Owing to its origin in tropical and subtropical areas, rice is susceptible to cold stress. Low temperatures at the germination and seedling stages can result in seed loss, a delayed transplanting period, and lower final yield. In this study, 181 rice varieties from around the world were investigated for cold tolerance at the germination and seedling stages. At the germination stage, the responses of different rice varieties were examined based on the germination index, coleoptile length, and radicle length at low (13 °C) and control temperatures (25 °C). Significant variations in the germination index, coleoptile length, and radicle length were observed among varieties. Low temperature significantly decreased germination ability, and coleoptile and radicle growth in the studied varieties. At the seedling stage, cold tolerance of the rice varieties was evaluated based on the leaf color score under natural low temperature. Similar to the germination stage, at the seedling stage, significant variation in root and shoot growth was observed in the response of rice varieties to low temperature conditions. Based on the results from both the germination and seedling stages, two varieties (Hei-Chiao-Chui-Li-Hsiang and Ta-Mao-Tao) were selected as the best cold-tolerant varieties. Our results also indicate the benefits of warming treatments to protect rice seedlings from low temperature conditions.

Background:Although EULAR/ACR guidelines suggest tapering biologic treatment for RA following sustained remission in patients (pts), specific de-escalation (DE) regimens are not defined. The Phase IIIb Assessing Very Early Rheumatoid arthritis Treatment (AVERT)-2 trial (NCT02504268) is evaluating SC abatacept (ABA) + MTX versus ABA placebo (PBO) + MTX in Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibody (ACPA)-positive pts with early (ACR/EULAR 2010 criteria; disease duration ≤6 mths), active RA (SDAI >11). AVERT-2 was designed to investigate achievement of SDAI remission and a clinically meaningful dose DE strategy among pts in sustained remission who completed induction with ABA + MTX. In moderately to severely active RA and JIA patients, a relationship between ABA Cmin and efficacy was observed. Therefore, this analysis in very early RA patients, reports on the pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of ABA and the maintenance of remission during the DE period of AVERT-2.Objectives:To assess the relationship between changes in ABA exposure and the maintenance of remission and the effect of immunogenicity on exposure during the DE period of AVERT-2.Methods:Pts received blinded SC ABA (125 mg once wkly [QW]) + MTX or ABA PBO + MTX induction treatment for 56 wks. Pts who completed induction with ABA + MTX and had sustained SDAI remission (≤3.3 at Wks 40 and 52) were re-randomized 1:1:1 to ABA QW + MTX for 48 wks (Arm C), ABA every other wk (EOW) + MTX for 24 wks followed by ABA PBO + MTX for 24 wks (Arm D), or ABA QW + MTX PBO for 48 wks (Arm E) in the DE period. ABA trough (Cmin) and anti-drug antibody (ADA) samples were collected in all subjects during the DE period. Serum ABA concentrations and ADA were measured using a validated enzyme immunoassay method and an electrochemiluminescence assay, respectively. Efficacy endpoints included change from DE Day 1 in SDAI score, HAQ-DI score, Physician’s Global Assessment (PhGA), and tender (TJC) and swollen (SJC) joint counts. The relationship between ABA Cmin and efficacy endpoints were assessed. Additionally, the impact of immunogenicity on ABA Cmin was explored.Results:Mean ABA Cmin values remained stable throughout the DE period for subjects in Arms C and E. ABA Cmin values decreased by ~50% in subjects in Arm D for the first 24 weeks from the start of DE and were ~0 for weeks 24-48 consistent with the change in the frequency of ABA dosing from EOW to ABA withdrawal (Figure 1 top).Figure 1:Mean (SD) ABA Cmin values (top) and Mean Change From Baseline in SDAI (bottom) in Subjects in DE Arm C (ABA QW + MTX), D (ABA EOW + MTX followed by ABA placebo + MTX), and E (ABA QW + MTX placebo)The incidence of immunogenicity appeared to increase upon withdrawal of ABA in Arm D. ADA formation did not appear to affect ABA Cmin, as ABA Cmin remained consistent between pts with and without ADA.Upon withdrawal of ABA in Arm D, there appeared to be an increase in the mean change from baseline (Day 1 of DE) in SDAI over time, which followed a similar time course as the washout of ABA (Figure 1 bottom). Similar results were observed for other efficacy endpoints such as HAQ-DI, PhGA, TJC, and SJC.Conclusion:The PK data in these early onset, MTX-naive, ACPA+ RA pts correlated well with the maintenance of remission in Arms A and E. Tapering of ABA from EOW to MTX only in Arm D results in a corresponding decrease in ABA Cmin, an increase in positive antibody response, and loss of remission.References:[1]Emery et. al.

