Dirac Particles' Tunneling Radiation from Dilaton Space-time with Squashed Horizons

The aim of this paper is to investigate Hawking radiation of Dirac particles from the Dilaton space-time with squashed horizons by improving the method of Kerner and Man’s tunneling analysis.We construct appropriate matrices for general covariant Dirac equation,and derive the tunneling probability and Hawking temperature.The results show that both Dirac particles and scalar particles radiate at the same Hawking temperature.

Abbott-Deser-Tekin Charge of Dilaton Black Holes with Squashed Horizons

We consider the conserved charge of static black holes with squashed horizons in the Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory via both the Abbott-Deser-Tekin （ADT） method and its off-shell generalization. We first make use of the original ADT method to compute the mass of the dilaton squashed black holes in terms of three different reference spacetimes, which are the asymptotic geometry, the flat background and the spacetime of the Kaluza- Klein monopole with boundary matched to the original metric, respectively. Each mass satisfies the first law of black hole thermodynamics, although the mass computed on the basis of the boundary matching the Kaluza- Klein monopole is different from that of the other two reference spacetimes. Then the mass of the black holes is evaluated through the off-shell generalized ADT method.

Nationality and Universality: Cultural Consciousness and Fusion of Horizons in Mo Yan’s Novels from an Intercultural Perspective

Within the structure of globalisation,the field of world culture faces challenges that are manifested in the decline of national culture and the crisis of homogeneity of world culture.In this case,world culture should be promoted as a viable path to prosperity and development if it is done on the basis of adhering to the higher consciousness of national culture,developing intercultural dialogue,with the intention forming a situation of mutual learning and promoting the fusion of horizons.The Chinese Culture,Qilu genetic code and native writing embody Mo Yan’s conscious adherence to national culture,his thorough knowledge of “Seeking Roots” and “Vanguard”,the fusion of national and international characteristics and the integration of his hometown and other countries.These show his enthusiasm and courage in launching intercultural dialogue and reaching towards the fusion of horizons.How to face cultural challenges under this changing world pattern?The successful experience of Mo Yan’s novels provides us with vivid examples.

Effective first law of thermodynamics of black holes with two horizons

For a black hole with two horizons, the effective entropy is assumed to be a linear combination of the two entropies of the outer and inner horizons. In terms of the effective thermodynamic quantities the effective Bekenstein-Smarr formula and the effective first law of thermodynamics are derived.

“Fusion of Horizons”——Analysis of Fortress Besieged From the Perspective of Gadamer’s Hermeneutics

According to Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics,two processes of“fusion of horizons”can be described as:the“horizons”of the text,the translator,and the target reader are“fused”together.Based upon the“fusion of horizons”of the hermeneutics proposed by Hans-Georg Gadamer,a leading German Continental philosopher of the twentieth century,this article aims to analyze English version of Wei Cheng written by Qian Zhongshu and then cooperatively translated by Jeanne Kelly and Nathan K.Mao.It is found that the translator can give new meaning to the text through“interpretation”,and on that basis,each interpretation of the text means a new process of“fusion of horizons”.

PIONEERING NEW HORIZONS FOR BASIC RESEARCH

Basic research is one of the main tasks constantly undertaken by the CAS.Its evolutionary course, just like the growth itinerary of the whole Academy,began in the 1950s,with a robust development from the late 1950s to the early 1960s, the ravages during the chaotic decade of the "cultural revolution", the succeeding institutional readjustment and academic revival since the implementation of the on-going reform drive and the "open-door" policy. During the early founding years of the CAS, there were only odds and ends attained from its research work in some disciplines

OPENING NEW HORIZONS FOR VEHICLE SYSTEM DYNAMICS

The non-linear wheel-rail motional model is the first research breakthrough I have made in the field of vehicle system dynamics. The main external interference to a vehicle system in rail-borne transportation comes from the dynamic interaction between the wheel and the rail. To determine the forces exerted on the rail-contacting patches of a railcar is known to be one of the most complicated problems in rail haulage, expecially in its unsaturated state, i.e. before overall sliding occurs. Since the 1960s, many scholars, including K.L. Johnson and J.J.Kalker, have considered it a problem in rolling contact mechanics. However, none of the presented

