The Significance of Constructing TCM Psychosomatic Medicine from the Holistic View of the Unity of Nature and Man

With the development of medical technology, the problem of fragmentation of medical research has become increasingly prominent, and a series of iatrogenic diseases, drug-induced diseases and drug toxicity and side effects have resulted in an increase in the number of diseases. In the face of these problems, the medical concept has been re-examined and re-thought. The concept of the holistic view of the unity of nature and man in traditional Chinese medicine has certain enlightenment for dealing with the problems in the current medical development. Based on the holistic view of the unity of nature and man, the overall connection between human’s heart and body and nature is explained, and the further construction of TCM psychosomatic medicine is conducive to guiding the diagnosis and treatment of clinical diseases, and providing new enlightenment for the current medical concept thinking and clinical disease research.

The Thought of the Oneness Between Man and Nature in Walden

From the view of the ecological theory, this paper tries to analyze that Thoreau uses Chinese traditional philosophical thought--- the oneness of man and nature to deal with the relationship of human beings and the nature in Walden.

Path Integral Quantization of Non-Natural Lagrangian

Path integral technique is discussed using Hamilton Jacobi method. The Hamilton Jacobi function of non-natural Lagrangian is obtained using separation of variables method. This function makes an important role in path integral quantization. The path integral is obtained as integration over the canonical phase space coordinates, which contains the generalized coordinate q and the generalized momentum p. One illustrative example is considered to explain the application of our formalism.

The Nature of Man and His Place in the Universe——A Comparative Study of An Essay on Man and Gulliver’s Travels

As leading figures in English literature during the Neoclassical period,Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift both showed great concern with the nature of man and his place in the Great Chain of Being.They both emphasized the irreplaceable role of reason in guiding man in his self-positioning in the universe,and pointed out the tragic,pathetic,or detestable fall man was vulnerable to in case of violating the law of nature.Pope attached more importance to setting right man' s position as against God and beast,while Swift showed more interest in the chain of being within the human society;Pope kept warning man against his pride and possible ruin as a result of his ambition,while Swift worried more about man' s degradation due to loss of reason.

On the Theory of Harmonious Co-existence between Man and Nature by Marx and Engels

Marx and Engles believed that man and nature develop harmoniously, when the activities of man constitute the content of nature, which is changed constantly because of the activities of man. Marx and Engles also pointed out the duarity of the conquest, change and influence exerted on nature by man. On one hand, it can improve people's riving conditions and make people free from the enslavement of the nature. On the other hand,it may also lead to excessively snatching and wrecking nature, then make the deterioration of the environment and ecology out of balance. They also, from the technical angle of ecology, put forward the concrete measures to realize the harmonious symbiosis of man and nature in the development of economy. They also believed that only when socialism or communism is realized, can the conciliation of mankind and nature be realized finally.Marx and Engle's theory of harmonious symbiosis of man and nature is of great theoretical directive significance for us to insist on the scientific development view.

Modern Annotation on Marx's Theory of Man and Nature

Marx's theory of man and nature is an indispensable important constituent of Marx's society development theory. The humanity is not always there,and they come from natural world and are long-term development products of the nature. Man has the undeniable dependence on the nature,but this kind of dependence is not the negative adaptation and is that the humanity has the huge motility to the nature. It should correctly process the relation between man and nature,and realize positive cycle and coordinated development between natural ecology and human society. It has the significant theory value and the practical significance for human society's sustainable development to grasp and comprehend scientific connotation of Marx's theory of man and nature.

Passive Cooldown Performance of Integral Pressurized Water Reactor

The design of an integral pressurized water reactor (IPWR) focuses on enhancing the safety and reliability of the reactor by incorporating a number of inherent safety features and engineered safety features. However, the characteristics of passive safety systems for the marine reactors are quiet different from those for the land nuclear power plant because of the more formidable and dangerous operation environments of them. This paper presents results of marine black out accident analyses. In the case of a transient, the passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS) is designed to cool the reactor coolant system (RCS) from a normal operation condition to a hot shutdown condition by a natural circulation, and the shutdown cooling system (SCS) is designed to cool the primary system from a hot shutdown condition to a refueling condition by a forced circulation. A realistic calculation has been carried out by using the RELAP5/MOD3.4 code and a sensitivity analysis has been performed to evaluate a passive cooldown capability. The results of the accident analyses show that the reactor coolant system and the passive residual heat removal system adequately remove the core decay heat by a natural circulation.

Man and Nature——A Comparative Study of Views Towards Nature Between Chinese and Westerners

Chinese and westerners, due to the different natural environment they are situated in and further due to different backgroundin history, economy, politics and culture, have made for differences in their ways of seeing nature and the relationship between man andnature, which substantially influences how Chinese and western societies proceed. This is a study on the similarities and differences onpeople's views of nature in the past and the reasons behind the differences.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAN AND NATURE IN TRADITIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS CONCEPTS OF CHINA AND WEST

As the process of economic globalization gathers momentum, dialogue between different cultures has become extremely important. There should be dialogue between the Chinese and Western cultures under the principle of equality and mutual respect and understanding to increase consensus for mutual development.

Protecting Our Common Homestead:A Comparative Study on Attitudes Towards Man and Nature in Chinese and the Western Culture

In light of increasingly worsening environmental pollution,this paper,through comparing different attitudes towards the relationship between man and nature in Chinese and the western culture,points out rebuilding a harmonious relationship between man and nature is the common object of human being,and appeals to people to shake off man-centered thinking pattern,and to treat nature as our friend.

