向死而生——《长路》中的死亡书写

《长路》是美国当代著名小说家科马克·麦卡锡的一部后启示录小说,曾斩获2007年美国普利策小说奖及鹅毛笔奖。麦卡锡通过描绘一个人类文明坍塌、死亡横虐的末日景象,为小说人物创造了一个巨大的死亡空间,而尸体、雨雪、灰尘等意象为死亡书写提供了更为丰富的文化象征符号。麦卡锡延续一贯的写作风格,在《长路》中描绘了暴力、猎杀等残忍的场景。死亡是个体的终极表达形式,与生命紧密相连,不可分割。通过对死亡的书写,麦卡锡向读者揭示了未知的凶险与人性的丑恶,同时也体现了其对于生命的关怀及人性的探索。

科马克·麦卡锡小说《长路》中救赎的重构

麦卡锡描写末日景象的小说《长路》打破了后启示录小说的叙事结构,结尾的留白造成了评论界对作者究竟提供了宗教意义的救赎还是陷入彻底虚无主义的结论上产生了分歧。文章通过梳理麦卡锡的信仰和创作主题的变化,指出这部小说营造了基督教启示录氛围却拒绝上帝的出场,论证了作者新的救赎路径:首先将末日的“裂缝”状态正义化,帮助主人公摆脱对救世主的盼望和重返旧世界的宿命,其次通过父子彼此的“许诺”克服了对未知的恐惧,以开放的“弥赛亚精神”获取面对真实生活的勇气,在灾难中确立人的存在意义。

路在脚下——从萨特存在主义看《长路》

科马克·麦卡锡的小说《长路》讲述了世界末日到来之时,秩序崩塌,文明消亡,一对劫后余生的父子展开自我救赎,在迷茫中寻求生存的温暖与希望。虽然一路艰辛,但是深厚的父子关系及他们对道德的判断和伦理的选择都淋漓尽致地展现了人性的真善美,向读者传递出满满的正能量。运用萨特存在主义理论分析文本,可以更加深刻地了解父子的处境及行为选择的意义与价值,反思人与自然的关系,珍惜和平的生存环境,并激励读者执着奋斗、不懈追求、永不放弃,敢于去发现和探索未知的路。

从《我们》到《长路漫漫》:跨越70年的呼应——兼论20世纪俄罗斯文学中反乌托邦精神的嬗变与回归

长篇小说《我们》作为20世纪反乌托邦小说之鼻祖,其对未来的深刻反思体现了俄罗斯作家在国家乌托邦主义开始盛行之际的清醒眼光和可贵人文关怀。反乌托邦思想是白银时代文学的延续,是俄罗斯文学深厚的人道主义思想传统的延续。然而,这种反乌托邦精神在随后的苏维埃时代里不断地遭到变形与扭曲,使人文精神在苏联时代的许多作品中丢失了。随着"解冻"时代到来,失落的反乌托邦精神逐渐在苏联文学中回归,至20世纪末,当代俄罗斯作家的反乌托邦写作鲜明地呈现出深化的趋势。中篇小说《长路漫漫》对《我们》的遥相呼应正是这种变化趋势的典型体现。

Epitaxial Growth of 150mm Silicon Epi\|Wafers for Advanced IC Applications

With the device feature's size miniaturization in very large scale integrated circuit and ultralarge scale integrated circuit towards the sub\|micron and beyond level, the next generation of IC device requires silicon wafers with more improved electrical characteristics and reliability as well as a high perfection of the wafer surface. Compared with the polished wafer with a relatively high density of crystal originated defects (e. g. COPs), silicon epi\|wafers can meet such high requirements. The current development of researches on the 150mm silicon epi\|wafers for advanced IC applications is described. The P/P\++ CMOS silicon epi\|wafers were fabricated on a PE2061 Epitaxial Reactor (made by Italian LPE Company). The material parameters of epi\|wafers, such as epi\|defects, uniformity of thickness and resistivity, transition width, and minority carrier generation lifetime for epi\|layer were characterized in detail. It is demonstrated that the 150mm silicon epi\|wafers on PE2061 can meet the stringent requirements for the advanced IC applications.