Micromorphological Features of Diagnostic Horizons in Several soils in Southwest China: Implication for Soil Taxonomic Classification

The comparative studies on micromorphological features in diagnostic horizons of Stagnic Anthrosols, Ustic Ferrosols and Ustic Vertosols in southwestern China were conducted to underpin the rationale for Chinese Soil Taxonomy. The following findings were explored: (1) Stagnic Anthrosols had the specific micromorphological features, e.g., the humic formation in anthrostagnic epipedon, the platy structures in plow subhorizon, the secondary formation of ferromanganese and the weakly optical-orientation clay domains in hydragric horizon, etc.: (2) The groundmasses of ferric horizon in Ustic Ferrosols appeared in hue of 2.5YR or redder, and had pellicular grain structure; (3) Ustic Vertosols had a crust horizon (Acr), and crack structure dominated in Acr and angular blocky structure in disturbed horizon; (4) Because of the distinct differences in micromorphological features among these three soils, the specific micromorphological features might be employed as diagnostic horizons to differentiate soils while the quantifiable micromorphological features might potentially be selected as diagnostic indices for Chinese soil taxonomic classification.

Micromorphology of Solonetzic Horizons as Related to Environmental Events in the Caspian Lowland

Micromorphology of solonetz species with special attention to natric horizon was studied in microcatenas at the Dzhanybek Research Station (northwestern Caspian Lowland). The solonetzic (natric) horizon is easily identified, and it occurs at varying depths, which are the criteria for subdividing solonetzes into 4 species, namely, crusty, shallow, medium and deep. In this sequence, the depth of humus-accumulative horizons increases, and the upper boundary of salinity manifestations goes down. The following micromorphological features are assumed as typical for natric horizons: angular blocky microstructures with partially accommodated aggregates having sharp boundaries and narrow plane-like packing voids; b-fabric speckled in the aggregates' centers and monostriated at their peripheries merging into stress coatings; very few interpedal voids; organo-clay coatings; humusenriched infillings; no calcite and gypsum pedofeatures. A complete set of "natric" features was found only in the crusty solonetz; the shallow solonetz lacks only illuviation coatings, while the medium and deep species have several modifications of fabric elements: blocky aggregates have a rounded shape and are penetrated by biogenic channels favoring their further biogenic reworking; plant residues became more abundant and diverse, and blackened tissues occur; illuviation clay coatings evolved into papules; stress coatings gave birth to striated b- fabrics, thus maintaining a high plasma orientation. The thin sections of natric horizons made 50 and 20 years ago were examined to study the influence of environmental changes (increase in precipitation and rise of ground water table) on micropedofeatures. The following processes took place: (i) in the topsoil: humus accumulation and biogenic structurization; (ii) in the natric horizon-re-arrangement of clay coatings into micromass b-fabrics; and (iii) in the lower part of the natric horizon-development of pseudosand fabric, calcite and gypsum formation. The trends revealed are in good agreement with the environmental events.

New horizons in energy geoscience

Energy is the driving force of universe.Energy released by chemotropic and/or phototropic reactions is considered to have driven the formation of primitive life on the early Earth.The dynamic Earth,the only planet so far recognized with horizontal motion of lithospheric plates and plate tectonics,provides the best example for the interaction of various forms of energy from different sources which made this planet habitable.The ever-increasing energy needs of the modern society has led to the identification,exploration,and exploitation of various forms of conventional and unconventional energy sources as well as the development of advanced techniques and tools.Although there are several established publications that cover various topics of energy,a common platform to address and integrate all aspects of the planet's energy sources,their exploration and development,utilization,and economic and social implications is lacking.With this objective,we launch our new journal“Energy Geoscience”(ENGEOS)to cover a broad spectrum of topics catering to a large segment of scientific community who are interested in various aspects of natural energy.
