It may present as an exclusive symptom, or be con-comitant with other congenital malformations nd even some fatal birth defects. Clinically, ACF is fea-tured by drooping of the intact corner of the mouth during crying, while the face appears symmetric at rest. The facial nerve function is symmetric, as determined by frowning, forehead wrinkling, eye closure, and nasolabial fold depth. When ACF alone is present, the cause is often compression of the mandibular branch of the facial nerve that is prob-ably due to birth trauma or abnormal fetal posture in utero. ACF with other congenital anomalies is usually caused by hypoplasia of the depressor anguli oris muscle （DAOM） on one side of the mouth.展开更多

Oedipa Maas. the protagonist, a housewife, started her journey and soon found herself enmeshed in a worldwide conspiracy, meeting some extremely interesting and absurd characters, quite beyond her imagination and self-knowledge. These characters came from different walks of life and social classes, but all have some defects and deficiencies in one way or another, both physically or mentally. Meanwhile, they seemed to be busy involving themselves in some ridiculous and meaningless tasks or missions of work or life, lingering and struggling, with uncertainty and hopelessness for the future. In this way. Pynchon＇s The Crying of Lot 49 presents us a chaotic and meaningless postmodern society which gradually turns into decadence and entropy. These absurd and pathetic characters were exactly, without doubt, both products and victims of this materialized, alienated and depressing postmodern society. The fiction is humorous, obscure, and very complicated, involving politics, history., religion, science and art etc.. This paper is to analyse the absurdity of some main characters in this fiction.展开更多

文摘大气温湿廓线是数值预报中最基本的气象参数，高光谱红外卫星可以观测到较高垂直分辨率的大气信息，为了准确获取廓线信息，利用搭载于美国对地观测卫星Suomi NPP（national polar-orbiting partner-ship）平台上的CrIS（cross-track infrared sounder）红外高光谱观测资料，讨论了通道选取方法，采用特征向量统计法反演法得到初始大气廓线，利用非线性牛顿迭代法进一步提高反演精度。将反演结果和全球数据同化系统GDAS（global data assimilation system ）模式分析数据以及配对的无线探空值进行比较，发现反演结果与真值趋势一致，较之初始廓线有显著提高，在100～700 hPa之间，温度廓线反演精度最高，均方差小于1 K ，在300～900 hPa之间，湿度廓线反演精度最高，均方差小于20％，与所选取通道的雅各比峰值区间一致。
