Speaker: Jennifer EichmanVenue: 1213 Chengjun Court, Zijingang CampusAbstract: This seminar will explore in great depth the use of academic footnotes and their relationship to research and documentation. What information belongs in the body of an article or chapter and what information should be relegated to a footnote? Are footnotes only for documenting sources? What types of explanations might one fruitfully add to a footnote? Moreover, what constitutes good academic documentation? Do scholarly standards for documenting classical Chinese sources constantly change? What are the different methods of documentation? What do academics think? What do publishers accept? We will discuss some modern standards, but we will also look at the work of two great Chinese scholars, the historian Chen Yuan 陳垣 (1880-1971) and the encyclopedist Chen Yuanlong 陳元龍 (1652-1736) and discuss what the standards of citation were in their time. Our brief discussion of Chen Yuanlong  and Chen Yuan should help sharpen our analytical skills as we think comparatively about standards of documentation in Chinese and Western journals.

Speaker: Ngaiming MOK, The University of Hong KongVenue: 210 Haina Complex Building 2, Zijingang CampusAbstract: In this lecture.I will focus on characterization problems involving VMRT's and sub-VMRTs. This includes the problem of rigidity under projective deformation of rational homogeneous spaces X= G/P of Picard number 1 (Hwang-Mok 2005). the Recognition Problem for the characterization of X = G/P by its VMRT Cx(X) c PTx(X) at a general point(Mok 2008. Hong-Hwana 2008. Hwang-Li 2021) and the problem in algebraic geometry of characterizing certain projective subvarieties of X such as smooth nonlinear Schubert cvcles Hong-Mok 2013. 2021:Mok-Zhang 2019). In addition, we give applications of our study of sub-VMRT structures to rigidity problems conceming proper holomorphic maps on the interface of several complex variables and Cauchy-Riemann geometry (Kim-Mok-Seo 2023) and to the characterizationof certain holomorphic isometric embeddings of the complex unit ball in Kähler geometry(Mok-Yang)

Speaker: Jiayu Li, University of Science and Technology of ChinaVenue: 210 Haina Complex Building 2， Zijingang CampusAbstract: In the talk we will review PDE methods in geometric analysis, mainly Li Yau gradient estimates, Sacks-Uhlenbeck blow-up analysis, and the geometric flow method. We will also talk our results in the fields.

Speaker: Zhipei LiangVenue: Lecture Theater East 102/103, Haining CampusAbstract: Scientific research requires powerful tools for clucidating the secrets of nature. Today, understanding the brain — how itworks and what goes wrong when it is injured or diseased—is considered one of the last frontiers in science, and it has posed significant challenges for scientists and engineers to develop effective tools to meet this objective.Since its invention in the early 1970s, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has revolutionized radiology, neuroscience andmedicine.And yet, the magnetic resonance phenomenon (often known as spin in physics) has never ceased to amaze those inthe field with new capabilities emerging every few years. Recent synergistic integration of AI with MRI is transforming the field and producing unprecedented imaging capabilities to unravel the mystery of the brain. This talk will give an overview of the major scientific discoveries and technical innovations behind the development of MRI and discuss new exciting opportunities available to develop next-generation AI-powered MRI systems.

Speaker: Andrew T. ForcehimesVenue: Chengjunyuan, Building 4, Room 311Time: 27th December, 2024 14:00Abstract:Reasonableness lies at the heart of normativity. To claim that you are being reasonable is to claim that you have lived up to the standards of reason. To claim that you are being unreasonable is to claim that you have not. Yet not everything is open to assessments of reasonableness. The actions and attitudes of cognitively unsophisticated animals are neither reasonable nor unreasonable. They are areasonable, falling outside the domain of reason. This talk is concerned with locating and explaining this boundary. The view I aim to defend holds that something is assessable for reasonableness if and only if and because it is the functional effect of reasoning.
