关于宗教与音乐关系研究的“取域”与“定位”

研究宗教对音乐的影响,或者具体到基督教对西方音乐的影响,首先必须对宗教与我们所研究的问题进行必要的取域与定位。 自打有宗教以来,宗教就一直与人发生着非常密切的关系,可以说,宗教始终与人的历程伴生。我同意这样的说法:宗教是人把握世界的一种方式。正如马克思主义创始人所言,人用理论的(逻辑—抽象语言)、艺术的(形象—审美语言)、宗教的(信仰—幻象语言)、实践—精神的(操作—直觉语言)的方式与世界发生关系。有人说,

In situ analysis of multi-twin morphology and growth using synchrotron polychromatic X-ray microdiffraction

Synchrotron polychromatic X-ray microdiffraction（micro-XRD） was applied to study in situ deformation twinning of commercially AZ31（Mg-3Al-1Zn） strip subjected to uniaxial tension.The morphology and growth of twins were analyzed in situ under the load level from 64 to 73 MPa.The X-ray microdiffraction data,collected on beamline 12.3.2 at the Advanced Light Source,were then used to map an area of 396μm x 200μm within the region of interest.The experimental set-up and X-ray diffraction microscopy with a depth resolution allow the position and orientation of each illuminated grain to be determined at the submicron size.A list of parent grains sorted by crystallographic orientation were selected to examine their twinning behavior.The results depict twin variant selection,local misorientation fluctuation and mosaic spread for multi-twins within the same parent grain.As load increases,the amplitude of misorientation fluctuation along twin trace keeps increasing.This is attributable to the accumulation of geometrically necessary dislocations.

Island instantaneous coastline extraction based on the characteristics of regional statistics of multispectral remote sensing image

This study adopted IKONOS remote sensing images and selected spectral characteristic areas, through regional pixel statistics and calculating weight coefficients of each band, processed the images with the spectral normalized method, which made the features of islands, land and water features more obviously in the images. On this basis, the OTUS was used to determine the optimal segmentation threshold, and the normalization image binarization was made, thus the island coastline was extracted. This method used the characteristic curve method to separate the land and water, obtained the binarization images and maintained the original edge effectively. The coastline that was extracted by Binary Morphology was continuous, reliable and high signal-to-noise ratio. The results showed that this method could extract the coastline fast, simply and effectively, which had the practical value.

Modified method for extraction of watershed boundary with digital elevation modeling

Boundary extraction of watershed is an important step in forest landscape research. The boundary of the upriver wa-tershed of the Hunhe River in the sub-alpine Qingyuan County of eastern Liaoning Province, China was extracted by digital elevation modeling (DEM) data in ArcInfo8.1. Remote sensing image of the corresponding region was applied to help modify its copy according to Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) image抯 profuse geomorphological structure information. Both the DEM-dependent boundary and modified copy were overlapped with county map and drainage network map to visually check the effects of result. Overlap of county map suggested a nice extraction of the boundary line since the two layers matched precisely, which indicated the DEM-dependent boundary by program was effective and precise. Further upload of drainage network showed discrepancies between the boundary and the drainage network. Altogether, there were three sections of the extraction result that needed to correct. Compared with this extraction boundary, the modified boundary had a better match to the drainage network as well as to the county map. Comprehensive analysis demonstrated that the program extraction has generally fine precision in position and excels the digitized result by hand. The errors of the DEM-dependant extraction are due to the fact that it is difficult for program to recognize sections of complex landform especially altered by human activities, but these errors are discernable and adjustable because the spatial resolution of ETM image is less than that of DEM. This study result proved that application of remote sensing information could help obtain better result when DEM method is used in extraction of watershed boundary.

An improved ViBe algorithm based on adaptive detection of moving targets

There exists a Ghost region in the detection result of the traditional visual background extraction(ViBe)algorithm,and the foreground extraction is prone to false detection or missed detection due to environmental changes.Therefore,an improved ViBe algorithm based on adaptive detection of moving targets was proposed.Firstly,in the background model initialization process,the real background could be obtained by setting adjusting parameters in mean background modeling,and the ViBe background model was initialized by using the background.Secondly,in the foreground detection process,an adaptive radius threshold was introduced according to the scene change to adaptively detect the foreground.Finally,mathematical morphological close operation was used to fill the holes in the detection results.The experimental results show that the improved method can effectively suppress the Ghost region and detect the foreground target more completely under the condition of environmental changes.Compared with the traditional ViBe algorithm,the detection accuracy is improved by more than 10%,the false detection rate and the missed detection rate are reduced by 20% and 7% respectively.In addition,the improved method satisfies the real-time requirements.

A new singularity extraction technique is presented to calculate accurately the singular integrals in Time Domain Electric Field Integral Equation (TDEFIE).In singularity extraction pro- cedure,through the aid of the first order Taylor series of time base function including time-retardation,the singularity of the integrand can be removed.The surface current density and backscattered far-field response of a conducting cube illuminated by a Gaussian plane wave is com- puted using the presented technique.Comparisons are made with the results obtained by the Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) of the frequency domain and the results obtained by using Ve- chinski's time averaging technique,which demonstrate that the presented method with this new time domain singularity extraction technique to solve TDEFIE is very accurate and stable.

