Window onto a Vanished World: Lahu texts from Thailand in the 1960’s (open access)

Window onto a Vanished World: Lahu texts from Thailand in the 1960’s

This extremely valuable collection of texts in the Lahu language represents the language and culture in the 1960’s, a time when the heritage language and culture were still vibrant and not yet globalized, hence the title Window on a Vanished World. It is also one of the largest collections of texts in any Tibeto-Burman language. The texts are available as a book and online with the audio (originally from 1960’s magnetic tape). This is a massive achievement for all involved in the recording, conversion, and editing.

Developing Ultra-Fast Plasmonic Spiking Neuron via Integrated Photonics

This research provides a proof of concept and background theory for the physics behind the state-of-the-art ultra-fast plasmonic spiking neurons (PSN), which can serve as a primary synaptic device for developing a platform for fast neural computing. Such a plasmonic-powered computing system allows localized AI with ultra-fast operation speed. The designed architecture for a plasmonic spiking neuron (PSN) presented in this thesis is a photonic integrated nanodevice consisting of two electro-optic and optoelectronic active components and works based on their coupling. The electro-optic active structure incorporated a periodic array of seeded quantum nanorods sandwiched between two electrodes and positioned at a near-field distance from the topmost metal layer of a sub-wavelength metal-oxide multilayer metamaterial. Three of the metal layers of the metamaterials form the active optoelectronic component. The device operates based on the coupling of the two active components through optical complex modes supported by the multilayer and switching between two of them. Both action and resting potentials occur through subsequent quantum and extraordinary photonics phenomena. These phenomena include the generation of plasmonic high-k complex modes, switching between the modes by enhanced quantum-confined stark effect, decay of the plasmonic excitations in each metal layer into hot-electrons, and collecting hot-electrons by …

"Scent of Ink": A Study and Performance Guide of Selected Gagok by Wonju Lee (open access)

"Scent of Ink": A Study and Performance Guide of Selected Gagok by Wonju Lee

Wonju Lee (b. 1979) has already made her own unique contribution to Korean art song. Her songs commissioned by classical Korean music performers have been recorded and released on record labels such as Universal Music and Sony Music. Albums include the Gagok collection, Lee Hwa-woo, The Pear Blossom Falls published by Soo Moon Dang. Some songs have been published by music publishers in the United States such as Classical Vocal Reprints and in Korea by the Korean Traditional Music Resource Center. Wonju Lee's songs are being performed by singers not only in Korea but also in the United States. This study provides information regarding the history of Gagok (Korean art songs) and discusses two duets "Scent of Ink" and "Under the Cherry Tree," and three solo songs "Sam-Arirang," "Relationship," and "Loom Song" by Wonju Lee. This critical essay includes biographical information about the composer and poets, IPA transcriptions for each song, and both word-for-word and poetic translations. In addition, using the methodology from Carol Kimball's book Song: A Guide to Art Song Style and Literature, style sheets of musical characteristics for each song and for the composer are provided and serve as the basis for interpretive recommendations for performers.
