Wang 王抗曝 and Hung-ping Tsao 曹恆平 (editors). Vol. 7, No. 1A, January 2, 2025, 54 pages; Lenox Institute Press, MA, USA; lenox.institute@gmail.com; ISBN 978-0-9890870-3-2. 10.17613/fzb3k-p1e98 .....ABSTRACT: "Car Back View" 《車尾背影》depicts the emotional spectrum experienced by families during their annual winter reunions. The poem vividly contrasts the warmth and joy of family gatherings with the inevitable sorrow of farewells. Through the imagery of winter landscapes and car journeys, it portrays the bittersweet nature of these moments, highlighting the enduring bonds and hopes for future reunions. The poem captures the essence of familial love and the cyclical nature of parting and reuniting. The literature review section of this publication introduces Zhu Ziqing’s prose essay "Back View" 朱自清的《背影》(1928) and Ping-Chang Su and Lawrence K. Wang’s poem "Back View: Gradually Walking Away, Where to Rest the Shadow?" 蘇平章及王抗曝的《背影：漸行漸遠，息影何方？》 (2024) concerning each article’s (a) background and historical context; (b) article content; and (c) themes and imagery. A comparative analysis of the two previous articles in the literature has been conducted in the areas of: (a) emotional resonance; (b) use of imagery; (c) themes of nostalgia and reflection; and (d) socio-cultural context. While both articles share themes of separation, nostalgia, and reflection, they do so through different lenses: Zhu Ziqing’s 1928 prose essay focuses on familial love and sacrifice, while Su and Wang’s 2024 poem highlights enduring friendship. Both previous related articles utilize powerful imagery to evoke deep emotions, making them timeless pieces of literary art. Another comparative analysis of all three articles: the 1928 prose essay "Back View", the 2024 poem "Back View: Gradually Walking Away, Where to Rest the Shadow?", and the 2025 poem-song lyrics "Car Back View" is included in this publication. In summary, while all three articles share common themes of separation and reunion, they each offer unique perspectives and emotional depths. The 1928 prose essay " Back View" reflects familial love and sacrifice, the 2024 poem "Back View: Gradually Walking Away, Where to Rest the Shadow?" captures the essence of enduring friendship, and the 2025 poem-song lyrics "Car Back View" highlights the warmth and sorrow of family reunions. Each articles uses powerful imagery to evoke deep emotions, making them poignant reflections on human relationships and the passage of time. The song lyrics of "Car Back View" have been composed to illustrate the scenes and emotions when children visit their parents. Musicians around the world who are interested in setting the song lyrics to music should contact the authors directly at lenox.institute@gmail.com. 《車尾背影》描繪了家庭在一年一度的冬季團聚期間所經歷的情感光譜。詩中生動地對比了家庭聚會的溫暖和快樂與告別的不可避免的悲傷。通過冬季景觀和汽車旅程的意象，詩歌描繪了這些時刻的苦樂參半，突出了持久的聯繫和對未來重逢的希望。詩歌捕捉了家庭之愛的本質以及分離和重聚的週期性。在這份出版物的文獻回顧部分，介紹了朱自清的散文《背影》(1928) 和蘇平章及王抗曝的詩《背影：漸行漸遠，息影何方？》(2024)，討論了每篇文章的(a)背景和歷史背景；(b)文章內容；(c)主題和意象。對文獻中的兩篇先前文章進行了比較分析，涵蓋了(a)情感共鳴；(b)意象的使用；(c)懷舊和反思的主題；(d)社會文化背景。雖然兩篇文章都分享了分離、懷舊和反思的主題，但它們通過不同的角度來呈現：朱自清的1928年散文專注於家庭之愛和犧牲，而蘇平章及王抗曝的2024年詩歌則強調了持久的友誼。這兩篇先前相關文章都利用強有力的意象來喚起深刻的情感，使它們成為永恆的文學藝術作品。本出版物還包括對三篇文章的比較分析：1928年的散文《背影》，2024年的詩歌《背影：漸行漸遠，息影何方？》，以及2025年的詩歌歌詞《車尾背影》。總之，雖然三篇文章都分享了分離和重聚的共同主題，但它們各自提供了獨特的視角和情感深度。1928年的散文《背影》反映了家庭之愛和犧牲，2024年的詩歌《背影：漸行漸遠，息影何方？》捕捉了持久友誼的本質，而2025年的詩歌歌詞《車尾背影》則強調了家庭團聚的溫暖和悲傷。每篇文章都使用強有力的意象來喚起深刻的情感，使它們成為對人類關係和時間流逝的深刻反思。《車尾背影》的歌詞旨在描繪孩子探望父母時的場景和情感。世界各地有興趣將該歌詞譜成歌曲的音樂家應直接聯繫作者（電子郵箱： Lenox.institute@gmail.com）。