Numerical Simulation of the Non-isothermal Viscoelastic Flow Past a Confined Cylinder

A collocated finite volume method on unstructured meshes is introduced to simulate the viscoelastic flow of the polymer melt with viscous dissipation past a confined cylinder.The constitutive equation for the simulations is non-isothermal FENE-P model,which is derived from the molecular theories.The temperature effect on the macroscopic fields(e.g.,velocity,stress) and microscopic fields(e.g.,molecular orientation,deformation,stretch) is investigated by comparison of isothermal and non-isothermal situations.This investigation indicates that temperature rise caused by viscous dissipation should not be neglected since it has significant effect on the macroscopic and microscopic properties of the polymer melt.

Nucleotide-binding Oligomerization Domain-1 Ligand Induces Inflammation and Attenuates Glucose Uptake in Human Adipocytes

Objective To investigate the effects of stimulant for nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain 1 （NOD1） on secretion of proinflammatory chemokine/cytokines and insulin-dependent glucose uptake in human differentiated adipocytes. Methods Adipose tissues were obtained from patients undergoing liposuction. Stromal vascular cells were extracted and differentiated into adipocytes. A specific ligand for NOD1, was administered to human adipocytes in culture. Nuclear factor-κB transcriptional activity and proinflammatory chemokine/cytokines production were determined by reporter plasmid assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake was measured by 2-deoxy-D-[ 3 H] glucose uptake assay. Furthermore, chemokine/cytokine secretion and glucose uptake in adipocytes transfected with small interfering RNA （siRNA） targeting NOD1 upon stimulation of NOD1 ligand were analyzed. Results Nuclear factor-κB transcriptional activity and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 （MCP-1）, interleukin （IL）-6, and IL-8 secretion in human adipocytes were markedly increased stimulated with NOD1 ligand （all P〈0.01）. Insulin-induced glucose uptake was decreased upon the activation of NOD1 （P〈0.05）. NOD1 gene silencing by siRNA reduced NOD1 ligand-induced MCP-1, IL-6, and IL-8 release and increased insulin-induced glucose uptake （all P〈0.05）. Conclusion NOD1 activation in adipocytes might be implicated in the onset of insulin resistance.

The IEEE 802. 16 standard specifies the air interface of wireless metropolitan area network （WMAN）, and aims to provide wireless broadband access for integrated voice and video services. This paper presents the efficient design and implementation of fast Frouier transform （FFT） and inverse fast Frouier transform （IFFT） for the application in IEEE 802. 16d orthogoual frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） system. In this design, a novel pipeline structure for the branch of butterfly unit （BU） is proposed, which can improve the processing symbol rate by adding the number of branch flexibly. The symmetrical ping-pang structure of random access memory （RAM） is performed to increase the system throughput. Simulation results reveal that only with 1 branch of BU, the proposed FFF/IFFT design can almost achieve the maximum bandwidth requirement of IEEE 802. 16d OFDM system. And this design has been verified by FPGA and successfully implemented in the prototype of WiMAX transceiver.

Plane extraction for navigation of humanoid robot

In order to make the humanoid robot walk freely in complicated circumstance, the reliable capabilities for obtaining plane information from its surroundings are demanded. A system for extracting planes from data taken by stereo vision was presented, After the depth image was obtained, the pixels of each line were scanned and split into straight line segments. The neighbouring relation of line segments was kept in link structure. The groups of three line segments were selected as seed regions. A queue was maintained for storing seed regions, and then the plane region was expanded around the seed region. The process of region growing continued until the queue of seed regions was empty. After trimming, the edges of the planes became smooth. In the end, extracted planes were obtained. In the experiment, two models were used： pipe and stairs. Two planes in pipe mode/and six planes in stairs model were extracted exactly. The speed and precision of algorithm can satisfy the demands of humanoid robot＇s navigation.

Stable analysis on speed-adaptive observer in regenerating mode

Speed-adaptive full-order flux observer is the most promising flux estimator among all the sensorless control method.However,conventional speed-adaptive flux observer becomes unstable during regenerating operation at low speed since induction motor is an observable system except dc excitation.Thus,the instability problem is caused by inappropriate designing of observer.Based on the eigenvalues of extended observer,this paper interprets unstable situation,that the eigenvalues of extended ob-server have a positive real part.Therefore,the observer cannot converge.Against the two different solutions for unstable prob-lem-positive real maintaining and current error augment,the proposed method based on the eigenvalue could unify these two solutions,which gives the complete stability condition for speed-adaptive full-order observer.It does a lot help in observer de-signing.The observer configured by this proposed method was verified in the torque controlling of 20 kW induction motor.According to the experiment result,with appropriate designing of observer,the unstable situation during regeneration mode could be completely overcome.

A spectral calibration technique, a data processing method and the importance of calibration and re-sampling methods for the spectral domain optical coherence tomography system were numerically studied, targeted to optical coherence tomography （OCT） signal processing implementation under graphics processing unit （GPU） architecture. Accurately, assigning the wavelength to each pixel of the detector is of paramount importance to obtain high quality images and increase signal to noise ratio （SNR）. High quality imaging can be achieved by proper calibration methods, here performed by phase calibration and interpolation. SNR was assessed employing two approaches, single spectrum moving window averaging and consecutive spectra data averaging, to investigate the optimized method and factor for background noise reduction. It was demonstrated that the consecutive spectra averaging had better SNR performance.
