Beam diagnostics is an essential constituent of any accelerator, so that it is named as "organs of sense" or "eyes of the accelerator." Beam diagnostics is a rich field. A great variety of physical effects or physical principles are made use of in this field. Some devices are based on electro-magnetic influence by moving charges, such as faraday cups, beam transformers, pick-ups; Some are related to Coulomb interaction of charged particles with matter, such as scintillators, viewing screens, ionization chambers; Nuclear or elementary particle physics interactions happen in some other devices, like beam loss monitors, polarimeters, luminosity monitors; Some measure photons emitted by moving charges, such as transition radiation, synchrotron radiation monitors and diffraction radiation-which is the topic of the first part of this thesis; Also, some make use of interaction of particles with photons, such as laser wire and Compton polarimeters-which is the second part of my thesis. Diagnostics let us perceive what properties a beam has and how it behaves in a machine, give us guideline for commissioning, controlling the machine and indispensable parameters vital to physics experiments. In the next two decades, the research highlight will be colliders (TESLA, CLIC, JLC) and fourth-generation light sources (TESLA FEL, …

Recording of John Levack Drever's Butterfly Lovers. The title represents a traditional Chinese story presented in Cantonese. Sonic material generated from the grain (i.e. internal rhythm and timbre) of the recording of Wing Man Kwok's voice and two passages for flute. The work can be experienced on a phenomenological level with its emphasis on the sonic; equally and mutually it can be approached by the listener from a programmatic perspective (i.e. cinema for the ears).

Photograph of a flag from the Bob Kap Collection, held by UNT Special Collections. It is from the game between the Dallas Tornado team and the China National Football Association's Union Team. The second "A" is missing from the word association. There is Chinese writing at the top of the flag and a logo in the center that reads "CNFA" over a yellow football design with the flag of the Republic of China on it. The date of the game is also at the bottom. "20 Dec. 1967". The bottom of the flag goes into two points with a higher middle and yellow fringe along the bottom.

Photograph of a Chinese-American man writing a name in Chinese at the second annual Texas Folklife Festival. He is bending over a table to write the name; other Chinese writings and pictures are on the table. A stack of blank paper is also beside him.

Pre-print of a manuscript and dataset later published as a journal article comparing the cognate forms and phoneme inventories of 4 Lolo-Burmese languages: Akha, Hani, Khàtú, and Pìj̀ɔ̀. Includes handwritten notes, examples, and word lists comparing modern forms and Proto-Lolo-Burmese reconstructions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the curricular content of elementary music in China between 1912 and 1982. The questions addressed were: (1) What changes in elementary music resulted from China's becoming a republic in 1912? (2) What changes in elementary music resulted from China's becoming a socialist country in 1949? (3) What changes in elementary music in the People's Republic of China resulted from the Anti—Rightist Struggle Movement in 1957? (4) What changes in elementary music in the People's Republic of China resulted from the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976)? (5) Have changes occurred in elementary music in the People's Republic of China since the beginning of the reform movement in 1978? (6) Did any of the changes affect curricular goals, contents, methods, required materials, and instruction time allotted in a like manner, or did some of these components remain the same while others changed? (7) Were the changes important enough to attribute them to a changed political ideology? After translating all pertinent documents, the goals, contents, methods, materials, and time allotted for the elementary music curricula between 1912 and 1982 were listed and identified. Subsequently, the areas of focus within those categories as well as changes in focus …
