Podcasts about USTC

USTC har dummet sig, mener eksperterne. I mere end en måned har offentligheden ventet på virksomhedens udlægning af den ulmende miljøkatastrofe ved Nordic Waste uden for Randers. Den leverede den så i form af en pressemeddelelse, der styrker billedet af virksomheden som en skurk ”så ren som Snehvides stedmor”. Det efterlod til gengæld spillepladen helt åben for, at statsminister Mette Frederiksen trak i gummistøvlerne og stillede op ved jordskredet som en anden Robin Hood. Thomas Hundsbæk mener dog, hun tager noget af en chance med det besøg. Vi taler også om ”hyggefælden”, efter at Marchen Neel Gjertsen fortalte om at skrive vennernes jobansøgninger og akademiske opgaver i et interview med magasinet Euroman.

The relation between ventilation conditions and fire severity is quite a fundamental one. You don't even have to be a fire safety engineer to realize that more air means a bigger fire. But how does air get into the compartment fire in the first place?Through broken windows of course!And here we come to the subject of today's episode. Because with all the considerable improvements in glazing technologies for building facades, is it really okay to assume that the glazing has failed and all we are left is a giant hole that allows the air flow inside? How does the glass fail, and when and what exactly are the consequences of this failure? These are the questions asked to professor Wang Yu of the State Key Laboratory of Fire Science (SKLFS) at USTC, China. Yu takes me through his research from his PhD at Edinburgh, and through more recent experiments carried out by his group in China. We discuss FEM modelling of glass and some specific behaviour of modern glazing technologies exposed to different kinds of fires.If you would like to learn more about this fundamental topic, here are some great further reading resources (Yu has so far 29 papers on this subject and these are just the tip of the iceberg!):Experimental study on fallout behaviour of tempered glass façades with different frame insulation conditions in an enclosure fireInvestigation of the thermal response and breakage mechanism of point-supported glass facade under wind loadDetermination of critical fallout condition of tempered glass in an enclosure fireThe effect of glass panel dimension on the fire response of glass façadesCrack evolution process of window glass under radiant heatingDetermination of critical breakage conditions for double glazing in fire

Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we catch up with  Tom Yin, one of the newest research analysts at 21Shares. He recently published an fascinating article about the collapse and rebirth of Terra. We are going to explore the article and ask some follow up questions that many of you have been asking. Welcome to the seventy-second episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on June 14th 2022. Today we dive into all things Terra, from the crash of LUNAC to the launch of the new chain LUNA. We go through some of the recent rumors and reflect on what is to come in the future. I also would like to thank my employer Amun Tokens for making podcasts like this happen. Please don't forget to check us out and our products at tokens.amun.com.  Thanks everyone for listening and don't forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe. Topics Covered Today: Before we dive into the guts of today's story, why don't you give our listeners and viewers some background on Terra, LUNA, USTC and LUNAC Why do you think everything happened the way it did? Do you believe the rumors that this whole situation was premeditated? So Terra has a new chain without UST. What are the prospects for this chain? What about LUNAC, does it have a place in the current market? If you had to look into the future. Do you think both of these ecosystem can exist peacefully? Are we going to be in a ETH and ETC situation? What are the lessons to learned from: The retail consumer The institution Lots of crypto personalities said what Terraform Labs did wasn't bad. It was a good to learn that we aren't in a place for an algorithmic stablecoin just yet. Do you agree with that? So Tom, before we end today's show. I thought we might want to discuss some of the latest information that has come to light with regards to Terra. Some of it is just speculation at this point but I wanted to get your take on it. Terra employees reportedly confirmed to the SEC that Do Kwon cashed out $80 million a month prior to the $LUNA and $UST crash. Terraform Labs has been accused of owning shadow wallets South Korea, Singapore and India are investigating Terraform labs Do you expect these investigations to yield any results?

