声乐研习中的感悟

声乐既是一门艺术,也是一门科学,它不同于一般的艺术和其他学科,它的"乐器"存在于人体内部,想要控制其发出美妙的声音有很大难度,所使用的方法也很抽象,这就更加凸现了声乐学习与训练的重要性。在这篇文章中,我主要从三方面论述了声乐研习中所存在一些的问题,首先是基本唱姿,其二是辩证理论原则,其三为心理及头脑的重要作用。

On untranslatability of classical Chinese poetry： From the perspective of aesthetic function of language

The author analyzes the untranslatability of the classical Chinese poetry from the perspective of aesthetic function of language. The untranslatability lies firstly in the heterogeneity, indeterminism and the ambiguity of the Chinese language itself. Moreover, the classical Chinese poetry displays its unique features and beauty which can not be rendered into English in terms of aesthetic function of language.

Giorgio Vasari and Mannerist Architecture： A Marriage of Beauty and Function in Urban Spaces

The first part of this essay deals with Giorgio Vasari＇s conception of architecture in sixteenth-century Italy, and the second part examines Vasari＇s practical application of one of his constructions, the loggia （open gallery or arcade） or corridoio （corridor）. The essay also discusses the merits of Vasari＇s open gallery （loggia） as a vernacular architectural construct with egalitarian functions and Vasari＇s principles of architecture （design, rule, order, and proportion） and beauty （delight and necessity） for the formulation of the theory of art in Mannerism, a sixteenth-century style of art.

Where Psychology Meets Language Learning:Exploring the Positive Nexus

This paper provides an overview of positive psychology(PP),or the study of elements that make life most worth living(Peterson,2006),and demonstrates its efficacy by detailing five intervention studies.By aligning PP objectives and linguistic aims in second language teaching and learning,the studies show multiplied,concurrent results,heightened teacher and learner wellbeing and improved language proficiency.One important caveat is that PP interventions work best when they cater specifically to individual learners.

Following Domo-Kun： The Commoditization of Cultural Objects in the Global Market

This paper analyzes and attempts to bridge the gap between popular culture＇s aesthetics, popularized by Camille Paglia and her work Sex, Art and American Culture： Essays （1992], and international marketing culture＇s aesthetics, as described by Schmitt and Simonson （1997）. Popular culture and marketing rarely share the same realm of research. However, these theories start to influence each other, which are especially visible when compared with international marketing as the framework. In order to analyze the gap between popular culture and marketing culture, the author followed a cultural object, Domo-kun, as it entered the US market. Domo-kun gradually changed, including its marketing aesthetics, its significance, and meaning within popular culture after it entered the market. These meaning changes are through the process of commoditization, emotional value, and how they are reinterpreted within cultural frames and reference groups.

The relationship between self-presentation concerns and pre-game affect among adolescent American football players

Background： The influence of self-presentation concerns on the adolescent sport experience has received scant empirical attention. The purpose of this investigation was to prospectively examine the relationship among self-presentational concerns and pre-game affective states among middle and high school aged football players. Methods： American football players （n = 112; mean age = 15.57 years） completed a measure of self-presentational concerns （SPSQ, McGowan, et al., 2008） a week prior to the measurement of selected pre-game affective states （i.e., attentiveness, self-assurance, serenity, and fear）. Results： Regression analyses revealed that concerns about appearing athletically untalented negatively contributed to the significant prediction （p 〈 0.001） of pre-game attentiveness, /3 = -0.43, Radj ^2 19.5% （p 〈 0.001）, and self-assurance, /3 = -0.38, R^dj = 11.9% （p 〈 0.01）. Conclusion： These findings highlight the importance of reducing self-presentational concerns in promoting positive pre-game mental states that likely impact the quality of athletes＇ competitive play and experience.

The Writing Techniques of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby is a wonderful masterpiece by Fitzgerald whether when it refers to the content or refers to the artistic creation, and it is acknowledged as one of the greatest works of American literature in 20 century. The novel was strictly and prudently organized by Fitzgerald, which used lots of writing techniques and skills, such as symbolism, analogy and so on. These techniques contributed to deepen theme and increase artistic appeal. In this novel, Fitzgerald portrays the real state of American society vividly in 1920s with cold attitude and subtle analysis. This is the most typical tragicomedy about the realization and vanishment of ＂American dream＂ that describes the love tragedy between Gatsby and Daisy.

Brief talk about the application of Chinese painting elements on animation design

Animation design has comprehensive artistic features, so its unique creative and artistic modes decide that animation decision has a certain complexity. Whether in artistic conception design or expression design, Chinese paintings all have the unique mode of thinking. The application of the design elements, thinking elements and performance elements of Chinese painting in animations will let the form, content, style more abundant. Scientific use of Chinese elements can create animation works with Chinese cultural connotation and Chinese aesthetic emotion. It can express the aesthetic needs and aesthetic ideals of Chinese culture, thereby creating a classic cartoon art image with Chinese characteristics. The paper mainly analyzes the application of Chinese painting elements in animation design.