Correlation and Path Analysis for Growth Traits in F_1 Population of Pearl Oyster Pinctada martensii

120 pearl oysters （Pinctada martensii） were randomly sampled from F1 population, and shell length, shell width, shell height, shell weight and total weight of each sample were measured. Correlation and path analysis were conducted on the basis of measurement data. The results showed that shell length, shell width, shell height, shell weight and total weight were significantly correlated （P 〈 0.05）. Total weight was significantly and positively correlated with shell weight （r = 0.8970）, shell height （r = 0.6974）, shell width （r = 0.6521） and shell length （r = 0.5486）. Shell weight, shell height, shell width and shell length had positive and direct effects on total wet weight, with the values of 0.6356, 0.1872, 0.1814 and 0.0599, respectively. The results indicated that growth traits （shell length, shell width, shell height, shell weight and total wet weigh） of the F1 population could be improved by direct or indirect selection.

Effects of tissue absorption on calculation of mean photon path length using modified Beer-Lambert law

The mean path length(MPL)of photons is a critical parameter to calculate tissue absorption coefficient as well as blood oxygenation using modified Beer-Lambert law,where in the differential path factor(DPF)is often assumed as constant over range of tissue absorption.By utilizing the Monte Carlo(MC)simulation of photon migrations in the leg,this study used four approaches to estimate MPL,and compared them with that determined by the MPL definition.The simulation results indicate that the DPF is remarkably affected by tissue absorption,at approximate 10% variation.A linear model is suggested to calculate MPL for measurements of tissue absorption as well as blood oxygenation using modified Beer-Lambert law.

Recursive bisection placement algorithm with the predicted wirelength

To obtain a better placement result, a partitioning-based placement algorithm with wirelength prediction called HJ-Pl is presented. A new method is proposed to estimate proximity of interconnects in a netlist, which is capable of predicting not only short interconnects but long interconnects accurately. The predicted wirelength is embedded into the partitioning tool of bisection-based global placement, which can guide our placement towards a solution with shorter interconnects. In addition, the timing objective can be handled within the algorithm by minimizing the critical path delay. Experimental results show that, compared to Capol0. 5, mPL6, and NTUplace, HJ-P1 outperforms these placers in terms of wirelength and run time. The improvements in terms of average wirelength over Capo10. 5, mPL6 and NPUplace are 13%, 3%, and 9% with only 19%, 91%, and 99% of their runtime, respectively. By integrating the predicted wirelength-driven clustering into Capo10. 5, the placer is able to reduce average wirelength by 3%. The timing-driven HJ-P1 can reduce the critical path delay by 23%.

Spatial spillover effects of transport infrastructure on regional economic growth

Spatial spillover effects,either positive or negative,of transport infrastructure,highways/expressways,etc.,on regional economic growth are proposed.Using the panel data for 11 cities of Zhejiang province from 1994 to 2003,a spatial production function is applied to examine the spatial spillovers which can be generated as a positive output spillover from the transport infrastructure between neighboring cities.Some spatial weighted matrices are adopted to define different neighboring cities to measure how easily factors or economic activities can migrate between regions.The estimation results show that the output elasticity of the highway infrastructure in 11 cities are all insignificant at a 5% significance level;hence,highway infrastructure in a region cannot explain the same region's economic growth.On the other hand,the highway infrastructure of other contiguous regions has positive spillover effects on a same region's economic growth.

Small World Properties Generated by a New Algorithm Under Same Degree of All Nodes

Based on the model of the same degree of all nodes we proposed before, a new algorithm, the so-called “spread all over vertices” （SAV） algorithm, is proposed for generating small-world properties from a regular ring lattices. During randomly rewiring connections the SAV is used to keep the unchanged number of links. Comparing the SAV algorithm with the Watts-Strogatz model and the “spread all over boundaries” algorithm, three methods can have the same topological properties of the small world networks. These results offer diverse formation of small world networks. It is helpful to the research of some applications for dynamics of mutual oscillator inside nodes and interacting automata associated with networks.

Unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)was introduced to take road segment traffic surveillance.Considering the limited UAV maximum flight distance,UAV route planning problem was studied.First,a multi-objective optimization model of planning UAV route for road segment surveillance was proposed,which aimed to minimize UAV cruise distance and minimize the number of UAVs used.Then,an evolutionary algorithm based on Pareto optimality technique was proposed to solve multi-objective UAV route planning problem.At last,a UAV flight experiment was conducted to test UAV route planning effect,and a case with three scenarios was studied to analyze the impact of different road segment lengths on UAV route planning.The case results show that the optimized cruise distance and the number of UAVs used decrease by an average of 38.43% and 33.33%,respectively.Additionally,shortening or extending the length of road segments has different impacts on UAV route planning.

Role of insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 signaling pathway in longevity

The insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling pathway is evolutionary conserved in diverse speciesincluding C.elegans, saccharomyces cerevisiae, Drosophila melanogaster, rodents and humans, which is involved in many interrelated functions that are necessary for metabolism, growth and reproduction. Interestingly, more and more research has revealed that insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in the regulation of longevity. Generally, disruption of the power of this pathway will extend longevity in species ranging from C.elegansto humans. The role of insulin/IGF-1 in longevit yis probably related to stress resistance. Although the underlying mechanisms of longevity are not fully understood, the Insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway has attracted substantial attention and it will be a novel target to prevent or postpone age-related diseases and extend life span. In this review, we mainly focus on the similar constitution and role of insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway in C.elegans, saccharomyces cerevisiae, rodents and humans.

In this paper, we have investigated theoretically the high harmonic generation form helium atom in long wavelength driving regime at 2000 nm through solving time-dependent Schr6dinger equation. By adding a second harmonic pulse （1000 nm） and a UV attosecond pulse （200 nm） to the driving field, an efficient method for picking out and enhancing ionization path to generate high-yield supercontinuum harmonics is realized, and then an isolated sub-100 as pulse with a bandwidth of 190 eV is significantly obtained.

Transmission line realization of subwavelength resonator formed by a pair of conventional and LHM slabs

In this paper, the authors present the transmission line (TL) realization of one-dimensional subwavelength resonator formed by a pair of conventional right-handed material (RHM) and left-handed material (LHM). In such resonator, a novel reso- nant mode with the resonant frequency depending on the length ratio of the RH/LH TL sections occurs as a consequence of the full phase compensation due to the backward wave in the LH TL section. The theoretical circuit-model analyses are supported by simulation and experimental evidence on resonators with different RH/LH length ratios.

Longest Paths and Cycles in Connected Claw-Free Graphs

A graph is called claw-free if it does not contain a claw as its induced subgraph.In this paper, we prove the following results:1)If G is a 2-connected claw-free graph on n vertices,then for any vertex v and any two distinct vertices x and y in V(G)-{v},G has a path containing v and all neighbors of v and connecting x and y;2) Let C be the longest cycle in a 3-connected claw-free graph G and H a component of G-C,and if H is connected but not 2-connected,then there exist nonadjacent vertices u and v in H such that |V(C)|≥(3(d(u)+)d(v))-2.

A SYNTHETIC ALGORITHM FOR WAVELENGTH ROUTING IN OPTICAL NETWORK

After analyzing the merits and shortcomings of Fixed-Alternated Routing algorithm (FAR) and Least Loaded Routing algorithm (LLR),we propose one novel dynamic optical routing algorithm. Having considered the influences of path’s length and path’s congestion just like in FAR and LLR,we take into account the network resource status-amount of free wavelengths in the network. Proposed algorithm sets up connections on three possible paths according to amount of available free wave-lengths in the network,which effectively decreases the blocking probability. The National Science Foundation (NSF) network and mesh-torus network simulation results show that the performance of this algorithm is better than that of FAR and LLR.

Study in the design and manufacture process of the elastic cable anchor box in steel box girder of Taizhou Bridge

Taizhou Yangtze River Highway Bridge is a large span suspension bridge with three pylons. The elastic cables are installed to connect the steel tower and the steel box girder. The constraints can increase the safety coefficient of the middle saddle, and improve the stress conditions of the middle pylon and decrease the deflection in the middle of the main girder, as well as the longitudinal displacement of the main girder caused by live loads. The anchorage boxes of the elastic cable are installed in the wind fairing outside the vertical web plate of the box girder. Two anchor boxes form a pair and are arranged parallelly. Eight anchor boxes are installed in the bridge. In this paper, the design scheme and the technical difficulties in manufacturing are briefly discussed with the precision control techniques.
