论《手势人生》中的音乐叙事与“他者”政治

作为当今美国中生代的韩裔作家,李昌来以多部获奖小说蜚声文坛。他的作品几乎无一不在深刻地探索着少数族裔群体与白人主流社会之间复杂的互动关系,这也使得他在相当一段时间颇受文学批评家、尤其是后殖民主义批评家的广泛关注。其中,《手势人生》以老年男性富兰克林·秦为叙述视角,集中展示了他身上兼有的韩、日、美三重身份之间极为脆弱的张力,为批评家们提供了尤为广阔的阐释空间。然而,大多数批评家往往都忽视了小说中一个非常重要的方面,那就是西方古典音乐在多处颇为微妙的在场。事实上,正是在聆听、演奏这些充满丰富叙事性的音乐时,小说男主人公隐藏、压抑的真实身份才与他现在建构的各种人格面具产生了一系列激烈、深刻的对抗与对话,并最终促成他完成从"他者"到"自我"的精神成长之旅。

Intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma:Is there really an almost exclusively female predominance?

Biliary cystic tumors,such as cystadenomas and cystadenocarcinomas,are rare cystic tumors of the liver,accounting for less than 5% of all intrahepatic cysts of biliary origin.Biliary cystadenomas have been known to occur predominantly in women (> 85%),and 38%-44% of biliary cystadenocarcinomas have occurred in males.We wrote this letter to comment on a brief article (World J Gasteroenterol 2011 January 21;17(3):361-365) regarding a case of intrahepatic biliary cystic neoplasm treated with surgery.The adenoma-carcinoma sequence is the possible mechanism of carcinogenesis.If the carcinogenesis of biliary cystadenocarcinoma occurs in the adenoma-carcinoma sequence,we believe that the male-to-female ratio of cystadenoma should be higher than the incidence rate that has been reported to date.

Active Appearance Model Based Hand Gesture Recognition

This paper addresses the application of hand gesture recognition in monocular image sequences using Active Appearance Model （AAM）, For this work, the proposed algorithm is composed of constricting AAMs and fitting the models to the interest region. In training stage, according to the manual labeled feature points, the relative AAM is constructed and the corresponding average feature is obtained. In recognition stage, the interesting hand gesture region is firstly segmented by skin and movement cues. Secondly, the models are fitted to the image that includes the hand gesture, and the relative features are extracted. Thirdly, the classification is done by comparing the extracted features and average features. 30 different gestures of Chinese sign language are applied for testing the effectiveness of the method. The Experimental results are given indicating good performance of the algorithm.

Hand Gesture Recognition Based on Improved FRNN

The trained Gaussian mixture model is used to make skincolour segmentation for the input image sequences. The hand gesture region is extracted, and the relative normalization images are obtained by interpolation operation. To solve the proem of hand gesture recognition, Fuzzy-Rough based nearest neighbour（RNN） algorithm is applied for classification. For avoiding the costly compute, an improved nearest neighbour classification algorithm based on fuzzy-rough set theory （FRNNC） is proposed. The algorithm employs the represented cluster points instead of the whole training samples, and takes the hand gesture data＇s fuzziness and the roughness into account, so the campute spending is decreased and the recognition rate is increased. The 30 gestures in Chinese sign language alphabet are used for approving the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The recognition rate is 94.96%, which is better than that of KNN （K nearest neighbor）and Fuzzy- KNN （Fuzzy K nearest neighbor）.

The Cultural Linguistic Code

For over thirty years I have been researching the origins of language by means of an original and innovative metod. If it consists of considering oral articulation, which produce phonetic sounds as informative gestures and expressions of a visible-expressive code, that precedes the use of phonetic codes. The meaning expressed through each of these articulate-oral gestures was identified through research-responses by two select sample groups of psychotic subjects, chosen because of their greater permeable accessibility to the collective unconscious. In this sense the application of phonetic sounds, that is ＂words＂, is no more than representative or substitutes of the use of pre-articulate oral-facial gestures, used by pre-sapiens to express their informative intentions. Using this method I have published three books, which analyzed precisely and systematically the inter-relationships between consonants in words of Info-european origin--that is the roots of these words--discovering that words sharing common root-consonants do indeed express part or all of their meaning in correspondence with the original meanings of their gestural archetype. The projection into objects of these pre-articulate gestural meanings denotes them by means of mediators＇ metaphors and analogies, this is appearing to be the fundamental reason for the variety of languages, since diverse peoples will use different psychic Freudian puns and methaphors, for the projection to similar object. I have examined over twenty languages, in relation to this generalized cultural code model, founded on biological reactivity to conditions in reality to advantage given its extensive informative use.

