DOYON, Jérôme. 2023. Rejuvenating Communism: Youth Organizations and Elite Renewal in Post-Mao China. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press

:<i>Rejuvenating Communism: Youth Organizations and Elite Renewal in Post-Mao China</i>

Working for the administration remains one of the most coveted career paths for young Chinese. Rejuvenating Communism: Youth Organizations and Elite Renewal in Post-Mao China seeks to understand what motivates young and educated Chinese to commit to a long-term career in the party-state and how this question is central to the Chinese regime’s ability to maintain its cohesion and survive. Jérôme Doyon draws upon extensive fieldwork and statistical analysis in order to illuminate the undogmatic commitment recruitment techniques and other methods the state has taken to develop a diffuse allegiance to the party-state in the post-Mao era. He then analyzes recruitment and political professionalization in the Communist Party’s youth organizations and shows how experiences in the Chinese Communist Youth League transform recruits and feed their political commitment as they are gradually inducted into the world of officials. As the first in-depth study of the Communist Youth League’s role in recruitment, this book challenges the assumption that merit is the main criteria for advancement within the party-state, an argument with deep implications for understanding Chinese politics today.

The review by J. Ross Macdonald and Harvey G. Cragon (PPhysics Today, July 2000, page 58) of ENIAC: The Triumphs and Tragedies of the World’s First Computer seems to be an able assessment of the book and its content. However, perhaps due to misstatements in the book, the review fails to reflect adequately the place of the Atanasoff–Berry Computer (ABC) relative to the Eckert–Mauchly ENIAC in the lineage of the electronic digital computer. (See Alfred E. Brenner’s article, “The Computing Revolution and the Physics Community,” Physics Today, October 1996, page 24.)Work on the ABC design by John V. Atanasoff (a University of Wisconsin PhD physics graduate whose adviser was John Van Vleck) began in 1937 at Iowa State University (ISU). It is well established that a breadboard mock-up was completed in 1939 and that a full-scale prototype was being tested by early 1942. The review correctly indicates that, years later, Honeywell initiated a lawsuit claiming that ENIAC patents applied for by Presper Eckert and John Mauchly in 1947, though not issued until 1964 to Sperry Rand, were invalid.On 19 October 1973, the trial judge entered his opinion, stating that “Eckert and Mauchly did not themselves invent the automatic digital computer, but instead derived that subject matter from one Dr. John Vincent Atanasoff.” 1 1. Section 3 of Judge Earl R. Larson’s opinion inHoneywell Inc.vsSperry Rand Corp.etal., 19 October 1973 Behind that terse statement is a trial record that exhaustively examines the “prior art” embodied in the ABC and the adoption in either ENIAC or the later EDVAC of many concepts first introduced in the ABC, such as regenerative memory, base-2 calculating, modular construction, and fully electronic computation. 2,3 2. C. R. Mollenhoff, Atanasoff: Forgotten Father of the Computer, Iowa State U. Press, Ames (1988).3. For an informative technical discussion of the ABC and the trial, see A. R. Burks and A. WBurks, The First Electronic Computer: The Atanasoff Story, U.of Michigan Press, Ann Arbor (1989). (See also Alan R. Mackintosh’s article “The First Electronic Computer,” Physics Today, March 1987, page 25.)Evidence introduced at the trial showed that, starting in December 1940, Atanasoff met with Mauchly, briefed him on the ABC design, invited him to Iowa to see the full scale machine under construction (he stayed at Atanasoff’s home) and provided him with free and open access to detailed design features that later appeared in the ENIAC or the EDVAC. Nevertheless, many supporters of ENIAC’s historical primacy still claimed that the court decision was flawed, that the ABC could never operate, and that the ENIAC did not, in fact, depend on the ABC design.After 1973, Atanasoff began receiving widespread recognition for his accomplishment, including major awards from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Navy, several honorary doctorates, and, in 1990, the National Medal of Technology presented by President George H. W. Bush.In 1994, senior engineers at the Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory put forward the idea that the availability of ABC documentation and old parts could make it possible for them to build a full-scale replica of the ABC that might refute the charge that the ABC could never have operated successfully. A small group of ISU officials, of which I was one, then took on the challenges of project oversight and fundraising.In late November 1996, the completed (but not yet operational) replica was unveiled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at “Supercomputing ′96,” an annual joint meeting of the IEEE and the Association for Computing Machinery. The ABC anchored an extensive display of historic supercomputer artifacts in celebration of 50 years of computer development.By October 1997, all systems were fully operating and the machine was brought to Washington, DC. At the National Press Club, the ABC carried out its first public calculations before computer experts, ISU alumni, and the press. For the next eight months, the ABC toured Iowa, promoting ISU eminence in developing advanced technology. Along the way, some computing runs were videotaped, preserving a visible place in history for Atanasoff’s dream. Ironically, the unattributed adoption of some of the ABC’s concepts apparently provided the only means by which they were incorporated into the mainstream of computer development.REFERENCESSection:ChooseTop of pageREFERENCES <<CITING ARTICLES1.

In cooperation with the Ford Research Center Aachen the new tyre–soil interaction model AS2TM for MATLAB/Simulink was developed by Automotive Engineering, Software and Consulting (AESCO). The model is based on the principles introduced by Bekker [Bekker, M.G., 1956, Theory of Land Locomotion: The Mechanics of Vehicle Mobility (Ann Arbor, Michigan: University of Michigan Press); Bekker, M.G., 1960, Off the Road Locomotion (Ann Arbor, Michigan: University of Michigan Press); Bekker, M.G., 1960, Introduction to Terrain–Vehicle Systems (Ann Arbor, Michigan: University of Michigan Press).] and by Janosi and Hanamoto [Janosi, Z. and Hanamoto, B., 1961, Analytical determination of draw bar pull as a function of slip for tracked vehicles in deformable soils. Proceedings of the 1st International Conference of the International Society for Terrain–Vehicles Systems, Turin, Italy.] and takes advantage of more than a decade of research work in the field of terra-mechanics at the former Institut für Kraftfahrwesen und Kolbenmaschinen of the University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg under the charge of Professor I.C. Schmid. In this paper, firstly, the theoretical approach of AS2TM is discussed and the implementation of significant soft soil–elastic tyre interaction effects described and, secondly, the stand-alone model has been investigated and validated for steady-state conditions by using a virtual tyre test environment. Furthermore AS2TM is implemented as an S function into veDYNA applying the TYDEX standard tyre interface. The vehicle dynamic behaviour on deformable ground in a full vehicle simulation is highlighted and a comparison of the predicted vehicle performances on various terrains is presented.