In: "Global Humanities and Liberal Arts" series, Volume 2024, Number 12, 2024 (12), December 18, 2024, 19 pages. Lenox Institute Press, Massachusetts, USA. Lenox.Institute@gmail.com ; https://works.hcommons.org/records/fkf89-7dv76; DOI: 10.17613/fkf89-7dv76 .... ABSTRACT: This study compares mainland China's Pinyin system and Taiwan's Zhuyin (Bopomofo) system in the education of Mandarin Chinese. The Pinyin system, developed in the 1950s, utilizes the Latin alphabet and diacritic marks to represent Mandarin sounds and tones, making it widely recognized and utilized globally. Conversely, the Zhuyin system, with its roots in the early 20th century, employs unique symbols derived from Chinese characters, coupled with tone marks, and is predominantly used in Taiwan for language instruction. This comparison highlights the strengths and applications of both systems, considering factors such as ease of learning, usage in digital input methods, and their roles in preserving linguistic heritage. Ultimately, the study underscores how each system contributes to Mandarin Chinese education, catering to different learning needs and cultural contexts. 本研究比較了中國大陸的拼音系統和台灣的注音（ㄅㄆㄇㄈ）系統在中文教育中的應用。拼音系統於1950年代開發，使用拉丁字母和音調符號來表示普通話的發音和音調，全球廣泛認可並使用。相反，注音系統源於20世紀初，使用源自漢字的獨特符號和音調符號，主要在台灣用於語言教學。這一比較強調了兩個系統的優勢和應用，考慮了學習難易度、數字輸入法中的使用以及在保護語言遺產方面的作用。研究最終強調了每個系統在普通話教育中的貢獻，以滿足不同的學習需求和文化背景。

Wang 王抗曝 (2024). “Back View: Gradually Walking Away, Where to Rest the Shadow? 《背影: 漸行漸遠, 息影何方》”, In: "Evolutionary Progress in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics", Lawrence K. Wang 王抗曝 and Hung-ping Tsao 曹恆平 (editors). Vol. 6, No. 12B, December 12, 2024, 16 pages; Lenox Institute Press, MA, USA; lenox.institute@gmail.com; ISBN 978-0-9890870-3-2; 10.17613/k4k1h-xz944 ..... ABSTRACT: This publication is one of the academic works accomplished by the classmates of Experimental Class 5 at the Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University (HSNU). These old classmates studied together at HSNU from 1952 to 1958, and some have since passed away. To celebrate their past and current friendships, they are publishing their untold stories and poems, disseminating the loving brotherhood that started from a young age to the entire world. This poem, "Back View: Gradually Walking Away, Where to Rest the Shadow?", captures the bittersweet reunion of old friends who reminisce about their shared past. The narrative moves from their joyous reunion and heartfelt conversations to a poignant separation, with one friend walking ahead while the other follows, reflecting on their shared memories. The poem draws parallels between their past, when they studied together, and the present, where one reflects on the past online. The imagery of a flickering candle represents the fading yet persistent memories and emotions. The poem evokes a deep sense of nostalgia and the enduring bond of friendship. 這本出版物是由國立臺灣師範大學附屬高級中學（HSNU）實驗五班的同學完成的學術作品之一。這些老同學於1952年至1958年在HSNU共同學習，其中一些人已經去世。為了慶祝他們過去和現在的友誼，他們正在出版他們未曾講述的故事和詩歌，將從小開始的深厚友誼傳播到全世界。這首詩《背影: 漸行漸遠, 息影何方》描述了多年老友偶遇相聚，憶及往事的酸甜苦辣。從他們快樂的重逢、真摯的對話，到不捨的分手，一位朋友走在前面，另一位朋友跟隨在後，回憶起他們共度的時光。詩中將他們過去的共同學習與當下的網上重溫相互聯繫起來。那搖曳的燭光象徵著逐漸淡去但持續存在的記憶和情感。詩歌喚起了深深的懷舊情感和持久的友誼。

