试论苗族芦笙曲创作的流变及其文化内涵

芦笙可以说是苗族最有代表性的乐器。芦笙的演奏形式有独奏、对芦笙、套芦笙、芒筒芦笙等。苗族芦笙词的产生和流传,是一种特殊的历史现象和文化现象。传统芦笙曲与芦笙词融为一体、密不可分,是芦笙词的传承媒介和手段。生产的发展,社会的进步,使得个别文化开发较早的苗族地区出现了曲、词相分离的独立音乐形式,即"纯器乐的芦笙曲"。新中国成立以来,由于党和政府的重视,芦笙创作、演奏和制作事业都得到了突飞猛进的发展。

Two-Flux Colliding Plane Waves in String Theory

We construct the two-flux colliding plane wave solutions in higher-dimensional gravity theory with dilaton,and two complementary fluxes. Two kinds of solutions have been obtained: Bell-Szekeres (BS) type and homogeneous type. After imposing the junction condition, we find that only the BS type solution is physically well-defined. Furthermore, we show that the future curvature singularity is always developed for our solutions.

Study on detonation characteristic of low energy detonating fuse in bending conditions

Detonation of low energy detonating fuse was studied in numerical simulation and experiments in bending conditions using LS_DYNA3D. The results show that pressure of the explosion and detonation velocity decrease in the same section areas after bending. In bending conditions, detonation wave was similar to small angle comer diffraction. So the detonation velocity was lower than normal velocity.

Thermal Energy of Confined Gravitons can Vary Cold Geodesic Curves

Internal energy of real warm bodies can change their kinetic-potential energy balance on Keplerian orbits and relativistic geodesic. Chiral nature of the mass results in chirality of gravitons and their energy confinement within the constant energy charge of a moving thermodynamical body. Zero energy-momentum gravitons provide dissipative self-heating and spiral fall of massive stars on gravitating centers. Computed self-heating of the pulsar PSR B1913＋16 quantitatively describes its period decay without an outward emission of metric waves in question. Deviation of warm bodies from geodesic trajectories of cold point matter complies with Einstein＇s directives toward pure field physics of material space plenum without metric singularities.

Objective To observe the clinical effects on spinal stenosis treated with acupuncture on Huatuo Jiaji （夹脊EX-B 2） and vertebral curvature adjustment. Methods Comprehensive therapy was applied to all of 189 cases of any type of spinal stenosis, in which gukong needling technique was applied to Huatuo Jiaji （夹脊EX-B 2） at C4 - T5 and T12 - L5, associated with vertebral curvature adjustment with traction. The therapeutic effects were observed. Results Total effective rate was 96.8%, in which, clinical cured rate was 31.7% and excellent and good rate was 89.9% in average 28-month fol- low-up visit. Conclusion Spinal stenosis is segmental dynamic stenosis. It can be cured by acupuncture on Huatuo Jiaji （夹脊EX-B 2） and vertebral curvature adjustment and satisfactory result is achieved.

Modular Invariants and Singularity Indices of Hyperelliptic Fibrations

The modular invariants of a family of curves are the degrees of the pullback of the corresponding divisors by the moduli map. The singularity indices were introduced by Xiao(1991) to classify singular fibers of hyperelliptic fibrations and to compute global invariants locally. In semistable case, the author shows that the modular invariants corresponding to the boundary divisor classes are just the singularity indices. As an application,the author shows that the formula of Xiao for relative Chern numbers is the same as that of Cornalba-Harris in semistable case.

Constraining photon mass by energy-dependent gravitational light bending

In the standard model of particle physics, photons are massless particles with a particular dispersion relation. Tests of this claim at different scales are both interesting and important. Experiments in territory labs and several exterritorial tests have put some upper limits on photon mass, e.g., torsion balance experiment in the lab shows that photon mass should be smaller than 1.2 x 10-51g. In this work, this claim is tested at a cosmological scale by looking at strong gravitational lensing data available and an upper limit of 8.71 x 10-39g on photon mass is given. Observations of energy-dependent gravitational lensing with not yet available higher accuracy astrometry instruments may constrain photon mass better.

A Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae effector, Xop R, associates with receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases and suppresses PAMP-triggered stomatal closure

Receptor-like kinases(RLKs) play important roles in plant immunity signaling; thus, many are hijacked by pathogen effectors to promote successful pathogenesis. Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae(Xoo) is the causal agent of rice leaf blight disease. The strain PXO99 A has 18 non-TAL(transcription activation-like) effectors; however, their mechanisms of action and host target proteins remain largely unknown. Although the effector XopR from the Xoo strain MAFF311018 was shown to suppress PAMP-triggered immune responses in Arabidopsis, its target has not yet been identified. Here, we show that PXO99 A XopR interacts with BIK1 at the plasma membrane. BIK1 is a receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase(RLCK) belonging to the RLK family of proteins and mediates PAMP-triggered stomatal immunity. In turn, BIK1 phosphorylates XopR. Furthermore, XopR suppresses PAMP-triggered stomatal closure in transgenic Arabidopsis expressing XopR. In addition, XopR is able to associate with RLCKs other than BIK1. These results suggest that XopR likely suppresses plant immunity by targeting BIK1 and other RLCKs.

Interpretation of Rotation Curves of Spiral Galaxies in Modified Teleparallel Gravity

There is a significant difference between the calculation based on the theory of general relativity and observation of rotation curves of spiral galaxies. To describe this discrepancy, two distinct theories have been proposed so far： existence of dark matter and modification of underlying gravitational theory. In the absence of dark matter, it is assumed that the theory of general relativity on galactic scales needs to be modified. This letter is devoted to explaining this difference in a modified teleparMIeI gravity. We show that modified teleparallel gravity favors flatness of rotation curves of spiral galaxies much in the same way as observation shows.