Underwater acoustic signature identification has been employed as a technique for detecting underwater vehicles, such as in anti-submarine warfare or harbour security systems. The underwater sound channel, however, has interference due to spatial variations in topography or sea state conditions and temporal variations in water column properties, which cause multipath and scattering in acoustic propagation. Thus, acoustic data quality control can be very challenging. One of challenges for an identification system is how to recognise the same target signature from measurements under different temporal and spatial settings. This paper deals with the above challenges by establishing an identification system composed of feature extraction, classification algorithms, and feature selection with two approaches to recognise the target signature of underwater radiated noise from a research vessel, Ocean Researcher III, with a bottom mounted hydrophone in five cruises in 2016 and 2017. The fundamental frequency and its power spectral density are known as significant features for classification. In feature extraction, we extract the features before deciding which is more significant from the two aforementioned features. The first approach utilises Polynomial Regression (PR) classifiers and feature selection by Taguchi method and analysis of variance under a different combination of factors and levels. The second approach utilises Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) selecting the optimised parameters of classifier via genetic algorithm. The real-time classifier of PR model is robust and superior to the RBFNN model in this paper. This suggests that the Automatic Identification System for Vehicles using Acoustic Signature developed here can be carried out by utilising harmonic frequency features extracted from unmasking the frequency bandwidth for ship noises and proves that feature extraction is appropriate for our targets.

SIFF SIDEBAR: EROTIC CINEMA OF LI HAN HSIANG AND CHU YUAN The legendary directors, Li Han Hsiang and Chu Yuan, made chamber period films in the 1970s for the Shaw Studios in Hong Kong, helmed by the famous Shanghainese brothers Run Run and Runme. Those of us who lived through this period would remember it as prolific time of Hong Kong-made erotica. Films such as the 1973 Illicit Desire (Li Han Hsiang), which featured nudity, were routinely advertised in cinema trailers but were never shown intact. Singapore International Film Festival assembled several landmark erotic works from this period and showed them in the city for the first time on film, and uncut. The Chinese Courtesan films, a gentler but more fatalistic vision of producer Runme Shaw, began with Chu Yuan's first pugilistic - erotic masterpiece, Intimate Confessions Of A Chinese Courtesan (1972). It is the story of an older...

When the Taiwanese composer, Tai-Hsiang Li received the National Cultural Award in 2013, he said, “My blood is full of music. If you take out the music from my life, I am nothing!” Tai-Hsiang Li brought contemporary music to Taiwan, combining folk music with the modern orchestra, and raising the quality of Taiwanese popular music. He almost single-handedly infused Taiwanese culture into classical, modern, popular, film, and television advertising music. His arrangements of folk music have shown the Taiwanese the beauty of their own music and inspired countless younger musicians. The music critic Chung-Heng Yang declared, “Without Tai-Hsiang Li, the music history of Taiwan will not be complete.” After the composer’s death in 2014, his life story was made public by various media, but many of the information disseminated were not accurate. Musicians have difficulties performing his works because of his constant revisions to his scores. For this thesis, I have personally interviewed the composer’s family and the Hakka singer Yu-Wei Hsieh. I investigated documents, collected Hakka mountain songs and three different editions of his Hakka-style suite Mountain and Farmland. I also investigated journal articles, newspaper articles, and read the books about the composer. In addition to presenting an updated biography of Tai-Hsiang Li’s life, I also prepare a critical performance edition of the Mountain and Farmland. It is my desire that more musicians will find interest in performing Mountain and Farmland as well as scholars doing research on Hakka music and works by Tai-Hsiang Li.

