Yuan Gao – författare

Born Red is an artistically wrought personal account, written very much from inside the experience, of the years 1966-1969, when the author was a young teenager at middle school. It was in the middle schools that much of the fury of the Cultural Revolution and Red Guard movement was spent, and Gao was caught up in very dramatic events, which he recounts as he understood them at the time. Gao's father was a county political official who was in and out of trouble during those years, and the intense interplay between father and son and the differing perceptions and impact of the Cultural Revolution for the two generations provide both an unusual perspective and some extraordinary moving moments. He also makes deft use of traditional mythology and proverbial wisdom to link, sometimes ironically, past and present. Gao relates in vivid fashion how students-turned-Red Guards held mass rallies against 'capitalist roader' teachers and administrators, marching them through the streets to the accompaniment of chants and jeers and driving some of them to suicide. Eventually the students divided into two factions, and school and town became armed camps. Gao tells of the exhilaration that he and his comrades experienced at their initial victories, of their deepening disillusionment as they utter defeat as the tumultuous first phase of the Cultural Revolution came to a close. The portraits of the persons to whom Gao introduces us - classmates, teachers, family members - gain weight and density as the story unfolds, so that in the end we see how they all became victims of the dynamics of a mass movement out of control.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First Deep Breast Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Imaging for Diagnostic and Treatment Challenges in Breast Care, Deep-Breath 2024, held in conjunction with the 26th International Conference on Medical Imaging and Computer-Assisted Intervention, MICCAI 2024, in Marrakesh, Morocco, on October 10, 2024.The 23 regular papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 51 submissions.The workshop provides an international platform for presentation of - and discussion on - studies related to AI in breast imaging. Deep-Breath aims to promote the development of this research area by sharing insights in academic research and clinical practice between clinicians and AI experts, and by exploring together the opportunities and potential challenges of AI applications in breast health. The deep-breath workshop provides, therefore, an unique forum to discuss the possibilities in this challenging field, aiming to create value that eventually truly leads to benefit for physicians and patients.

The 14th International Conference on Developments in Language Theory (DLT 2010) was held in London, Ontario, Canada on the beautiful campus of the University of Western Ontario. It was a four-day conference starting August 17 and ending August 20, 2010. The DLT conference series is one of the major international conference series in language theory. It started in Turku, Finland in 1993. Initially, it was held onceeverytwoyears. Since2001,ithasbeenheldeveryyear,oddyearsinEurope and even years in other continents. The papers submitted to DLT 2010 were from 27 countries all over the world, which include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, India, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Moldova, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, S- vakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Tunisia, UK, and the USA. Each paper was reviewed by three referees and discussed by the members of the Program C- mittee. Finally, 32 regular papers were selected by the Program Committee for presentation at the conference. There were six invited talks given at the c- ference.They were given by (in alphabetic order) Dora Giammarresi (Rome), MarkusHolzer (Giessen), OscarIbarra(Santa Barbara),Lila Kari(London,- tario), Michel Rigo (Liege), and Grzegorz Rozenber (Leiden). In addition, there were six posters on display at the conference. This volume includes all the 32 contributed papers, the papers or abstracts from the 6 invited speakers, and a 2-page abstract for each of the 6 poster papers.

Vibration assisted machining is becoming a potential machining process for difficult-to-cut materials in aerospace and biomedical applications. Three representative regimes (i.e., ultrasonically assisted machining, modulation assisted machining and elliptical vibration machining) are investigated in this book.

This book provides comprehensive technical information on SiC power devices from multiple perspectives, covering topics from device research and development to system applications. Chapters 1 to 4 focus on the characteristics of SiC devices, initially outlining the limitations of Si power devices and explaining why SiC has superior properties at the material level. It then offers updates on the latest developments in the SiC industry chain and products innovations, along with a detailed discussion of the characteristics and specifications of SiC Diodes and MOSFETs. Chapters 5 and 6 zoom in on SiC device testing and evaluation techniques, including CP testing, FT testing, system application testing, reliability assessment, failure analysis, and double-pulse testing. Chapters 7 to 12 focus on SiC device application technology, addressing common challenges in real applications and providing solutions. This includes voltage spikes during turn-off, crosstalk, common-mode current, common-source inductance, and driver circuits, concluding with case studies of SiC device applications in various scenarios. The book can serve as a textbook for higher education and vocational training, as well as a reference material for engineers in the power semiconductor and electrical electronics industries. To make the book genuinely helpful for readers, the authors have invested significant effort in content and data selection. First, the chosen technical points come from real-world requirements in device R&D and applications. Second, the book emphasizes practicality while integrating cutting-edge developments, detailing research outcomes with industrial potential. Third, the book offers a wealth of data and waveforms, most of which are actual measurements, to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Lastly, extensive further reading materials are provided at the end of each chapter for broader and deeper exploration.