Effects of sexual reproduction of the inferior competitor Brachionus calyciflorus on its fitness against Brachionus angularis

Sexual reproduction adversely affects the population growth of cyclic parthenogenetic animals. The density-dependent sexual reproduction of a superior competitor could mediate the coexistence. However, the cost of sex may make the inferior competitor more vulnerable. To investigate the effect of sexual reproduction on the inferior competitor, we experimentally paired the competition of one Brachionus angularis clone against three Brachionus ealyciflorus clones. One of the B. calyciflorus clones showed a low propensity for sexual reproduction, while the other two showed high propensities. The results show that all B. calyciflorus clones were excluded in the competition for resources at low food level. The increased food level promoted the competition persistence, but the clones did not show a clear pattern. Both the cumulative population density and resting egg production increased with the food level. The cumulative population density decreased with the mixis investment, while the resting egg production increased with the mixis investment. A trade-off between the population growth and sexual reproduction was observed in this research. The results indicate that although higher mixis investment resulted in a lower population density, it would not determinately accelerate the exclusion process of the inferior competitor. On the contrary, higher mixis investment promoted resting egg production before being excluded and thus promised a long- term benefit. In conclusion, our results suggest that mixis investment, to some extent, favored the excluded inferior competitor under fierce competition or some other adverse conditions.

Comparison of Advantages About 3D Laparoscopic Surgery in Postoperative Recovery

Analyzing and discussing advantages of3D laparoscopic surgery in postoperative recovery Method： Selecting patients were treated by 2D laparoscopic surgery or 3D laparoscopic,surgery in our hospital from January 2015 to January 2016 as research subjects. According to different methods, we separate patients into two groups, and each group is 150 patients. The one is test group （3D laparoscopic surgery）, and the other is control group（2D laparoscopic surgery）. Observing two groups for some factors, such as probability of surgical injury, post-operative exhaust time, catheterization time, time of drainage tube placement and hospital time. Result： The magnification of3D laparoscopy image is significantly better than 2D laparoscopy. Error damage fraction of test group（2. 00%） is lower than control group （28.00%）, which effectively reduces the probability of total surgical errors and provides more accurate operation. At the same time, exhaust time, catheterization time, time of drainage tube placement and hospital time of test group are significantly lower than the control group, statistically significant （p〈0.05）. Conclusion： 3D laparoscopic surgery has characterizations of easy operation, small window, fast recovery and small probability of complications occurrence. The HD vision is widen to improve the level of minimally invasive surgery and it is worthy of clinical application.

Analysis of Shock Acceleration by Dotting of Finger Braille and Influence of Postures of Receiver＇s Hand

Finger Braille is one of the tactual communication media of deafblind people. In one-handed Finger Braille, a sender dots the left part of the Braille code on the Distal Interphalangeal （DIP） joints of the index, middle and ring fingers of a receiver, and subsequently dots the right part of the Braille code on the Proximal Interphalangeal （PIP）joints of the same fingers. Because there is a small number of non-disabled people who are skilled in Finger Braille, deafblind people communicate in this medium only through an interpreter. We have been developing a Finger Braille recognition system using small piezoelectric accelerometers worn by the receiver To recognize the dotted positions （DIP or PIP joints）, we have made a hypothesis that the dotting on the DIP joints causes a hard impact, and the dotting on the PIP joints causes a soft impact, when the receiver＇s hand forms a natural longitudinal arch on the desk. The difference of each impact is indicated by its damping amplitude ratio. In this paper, a measurement experiment about the postures of the receiver＇s hand was conducted. The postures of the receiver＇s hand were as follows： forming the natural longitudinal arch on the desk and fully contacting the desk. As a result, the dotting on the DIP joints of both postures caused the hard impacts; the dotting on the PIP joints caused the soft impact when the receiver＇s hand formed the natural longitudinal arch; the dotting on the PIP joints caused the hard impact when the receiver＇s hand fully contacted the desk. Therefore, we could verify the hypothesis.