Sensory Evaluation of Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose (HEC) in Facial Mask

An equipment test and sensory evaluation were conducted to identify the compatibility and sensory characteristics of HEC in facial masks. These results were then compared to xanthan gum usage. The equipment test results showed that HEC promoted proper tensile capacity in masks which are made from strong structured fabrics such as medium thick, thick and cross woven & homogenous thin mask fabrics. HEC was found to be more compatible with mask fabrics than xanthan gum. HEC improved mask softness and dampness and had an improved water binding and water retention ability compared to xanthan gum. The split face sensory evaluation results demonstrated that sheet masks containing HEC had improved adhesion and lubricity, provided more moisture to the skin, better elasticity and gloss after use and took longer to dry out. Overall, the panel preferred facial masks which contain HEC.

The Formative Role of Art： John Dewey＇s Art as Quotidian Experience

The present manuscript aims to examine the impact of art on the cultivation of personality and sensitivity. The author suggests that education in art contributes to evolving sensibility towards the surrounding world. The artistic knowledge or attitude helps us perceive and feel the quotidian with affection, imagination, and creativity. It functions as a complement to a rational understanding of reality. This paper retakes Aristotelian category of poiesis, considering it a creative act and delves into John Dewey＇s view of relations between education and art. Dewey f＇mds in the aesthetic-artistic experience of the quotidian a way to engage with the other and to treat life as something with deep aesthetic sense. The discussion shown in this article follows four main threads under the scope of the Deweynian notion of art as experience, They are the education for art, education by art, education in art, and the creative act of the quotidian.

From Zi Wei （滋味） to Qi Yun（氣韵）, and Yi Jing （意境）： Rethinking of Chinese Traditional Artistic Category System

The Chinese traditional aesthetic culture not only pay attention to the overall sense of He Xie （Harmony, 和谐）, and pay attention to a kind of artistic conception as Zi Wei （滋味）, Qi Yun （氣韵）, and YiJing （意境） as well. Mr. JI Xian-lin had tried to start from Zi Wei （滋味）, a new comprehension to open a new understanding on Chinese aesthetics. Hence, we embark from the Chinese aesthetic culture and its basic spirit, the humanistic connotation of Zi Wei （滋味）, which sounds with the basis, put forward it into a Music-Dance Spirit （乐舞精神） in Chinese art through this unique view, has made a new thinking to the Chinese traditional aesthetic artistic category system.

Female Voice Interpretation of The House on Mango Street in the View of Synaesthesia

In The House on Mango Street, American ethnic Mexican female writer Sandra Cisneros probes into Latino American’s collective identity and Latinas’ gender identity. Literature and psychology has been linked together starting from Plato and Aristotle period. In the neuropsychological domain, synaesthesia allows people to combine several perceptions together; while in literature, it magically melts the “voice” of the author’s into the works. To interpret the female voice of the book, this article analyzes the voice of poverty and distress, of pursuing ethnic equality, and of pursuing female independence, on the basis of the psychological perception, synaesthesia, so as to reveal Sandra Cisneros’s feminist voice on the reflections of ethnic Mexican female values by her beautiful naive poetic language, with a pure and innocent tone.

Normal Art Education Research on Emotional Education

Normal Art Education should adapt to the needs of social development, has the inevitable need to constantly adjust itself to reform. With the world of politics, economy, science and technology of ＂integration＂ process, China＇ s teachers art education are faced with a unknown era full of opportunities, challenges. In recent years, aiming at the trend for the development of art education in primary and secondary schools, colleges teachers have repeatedly reform their own education system, trying to set up a suitable art teacher education system, however, due to various reasons, Teachers Colleges＇ art teacher education reform has no optimistic results.

A randomized,controlled clinical trial on meropenem versus imipenem/cilastatin for the treatment of bacterial infections

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of meropenem in Chinese patients, we conducted a study for the treatment of patients with lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections and other infections Methods A total of 182 hospitalized patients were enrolled in the study 90 patients received 500 mg meropenem every 12 hours (or 1 g every 12 hours if necessary) and 92 patients received imipenem/cilastatin 500 mg/500 mg every 12 hours (or 1 g every 12 hours if necessary) by intravenous infusion The duration of treatment was 7-14 days for both groups Results Seventy of 90 cases receiving meropenem and 70 of 92 cases receiving imipenem/cilastatin were assessable for clinical efficacy The overall efficacy rates were 90% for the meropenem group and 87% for the imipenem/cilastatin group, and the bacterial eradication rates were 86% in both groups 93 (76%) of 123 strains isolated from patients produced β lactamases Adverse drug reactions were evaluated in 72 cases in the meropenem group and 70 cases in the imipenem/cilastatin group The adverse drug reaction rates were 9 7% and 8 6%, respectively The results showed that there were no statistical differences between these two groups ( P >0 05) Conclusion Meropenem is effective and safe for the treatment of bacterial infections caused mainly by beta lactamase producing strains