In the 1970s, under the political and diplomatic chaos in Taiwan, the society raised a wave of national consciousness and opened the era of campus folk songs. In the creation of popular songs, there were cases where literary works are transformed into lyrics. Taiwanese musician and composer, Li Tai-Hsiang (1941–2014), was no exception; in addition to creating serious music and adapting traditional folk songs, Li Tai-Hsiang also published many popular songs. The popular songs created by Li Tai-Hsiang in the 1970s and 1980s were regarded as classics by the public. In the popular songs of the time, "Li Tai-Hsiang style" has unique and highly recognizable characteristics. As for the characteristics of music, there is no specific answer yet. Therefore, this thesis will take Li Tai-Hsiang's songs as the research subject, and carry out the research on the characteristics of "Li Tai-Hsiang style" in the category of popular music. The first chapter, "Introduction", introduced the full text. The second chapter, "The History of Taiwanese Popular Music", was divided into three stages: the Japanese colonial period, post–World War II and period of martial law, and after the lifting of martial law. The third chapter, "Introduction to Li Tai-Hsiang's Biography", discussed Li Tai-Hsiang's life and popular music creation, and concept as the forerunner of the fourth chapter. The fourth chapter, "Selection and Analysis of Li Tai-Hsiang's Popular Songs", selected Li Tai-Hsiang's eight popular songs and researched about lyrics and music. The fifth chapter, "The emergence of "Li Tai-Hsiang" style of features", was based on the results of the third chapter and the fourth chapter, to show two features which "Li Tai-Hsiang style" was special and rich. Finally, summarized in the sixth chapter, "Conclusion", to clarify Li Tai-Hsiang had important position and influence in the history of popular music.

The theme in this work of art is “Wind & Ink.” First of all, begining with the artist’s view and reflection during the creative process, the artist tries to explore the idea of his creation and prove the value of self-existence in the trend of modern diverse arts. He intends to pursue the pholosophy of peace, quietness and simplicity with the combination of the abstractive performance and the atmosphere elicited by the natural phenomenon-wind. Second, through the literature review, the artist thus acquires more about the evolution of the abstract aesthetics in traditional Chinese ink art and the pursuit of writing brush and ink. The artist used the ink and pigment as his creative materials and the chapped methods as his way of drawing. Finally, he used the variety of line density to show his inner feelings after observing and realizing the nature, therefore vitalizing his creation with a deeper level.

Li Tai-Hsiang (1941-2014) was a contemporary composer with peculiar styles, having a wide range of creations in different musical areas, including serious music, art songs, popular songs, aboriginal music and even soundtrack. In addition, to further broaden his horizon in music creation, he composed avant-garde, experimental modern music as well. Li had actively participated in various activities of modern music since 1960. His works in “Zhiyue Xiaoji” and “Contemporary Music and Dance Exhibition” authentically represented his innovative and exploratory music styles at early times. In September, 1972, invited by the United States Department of State, Li visited and presented his works in the center for Project of Music Experiment at the University of California, San Diego. The next year after he came back, he held eight exhibitions on “tradition and future” (Chuantong Yu Zhanwang) in succession, putting into practice his ideals of music that encompasses both tradition and modernism. This study focuses on Li Tai-Hsiang’s creative approaches and music styles in the context of modern music promotion in Taiwan. Examples of relative music works are divided into two parts: the daring experimental works at early times, and the modern works of tradition and innovation. Chapter one, Li Tai-Hsiang’s Modern Music Movement and Innovation, details his hard work on promoting modern music and his creative thinking of originality at that time. Chapter two, Li Tai-Hsiang’s Use of Experimental Techniques, attempts to discuss the different media, forms, and creativities in his works, from a perspective of the uniqueness of experimental music. Chapter three, Analyses of Li Tai-Hsiang’s Two Chamber Music Works, looks into Lianxing Bian and Styles: Chi, Cut, Flow, and discusses Li’s attempts to merge the syntax of the twentieth century Western music with the traditional music spirits. The conclusion chapter summarizes Li Tai-Hsiang’s music performances and his efforts to develop and practice modern music creation in Taiwan, which serves as references for further future studies.

The objective of this study was to investigate the evolution trend for traditional and modern ink painting from the form and content. The painting themes in this study were drawn from mountains and rivers in nature landscape. Formally, modern ink painting has tripped from the stick strokes specification of traditional ink. However, in the spiritual meaning, modern ink painting still cherishes the traditional aesthetics. Misty ink method and vivid atmosphere rhythm are still the pursuing performance of artistic spirit for ink painters. The author has a literary background; thus the perspectives of literature, philosophy, and art history were further investigated. In the first Chapter, the motivation and objective, research scope, and relationship between research and creation were expounded. The second Chapter discussed the origin and evolution of the aesthetics of mountains and rivers. The travel literature was prosperous in the Dynasties Wei and Jin. It enlightened landscape painting and combined with the thoughts of Taoism resulting to a unique aesthetics of literati landscape painting. In the third Chapter, the art performance of pen brush sensation and ink rhythm in traditional literati painting in contrasting with the new interpretation of strokes, lines, and texture in modern ink painting were further investigated. The lines are still the main element of picture composition, but a variety of new performance vocabulary has been presented in the works of modern ink painters. This explains that the ink painting should follow the contemporary concepts. In the fourth Chapter, the creative ideas of modern ink art were discoursed and focused on the connection with new mediums and experimental techniques to new age thinking. The creative ideas and forms of the author were explained in the fifth Chapter by analyzing self-works. The author summarized the conclusions from the traditional literati painting over self-exploration processes in modern ink painting and self-expectations for the future.

