SHANGHAI, May 8 — To her fellow students, Hu Yingying appears to be a typical undergraduate, plain of dress, quick with a smile and perhaps possessed with a little extra spring in her step, but otherwise decidedly ordinary.
Similar strengths are making the Institute of Biophysics increasingly attractive to graduate students, Hu says.
Maybe we can pose it without being, like, 'Impress me.' " "I actually love that five-book question," Huiqin Hu, a Wesleyan student, argued.
Born in December 1942, Mr. Hu was a student of hydroelectric engineering at the prestigious Qinghua University in Beijing in the 1960's.
In January 1917 an article by Hu Shih, a student of philosophy at Columbia University, entitled "Wenxue gailiang chuyi" ("Tentative Proposal for Literary Reform") was published in Xinqingnian (New Youth), a radical monthly magazine published in Beijing.
"It looked something like a Tasmanian devil," says team member Yaoming Hu, a graduate student at the City University of New York.
A new research project by Deva Ramanan, associate professor of robotics, and Peiyun Hu, a Ph.D. student in robotics at Carnegie Mellon, fixes that problem by assessing the context of images.
Hu Shih, a student of Dewey's at Columbia who invited Dewey to Peking in 1919, and Paul Monroe, were the two other leading figures in the creation of this Institute (Ho 2004 see the Other Internet Resources).
But Ms. Hu, one of 500 students at her university's newly bolstered, student-run Internet monitoring group, is a cog in a different kind of force, an ostensibly all-volunteer one that the Chinese government is mobilizing to help it manage the monumental task of censoring the Web.
No one dared to criticise the government," said Hu. "Only the students dared to speak out, at the cost of their lives".
