A Brief Analysis of The Holy Bible's Impact on the Connotative Meanings of Color Terms and their Applications in Literatures

The Holy Bible,as one of major sources of Western Culture,has a great influence on the Christian culture and Christian thoughts.Because language is a carrier of culture,the English study will be water without a source and a tree without roots if we ignore The Holy Bible which is the core of Christianity.To study English demands not only grammar and vocabulary,but also the culture behind the language.A brief analysis of connotative meanings of color terms,which are influenced by The Holy Bible and applied in literatures,will be given,in order to offer some help to English learners to know the connotations of color terms better,to understand literatures more profoundly and to have a general feeling about the impact which The Holy Bible has on language.

Bacterial profile and comparative antimicrobial efficacy of fresh urine of cows, buffaloes and humans

Background:Holy cow(Bos indicus)urine is often considered a valuable therapeutic agent in India for treatment of many illnesses including infectious diseases.This study was conducted to assess the presence of potentially pathogenic bacteria and to determine antibacterial activity of cow urine vis a vis human and buffalo urine using standard bacteriological methods.Method:The study on 73 urine samples(Murra buffalo,Bubalus bubalis 13;Sahiwal cattle,Bos indicus 11;Tharparkar cattle,Bos indicus 18;Vrindavani cattle,a cross bred strain of Bos indicus and Bos taurus 12,and 19 humans),were collected aseptically and bacteriological analysis was done using standard clinical bacteriological methods.To determine antibacterial activity of filter-sterilized urine agar well diffusion and microplate broth dilution methods,against a battery of 18 strains,were used.Results:Revealed presence of at least 14 types of potentially harmful bacteria in fresh urine samples,Escherichia coli,was the most common detected in 13 samples followed by Hafnia alvei(11),Staphylococcus epidermidis(8),Bacillus mycoides(7),Proteus mirabilis(5),Enterococcus faecium(4),Acinetobacter calcoaceticus(3),Enterococcus faecalis(3),Paenibacillus pantothenticus(3),Salmonella enterica ssp.enterica Ser Enteritidis(3),Klebsiella pneumoniae ssp.pneumoniae(2),Pantoea agglomerans(2),Erwinia rhapontici(1),and Providencia rettgeri(1).The analysis for antimicrobial activity of filter-sterilized urine samples(73)against 18 test strains revealed that none of the urine could inhibit bacterial growth in agar well diffusion assay and 45 samples failed to inhibit any of the 18 bacteria with broth dilution assay.Those 28 urine samples which inhibited growth of one or more test bacteria were not bactericidal.For most of the test strains,there was no significant(P>0.05)difference in antibacterial potential of different urines irrespective of species,breed and sex of urine donors.However,S.epidermidis was inhibited by significantly(P<0.05)more human male urine samples than human female urine samples.Buffalo urine samples were more often inhibitory to A.xyloxidans than urine of human and all three types of cattle(P<0.05).Similarly,urine of buffaloes was significantly(P<0.05)more effective on E.rhapaontici and S.epidermidis than urine from humans,Tharparkar and Vrindavani cattle.There was no significant(P>0.05)difference in antibacterial activity of urines of three different breeds of cattle(Sahiwal,Tharparkar and Vrindavani).Conclusion:The study concluded that a sizeable proportion of urine samples from apparently healthy individuals carry potentially pathogenic bacteria.The urine of some individuals irrespective of sex and breed or species might be inhibitory to a select group of bacteria but the belief,that holy cow urine is antibacterial,can’t be generalized.In no case,fresh urine can be recommended for human consumption.

The Symbolic Significance of Holy Grail in The Da Vinci Code

Organic-walled Microfossils from the Early Middle Cambrian sediments of the Holy Cross Mountains,Poland：Possible Implications for Sedimentary Environment in the SE Margin of the Baltica

An association of organic-walled microfossils consisting of filamentous cyanobacteria, algal coenobia and acanthomorphic acritarch have been documented from non-calcareous claystones and mudstones of the Pepper Mountains Shale Formation（PMSF）, located in its stratotype area in the Pepper Mountains, which are part of the Holy Cross Mountains in Poland. These sediments represent the oldest strata of the ？ysogóry Unit, deposited on the edge of the East European Craton（Baltica）. Non-branched, ribbon-like and thread-like cyanobacteria trichomes exhibit morphological similarities to families Nostocaceae and Oscillatoriaceae. Cells assembled in rounded to irregular clusters of monospecific agglomerations represent multicellular algal coenobia, attributed to the family Scenedesmaceae. The co-occurrence of acritarchs belonging to species as Eliasum llaniscum, Cristallinium ovillense and Estiastra minima indicates that the studied material corresponds to the lower Middle Cambrian. Deposition of the PMSF took place in shallow marine environment, influenced by periodical freshwater inputs. The varying degree of coloration of organic-walled microfossils is interpreted in this study as factor indication of possible different source of their derivation. Dark brown walls of cells assembled in algal coenobia might have sustained previous humification in humid, terrestrial environments, which preceded their river transport into the sea together with nutrients, causing occasional blooms of cyanobacteria in the coastal environment and the final deposition of both groups of organisms in marine deposits.