La plataforma DeFi más grande de Terra, Anchor Protocol, propuso recientemente congelar Anchor Earn y tomar prestadas funciones para protegerlo de los ataques. Su comunidad finalmente votó para decidir su destino. Anchor fue esencialmente la zona cero del accidente de UST, dado que el 70% del suministro de la moneda estable estaba bloqueado en la plataforma. Registró una de las mayores caídas en el valor de la historia cuando la moneda estable se desvinculó. Terra 2.0 cae un 80% del ATH Anchor Protocol informó que los usuarios han optado por limitar su funcionalidad. Todas las acciones en la plataforma además de retirar fondos y depositar USTC para adquirir aUST ahora se congelarán. No obstante, agregó que los Depósitos sin intereses permanecerán abiertos de forma permanente. Esto permitirá que los protocolos espejo, los prestatarios, usen aUST como garantía para obtener los tokens cuando sea necesario presentar una llamada de margen. Más del 23,11% de los usuarios votaron “Sí” a favor de las propuestas. ANUNCIO PUBLICITARIO Terra está destinado a ser stabelcoin TerraClassicUSD se cotiza a un precio promedio de $ 0.0123, en el momento de la publicación. Para revivir la Terra Chain colapsada, DO Kwon emitió un lanzamiento desde el aire. Sin embargo, este movimiento también tenía la intención de brindar ayuda a los antiguos titulares de tokens de cadena. Mientras tanto, el precio del nuevo token LUNA emitido ha caído un 80% desde su lanzamiento. Se cotiza a un precio promedio de $3.60. Anchor protocol mencionó que ha sido una parte importante de Terra desde el principio. La mayoría de la comunidad quiere que siga viviendo. La decisión sobre su futuro ocupa un lugar serio en la comunidad. Do Kwon subió la tasa de interés una semana antes del lanzamiento Según un informe, los diseñadores de Anchor revelaron que la tasa de interés original para el protocolo fue diseñada para ser del 3,6%. Sin embargo, la propuesta no fue aceptada por el jefe de Terra, Do Kwon. La tasa de interés de Anchor se elevó al 20% solo una semana antes del lanzamiento. El informe mencionó que para mantener estable a Terra, lo fijaron un poco más alto que el interés bancario. Se observó que no había suficiente dinero con la empresa para pagar los intereses. Sin embargo, el documento de diseño interno realizado por Terraform Labs mostró que se hizo para atraer a más inversores.

For today's episode, Doug Leonard, CEO of Mainframe, talks about his experience getting into cryptocurrency. He also shares how Mainframe, a new defy application that allows peer-to-peer lending, helps individuals grow money through the platform. Doug's introduction to cryptocurrency started in 2012 when his friends started talking about it. He got interested because of hashing algorithms at school and related it to his background in Masters of Information Systems. He invested money and put up a mining farm. Despite speculations, he started building up skills as an engineer, which led him to become a mobile engineer for two companies. His wife encouraged him to pursue blockchain, considering that he sees so much potential in it. So Doug left his consulting job and later on found the best cryptocurrency startup, which led him to Mainframe. The Mainframe was a chat application. When Doug joined, the company was using its ICO token generation event and was incredibly successful. He started in the company as an engineer and transitioned himself to leadership by making strategies. Later on, Mainframe's CEO tapped him to run the company, which brought him to where he is now. The Mainframe is an at-scale fixed-rate lending solution for people to get instant access to liquidity. People who are into cryptocurrencies and want to pursue the latest farming craze or like to purchase new assets while maintaining exposure to their bitcoins can do these through the help of Mainframe. It enables predictable returns and premiums that borrowers pay. Divi's perception of Defy is to obviate banks or remove trustless intermediaries at the individual level. Doug clarified that perception varies from person to person. There is more transparency within the broader Defy space. Also, there is an increasing decentralized power that comes with specific trade-offs. People need to pay for their transactions, but they have the opportunity to audit what's happening in their money. In Doug's judgment, Defy remains a speculators' game until today. The Mainframe is still putting together debt instruments and options. People who are leveraging tokens are large players who are speculating on different aspects of the space itself. The rate is fixed for each transaction. Taking the case of a lender, if you have a bunch of USTC, without having plans to do anything with it, but you want it to grow. You can go to the Mainframe platform and purchase their tokens to earn a premium based on discounts and the face value of your tokens. For Doug, team size is a function of the business' resources. The company's team size is more focused now, with ten individuals dealing with the operations. They calculate well which bets to take, which innovations to pursue, and which to be a follower. -- Divi is creating the world's first closed-loop, vertically-integrated cryptocurrency ecosystem. Much like Apple's ecosystem is anchored by iCloud, the Divi Project blockchain serves as the core of the Divi network of technologies. Thanks to a keen understanding of the divide that separates the mainstream from the crypto world, the Divi team is able to create solutions to the industry's biggest problem: adoption by non-technical users. Divi's user-friendly, one-click solutions aim to bring blockchain-based payments into modernity with great UX. In this podcast, we will cover all aspects of cryptocurrency, hot topics, and technology as worldwide adoption grows.

