The Golden Apples of Yeats, the Silver Apples of Smith: W. B. Yeats’s Poetic Influences on A.J.M. Smith’s Work

Bennett Yu-Hsiang Fu 한국예이츠학회 2017 한국예이츠 저널 Vol.54 No.-

This essay will further investigate the relationship between Yeats and the key proponent of Canadian modernism, A. J. M. Smith and argue for significant Yeatian impacts on and connections with modern Canadian literature. Yeats’s cultural nationalism, compositional aesthetics, and poetic emancipation greatly shape Smith’s writing.

The Shamrock and the Maple Leaf : Yeats and Canadian Modernist Poetry

Bennett Yu-Hsiang Fu 한국예이츠학회 2016 한국예이츠 저널 Vol.51 No.-

캐나다 시의 정원에 뿌려진 씨앗 중에서 예이츠가 1차세계대전 이후의 캐나다의 대표적 시인들과 문학운동에 미친 직간접적 영향은 무시할 수 없다. 이 논문 은 아직 예이츠 연구분야에서 잘 다루어지지 않은 예이츠의 북미 강연여행(1903-4년)의 흔적 을 찾고자 한다. 그리고 캐나다 본연의 목소리를 내고자 하는 작가들에게 캐나 다의 몇몇 도시에서 행한 예이츠의 강연이 어떤 영감을 주는 지 연구할 것이다. G.D. 로버츠와 블리스 카먼의 작품에서처럼 예이츠와 그의 작품에 대한 수많은 비유와 비 교점은 캐나다의 시에 깊이 베어있다. 시의 요람으로서 캐나다 남부와 몬트리올의 맥 길대은 캐나다의 모더니스트 시인들을 생산하는데, 스미스를 대표로 하는 맥길그룹은 A.J.M 스미스와 F.R. 스콧이 편집하는 맥길 격주 리뷰 와 같은 군소 문예지를 통해 서 캐나다의 시에 체계적인 모더니즘 운동을 소개한다. 특히 스미스는 이전의 캐나다 의 시 기법에 아일랜드의 모더니스트적 기법을 녹여서 시의 혁신을 가져온다. 스미스 자신의 작품은 시작법과 강한 어조는 쉽게 예이츠의 시를 연상시킨다. 이 논문은 예이 츠와 아일랜드 문예부흥운동이 캐나다의 모더니스트 시 운동에 미친 가닥을 찾아서 문학의 직물을 짜고자 한다. Of all the seeds breeding Canadian poetry to the literary garden, Yeats’s direct and indirect influences on representative post-WWI poets and literary movements in Canada cannot be dismissed. This essay attempts to trace Yeats’s North American lecture tours (1903-4), still quite unremarked in Yeats Studies, and to examine how these lectures in some Canadian cities inspired the writers still striving to find a national, poetic voice. As in the works of G.D. Roberts and Bliss Carman, countless allusions and deliberate references to Yeats and his work pervade the Confederation verses. The literary cradle in Lower Canada, McGill University in Montreal, produced influential Canadian modernist poets, the McGill Group with Smith as a representative, with programmatic introductions of modernism into Canadian poetry in small magazines and literary journals such as McGill Fortnightly Review, edited by A.J.M. Smith and F. R. Scott. Smith particularly infuses the previous Confederation style with Irish modernist techniques into the poetic innovation. Smith’s own work is highly reminiscent of Yeats for the Yeatsian principle of versification and fervent speeches. This essay thus aims to pick up these threads and weave onto the literary fabric the Canadian modernist verse influenced by Yeats’s work and the Irish literary renaissance.

The Apocalyptic Vision of Nature in Ezra Pound’s Cantos LXXX and LXXXI

Bennett Yu-Hsiang Fu 한양대학교 수행인문학연구소 2010 수행인문학 Vol.40 No.1

This paper examines American modernist poet Ezra Pound’s Pisan Cantos 80 and 81 with a focus on the poet’s vision of nature as an apocalyptic power. In these two cantos, the divine essences of beauty and love manifest themselves in the phenomena of nature. In creating his own cosmos, the poet humanizes nature and harmonizes the surrounding objects with nature. With a poetic quality of “tenderness,” the poet’s capacity for sympathetic identification with inhuman forms of life makes up an attitude of reverent vigilance before the natural world. Pound also infuses in his poems the concept of Taoism characterized by the harmonious order in nature and between nature and man. Through writing nature as both the incarnated love and the medium to establish the harmonious relationship with humans, Pound regards nature as a redemptive power. The poetic form, despite its fragmentized quality, becomes proper in that it reflects the pulverization and reconstruction of the self in a process of healing, of coming to himself out of chaos. The mysteries in nature, “the green elegance,” ultimately point to the revelation of the apocalyptic power in Pound’s poetics.

