abstract: ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the history of the early medieval city Ye 鄴 and its place in the literary tradition. Ye was the powerbase of the warlord Cao Cao 曹操 (155–220) and the birthplace of the Jian’an 建安 literature. It was also the capital city of the Later Zhao 後趙 (319–349), the Former Yan 前燕 (337–370), the Eastern Wei 東魏 (534–550), and the Northern Qi 北齊 (550–577). Through a contextualized close reading of a variety of literary and historical texts, including poems, prose, scholar notes, and local gazetteers, this study shows how Ye, destroyed in 580, continued to live on in various forms of representation and material remains, and continued to evolve as an imagined space that held multiple interpretations. The interpretations are represented in works that treat the heroic enterprise of Cao Cao in founding the city, the double-sided poems that collapsed celebration and themes of carpé diem in the Jian'an era, and in tropes of sorrow and lamentation on the glories, or ruins, of the city that had passed its life in a brilliant flash, and then was lost to time and text. Ye’s most iconic structure, the Bronze Bird Terrace, developed a distinct terrace-scape, a nearly mythical space where poets tangled with questions of sorrow, consciousness after death, and lamentation for women forced to serve their lord long after his demise. The last material vestiges of the city, its tiles which were shaped into inkstones, created a discourse in the Song and Yuan periods of heavy censure of Cao Cao's exercise of power and his supposed eventual failure of ambition and retreat to concern over meaningless material possessions. Over the years, these representations have seen in Ye a fertile ground, either experienced or imagined, where questions about political rise and fall and about the meaning of human life could be raised and partially answered. This dissertation looks closely at the ambivalent attitudes of writers through the ages about, and at their sometimes ambiguous representation of, the status and meaning of that ancient city. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation East Asian Languages and Civilizations 2016

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2003. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 83-89). / This thesis seeks to examine the extent of the role that the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) played in Taiwan's high-technological development and whether developing countries of today can promote such development by creating similar institutional arrangements. Literature on innovation systems was reviewed, particularly national innovation systems and the role of R&D institutions within these. Taiwan's recent economic success, deemed attributable to economic and institutional reforms in recent decades, was also studied. In depth analysis was carried out of its leading high-technological research institute, ITRI, which bridges the gap between industry and academia. Although the case of Taiwan is sometimes presented as a unique example of industrial success of an SME-based state, this thesis argues that this success was possible because the research and development process had a large institute at its core. One way of creating such a research scale is by merging existing institutes, a process that would result in more efficient use of capital and human resources. The case of high-technological development in Pakistan is briefly assessed in order to gauge how its existing institutions structure could be amended to allow such changes to be made. The study concludes with the following three main points: (i) scale is an important factor: Taiwan's SME-based industry was able to succeed because of a large research institute at its core; (ii) in developing countries, governments decide which form of high-technology to pursue and when; thus, timing and choice of sector are important; and (iii) political leadership was seen to be important in the case of Taiwan's development in high-technology, and can play a key role in developing countries of today. / by Fareeha Yasmin Iqbal. / M.C.P.

ABSTRACT The effect of the urban landscape development influenced by the urban architecture movement through the means of participation during the evaluation process of the Yuan-Ye Building Landscape Award, sponsored by the Kaohsiung Judicious Creative Architecture Association is presented. The optimum resolutions of the public issues and policies through applying the mechanism of the participation of the public during the judging process have made the Award distinct from the others. In the process, the Award has implemented the following steps to accomplish the objectives: applying the resource control from top down with a communication channel from bottom up, creating a new type of workgroup among the sponsors, professionals, and the public through participation of working with and learning from each other, forming of informal team to reduce miscommunications between the fields, conducting community meetings and revising questionnaire to modify participation strategy to seek urban space issues and to set the judging criteria, and, finally, offering realistic solutions to resolve the actual urban space issues. To act on a theory as a study method, the Award, through the participants¡¦ comments of different roles to the situations and environments in the evaluation process while maintaining a comprehensive recordation, has developed a model of execution with suggested steps. In the process of action, with the complexity of the model and the growing number of participants and societies, the scale and the influenced range expanded gradually. In order to clear the situations, the report divided the system into two stages, the development stage and the fulfillment stage. Each stage has different steps with different events. The events such as the milestone of the event, the cooperation of the government, the reaction of the professionals and the expected result, all will interact on each other causing different effects to the whole operation. The feedback of the action can be extended to analysis the mechanism and interact of the model. The suggestion of improvement can be supplied to provide helpful information for the future reference.