In the beginning, the introduction gives a general overview of the directions of my two different creations respectively, including the “Animal Fables” series and the “Repeat” series. After then, I take the “Repeat” series, created during 2010-2013, as the main axle to discuss in this paper. The opening chapter uses my own motive of creation as a start. Through excerpting part of accounts in Yayoi Kusama’s autobiography, Infinity Net -The Autobiography of Yayoi Kusama, it assists me in explaining my motive of creation, and moreover, emphasize it. Furthermore, I analyze my source of inspiration for my own creations and my motive of creation based on the concept of the “Shadow” in Jungian psychology.The “Shadow” serves as a bridge between the preceding and the following. In chapter two, I used “Labyrinth” as the main topic to narrate my problems of the self and creation process. The discussion in chapter three mainly aims at the four sub-classifications under the “Repeat” series in my creations, Through analyzing the forms and characteristics in my creations, I’m allowed to introspect and inspect the deductive process of my creations. In addition, I take plenty of fragments of artworks which were created on the subject of “repeat” as a comparison in chapter four. Consequently, it makes my art consciousness more definite. By means of the description above, it makes me realize the part that I have left out of consideration. Last but not least, I expect myself to start a new adventure through another “labyrinth of creation” with plenty of new ideas one day.

Tai-Hsiang Li Digital Archive was one of the efforts of the Taiwan e-Learning and Digital Archives Program (TELDAP) aiming to store digitized masterpieces of one Taiwanese Musician, Tai-Hsiang Li, and made accessible by National Chiao Tung University from the year of 2006. This archive provides the digital data of Tai-Hsiang Li’s compositions over the past forty years. Currently, this digital archive has compiled abundant contents. The next goal will be to publicize and popularize this archive. In view of improving the website usability and experiential marketing, this study surveys the user experience in using the archive. Via understanding how users are satisfied with the design and functionalities of the associated website, we are capable of improving the quality of the web services. 397 questionnaires were collected between 01/06/2010 and 02/24/2010. Responses to open-ended questions were manually analyzed and those to the close-ended ones were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe, and Chi-square test. The research findings are summarized and listed as follows. 1. The Usability of the website: (1) Most users feel positive about the learnability, efficiency and memorability of the website. They also appreciate the availability of the service but suggest strengthening the visibility of the website and updating its content to increase the hits. Younger users suggest improving aesthetics of the web pages and customizing the interfaces tailored to meet individual needs. (2) Nearly 20% of the users notice error messages constantly generated but 30% of them consider the mistakes tolerable. The users have disparate tolerance of website errors. We suggest finding out the programming problems of the web pages in order to minimize the chances of acquiring negative impressions. 2. Users' feelings about the Experience Providers(ExPros) of the website: (1) We suggest enhancing the typesetting and the coloring of the website in order to enrich its artistic characteristics. It is also recommended to devise a more attractive title for the website and further elaborate the presentations of its content. Moreover, to include the art work that is the joint creation of Master Li and other artists will certainly enrich the contents and values. (2) Most users feel that the outstanding archiving is not commensurate with its popularity. They suggest boosting number of hits by highlighting the multimedia contents and engaging social network such as to embed the URL links of the website in popular blogs or their equivalence. This effort will be further amplified if non-virtual promotion activities can take place hand-in-hand. The participants are expected to recollect those pulsating moments in these activities. 3. Users' feelings about the Experience Marketing of the website: (1) Frequent users of the archive have the strongest susceptibility to components of experiential marketing such as sensory experiences (SENSE)Sense Experience, affective experiences (FEEL)Feel Experience and creative cognitive experiences (THINK)Think Experience. We would suggest emphasizing the advantage points of the web site, presenting the inherited aesthetics, simulating the senses via multimedia, arousing the forgotten feelings and bringing about the lost passion. (2) The users having short visits of the website have strongest susceptibility to physical experiences, behaviours and lifestyles (ACT)Action Experience and social-identity experiences that result from relating to a reference group or culture (RELATE)Relate Experience. The senior users have the highest satisfaction with Action Experience. It could be because Master Li’s music reconnect them back to the good old times. The busy modern people easily lose track of what they once loved. The archive provides an opportunity to arouse people’s love to music and encourage people to participate in relevant activities.