“My soul frets in the shadow of his language”: The Poetics of Decolonization in the Works of W. B. Yeats and Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o

Bennett Yu-Hsiang Fu 한국예이츠학회 2019 한국예이츠 저널 Vol.59 No.-

Edward Said exemplifies W. B. Yeats as a poet of decolonization in relation to the downfall of imperial domination in Ireland as Yeats revitalizes the Irish heritage with patriotism and nationalism. The similar writing strategy of decolonization is employed by the Kenyan writer Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, who writes about the transition from precolonial reality to postcolonial modernity. This essay reads these two national playwrights by examining the poetics of decolonization in theatrical representations. Yeats’s play Cathleen ni Houlihan (1902) depicts the suppressed condition of the Irish peasantry that directly responds to Irish nationalism and decolonization of the Irish mind. In Decolonising the Mind (1986) and other Gikuyu plays, Ngũgĩ examines how cultural imperialism uses the colonialism as a psychological conquest in Africa and beyond. Conceptualizing the African theater as a site for resistance, Ngũgĩ traces the origin of drama in precolonial Kenya and contrasts the Kenyan theater with the British theatrical regime that destroys the indigenous empty space. Both authors stage politics and politicize the stage against British colonialism to bring their own heritage and language to revival. Both highlight the vernacular in theatrical performance while stressing such precious heritage to decolonize the mind of the audience.

An investigation on dicing 28-nm node Cu/low-k wafer with a Picosecond Pulse Laser

Hsu, Hsiang-Chen,Chu, Li-Ming,Liu, Baojun,Fu, Chih-Chiang The Korean Microelectronics and Packaging Society 2014 마이크로전자 및 패키징학회지 Vol.21 No.4

For a nanoscale Cu/low-k wafer, inter-layer dielectric (ILD) and metal layers peelings, cracks, chipping, and delamination are the most common dicing defects by traditional diamond blade saw process. Sidewall void in sawing street is one of the key factors to bring about cracks and chipping. The aim of this research is to evaluate laser grooving & mechanical sawing parameters to eliminate sidewall void and avoid top-side chipping as well as peeling. An ultra-fast pico-second (ps) laser is applied to groove/singulate the 28-nanometer node wafer with Cu/low-k dielectric. A series of comprehensive parametric study on the recipes of input laser power, repetition rate, grooving speed, defocus amount and street index has been conducted to improve the quality of dicing process. The effects of the laser kerf geometry, grooving edge quality and defects are evaluated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and focused ion beam (FIB). Experimental results have shown that the laser grooving technique is capable to improve the quality and yield issues on Cu/low-k wafer dicing process.

Particle Size and Loading Effects on Particle-Laden Flow with Mono-sized Droplets

( Wei Hsiang Lai ),( Wei Fu Lu ),( Keh Chin Chang ) 한국액체미립화학회 2010 한국액체미립화학회 학술강연회 논문집 Vol.2010 No.-

Turbulence modulation is an interaction between phases that occurs in multiphase flow, and turbulence intensity traditionally can be represented as an indicator of turbulence modulation. Many researchers paid attention on the subject, but no coincident conclusion can be proposed. A general cognition is that larger particles induced wake to enhance the fluid turbulence intensity and smaller particles suppressed the fluid turbulence intensity since the fluid eddy imparted energy to the smaller particle. Here, the authors orderly changed particle size of dispersed phase and mass loading ratio (LR) to study the change on fluid turbulence intensity. Mono-dispersed droplets with a narrow size distribution were used to load into a homogeneous turbulence to investigate the turbulence modulation. Particle Dynamic Analyzer (PDA) was used to measure the particle (droplets and tracers) dynamic information. The particle concentration effect can be significantly observed. After coupling particle concentration and particle wetting area (πd2), a linear relationship can be obtained and it represents the turbulence modulation dominated the dilute two-phase flow as our expectation.

Generalized Papoulis–Gerchberg algorithm for PA nonlinearity compensation in coded OFDM systems

Cho Li,Fu Sheng-Hsiang 한국통신학회 2024 ICT Express Vol.10 No.1

Iterative subcarrier regularization (ISR) has been recently proposed to mitigate the nonlinear noise caused by the saturation of power amplifiers in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems. The generalized Papoulis–Gerchberg algorithm (GPGA) used in ISR exploits the frequency-domain prior knowledge specified by standards and time-domain prior knowledge reserved by low nonlinearity amplitudes. It is a reconstruction-based method that may cause bit error rate (BER) degradation when coding techniques are applied. In this work, a dual-loop structure of the GPGA is presented to integrate the cancellation-based methods for maintaining the coding gain. By using a well-known cancellation-based method, iterative clipping noise cancellation (ICNC), as an example, simulations based on the IEEE 802.11ah verified that the proposed scheme effectively maintains the contribution of both the reconstruction-based and cancellation-based methods, thus significantly outperforming the ISR or ICNC in terms of coded BER.

Preparation and characterization of superhydrophobic coatings

Hsing-I Hsiang,Ming-Tsai Liang,Yu-Lun Chang,Hung-Chin Huang,Fu-Su Yen 한양대학교 세라믹연구소 2010 Journal of Ceramic Processing Research Vol.11 No.3

To obtain a surface with water-repelling and self-cleaning abilities attracts much interest in the nanotechnology age. In this study, a perfluroalkyl surfactant (perflurodecanoic acid, PFDA) was coated on nano-sized boehmite surfaces to obtain hydrophobic nano-particles via surface modification. Then the hydrophobic boehmite was coated on a transparent plastic film using spin-coating to obtain a hydrophobic film. The effects of various amounts of hydrophobic polymer on the adsorption behavior and contact angle for hydrophobic properties were investigated using FTIR, and a contact-angle meter. The adsorption of PFDA onto the surface of boehmite takes place through ionic bonding. The contact angles of the thin film prepared by spin coating PFDA-modified-boehmite on glass substrates were above 150o as the adsorption of PFDA onto the surface of boehmite reached saturation.