Large males have a mating advantage in a species of darter with smaller,allopaternal males Etheostoma olmstedi

Theory suggests that males that are larger than their competitors may have increased mating success, due to both greater competitive ability and increased attractiveness to females. We examined how male mating suceess varies with male size in the tessellated darter Etheostoma olmstedi. Previous work has shown that large males tend to move around and breed in vacant breeding sites, and consequently provide less care for their eggs, while smaller individuals can be allopaternal, caring for the eggs of other males as well as for their own. We studied female egg deposition in a natural breeding population using artificial breeding sites and in the laboratory, where female choice of spawning site was restricted to two breeding sites tended by two males of different sizes. In both the field and the laboratory, nests tended by larger males were more likely to receive new eggs. Additionally, the mean size of males associated with a nest was positively correlated with both the maximum coverage of eggs at the nest and the number of times new eggs were deposited. We discuss how the increased mating success of larger males, despite their decreased parental care, may help explain aUopaternal care in this species [Current Zoology 56 （1）： 1-5, 2010].

Impact of Chiapanecan Handicrafts

The purpose of this research is to study the perception of Chiapanecan handicrafts as an element of sustainable competitive advantage in the State of Chiapas, Mexico, mainly due to the tourism. Mexican handicrafts contribute to 20.3% of the Gross Domestic Product （GDP） of the cultural sector, that is, 0.6% of the National GDP. This research is quantitative, descriptive, and transversal. The sample selection was made for convenience so certain criteria could be met. In total, 70 tourists were surveyed in the handicraft commerce area. For the data retrieval, an instrument with the “Sustainability SWOT” （sSWOT） was designed, which consists of eight dimensions （trends, environmental challenges, threats, opportunities, strengths, weaknesses, which to prioritize, and where to act）. The instrument consists of 22 items with a single Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5 （1 = Null to 5 = Excellent）. The study showed that 54.29% of the tourists who visit Chiapas perceive that handicrafts have a regular impact on the small producer’s quality of life, while the remaining 45.71% point out that the impact is greater.

论西方音乐文化与“黄皮肤的俄耳甫斯”的矛盾共生关系——以《饥饿》与《手势人生》为例

西方音乐文化往往以西洋乐器为重要载体,亚裔美国音乐人也常被称作"黄皮肤的俄耳甫斯"。西方音乐文化与"黄皮肤的俄耳甫斯"二者相互依赖、相互塑造,存在着明显的共生关系。这种共生关系也充满了复杂性、矛盾性与脆弱性。张岚《饥饿》中的华裔音乐人宋天试图通过小提琴来建构自己全新的主体性,最终被证明只是"伪音叉主体"。李昌来《手势人生》中的韩裔爱乐人黑旗时蕗试图借助钢琴来建构自己合法的、被认可的"美国人"身份,同样被证明是虚假的"手势主体"。

A vision-centered multi-sensor fusing approach to self-localization and obstacle perception for robotic cars

Most state-of-the-art robotic cars＇ perception systems are quite different from the way a human driver understands traffic environments. First, humans assimilate information from the traffic scene mainly through visual perception, while the machine perception of traffic environments needs to fuse information from several different kinds of sensors to meet safety-critical requirements. Second, a robotic car requires nearly 100% correct perception results for its autonomous driving, while an experienced human driver works well with dynamic traffic environments, in which machine perception could easily produce noisy perception results. In this paper, we propose a vision-centered multi-sensor fusing framework for a traffic environment perception approach to autonomous driving, which fuses camera, LIDAR, and GIS information consistently via both geometrical and semantic constraints for efficient self- localization and obstacle perception. We also discuss robust machine vision algorithms that have been successfully integrated with the framework and address multiple levels of machine vision techniques, from collecting training data, efficiently processing sensor data, and extracting low-level features, to higher-level object and environment mapping. The proposed framework has been tested extensively in actual urban scenes with our self-developed robotic cars for eight years. The empirical results validate its robustness and efficiency.

