Sterilization of mycete attached on the unearthed silk fabrics by an atmospheric pressure plasma jet

The sterilization of the simulated unearthed silk fabrics using an atmospheric pressure plasma jet（APPJ） system employing Ar/O2 or He/O2 plasma to inactivate the mycete attached on the silk fabrics is reported. The effects of the APPJ characteristics（particularly the gas type and discharge power） on the fabric strength, physical-chemical structures,and sterilizing efficiency were investigated. Experimental results showed that the Ar/O2 APPJ plasma can inactivate the mycete completely within 4.0 min under a discharge power of 50.0 W. Such an APPJ treatment had negligible impact on the mechanical strength of the fabric and the surface chemical characteristics. Moreover, the Ar ions, O and OH radicals were shown to play important roles on the sterilization of the mycete attached on the unearthed silk fabrics.

IN early 1983 archaeologists from the Nanjing Municipal Museum excavated the Neolithic remains of the city at Yingpan Mountain and unearthed a human head sculpture made of pottery from Tomb M32,It is 9.8 centimeters tall with a fine,hard texture.It is hollow and has a smooth, shiny surface.The face is roughly rectangular in shape,with a flat and broad forehead,linear and deep-set eyes,large eye sockets,and thick ears.The nose has a straight bridge,large nostrils and a pointed tip.The ladder-shaped mouth is wide open and the lips are thick.The broad chin is also in a ladder shape.The headgear bears light carv-

Tsha-Tsha Unearthed during the Period of Gyama Gandenpa

One day in July 2007,Horkhang Changpa Tendar told me that they had discovered a group of Tsha-Tsha in the ruin of Lhakhang Chemo (a chamber) in Gyama Town,which they believed belonged among relics from the period of Gadam Pa and had never been discovered before.He also asked us to come to see what they were.

African Short Story Writers and Intrapersonal Conflicts: A Critical Perspective on a Selected Short Story

The article examines the concept of intrapersonal conflict,the ravaging wars within oneself,that which is truly deeper than indecisiveness,what is responsible for inner conflict,its origin,the consequences,and how to avoid it.It employs Dul Johnsons’“In the Jaws of Love”in his Why Women Won’t Make It to Heaven.The theory for the investigation is sociological theory which articulates the inevitable relationship between literature and society.The inquiry unearths that an individuals’attempt to satisfy the needs of one’s environment at the expense of sound reasoning,the individual’s inability to find a balance between the individual’s head and heart,and being religious are detrimental to one’s wellbeing.It creates intrapersonal conflict which is indeed destructive.The paper resolves that people should be able to tell themselves the truth,recognise and accept same,even if it comes from one with whom they disagree.It also explicates that people should not depend on religious and secular leader or people to take decisions for them,and that living in fear is devastating among other things.

Unearthed Artifacts of Western Mythological Figures

Although wars and shifts of power happened constantly during the Southern and Northern dynasties (420-589), the exchange with foreign countries in culture and economy never stopped. Some art works unearthed from the tomb of General Li Xian of the Northern Zhou (died in 569) and his wife in the western suburb of Guyuan County, Ningxia in 1983 are the affirmation of that. These art works include a glass bowl with raised floral design,

A New Transient Impedance-Based Algorithm for Earth Fault Detection in Medium Voltage Networks

This paper presents a new earth-fault detection algorithm for unearthed （isolated） and compensated neutral medium voltage （MV） networks. The proposed algorithm is based on capacitance calculation from transient impedance and dominant transient frequency. The Discrete Fourier Transform （DFT） method is used to determine the dominant transient frequency. The values of voltage and current earth modes are calculated in the period of the dominant transient frequency, then the transient impedance can be determined, from which we can calculate the earth capacitance. The calculated capacitance gives an indication about if the feeder is faulted or not. The algorithm is less dependent on the fault resistance and the faulted feeder parameters; it mainly depends on the background network. The network is simulated by ATP/EMTP program. Several different fault conditions are covered in the simulation process, different fault inception angles, fault locations and fault resistances.

Reading Excavated Laozi: The Lens of Western Scholarship

There has been an increasing interest in the Chinese excavated documents of western scholars.With different version of excavated Laozi,it attracts the attention of researchers.This paper examines the study of unearthed Laozi by western scholars by using Mawangtui and Guodia Laozi,attempts to give readers a basic picture of unearthed Laozi study in western academia.Since there is no way that I can hope to introduce all western studies of unearthed Laozi,this paper will restrict the presentation to just the following topic:Mawangtui Laozi,Guodian Laozi,“Tai Yi Sheng Shui”,“Wu Xing”,and Methodology.

Global glance

Queensland could likely play host to a number of rare minerals, as geologists have unearthed evidence suggesting the presence of platinum and gold, as well as rare-earth elements (REE). "This may be a whole new frontier for Queensland," Natural Resources and Mines Minister Dr Anthony Lynham said over the weekend. "Beyond the potential economic boost for Queensland, the discovery brings a new understanding of mineral potential in a previously under-explored area."

A Novel Transient Current-Based Differential Algorithm for Earth Fault Detection in Medium Voltage Distribution Networks

This paper presents a novel transient current differential algorithm for earth fault detection in unearthed （isolated） and compensated neutral medium voltage （MV） networks. The proposed algorithm uses the transient residual currents, which are very sensitive for earth faults detection. The transient values of residual currents are calculated for each feeder in the network and used as an earth fault indicator. The flow of residual currents is investigated. It is found that the residual current for the faulted feeder is equal to the summation of all residual currents for all other healthy feedersl Based on this investigation, a differential technique is proposed. A percentage restrain performance is proposed to ensure the selectivity and security of the algorithm. The transient algorithm is very sensitive for earth fault incidence. To apply the proposed algorithm, the residual currents can be measured easily by one sensor for each feeder with no need to voltage measurement. The proposed algorithm is less dependent on the fault resistance and the faulted feeder parameters. The network is simulated by ATP/EMTP program. Different fault conditions are covered in the simulation process： different fault inception angles, fault locations and fault resistances.

Overwintering covered with soil or avoiding burial of wine grapes under cold stress:Chinese wine industry’s past and future,challenges and opportunities

In northwest China,where winter is extremely cold and the grapevine is vulnerable to freezing damage,the application of soil covering has promoted the vigorous development of the local grape and wine industries.However,in recent years,the negative effects of burying soil for cold protection on the environment have gradually emerged.In some viticultural regions,the phenomenon of"summer forest,winter desert"has appeared.Therefore,it is urgent for the Chinese grape industry to find a better solution to overwinter safely and environmentally friendly.This review summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of widely used solutions to overwinter such as covering vines with soil,breeding of cold-resistant grapes,cold-resistant cultivation model,physical and chemical covering materials,and protected grape facilities were reviewed.Future overwintering measures were proposed which avoid burial and grape overwintering research directions.It also provides a theoretical foundation and technical support to improve grape yield and quality in northwest China.

字以通神——有关史前汉字的宗教性因素考察

所谓"史前汉字",是指成熟的汉字体系出现之前,在中国境内出土的各种与汉字有密切联系的刻画符号,也有学者称之为"原始文字"(proto-writing)。~①一般认为,成熟的汉字体系开始于殷商甲骨文。从时代来看,甲骨文字系统属于殷商晚期,可是在此之前,中国境内还出土了许多刻画在陶器或玉石器上的几何形符号和象形符号。它们应该如何释读?背后隐藏着什么文化因素?它们与汉字的关系如何?