ABSTRA CT: Mahjong, often referred to as the “game of a hundred intelligences,” is a captivating tile-based game that originated in China during the Qing Dynasty. Over two centuries, it has become an iconic part of Chinese culture and gained immense popularity worldwide. But what if we told you there exists a remarkable canine companion who not only appreciates this ancient game but can also play it? Allow us to introduce our extraordinary dog—a true mahjong prodigy. Countless tales abound of dogs demonstrating exceptional intelligence and unique abilities. From daring search-and-rescue missions to agile feats in competitions, our loyal companions continue to astound us. While the notion of a dog playing Mahjong may seem whimsical, until now, no documented real-life example existed of a dog mastering this ancient game. Our exceptional dog not only entertains but also inspires us to celebrate the fusion of intelligence and playfulness. This publication serves as evidence that a dog might surprise us all by sitting down at a Mahjong table, revealing hidden talents.

ABSTRACT: In the game of life, unexpected hands are dealt—sometimes a “Heavenly Hand,” other times an “Earthly Hand.” When our beloved friend falls seriously ill, fate’s sway becomes palpable. Relatives and friends gather like “Eighteen Arhats”, their unity bittersweet. Echoes of “Pair Pair Pong” shock our eyes, while whispered “Two Numbers” defy despair. The “Three Sisters” strive, “drawing hope of moon from the sea”, but all efforts prove in vain. Our bonds remain strong, memories lingering like a “Double Piao Dai.” Ambition soars with the “Four Fan Starting Hand,” laughter once shared in mahjong’s embrace. Scores ungambling, forgiveness prevails, and before the mahjong table, longing persists ----- the absence of our dear friend forever etched in our hearts.
在人生的遊戲中，我們總會被派發出乎意料的牌--- 有時是“天胡”，有時是“地胡”。當我們心愛的朋友嚴重生病時，命運的搖擺變得明顯。親戚和朋友聚集在一起，像”十八羅漢”一樣，他們的團結既甜蜜又苦澀。“對對碰”的回聲震撼我們的眼睛，而低語的“二數”則挑戰絕望。”三姐妹”努力奮鬥，從”海底撈月”中汲取希望，但所有的努力都徒勞無功。我們的情感紐帶依然堅固，回憶像“雙飄帶”一樣縈繞心頭。抱負隨著“四番起手”的出現而飛揚，曾經在麻將的懷抱中共享的笑聲。數分不再賭博，寬恕占上風，在麻將桌前，渴望仍在持續--- 我們親愛的朋友的缺席永遠刻在我們的心中。

ABSTRACT: In this poignant “modified thousand winds” poem, we are urged not to mourn at the grave of our loved ones because they are not confined to that resting place. Instead, our loved ones exist in myriad winds that blow, in the fresh air aloft where dreams take flight. They are the fertile soil on land and the swimming fish in the vast expanse of water. Even in autumn’s quietude, they rush gracefully like pretty red leaves caught in a circling current. Their presence extends beyond physical boundaries—they reside in scholars’ passion, in love-filled homes, and atop the Internet Cloud. Death does not define them; they persist beyond the grave. 這首修改的千風詩深刻地告誡我們，不要在親愛人們的墳前哭泣。詩人宣告，他們並未局限於那個安息之地。相反，他們存在於千陣風中，高處清新的空氣中，夢想飛翔之處。他們是地上肥沃的土壤，也是滄海浮沉的游魚。即使在秋天的寂靜中，他們優雅地趕路，如美麗的紅葉隨風飄揚。他們的存在超越了肉體的界限，寓居於學人的熱情、充滿愛意的家中，並高踞於網絡的雲端。死亡並不能定義他們，他們在墳前之外仍然存在。