Numerical study of a highly sensitive surface plasmon resonance sensor based on circular-lattice holey fiber

A new design of surface plasmon resonance(SPR)sensor employing circular-lattice holey fiber to achieve highsensitivity detection is proposed.The sensing performance of the proposed sensor is numerically investigated and the results indicate that our proposed SPR sensor can be applied to the near-mid infrared detection.Moreover,the maximum wavelength sensitivity of our proposed sensor can reach as high as 1.76×10^(4)nm/refractive index unit(RIU)and the maximum wavelength interrogation resolution can be up to 5.68×10^(-6)RIU when the refractive index(RI)of analyte lies in(1.31,1.36).Thanks to its excellent sensing performance,our proposed SPR sensor will have great potential applications for biological analytes detection,food safety control,bio-molecules detection and so on.

The concept of capital before and after industrial revolution： Islamic versus market economy

The concept of capital and ownership of capital in market economy and Islamic economy is different. Also the role that capital is expected to play in the economy is different in two economic systems. One of the key elements in creation of the capital （capital formation） is interest rate. In Islam interest is strictly forbidden. This paper reviews the concept of capital and the process of capital formation both before and after industrial revelation. In that context it also looks at the function of interest rate during the time of Prophet Mohammed and the present time.

On the Regulatory Function and Historical Significance of the Peace of Augsburg (1555) in Religious Conflicts

In 1555,the Imperial Diet in Augsburg passed a resolution to extend the application of decrees concerning peace and order of the Holy Roman Empire to religious issues,trying to achieve religious peace and order of the Empire.The Peace of Augsburg(1555)explicitly recognizes the legal existence of Lutheranism and stipulates the“religious freedom”of Imperial Estates,“cuius regio,eius religio”principle,and its exceptions.However,due to the lack of effective mechanism and measures to guarantee the compliance with the Peace of Augsburg(1555),its regulatory function can only be realized through“commitment”.The Peace of Augsburg(1555)is mainly formulated to pursue the peace and order of the Empire and also reflects the fundamental principle of compromise.However,the concepts such as“religious tolerance”and“right protection”contained therein are not original intention of the Peace of Augsburg(1555)or the subjective wishes of all parties thereto.

The Modified God——A Gender Study of the Pluto-Proserpina Episode in "The Merchant's Tale"

"The Merchant's Tale" is one of the most intriguing tales in Medieval literary canon The Canterbury Tales. In this tale,Chaucer created the Pluto-Proserpina episode which alludes to the biblical story of God expelling Adam and Eve. Previous studies of the episode mainly focus on historical and mythological background of two pagan gods with some focusing on narrative function of the episode. Nevertheless, when examined through the lens of gender studies, Pluto and Proserpina are in effect fabricated as a substitution of God, revealing His androgyny. This article aims to analyze similarities and differences between PlutoProserpina episode, examine God's images in Holy Bible and Medieval society, and finally conclude that the modified God created by Chaucer in the Pluto-Proserpine episode unveils androgyny of God, which is a great challenge to Medieval ideology concerning God's gender.

Houses of the Holy

A growing number of church leaders from across East Africa are turning to Chinese architects to expedite construction of churches, in a trend that began about six years ago. Some church leaders say the reason for this is that some local architects and designers have a history of substandard work. ＂We believe Chinese architecture is ranked among the best in the world. We are rapidly losing faith in Kenyan archi- tects who do shoddy work and have pending court cases,＂ Pastor Anderson Kaliche of the People＇s Deliverance Church told ChinAfrica. ＂We do not want to risk our lives by having weak buildings fall on us. as reported in many cases in the Kenyan media. Local contractors are unreliable.＂

The Biblical Archetypal Model and Its Embodiment in The Tempest

The Tempest, written by William Shakespeare, is highly influenced by The Holy Bible, the western culture and literature source. This paper utilizes Northrop Frye’s mythic archetypal criticism theory to study the play’s embodiment of the biblical archetypal model. Previous studies have only dealt with one aspect of the biblical archetype in The Tempest. This essay discusses that the characters, structure, plot, and imagery of The Tempest can all find the archetypes in The Holy Bible. It is found that the play is the Scriptures’ double to some extent, through which Shakespeare wants to spread biblical values such as morality and fraternity.