我于1995年年底在密歇根州立大学（MSU）毕业后，第二年由于大学同班同学在密歇根的森林里聚会，顺道回了一趟母校，此后的二十一年就未再有这样的机会。我的导师今年5月退休，学生们相约在6月初给他举办一次退休晚会，于是我又借机回校了。1990年我准备到美国留学时，MSU并不是第一选择。录取我的学校中我的第一选择是布朗大学。但是那一年教委发布新的留学政策，故意刁难，护照没能及时办下来，布朗大学校方答复不能推迟入学，只好放弃了。给我全额奖学金的还有MSU、匹兹堡大学、塔夫茨大学、纽约州立大学石溪分校，都很通情达理地允许推迟到第二年冬季入学，反而不知道该选择哪一所好。那时候可不像现在可以在网上狂搜一番信息，可资参考的只有申请入学时校方寄来的宣传册，还有一本外文书店影印的、台湾出的美国大学专业排名，里面生化专业的排名MSU居然进了前十名，也不知是谁评的、哪个年代的事。写信向已在匹兹堡大学就读两年的学姐请教，回信也是含糊其辞：这些学校都差不多，去哪一所都不错。2006年，《MSU校友杂志》（MSU Alumni Magazine）采访我，问我为什么最终选择到MSU，我回答说：“因为它的分子和细胞生物学很强。而且，宣传册上的校园风景照看上去很吸引人。MSU对我来说就是一座象牙塔。我在MSU的5年度过了我一生最美好的时光。” 现在重返校园，依然觉得校园比风景照更美。本科生已经放假，空荡荡的校园变成了一个大公园。红杉河（Red Cedar River）穿越校园，把校园分成了两半，一边是实验室、教室、宿舍、体育场，一边是行政楼、图书馆、国际中心、活动中心（Union）、书店，河流成了校园生活不可分割的一部分，上学时经常要穿越，从不同的桥梁经过，风光也不同。但我现在看到的风光，和二十多年前看到的并没有什么差别。行政楼前河边草地上，还是一群群野鸭、大雁、松鼠在或坐或躺的学生们之间穿梭、讨食，被养得胖乎乎的。作为学校象征的钟楼、斯巴达人像、图书馆、橄榄球场、篮球馆还是那个样子，我当年工作过的生化大楼，住过的欧文研究生公寓、斯巴达村，玩过的沃顿表演中心、月季园、园艺系展览花园、树木园、森林，消费过的冰淇淋店（有40多种口味）、学生书店、北京快餐、花生酒桶酒吧、塔可钟墨西哥快餐店、麦当劳（和别的麦当劳不同，墙壁涂成了绿色和白色——MSU的代表色），也都还在。中国人口头上爱讲文化传统，中国大学更喜欢乱拜祖宗硬把自己搞成百年老校甚至千年学府，而实际上中国大学对历史传承的重视还远不如美国大学。中国大学的校园，几年不去就面貌全非了，不能像现在这样，走在熟悉的道路上，看着熟悉的景象，仿佛回到了二十多年前，不至于让自己成为陌生人。变化当然也有。最大的变化是新建了一个现代美术馆，回旋加速器也正在大幅度扩建。还有一些小的变化，例如生化系改叫了生化与分子生物学系，系里的教授只有几个还认识，原来的实验室也早已易主——不过实验室里我使用过的实验台、通风橱、黑板，甚至挂钟，都还没换。我正在当年日夜奋战的实验台前感慨，在实验室里干活的一个中国留学生认出我来，过来和“师兄”合影，其实我们并非一个导师，而且相差一代了。我们这一代留学生初到美国时感受到的巨大反差，是现在的留学生难以理解的。首先是财务的自由。说一个学生有财务自由似乎很可笑，但是要知道我在国内上大学时父母一个月给的生活费是40～80元人民币（刚入学时是40元，毕业时因物价上涨也跟着涨到80元人民币），每一顿饭菜都要精打细算，而MSU给的奖学金扣除了学费后，一个月拿到手还有一千美元，这百倍的差距，让人顿时有了成为大富豪的幻觉，至少生活有了基本保障，不用再担心吃了这顿没下顿了。由于中美有税法协议，中国留学生的奖学金不用交所得税，手头比美国学生还宽裕。其次是思想的自由。国内上学时前三年要上政治课，虽然大部分都逃掉了，但是考试是逃不掉的，而每周半天的政治学习也是逃不了的。毕业那年因情况特殊更是集中学习、检讨、交代思想根源。到了美国，自然没有人要控制你的思想、言论。在MSU读书期间互联网兴起，我开始在网上发言、建网站，从不用担心会被FBI请喝茶。第三是生活的自由。单身一人在海外，没有养家糊口的压力，没有七大姑八大姨的骚扰，学校里的人际关系简单，特别是在一个只有几个人的小实验室，没有竞争，其乐融融。博士生课程轻松，大部分时间都泡在实验室，而且可以自己安排作息，中午才去实验室，待到半夜离开，生化实验通常有两三小时等待时间，还可乘机去图书馆翻阅藏书、学校电影院看电影、沃顿中心听音乐会，日子过得逍遥自在。有这三大自由，所以我认为在MSU的5年度过了我一生最美好的时光。当然这段时光并不是用来享受的。我的学术训练在那5年开始和完成。在导师退休晚会上，每个学生送给导师一段话，我写的是：“我刚到美国的时候，虽然毕业于中国一所顶尖大学，但对科学的性质几乎一无所知。是扎克言传身教地教我什么是科学和怎么做研究。帮助中国公众理解科学现在成了我的工作，因此在美国一个实验室点燃的火炬已传到了中国。扎克是一个激励人心的导师！”