Head of Research
BRIGHT LIGHTSAND SHATTERED DREAMS.Yi Chen looked up at the bright lights and corner offices of Wall Street and wanted it all. And he nearly had it. After emigrating from China and earning his PhD in physics from the University of Pennsylvania, Yi landed at Goldman Sachs, a quantitative analyst on the rise. After leaving Goldman to seek his fortune as a trader, the roller-coaster ride began and Yi's life became a nightmare of lighting-fast promotions and blowups, fueled by office politics. While working for one investment bank, Yi found himself in line for a million-dollar paycheck and a bulletproof, executive position. However, jealous traders and managers soon undermined his position and had him ousted. His was forced to start his career climb all over again. A story of perseverance, loss and redemption, Head of Research is a lesson in career ambition and personal fortitude. With the odds stacked against him, Yi Chen never gave up chasing his dream. He still hasn't.
Practising Rhythmanalysis
This book explores rhythmanalysis as a philosophy and asa research methodfor the study of cultural historical experiences. It formulates 'rhythm' as a critical concept which is defined in dialogic relationships to intellectual traditions, yet introducing unique philosophical positions that serve to re-think ways of conceiving and addressing cultural political issues. Engaging with the notion of 'conjunctural shift', which for Stuart Hall captures the ruptured social landscape of Britain in the 1970s, the book then puts the method of rhythmanalysis to work by testifying the changing cultural experiences in rhythmic terms. This particular rhythmanalytical project instantiates while opening up ways of using rhythmanalysis for exploring cultural historical experiences."
Chen Yi
Winner of the Leila Webster Memorial Music Award for the International Alliance for Women in Music of the 2022 Pauline Alderman Awards for Outstanding Scholarship on Women in Music Chen Yi is the most prominent woman among the renowned group of new wave composers who came to the US from mainland China in the early 1980s. Known for her creative output and a distinctive merging of Chinese and Western influences, Chen built a musical language that references a breathtaking range of sources and crisscrosses geographical and musical borders without eradicating them. Leta E. Miller and J. Michele Edwards provide an accessible guide to the composer's background and her more than 150 works. Extensiv...

This two volume set LNCS 8644 and LNCS 8645 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications, DEXA 2014, held in Munich, Germany, September 1-4, 2014. The 37 revised full papers presented together with 46 short papers, and 2 keynote talks, were carefully reviewed and selected from 159 submissions. The papers discuss a range of topics including: data quality; social web; XML keyword search; skyline queries; graph algorithms; information retrieval; XML; security; semantic web; classification and clustering; queries; social computing; similarity search; ranking; data mining; big data; approximations; privacy; data exchange; data integration; web semantics; repositories; partitioning; and business applications.
Hors-champ
Quand on est face à une photo de fenêtre, qu'est-ce qui nous touche, que regarde-t-on ? Le décor autour de la fenêtre, la fenêtre elle-même, le champ dans le cadre de la fenêtre, la totalité de la photo ou un espace plus large, plus lointain et invisible ? Ce « hors-champ » mystérieux naît peut-être d'une association avec un espace-temps, d'une imagination fictionnelle ou de l'écho d'un état d'esprit, fragments et moments confluents de scènes invisibles, absentes ou vides.
The Aesthetics of Image and Cultural Form
Offering an alternative mode of visual cultural analysis to the prevalent discursive model, this book proposes to situate analysis of Image within ‘formal’ analyses of culture experience. Specifically, the discussion draws on theories of affective aesthetics with the view of addressing the sensual form of culture (i.e. ‘cultural form’). Therefore, the volume puts forward a mode of formalist analysis in visual cultural research which takes purchase on the idea of ‘cultural form’. A continuum of formalist attention between Image analysis (visual media, industrial design) and probing of ‘cultural forms’ establishes the theoretical underpinning of the book. These concepts are expounded through a case study which looks at formal experimentations and debates arising from 1960s avant-garde artistic practices in London.
Echoes of the Silk Road: Stories of the Orient by a Master Storyteller
My mother was born and raised in China by her American missionary parents. Throughout my childhood growing up in Michigan, my mother and my grandfather told my brother and me stories about their life in the Orient. My grandfather was a superb storyteller and I was always fascinated by his descriptions of the Chinses people and their culture. Later I would live in both Korea and Japan, adding to my interest in the Far East. Each of these fictional short stories is anchored in Chinese and Japanese history and, in some part, on my firsthand experiences and those of my mother and grandparents.
Computational Intelligence Assisted Design
Computational Intelligence Assisted Design framework mobilises computational resources, makes use of multiple Computational Intelligence (CI) algorithms and reduces computational costs. This book provides examples of real-world applications of technology. Case studies have been used to show the integration of services, cloud, big data technology and space missions. It focuses on computational modelling of biological and natural intelligent systems, encompassing swarm intelligence, fuzzy systems, artificial neutral networks, artificial immune systems and evolutionary computation. This book provides readers with wide-scale information on CI paradigms and algorithms, inviting readers to implement and problem solve real-world, complex problems within the CI development framework. This implementation framework will enable readers to tackle new problems without difficulty through a few tested MATLAB source codes
