Remnants of an Powerful Ancient “Dynasty”:Material Cycle and Biomineralization in Modern Seafloor Hydrothermal System

The origin of ancient banded iron formation （BIF） has remained unclear for a long time. How the precipitation process occurred and what the environmental condition was have been widely discussed among scientists, because the period when the major BIFs deposited （-2.8 to 1.8Ga） is the same time when biosphere and atmosphere significantly changed. Based on the discovery of modern seafloor hydrothermal vents, it is possible that reductive environment controlled by vent system is related to the environment where BIF was deposited. According to matter source.

Global energy transition revolution and the connotation and pathway of the green and intelligent energy system

The essence of energy system transition is the"energy revolution':The development of the"resource-dominated"energy system with fossil energy as the mainstay has promoted human progress,but it has also triggered energy crisis and ecological environment crisis,which is not compatible with the new demands of the new round of scientific and technological revolution,industrial transformation,and sustainable human development.It is in urgent need to research and develop a new-type energy system in the context of carbon neutrality.In the framework of"technique-dominated"new green and intelligent energy system with"three new"of new energy,new power and new energy storage as the mainstay,the"super energy basin"concepts with the Ordos Basin,Nw China as a representative will reshape the concept and model of future energy exploration and development.In view of the"six inequalities"in global energy and the resource conditions of"abundant coal,insufficient oil and gas and infinite new energy"in China,it is suggested to deeply boost"China energy revolution',sticking to the six principles of independent energy production,green energy supply,secure energy reserve,efficient energy consumption,intelligent energy management,economical energy cost;enhance"energy scientific and technological innovation"by implementing technique-dominated"four major science and technology innovation projects',namely,clean coal project,oil production stabilization and gas production increasing project,new energy acceleration project,and green-intelligent energy project;implement"energy transition"by accelerating the green-dominated"four-modernization development',namely,fossil energy cleaning,large-scale new energy,coordinated centralized energy distribution,intelligent multi-energy management,so as to promote the exchange of two 80%s"in China's energy structure and construct the new green and intelligent energy system.

Medication Regularity of Ye Tianshi's Prescription in Treatment of Tinnitus Based on Ancient and Modern Consilia Cloud Platform

[Objectives]Through data mining and analysis,the medication characters and ideas of ye Tianshi,a famous physician in Qing Dynasty,in the treatment of tinnitus were explored,so as to provide reference for clinical tinnitus treatment.[Methods]The medical records of Ye Tianshi's treatment of tinnitus in the Ancient and Modern Consilia Cloud Platform were retrieved and sorted,and the use frequency,properties,metabolic organ and compatibility of related Chinese herbs in the cases were analyzed through system-integrated statistical analysis,cluster analysis,association rules analysis and complex network analysis.[Results]A total of 46 medical cases were finally included,with 15 frequently used Chinese herbs,including poria with hostwood,Radix Rehmanniae Preparata,magnetitum,etc.Most of the drugs are cold and neutral in nature,sweet and bitter in taste,and metabolized in liver and heart.The results of cluster analysis show that the therapeutic drugs for tinnitus are mainly divided into four categories:strengthening spleen,nourishing yin,suppressing symptoms,and clearing heat.The results of association rules analysis show that the commonly used traditional Chinese medicine combination is composed of three herbs,poria with hostwood,Radix Ophiopogonis,and Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae,which have spleen-strengthening and stomach-tonifying effects.The results of complex network analysis show that the core prescription is based on Siwu Decoction.[Conclusions]In the treatment of tinnitus,Ye Tianshi paid attention to the three internal organs of heart,kidney and gallbladder,and made good use of lung qi-dispersing drugs to clear heat,sweet and cold drugs to tonify stomach and nourish yin,and tonic drugs to suppress symptoms.The core prescription is mainly composed of Radix Rehmanniae,Radix Rehmanniae Preparata,oyster,poria with hostwood,Fructus Forsythiae,Radix Paeoniae Alba,antelope horn,magnetitum and Radix Asparagi.The commonly used single herbs are poria with hostwood,Radix Rehmanniae Preparata and magnetitum.The combination of poria with hostwood,Radix Ophiopogonis and Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae is more common.

Women＇s Representation in ＂Trimalchio＇s Feast＂ and The Great Gatsby

The aim of this paper is to show the interesting intertextual relation between The Great Gatsby and the episode ＂Trimalchio＇s Feast＂--inserted in Petronius＇ Satyricon-regarding to the construction of female characters. The characters with the nearest resemblance are Fortunata （Trimalchio＇s wife） and Myrtle （Tom Buchanan＇s mistress）. Fortunata＇s presentation stands out several elements which mark her by degradation, the same sort of elements which is possible to observe in Myrtle＇s description. Among these qualities, there are the violence and the ugliness shown in their physical and psychological portrayal, exhibited on the way they dress and behave in the social gatherings in which they take part. These features are also showed in the manner they are treated by their men. Fitzgerald also shows his characters--male or female in a very similar manner. The women, in both books, are not presented in a flattering way, for sure, but they are not also presented as inferior beings. Wherefore the ancient piece can be once more approximate from modern narratives and this fact reflects in its reception and on the clear, and timeless, influence it has on literature in general as in the case of Fitzgerald＇s novel.

The modern context and ancient resources of Chinese literature

To enter into and utilize the resources of ancient literature is a necessity for literary modernity. In the twentieth century, modern Chinese literature generally adopted four paradigms in pursuit of this objective： the socio-political paradigm that viewed traditional literature in terms of ＂quintessence-dross＂ under the guidance of the Marxist doctrine of the critical inheritance of cultural heritage; the ＂spiritual awakening＂ paradigm that, being inspired by Western schools of thought such as hermeneutics, viewed traditional literature as ＂the source of new literature＂; the scientific-aesthetic paradigm that viewed traditional literature as combining scientific interpretation and modern aesthetics and focused on interpretation, transformation, innovation and creation from within; and the folk paradigm that viewed literary tradition as a narrative of daily life demonstrating the way in which ancient and modern literature were connected in a cultural whole. What is important in the complementary and competitive development of these coexisting paradigms is highlighting ＂problem consciousness＂ in ＂interaction＂ and ＂original creation＂ and the reconstruction of the value of real human life through entering into and reactivating the resources of ancient literature.
