadership - used
athletic competition to promote Taiwanese nationalism and
nationhood.
Carbon-carbon bond formation is one of the most important topics in
organic synthesis. One of the most powerful methods for
constructing a carbon-carbon bond is the reductive coupling of
carbonyl compounds giving 1,2-diols. Of these methods, the pinacol
coupling, which was described in 1859, is still a useful tool for
the synthesis of vicinal diols. 1, 2-Diols obtained in the reaction
were very useful synthons for a variety of organic synthesis, and
were also used as intermediates for the construction of
biologically important natural product skeletons and asymmetric
ligands for catalytic asymmetric reaction. This book reviews
research done in the study of pinacol coupling, including recent
applications of ultrasound in pinacol coupling reactions.
Materializing Magic Power paints a broad picture of the dynamics of
popular religion in Taiwan. The first book to explore contemporary
Chinese popular religion from its cultural, social, and material
perspectives, it analyzes these aspects of religious practice in a
unified framework and traces their transformation as adherents move
from villages to cities. In this groundbreaking study, Wei-Ping Lin
offers a fresh perspective on the divine power of Chinese deities
as revealed in two important material forms-god statues and spirit
mediums. By examining the significance of these religious
manifestations, Lin identifies personification and localization as
the crucial cultural mechanisms that bestow efficacy on deity
statues and spirit mediums. She further traces the social
consequences of materialization and demonstrates how the different
natures of materials mediate distinct kinds of divine power. The
first part of the book provides a detailed account of popular
religion in villages. This is followed by a discussion of how rural
migrant workers cope with challenges in urban environments by
inviting branch statues of village deities to the city,
establishing an urban shrine, and selecting a new spirit medium.
These practices show how traditional village religion is being
reconfigured in cities today.
The Matsu archipelago between China and Taiwan, for long an
isolated outpost off southeast China, was suddenly transformed into
a military frontline in 1949 by the Cold War and the
Communist-Nationalist conflict. The army occupied the islands,
commencing more than 40 long years of military rule. With the
lifting of martial law in 1992, the people were confronted with the
question of how to move forward. This in-depth ethnography and
social history of the islands focuses on how individual citizens
redefined themselves and reimagined their society. Drawing on
long-term fieldwork, Wei-Ping Lin shows how islanders used both
traditional and new media to cope with the conflicts and trauma of
harsh military rule. She discusses the formation of new social
imaginaries through the appearance of 'imagining subjects',
interrogating their subjectification processes and varied uses of
mediating technologies as they seek to answer existential
questions. This title is Open Access.
