In addition, he organized his work fully with a large amount of information the public concerned and well-arranged them into the wonderful story.The protagonists of the book, Robert Langdon, the symbologist from Harvard and Sophie Neveu, the decode expert (The curator's granddaughter) have to solve the complicated secret by gradually investigating the strange codes and meet a series of dangerous situations. They find that what they're looking for may be a shocking secret while they solve the codes progressively during the fierce struggle with the mystery manipulator. The secret is the Holy Grail, which the Church tends to hide forever because it will destroy the faith.Therefore, this thesis will analyze the symbolic significance of Holy Grail in the book and the arguments on it against the author's viewpoint by observing related religious figures, religious phenomenon and religious organizations.展开更多

These sediments represent the oldest strata of the ？ysogóry Unit, deposited on the edge of the East European Craton（Baltica）. Non-branched, ribbon-like and thread-like cyanobacteria trichomes exhibit morphological similarities to families Nostocaceae and Oscillatoriaceae. Cells assembled in rounded to irregular clusters of monospecific agglomerations represent multicellular algal coenobia, attributed to the family Scenedesmaceae. The co-occurrence of acritarchs belonging to species as Eliasum llaniscum, Cristallinium ovillense and Estiastra minima indicates that the studied material corresponds to the lower Middle Cambrian. Deposition of the PMSF took place in shallow marine environment, influenced by periodical freshwater inputs. The varying degree of coloration of organic-walled microfossils is interpreted in this study as factor indication of possible different source of their derivation. Dark brown walls of cells assembled in algal coenobia might have sustained previous humification in humid, terrestrial environments, which preceded their river transport into the sea together with nutrients, causing occasional blooms of cyanobacteria in the coastal environment and the final deposition of both groups of organisms in marine deposits.展开更多

Indicating that the methodology is wrong, the author will suggest an alternative to solve its problem. In the body, the author will introduce the paranormal phenomena focusing on the descending of the Holy Spirit by the Victor on NRMs in Korea. The author will speak of the differences between Aura and the light of the Holy Spirit using some new methodologies of participant observation by film photo-graphing and interviewing testimonies from fieldwork. Furthermore the author attempted to research scientifically how the light of life emitted from the Victor influences humanity and all things. The author will tell the theory of bio scientific and biblical salvation and immortality based on somatic. This paper will contribute in revealing the invisible God and the Holy Spirit to be physically seen.展开更多

Donne＇s works are better understood through the optic of Biblical knowledge, the backdrop of God＇s revelation of Himself. A poet whose heart is kindled by the Spirit of his Maker and whose mind is illumined by His Word recognizes a much deeper sense of transcendent reality. As Donne uses the most potent but intimate of words to express his interaction with God, his sonnets ground the sacred. In their fluctuating moods, the sonnets reverberate as radically varied experiences of God. Grand theological truths are translated into personal and passionate encounter with God.展开更多

The percentage of both carbon monoxide （CO） and nitrogen dioxide （NO2） had significantly increased （p 〈 0.05-0.005）. The peak levels of these air pollutants were between 13：15-13：20 during Fridays. The increase in the emission of these exhausted gases was concomitant with the significant decrease （p 〈 0.05） in oxygen （02） levels but the latter recovered its levels after 13：20 hours. The arithmetic total mean density of vehicle per minute （vpm） at Salam Road, the busiest road of Al-Madinah, during hours （07：00-09：00）, （13：00-15：00） and （17：00-19：00） of both Friday and Saturdays respectively were （8/45, 16/40 and 36/43）. The increase in air pollution has been attributed to a dramatic increase in number of public cars use the car parks during these times, the consequent congestion at entries, the excess or/and poor consumption of fuels being utilized and the inadequate ventilation.展开更多

This paper utilizes Northrop Frye’s mythic archetypal criticism theory to study the play’s embodiment of the biblical archetypal model. Previous studies have only dealt with one aspect of the biblical archetype in The Tempest. This essay discusses that the characters, structure, plot, and imagery of The Tempest can all find the archetypes in The Holy Bible. It is found that the play is the Scriptures’ double to some extent, through which Shakespeare wants to spread biblical values such as morality and fraternity.展开更多
