身份定位的文化归依:《莱拉》的地方诗学

地方身份表达了人与生存环境之间的关系,是一种区别自我与他者且有意识地进行主体评价的认知过程。美国当代女作家玛丽琳·罗宾逊的最新小说《莱拉》,延续其文学创作以性别视野作为关注人类生存的叙事方式,再现女性流浪主体的地方丧失,以感性经验建构地方身份,解构暴力物语的人性压制,将主体纳入加尔文教义为信仰核心的家园文化规训之中,书写以地方文化价值为依托的身份塑造与存在方式。

调和的意义:《莱拉》中罗宾逊的宗教书写

美国作家玛丽琳·罗宾逊通过2014年出版的小说《莱拉》对自己的虚构作品写作进行了阶段性总结.《莱拉》的女性主题继承了罗宾逊一贯的偏向保守的路线,表达出作者对于激进女性解放运动的反思.在当代后世俗语境下,罗宾逊坚持向读者展示加尔文主义灵活、人性的一面,强调“个人的神性”,即以个人体悟接近宗教的路径.这种思维方式导致个人空前的孤独感,但是这种孤独感在美国文化中与个人主义相联系,突出了精神内在的积极意义.

暴力叙事与精神重生:玛丽莲·罗宾逊《莱拉》中的自我与共同体

美国当代知名作家玛丽莲·罗宾逊在文学创作中着重反映人类存在的精神境界。她的基列小说三部曲的第三部《莱拉》,延续前两部关于西部个人主义与现代性自我的书写,在表现方式上,从单纯聚焦自我内部的叙事,转向自我与他者关系的探究。在批判暴力的同时,强调知识与信仰对完善精神世界的促进作用,呈现他者与自我彼此依存的共同体建构,再现罗宾逊所倡导的"知识精神"。

Tunneling of Dirac Particles from Kaluza-Klein Black Hole

Applying the fermions tunneling method, proposed by Kerner and Mann recently, we discuss the tunneling characteristics of Dirac particles from the stationary Kaluza-Klein black hole. To choose Gamma matrix conveniently and avoid the ergosphere dragging effect, we perform it in the dragging coordinate frame. The result shows that Hawking temperature in this case also can be reproduced by the general Dirac equation.

From Chemical Langevin Equations to Fokker-Planck Equation: Application of Hodge Decomposition and Klein-Kramers Equation

The stochastic systems without detailed balance are common in various chemical reaction systems, such as metabolic network systems. In studies of these systems, the concept of potential landscape is useful However, what are the su^cient and necessary conditions of the existence of the potential function is still an open problem. Use Hodge decomposition theorem in differential form theory, we focus on the general chemical Langevin equations, which reitect complex chemical reaction systems. We analysis the conditions for the existence of potential landscape of the systems. By mapping the stochastic differential equations to a Hamiltonian mechanical system, we obtain the Fokker-Planck equation of the chemical reaction systems. The obtained Fokker-Planck equation can be used in further studies of other steady properties of complex chemical reaction systems, such as their steady state entropies.

Lyme Disease in Iraq： First Detection of IgM Antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in Human Sera

The sera of 180 human samples were tested for the presence of antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi using the ELISA （enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay） technique. Out of 180 sero-samples, 46 （25.55%） were positive. Females of the age range 18-35 years had the highest rate of sero-positive samples 14 （38.88%）, while the highest percentage of sero-negative samples was found in males of the age range 50-80 years. The other sero-positive samples were： 6 （26.08%）, 6 （25%） and 3 （11.53%） in males of ages between 18-35, 35-50 and 50-80 years, respectively, and 11 （29.72%） and 6 （17.64%） in females in the age ranges 35-50 and 50-80 years, respectively. The mean concentration of Anti- B. burgdorferi antibody was higher （16.7 U/mL） when compared with mean concentration of normal value （5.5 U/mL）, P 〈 0.001.

Global well-posedness of the fractional Klein-Gordon-Schr¨odinger system with rough initial data

We investigate the low regularity local and global well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for the coupled Klein-Gordon-Schr¨odinger system with fractional Laplacian in the Schr¨odinger equation in R^（1＋1）. We use Bourgain space method to study this problem and prove that this system is locally well-posed for Schr¨odinger data in H^（s_1） and wave data in H^（s_2） × H^（s_2-1）for 3/4- α ＆lt; s_1≤0 and-1/2 ＆lt; s_2 ＆lt; 3/2, where α is the fractional power of Laplacian which satisfies 3/4 ＆lt; α≤1. Based on this local well-posedness result, we also obtain the global well-posedness of this system for s_1 = 0 and-1/2 ＆lt; s_2 ＆lt; 1/2 by using the conservation law for the L^2 norm of u.

Energy transfer between components of a cable stayed beam model under the concentrated excitation:1:2 modal resonance

The present study aims to investigate the dynamic behaviors and energy transfer between components of a cable stayed beam structure subjected to a concentrated load,in which the primary resonance of the beam and one-to-two internal resonance between modes of the beam and the cable occur.Galerkin discretization and multiple time scales method are applied to derive the modulation equations of the system governing the amplitude and phase.Two sags of span ratios are defined to modulate the internal resonance.Frequency response,amplitude response,phase diagram,Poincare map,and time history curves are calculated and used to investigate the modal resonance dynamics.The results demonstrate that the beam and the cable have two resonant peaks in frequency responses,where the beam always shows hardening spring property and the cable may present hardening and softening spring properties affected by sag to span ratio.The system is prone to complex dynamic behavior with the small amplitude excitation in the primary resonance region.

Klein Paradox of Two-Dimensional Dirac Electrons in Circular Well Potential

We study two-dimensional massive Dirac equation in circular well potential. The energies of bound states are obtained. We demonstrate the Klein paradox of this relativistic wave equation:For large enough potential depth, the bound states disappear from the spectra. Applications to graphene systems are discussed.
