  • This paper deals with one of the hottest debates in the history of the Association for Asian American Studies (AAAS) since its inception in the late 1960s. In 1998 at Hawai'i, the AAAS awarded Lois-Ann Yamanaka its Fiction Award for her novel Blu's Hanging, only to have this award protested. The point at issue was the inappropriate representation of Filipino American characters called "Human Rats" in the novel. This event divided the association into two groups: one criticizing the novel for the problematic portrayal of Filipinos in colonial Hawai'i, and the other defending it from the criticism in the name of aesthetic freedom. Such a "crisis of representation" in Asian American identity reflects on the ways in which local Hawaiians are positioned in the complicate power dynamic between oppositional Hawaiian identity and cosmopolitan diasporic identity within the larger framework of Asian American pan-ethnic identity. The controversial event triggered the eruption of Asian Americans' anxiety over the identity-bounded nation of Asian America where intra-racial classism and conflict have been at play, which are primary themes of Blu's Hanging. This paper shows how Yamanaka's Blu's Hanging becomes so disturbing a work to prevent the hegemonic formality of Asian America identity from being fully dogmatic. Ultimately, it contradicts the political unconscious of the reading public and unmasked its false consciousness by engendering a "free subjective intervention" in the ideological reality of colonial Hawai'i.

  • Hanging sleepers, which are not fully supported between the sleepers and the ballast, could cause large dynamic forces especially on high speed ballasted track. The dynamic forces resulting from insufficient supporting forces may badly affect the running stability and safety of train. These also accelerate track irregularities and deteriorate track components rapidly. Consequently, the hanging sleepers will lead to sharp increases in track maintenance cost. This paper introduces a rapid and easy method to detect hanging sleepers with portable light falling weight deflectometer (LFWD) and summarizes the results of experiments performed at the high speed ballasted track.

  • Recently the Korean court accepts two typies of fisheries damages caused by oil pollution.. One is the direct loss of fisheries production originated from pollution of oil spillover. The other is the indirect loss of fisheries production originated from governmental measure of restricting fishing activities because of safety of marine product of oil spillover areas. The paper tries to suggest the appropriated measure of oil pollution damages of hanging and floating netcage aquaculture fisheries using the court judgement for responsibility restriction on Herbei Spirit Case. The paper tries to compare the damge estimation method of floating netcage aquaculture fisheries with that of natural aquaculture fisheries using conventional theory of the population biology of living resources characterized with age distribution.

  • Headspace hanging drop liquid phase micro-extraction (HS-HD-LPME) is studied as a novel solvent-based sample pretreatment method for floral volatile aroma compounds. This paper reports on application of the HSHD- LPME combined with GC-MS for the analysis of linalool component emitted from evening primrose flowers. The effect of several variables on the method performance was investigated. Additionally, the separation of enantiomers on a cyclodextrin capillary column was performed to identify chirality of (−)-linalool component. Since the unsurpassed volume of a few micro-liters of solvent is used, there is minimal waste or exposure to toxic organic solvents. This method enables to combine extraction, enrichment, clean-up, and sample introduction into a single step prior to the chromatographic process.

  • In this paper, a damaged example of hanging guide frame used in the lifting of shore protection caisson was investigated. An examination of the stress and stability of members was carried out by structural analysis and the causes of damages was investigated. The stability analysis considering local and global stress buckling was performed. As a result of stability analysis. the first structure was unstable structure. Therefore improved structure was examined and the best effective methodology was the reassignment of wire.

  • For the purpose of developing economical and time-efficient formwork for Top-down construction, a Non-Supporting Form System has been proposed. The system is consisted of two parts: a hanging part to support a steel frame and a section of concrete slab, and the other hanging part to lower the steel frame. In this paper, the proposed system is compared to two existing systems of Non Supporting Top-down Method and Bracket Supported R/C Downward Method. It is expected that this system can be used in Top-down construction with further development.

  • This paper presents the two-step strategy method of performing optimal scheduling of paper mill processes using MINLP (Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Programming) considering the trim loss problem in sheet cutting processes. The mathematical model for a sheet cutting process in the form of MINLP is developed in this study, and minimizing total cost is performed considering the cost of raw paper roll, :hanging cutting patterns, storage of over-product and recycling/burning trim. The paper has been used to deliver and conserve information for a long time, and it is needed to have various sizes and weights ...

  • This paper, a basic study on the restoration of arrow quivers during the Three Kingdoms Period, aimed to contribute details to the existing plan to restore the arrow quivers. The arrow quivers of the Three Kingdoms Period consist of a pouch for holding arrows and a backpiece. However, the two parts do not remain, and only metal parts have been excavated. The excavated arrow quivers were classified into three types for restoration. Centered on the pouch, the quivers were classified into type 1 made up of a W-shaped part and ㄷ-shaped part, and type 2 with only the band-shaped piece identified. Type 3 is similar to type 2, but it is assumed to be a separate type where an iron band extending from the hanging piece(吊手金具) is connected to a band-shaped piece. Before proposing a restoration plan for the three types of arrow quivers, the location of the hanging piece (吊手金具) and the observation of organic matter were reflected. In addition, such details as the location of the hanging piece (吊手金具), which cannot be identified by the excavation status alone, were derived from the ways of wearing the arrow quivers observed in the Joseon Dynasty, Shosoin (正倉院), and Haniwa (埴輪) in Japan. Referring to the existing record on the transformation of arrow quivers based on the hanging piece (吊手金具), the arrow quivers change from type 1 to types 2 and 3 in this paper. However, some of types 2 and 3 maintain the ways of wearing of type 1, and there were cases where the old-fashioned parts were kept. In particular, in Haman (咸安), it was confirmed that the typical type 1 was buried up until late periods.

  • This paper presents a simplified analysis method of determining the initial shape of suspension bridges, including the horizontal tension force of the main cable and the locations of each hanging point, considering the force equilibrium condition of each hanging point. This method is effective because it requires less effort than the methods used in other studies, for which complicated non-linear analysis was used, to comparatively determine the exact initial shape. The accuracy and validity of the present method are demonstrated by comparing the results of this study with those of previous researchers' numerical examples, including 2D and 3D models.

  • This paper describes a deadweight force standard machine with the weight change mechanism which can be used as a primary force standards at a national metrology institute. Since commercial deadweight force machine can generate forces by hanging weights to the weight supporter serially, force steps from deadweight force measuring devices of each having different capacity. In order to increase the force steps, we have specially designed a weight mechanism in which the machine can select the necessary weights and generate the load by hanging the selected weights to the weight supporter. The machine can generate 속 force of the range of 2 kN to 110 kN with force step of 1 kN. All weights have been accurately compensated and calibrated by a mass comparator and its standard uncertainty is less than 2.2 ${\times}\;10^{-6}$. The relative expanded uncertainty of the machine is 1.3 ${\times}\;10^{-5}$.