（When I came to the US, although graduating from a top university of China, I knew little about the nature of science. It was Zach that taught me what science is and how research works, both by his words and actions. Now it has become my job to help the Chinese public to understand science, so the torch, ignited in an American lab, has been passed to China. Zach is such an inspiring mentor!） 这么说并非夸张。在中国科技大学的五年，在课堂上学了很多科学知识，受到了数理思维训练，所以我们戏称之为南七技校（南七是中国科大所在的地名），但并没有受到科学方法、科学思想、科学精神的教育和训练，反而受到了伪科学思潮的影响。上世纪80年代中国社会、中国高校普遍迷信“特异功能”，中国科大是重灾区：不少教师、包括著名教授沉迷于研究特异功能，有一届的全国特异功能大会就是在中国科大召开的；校园里常有“大师”来办班教气功，甚至还在大礼堂做“带功报告”，把台下众多师生催眠得手舞足蹈。在这样的氛围中，我在低年级时也是很相信特异功能、气功的，到高年级时不信了，成了少数的怀疑派，那也是自学的结果（主要是看了国外一些科学哲学著作和否定神秘现象的研究），跟学校教育没有关系。现在国内高校的情形要比当时好，但也未必有根本的改观。在我离开中国科大以后，那里还出了一个信佛的校长，宣扬量子力学验证了佛学，其名言是：“科学家千辛万苦爬到山顶时，佛学大师已经在此等候多时了！”这几天这个前校长又在讲“禅定”、“体验真气”、“打通中脉”、“神经元细胞每分钟更换一百万个”，有这种反科学的科技大学校长，怎么指望学生懂科学呢？ 我到了美国以后，从导师那里学会了怎么设计对照实验、控制实验变量、分析实验结果、提出假说和模型，才对科学、科研的实质有了深刻的理解和切身的体验；每周一次的实验室会议，更是一次批判性思维锻炼。这就是小实验室的好处，几乎天天与导师有交流、受熏陶，有时他甚至还手把手教我做实验。系里每周还有一次报告会，主要是请校外教授来讲，在开阔眼界的同时，也体会到了在国内难以想像的学术自由和平等。偶尔会有诺贝尔奖获得者到系里做报告，从没觉得他们高高在上，他们讲完了一样有听众举手提出疑问。不像现在，经常见到国外诺贝尔奖获得者成群结队去中国大学捞钱，享受着师生们天神般的崇拜。 我以前曾经说过，中国大学现在像公司，我们那个时候则像集中营。在集中营里生活，和朝夕相处的同学们有感情，对学校则没有，从没想过要特地回去看看，去了也只会觉得那是个陌生的地方。美国大学则是象牙塔，在走向社会，饱经沧桑之后，象牙塔里的生活更让人怀念，虽然那种纯洁的日子已一去不复返，在心中却显得越来越神圣。 2017.6.9. 附：2006年《MSU校友杂志》的采访 斯巴达人简介（注：斯巴达人为密歇根州立大学象征） 方是民：学术道德警察 《MSU校友杂志》（MSU Alumni Magazine）2006年秋季刊 中国高等教育已被伪科学、造假和不端行为所困扰，直到有一位密歇根州立大学（MSU）校友决定对此做一点事情。2000年，在圣地亚哥生活的1995年博士方是民开始在其有关中国文化和文学的网站新语丝上揭露肇事者。这个网站逐渐成为了为学术道德而战的旗舰，并受到媒体的广泛报道，其中包括国际期刊《科学》和《自然》。“因为许多中国报刊都上网了，我能够轻易地获得中国的信息，”以方舟子为笔名的方解释说，“我们至今已揭露了500多起案例。我想形势正在好转。”在这些案例中，包括教授伪造履历，窃取别人的研究成果，剽窃文章和书籍，有些还捏造研究成果。起初中国官方对此反应缓慢，反而去屏蔽是民的网站。“但是现在中国政府至少承认确实有问题……并发布了几项规章，”目前在北京担任科学作家和专栏作家的是民评论说。是民出生于福建省沿海小城云霄，毕业于安徽合肥的中国科学技术大学（USTC）。该校当时有个绰号叫“美国培训中心”（United States Training Center），因为其毕业生毕业后将到美国深造。于是，是民选择了MSU，因为它的分子和细胞生物学很强。“而且，宣传册上的校园风景照看上去很吸引人。”他补充说，“MSU对我来说就是一座象牙塔。我在MSU的5年度过了我一生最美好的时光。我的导师扎卡里·伯顿博士是个好老师、好朋友。”他和同学王朝晖一起在MSU创建了中文诗歌小组。1995年，MSU音乐博士生加里·纳什为是民的一首诗《最后的恋曲》谱曲。