Aesthetic Perception of Residential Landscapes in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture,Yunnan Province

The aesthetic perceptions of local residents towards residential landscapes are significant to the protection and sustainable development of regional landscapes, especially in underdeveloped areas with landscape resources of higher aesthetic value. Using Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province as a case study, we conducted questionnaires with 620 local residents and a logistic regression model to determine aesthetic perceptions and factors affecting these perceptions. We found that local residents in Nujiang hold a relatively high perception of their residential landscapes. A majority of respondents, 75.81%, believe their residential landscapes are beautiful. Eight factors were found to influence the aesthetic perception. In direct influential factors, administrative village located in the protected areas and the standard deviation of the elevation around the administrative village have positive influence; distance from administrative village to county town, the ecological environment has changed in recent years, whether tourism development has a negative impact and wish to live in the city have negative influence. In indirect influential factors, both residential house type and have a television at home have positive influence. Based on these results, we discussed relevant policy suggestions to maintain the aesthetic perceptions held by local residents of their residential landscapes and promote the protection and sustainable development of this valuable landscape in Nujiang.

FBG-based ultrasonic wave detection and acoustic emission linear location system

The ultrasonic (US) wave detection and an acoustic emission (AE) linear location system are proposed, which employ fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) as US wave sensors. In the theoretical analysis, the FBG sensor response to longitudinal US wave is investigated. The result indicates that the FBG wavelength can be modulated as static case when the grating length is much shorter than US wavelength. The experimental results of standard sinusoidal and spindle wave test agree well with the generated signal. Further research using two FBGs for realizing linear location is also achieved. The maximum linear location error is obtained as less than 5 mm. FBG-based US wave sensor and AE linear location provide useful tools for specific requirements.

Short-term captivity influences maximal cold-induced metabolic rates and their repeatability in summer-acclimatized American goldfinches Spinus tristis

Studies of metabolic variation in birds have involved both wild and captive individuals, but few studies have investi- gated whether captivity directly influences metabolic rates, despite such variation potentially confounding conclusions regarding how metabolic rates respond to the conditions under study. In addition, whether short-term captivity influences metabolic rate re- peatability in birds is currently uninvestigated. In this study, we measured Msum （maximal cold-induced metabolic rates） in sum- mer acclimatized American goldfinches Spinus tristis directly after capture from wild populations, after approximately 2 weeks of indoor captivity （Captive 1）, and again after an additional 1-2 weeks of captivity （Captive 2）. M~ increased significantly （16.9%） following the initial captive period, but remained stable thereafter. Body mass （Mb） also increased significantly （9.2%） during the initial captive period but remained stable thereafter, suggesting that muscle growth and/or remodeling of body composition pro- duced the observed metabolic variation. Mb and Msum were not significantly repeatable between wild and Captive 1 birds, but were significantly repeatable between Captive 1 and Captive 2 groups. These data suggest that caution must be exercised when extrapolating metabolic rates from short-term captive to wild populations. In addition, Msum was a repeatable trait for birds under conditions where mean metabolic rates remained stable, but Msum repeatability disappeared during acclimation to conditions pro- moting phenotypically flexible metabolic responses. This suggests that the capacity for phenotypic flexibility varies among indi- viduals, and such variation could have fitness consequences

Public Perceptions and Support of Renewable Energy in North America in the Context of Global Climate Change

There is substantial interest in developing a coherent and effective North American renewable energy policy as a way to secure energy but also to mitigate global climate change. Based on surveys of the public in Canada,Mexico, and the United States, the article shows the levels of concern over climate change threats, perceived risk,knowledge of climate change policies, levels of uncertainty, and other perception factors to help understand the relationships between public perceptions and policy preferences for renewable energy. Results show national differences between the three countries in nearly all climate change perceptions, with Mexico reflecting the highest levels of concern and the United States the lowest. Mexico also shows the greatest support for renewable energy sources. However, the results show very high levels of uncertainty about climate change dimensions concerning risk, science, and knowledge and the effectiveness of policy approaches. The data demonstrate strong statistical correlations between risk perception factors and preferences for mitigation policies in the form of renewable energy policies.

Recent Advances in Animal Models of Zika Virus Infection

An infection by Zika virus(ZIKV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus, broke out in South American regions in 2015, and recently showed a tendency of spreading to North America and even worldwide. ZIKV was first detected in 1947 and only 14 human infection cases were reported until 2007. This virus was previously observed to cause only mild flu-like symptoms.However, recent ZIKV infections might be responsible for the increasing cases of neurological disorders such as GuillainBarre′ syndrome and congenital defects, including newborn microcephaly. Therefore, researchers have established several animal models to study ZIKV transmission and pathogenesis, and test therapeutic candidates. This review mainly summarizes the reported animal models of ZIKV infection, including mice and non-human primates.