Chinese and Western Philosophy on Man and Nature

Throughout history, various cultures have sought to understand the relationship between man and nature. Therefore, the relation-ship between man and nature is one of the basic problems to be solved. The aim of this paper is to compare the differences between the philosophical reactions to the relationship between man and nature in Chinese and Western cultures, the reasons related to the differences and its present developments.

Man and Nature in Chinese and Western Traditions

The Chinese conception of "oneness with man and heaven"and the Western tradition of man’s separation from nature accompanied by a subject- object dichotomy are the cores of each culture, which largely decides the discrepancy in various aspects of the Chinese and Western ways. To have an embedded and penetrating idea about the differences between the two cultures, it is necessary to gain sufficient knowledge of man- nature relation in dominant Chinese and Western conceptions. This paper aims to explore this issue from the perspective of Taoism and Confucianism in Chinese context, and ancient Greek and Hebraic heritage and modern mechanical view in Western tradition.

Techno-economic assessment of a chemical looping splitting system for H2 and CO Co-generation

The natural gas(NG)reforming is currently one of the low-cost methods for hydrogen production.However,the mixture of H2 and CO_(2) in the produced gas inevitably includes CO_(2) and necessitates the costly CO_(2) separation.In this work,a novel double chemical looping involving both combustion(CLC)and sorption-enhanced reforming(SE-CLR)was proposed towards the co-production of H2 and CO(CLC-SECLRHC)in two separated streams.CLC provides reactant CO_(2) and energy to feed SECLRHC,which generates hydrogen in a higher purity,as well as the calcium cycle to generate CO in a higher purity.Techno-economic assessment of the proposed system was conducted to evaluate its efficiency and economic competitiveness.Studies revealed that the optimal molar ratios of oxygen carrier(OC)/NG and steam/NG for reforming were recommended to be 1.7 and 1.0,respectively.The heat integration within CLC and SECLRHC units can be achieved by circulating hot OCs.The desired temperatures of fuel reactor(FR)and reforming reactor(RR)should be 850
C and 600
C,respectively.The heat coupling between CLC and SECLRHC units can be realized via a jacket-type reactor,and the NG split ratio for reforming and combustion was 0.53:0.47.Under the optimal conditions,the H2 purity,the H2 yield and the CH4 conversion efficiency were 98.76%,2.31 mol mol-1 and 97.96%,respectively.The carbon and hydrogen utilization efficiency respectively were 58.60% and 72.45%in terms of the total hydrogen in both steam and NG.The exergy efficiency of the overall process reached 70.28%.In terms of the conventional plant capacity(75 × 103 t y^(-1))and current raw materials price(2500$t^(-1)),the payback period can be 6.2 years and the IRR would be 11.5,demonstrating an economically feasible and risk resistant capability.

Resonance analysis of a high-speed railway bridge using a stochastic finite element method

There is always some randomness in the material properties of a structure due to several circumstances and ignoring it increases the threat of inadequate structural safety reserves.A numerical approach is used in this study to consider the spatial variability of structural parameters.Statistical moments of the train and bridge responses were computed using the point estimation method(PEM),and the material characteristics of the bridge were set as random fields following Gaussian random distribution,which were discretized using Karhunen-Loève expansion(KLE).The following steps were carried out and the results are discussed herein.First,using the stochastic finite element method(SFEM),the mean value and standard deviation of dynamic responses of the train-bridge system(TBS)were examined.The effectiveness and accuracy of the computation were then confirmed by comparing the results to the Monte-Carlo simulation(MCS).Next,the influence of the train running speed,bridge vibration frequency,and span of the bridge on dynamic coefficient and dynamic response characteristics of resonance were discussed by using the SFEM.Finally,the lowest limit value of the vibration frequency of the simple supported bridges(SSB)with spans of 24 m,32 m,and 40 m are presented.

Integrated management of natural resources in the Ecuador Highlands

The Andean region of Ecuador is characterized by extreme poverty caused by low agricultural productivity, limited off-farm opportunities, and lack of access to markets. Poverty is related to degradation of natural resources as lagging agricultural productivity leads to incursions into fragile areas and use of erosive farming techniques on steeply sloped hillsides. Food production in fragile areas degrades soil and water resources, contributes to deforestation and loss of biodiversity, and reduces productive potential over time. This article discusses an agricultural development project designed to reduce the long-term downward development spiral in a watershed in Bolivar, Ecuador. The applied research program began with analysis of the state of soil resources, water, and biodiversity in the Chimbo sub-watershed. This information was used to design a plan with the input of local stakeholders to introduce environmentally friendly farming practices, soil and water conservation techniques, and various institutional innovations to promote resource conservation. This adaptive management program has been a solid success. This article describes the project, the challenges it faced, and how the process of adaptive management led to consensus among stakeholders about the appropriateness of sustainable management practices. We show how implementation of enhanced management practices contribute to reduced environmental vulnerability and improved welfare.

Human Development from the Perspective of Ecology

the pursuit of the liberation of all mankind and the comprehensive development of human freedom is the theme of all marxist theories.Marx in the criticism of classical political economics“abstract”,to the whole history of the definition of“general”,found the abstract“general”of the people behind the objective existence and state of development,so as to clearly indicate the relationship between man and nature of human development has experienced on the basis of the nature of the dependence on one stage,gradually from natural objects depends on the stage and with the natural fusion of freedom comprehensive stage,and the concrete connotation of man’s free overall and implementation path.