“我的朋友罗舒冬在她的毕业演唱会上演唱了这首歌，”是民回忆说，“那是我在MSU最感自豪的一刻。” SPARTAN PROFILESFANG SHI-MIN: ACADEMIC INTEGRITY COP Fall 2006 MSU Alumni Magazine Higher education in China has been beset by pseudoscience, fraud and misconduct, until an MSU alumnus decided to do something about it. Fang Shi-Min, Ph. D. '95, living in San Diego in 2000, began exposing the offenders in his personal web site about Chinese culture and literature, New Threads (xys.org). The site eventually became the flagship in the fight for academic integrity and received widespread coverage from the media, including the international journals Science and Nature. “I could easily get information from China because many newspapers and magazines were online,” explains Fang, who used the pseudonym Fang Zhouzi. “We have exposed more than 500 cases so far. I think the situation is getting better.” Among them were professors who falsified resumes, who claimed credit for research they did not conduct, who plagiarized articles and books, and in some cases, who faked research. At first Chinese officials were slow to react, choosing instead to block Shi-Ming's web site. “But now, the Chinese government at least admits there are problems . . . and has issued several regulations,” notes Shi-Ming, currently working in Beijing as a science writer and columnist. A native of Yunxiao, a coastal town in Fujian Province, Shi-Ming graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), Hefei, Anhui Province, a school that was nicknamed “United States Training Center” because graduates pursued further degrees in the U.S. Accordingly, Shi-Ming chose MSU because of its strength in molecular and cell biology. “Also, the pictures of campus scenery in the brochures looked very attractive.” He adds,“MSU is an ivory tower to me. My five-year stay at MSU was the best time in my life. My mentor, Dr. Zachary Burton, is a good teacher and friend.” He and fellow student Zhaohui Wang co-founded a Chinese Poetry Group. In 1995, Gary Nash, a doctoral music student at MSU, composed a song based on one of his poems, The Last Love Song. “It was sung by my friend Shudong Luo at her graduation recital,” recalls Shi-Ming.“That's one of my proudest moments at MSU.”