Clinical Analysis of Acupuncture Combined with Tuina in Treating Cervical Vertigo

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with tuina in treating patients with cervical vertigo. Methods: According to the principle of randomization, 258 cases with cervical vertigo who met the inclusion criteria for the study were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 129 cases in each. The patients in the observation group received acupuncture combined with tuina therapy, while those in the control group were just treated by the same acupuncture therapy as in the observation group. After 10-day continuous treatments, the clinical efficacies of the two groups were analyzed and compared. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was 100%, versus 86.0% of the control group, and the difference was significant(P<0.05). After treatment, cervical range of motion(ROM) scores in both groups were statistically significantly different from those before treatment(all P<0.05); in addition, there was a statistically significant difference in inter-group comparison of ROM score(P<0.05). Conclusion: Compared with simple acupuncture treatment, acupuncture combined with tuina therapy has a better effect in improving the ROM of cervical vertigo patients, with higher clinical efficacy.

Ergodicity and First Passage Probability of Regime-Switching Geometric Brownian Motions

A regime-switching geometric Brownian motion is used to model a geometric Brownian motion with its coefficients changing randomly according to a Markov chain.In this work, the author gives a complete characterization of the recurrent property of this process. The long time behavior of this process such as its p-th moment is also studied. Moreover, the quantitative properties of the regime-switching geometric Brownian motion with two-state switching are investigated to show the difference between geometric Brownian motion with switching and without switching. At last, some estimates of its first passage probability are established.

Protocol-optimizing study of combining Tuina and horse-riding squat exercise for knee osteoarthritis

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)manipulation plus horse-riding squat exercise in treating knee osteoarthritis(KOA)and optimize the combining protocol.Methods Based on a 2×2 factorial design,120 eligible KOA patients were randomized into a manipulation group(group A1B2),a manipulation plus horse-riding squat group(group A1B1),a sitting knee-adjustment group(group A2B2 group),and a sitting knee-adjustment plus horse-riding squat group(group A2B1),with 30 cases in each group.The intervention was conducted three times a week,lasting for four weeks.The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index(WOMAC)was taken as the major measure for efficacy evaluation(including three component scores,pain,stiffness,and daily function,and total score).Results The three component scores(pain,stiffness,and daily function)and the total score of WOMAC showed significant differences after the intervention in the four groups(P<0.05).There were significant inter-group differences in the WOMAC stiffness score amongst the four groups after the intervention(P<0.05).In group A1B1,the step length,stride,walking speed,and knee joint flexion angle changed significantly after treatment(P<0.05).After the intervention,the step length changed significantly in group A1B2(P<0.05),and the walking speed changed significantly in group A2B1(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the step length,stride,walking speed,or knee joint flexion angle among the four groups(P>0.05).The extensor peak torque at 180°/s changed significantly in group A1B2 after treatment(P<0.05).Neither the intra-group nor the inter-group comparisons of the four groups revealed significant differences in the other isokinetic muscle strength parameters(P>0.05).The main effect of manipulation showed significant in affecting the WOMAC pain and total scores(P<0.05).The main effect of horse-riding squat exercise showed significant in affecting the WOMAC pain and stiffness scores(P<0.05).Conclusion The four treatment protocols all can improve the symptoms of KOA,for instance,relieving pain and stiffness,and enhancing daily function.Group A2B1 produces the most eminent effect in relieving joint stiffness.The main effects of both manipulation and horse-riding squat exercise are significant in reducing pain.Besides,the main effect of horse-riding squat exercise is significant in relieving joint stiffness.

We verify the accuracy of the curvature-based potential.By means of the idealized numerical experiment,we show that the curvature-based potential is in good agreement with the numerical experiment,and the errors are within a reasonable range.Based on the curvature-based potential,the equipotential surfaces of particles are derived,and the intrinsic relations between the equipotential surfaces and Weingarten helicoids are shown.

A Study of One S- and One P-Wave Heavy Meson Interaction in a Chiral Quark Model

The analytical forms of the interaction potentials between one pseudo-scalar/vector and one scalar/tensor/axial-vector heavy mesons are deduced based on a chiral quark model. Our results explicitly show the attractive property between the two heavy mesons. Consequently, a series of possible molecular states are obtained. It is expected that our study might shed some light on the popular discussions of the newly observed XYZ states.
