Museum architecture as spatial storytelling of historical time： Manifesting a primary example of Jewish space in Yad Vashem Holocaust History Museum

Museums commonly adopt storytelling in their interpretive framework by use of audiovisual techniques to convey the meanings contained within artifacts. In addition to audiovisual mediation, this study demonstrates the idea that museum architecture itself can also be re,larded as a medium of spatial storytelling, specifically of historical time, which is manifested spatially and cognitively for museum visitors. The Yad Vashem Holocaust History Museum （YVHHM） in Jerusalem is considered a spatial storytelling tool that successfully establishes an architectural dimension and thus displays, reveals, and interprets historical time during the Holocaust. The research method of this study is drawn from a case study of YVHHM and consists of a Literature review of schotarship in museum studies about artifacts and exhibition techniques of storytelling. The study concludes that the architectural space and landscape of YVHHM create a primary example of Jewish space and its specific engaeements with historical time by use of spatial layout and circulation, spatial form and symbolization, and spatial qualities of lighting and material. These components construct a tangjble, sacred, and cultural artifact; such artifact inherits, preserves, and records Yad Vashem, Modern Jerusalem, and the Nation of Israel and is an ideal physical and spiritual ＂home＂ for Jewish people worldwide.

A Survey of Time Series Data Visualization Methods

In the era of big data,the general public is more likely to access big data,but they wouldn’t like to analyze the data.Therefore,the traditional data visualization with certain professionalism is not easy to be accepted by the general public living in the fast pace.Under this background,a new general visualization method for dynamic time series data emerges as the times require.Time series data visualization organizes abstract and hard-to-understand data into a form that is easily understood by the public.This method integrates data visualization into short videos,which is more in line with the way people get information in modern fast-paced lifestyles.The modular approach also facilitates public participation in production.This paper summarizes the dynamic visualization methods of time series data ranking,studies the relevant literature,shows its value and existing problems,and gives corresponding suggestions and future research prospects.

THE SEQUENCE OF PALEOENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES SINCE ABOUT 4KA B.P., RECORDED BY NIYA SECTION IN SOUTHERN MARGIN OF TARIM BASIN

Through synthetic researches of multi-index geological records of Niya section, which are of high resolution in southern margin of Tarim Basin, this paper has reconstructed the sequences of paleoclimate in this region during historical times (since about 4000a B.P.). During the last 4000 years, the area has experienced alternations of relative cold-moisture and relative warm-dry periods. Three evident cold-moisture periods and three warm-dry periods are identifing. The study shows that the human activities have an intimate relation with the evolution of paleoclimate in the southern Xinjiang. Paleoclimate has played very important role in influencing human being′s agricultural activities.

Historical Responsibility and Great Trust of the Times——Review and Outlook of 60 Years of Integrative Medicine Clinical Sciences