Since we've discussed mailing returns in previous podcasts, this time we look at the problems a taxpayer who tries to hand file a return can run into getting that done correctly.  In the case of Allnut, Sr. v. Commissioner, 2008-1 USTC ¶50,310 the taxpayer failed to make delivery as required by the regulations, and the court found that what the taxpayer had to live with the date a document could finally be documented as being in the District Director's office--which was less than year years before the date the IRS issued an assessment.Materials for this week are available at http://www.edzollars.com/2008-05-09_Hand_Carried.pdf.The podcast is sponsored by Leimberg Information Services, located at http://www.leimbergservices.com .

This week we look at a recent decision (Brooks v. Commissioner, TC Memo 2005-204) involving the impact of repaying S corporation debt during the year when, at the beginning of the year, the shareholder’s basis was less than the face amount of the note. In the case in question, the shareholders repaid such a debt in its entirety at the beginning of the year, the corporation sustained a loss during the year, and then the taxpayer loan back enough money to both return the entire repayment and then advance enough additional to give basis to take the loss. The court analyzed this case and how it differed from the case of Corneilus v. Commissioner, 58 TC 417, affd CA-5, 74-1 USTC ¶9446, 494 F2d 465, 33 AFTR 2d ¶74-1331). As we normally do, the podcast materials can be downloaded here on the ezollars.libsyn.com website—to get them click this link (if you are reading notes attached to the podcast in iTunes you’ll need to actually go to the site first to do that clicking). The Phoenix Tax Workshop will start its new year’s programs this month. I won’t be able to attend the first meeting (I’m going to be speaking at the Virginia Accounting & Auditing Conference in Roanoke, Virginia sponsored by the Virginia Society of CPAs and Virginia Tech University at that time), but I would suggest those in Phoenix consider signing up for the program. Of course, if you're close to Roanoke go ahead and sign up for that conference. My topic is on technology in the local accounting practice, but there are lots of other issues covered in those two days. The conference will be repeated in November in Virginia Beach, and I'll be there as well, so that's another option for anyone in Virginia or nearby. As well, continuing from the midweek podcast earlier this week, remember to consider the needs of the agencies serving those affected by Hurricane Katrina. The Red Cross, along with Yahoo, have established a website that makes it very easy to donate a standard amount to hurricane relief using your credit card. Please take the time to make a donation to help the relief effort, either via that site or through another relief agency. Remember that, unfortunately, these types of tragedies spawn their own scams—so be sure to check out any charity you aren’t familiar with before parting with your check. The crooks are going to be calling, sending out emails and and setting up their own websites. On the latter issue—the safest way to be sure you are at the website for the real charity is to be sure and type the address into your browser’s address bar or click only on links where you trust that those responsible for the website are both trying to send you to the proper site and have done their homework to assure that they have linked to the real charity. I expect “phishing” emails to start to hit mailboxes soon taking advantage of this situation.