ABSTRACT: The past few years have seen the emergence of a growing, widespread desire in this country, and indeed everywhere, that positive actions be taken to restore the quality of our environment, and to protect it from the degrading effects of all forms of pollution-air, noise, solid waste, and water. Since pollution is a direct or" indirect consequence of waste, if there is no waste, there can be no pollution, and the seemingly idealistic demand for" zero discharge" can be construed as a demand for zero waste. However, as long as there is waste, we can only attempt to abate the consequent pollution by converting it to a less noxious form. In those instances in which a particular type of pollution has been recognized, three major questions usually arise: (1), How serious is the pollution? (2), Is the technology to abate it available? and (3), Do the costs of abatement justify the degree of abatement achieved? The principal intention of this series of books is to help the reader to formulate answers to the last two of the above three questions. The traditional approach of applying tried-and-true solutions to specific pollution problems has been a major factor contributing to the success of environmental engineering, and in large measure has accounted for the establishing of a "methodology of pollution control. This book, “Handbook of Environmental Engineering, Volume 2: Solid Waste Processing and Resource Recovery” has seven chapters: (1) Introduction to Solid Waste Management; (2) Mechanical Volume Reduction ; (3) Combustion and Incineration ; (4) Sanitary Landfill ; (5) Composting Process ; (6) Materials and Energy Recovery and (7) Solid Waste Systems Planning.

Lenox Institute Press MA, USA. ..... ABSTRACT: I am an amateur mathematician, who has been working rather diligently all his life. After receiving Ph.D. from UIUC in the area of combinatorics and teaching for two years in college, I pursued my actuarial career for eight years before returning to teach. During the 17 years of teaching at SFSU, I used the textbook “College Mathematics” tailor-made for my own students in College of Business. Since these books contain fruitful of innovative
ideas, I am eager to benefit undergraduate students worldwide.

Ever since my retirement in the year of 2002, I have been working on Combinatorial Number Theory. Using only elementary methods, I was able to get some breakthroughs in powered sums and triangular arrays of numbers. I hope my efforts and results could evolve into an undergraduate textbook in the area of Combinatorial Number Theory.

I also published “Cracking Sudoku Completely” ([44]) in Chinese. It contains the detailed solution of the hardest Sudoku puzzle posted online which I solved manually in 2012. Besides being referenced by a course of Computer Games in Taiwan, its excerpt was published in [41]. I believe the inclusion of the English version of it should benefit the vast majority of Sudoku lovers worldwide.

We present lastly three distribution models M1 (for n up to 1000), M2 (for n up to 10000) and M3 (for 2n up to 10000) of the small prime numbers as terminal values in the new platform (see [16]), where the terminal value t(n) for each natural number n being defined by way of successively summing up the prime factors. By defining A = {5} and B = {7, 11, 13}, we call 5 the A-terminal value, 7, 11 or 13 a B-terminal value and all others C-terminal values, where C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 17,19, 23, 29, …}. We come up with a good way of estimating the frequency of singles from A and B combined by using twin primes (tp, tp+2) which will be called cheese sandwich if the terminal value of tp+1 is from C or ham sandwich otherwise, as summarized below for M3.

n 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 8000
% small primes .69 .69 .66 .66 .66 .66 .65 .64 .
% ham sandwiches .64 .57 .65 .69 .69 .66 .65 .65

Conjecture. For a sufficient large n, the occurrence of tp+2 as terminal values will be more often than that of tp for any twin primes (tp, tp+2) if tp > 5. For example, 13 will occur more often than 11 when n > 1058. For any prime number p > 3, we can always find twin primes
(tp, tp+2) such that t(tp+1) = p. For example, t(4242) = 113 for twin primes (4241, 4243).

Lenox Institute Press, Massachusetts, USA. No. STEAM-VOL5-NUM1A-JAN2023; ISBN: 978-0-9890870-4-9; DOI:10.17613/61c4-gc96............ABSTRACT: This groundbreaking book systematically characterizes Western drugs, as well as chemicals in the human body, for the first time as having “hot” and “cold” properties. This development, discovered over a 20-year period through chemistry and the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), may help medicinal chemists and drug manufacturers identify new drug leads and predict their potential side effects. One drug lead that this book identifies, for example, is a common feature of compounds that improve memory. Nai-Yi Wang is a Ph.D. organic chemist with a 35-year career in teaching and research at universities and in the pharmaceutical industry. He holds more than 20 patents in synthetic organic chemistry, natural product synthesis, and biotechnology. His research has focused on cardiovascular drugs discovery, anticancer compounds syntheses, and the development of immunoassays. As an organic chemist specializing in natural products synthesis, Wang accomplished the first total synthesis of compactin (an analog of the Merck cholesterol-lowering drug Zocor). He is also an expert in the chemistry of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is the fourth edition of his book, "The Principle of Febrile and Inflammatory Diseases.” Among the highlights of this edition is the application of immunology to the "Hot and Cold Theory" in TCM in order to address the issues in diseases for which there are currently no effective treatment in Western medicine.
