Based on the critic approach of New Historicism, this thesis have analyzed how Millet subvert power and be contained by power, the capitalism and market, which criticized the phenomenon that the value of art is not decided by itself, but by power. No matter it is good or bad, if it is denied by power, it is valueless.展开更多

Although the expected greater power (μV2•Hz<sup>–</sup><sup>1</sup>) for the living brain was apparent, the difference was particularly obvious for theta and low beta bands. The integrated square root values over the entire band indicated the difference in intrinsic charge-based energy between the living (higher) and dead brain was ~2•10<sup>–</sup><sup>23</sup> J. This quantity is remarkably proximal to the Cosmic Background Microwave value and would be consistent with the Hameroff-Penrose definition of consciousness that suggests a permeating presence derived from discrete physical events. A power value obtained by multiplying this increment of energy by the frequency of the universal hydrogen line resulted in ~10<sup>–</sup><sup>12</sup> W•m<sup>–</sup><sup>2</sup> when applied to the surface area of the human cerebrum. This value is the median flux density that has been measured from human brains during cognition and defines the ultra-weak photon emissions displayed by cells, tissue, and organisms. These results suggest that modern technology may now be sufficiently precise to discern the critical parameters that differentiate the living brain from the fixed “dead” brain. This information might be useful for future designs of virtual consciousness and simulations within cerebral space.展开更多

Applying green fa?ades is not a new concept and can offer multiple benefits as a component of cur- rent urban design;considering the relation be- tween the environmental benefits, energy sav- ing for the building and the vertical greening systems (material used, maintenance, nutrients and water needed) the integration of vegetation could be a sustainable approach for the enve- lope of new and existing buildings.展开更多

Five small islands in the Spermonde archipelago, South Sulawesi, in Indonesia, were selected to measure the reflectance spectral of benthic communities. The objective of this study was to determine optical properties of the live corals, dead corals covered with algae, coral rubber covered with algae, broken shell, sand, seagrass and macro algae. Pearson correlation coefficient and cluster analysis were used to determine spectral similarity in and among coral species based on spectral responses at observed wavelengths and to examine the similarities between the categories. Several benthic communities appear to be highly correlated with one another when the entire spectrum is considered, which may lead to classification errors. Porites meyeri, dead corals and coral rubber （〉 3 months ago） share a high degree of similarity in reflectance. The other coastal benthic communities are readily discriminated.展开更多
