Application of clan member signal method in structural damage detection

It is well known that in most cases, a reference is necessary for structural health diagnosis, and it is very difficult to obtain such a reference for a given structure. In this paper, a clan member signal method （CMSM） is proposed for use in structures consisting of groups （or clans） that have the same geometry, i.e., the same cross section and length, and identical boundary conditions. It is expected that signals measured on any undamaged member in a clan after an event could be used as a reference for any other members in the clan. To verify the applicability of the proposed method, a steel truss model is tested and the results show that the CMSM is very effective in detecting local damage in structures composed of identical slender members.

Study on Spatial Structure of Traditional Villages from the Perspective of Clanism

"China's deep-rooted family culture and the resulting family spirit is one of the basic characteristics of Chinese society that differs from western society," said by Chinese sociologist Fei Xiaotong. German sociologist Max Weber defi nes Chinese society as "family structure society"[1]. And sociologist Fei Zhengqing believes that the villages in China are organized by families. In sociological studies, the traditional villages are divided into three types: single-clan villages with only one dominating family, main-clan villages which are mainly composed of several families, and multi-clan villages where some coequal families live together[2]. The authors believe that traditional villages are organized social communities with kinship as a link. They are products of the family system. There is a close connection between a village's family composition and its space construction. Single-clan village is an introverted spatial organization mode entirely based on kinship, ancestral hall is located in the center and the whole spatial structure grows toward it. Main-clan village is a decentralized family aggregate based on the ties of blood as well as region. And the organization of its village space depends on temples and pavilions where families enshrine and worship ancestors and gods. It owns obvious features of collage and collaboration. M ulticlan village is a collaborative and extroverted complex spatial system led by relationship of colleagues, where large public buildings are taken as the core to organize commercial activities. Its form is similar to the form of small towns. Taking sociological term "family" as the starting point and cases of national historic cultural villages including Hong Village, Zhuge Village, Zoumatang Village, Suzhuang Village and Guoyu Village into further study, this article analyses the correlation between kinship composition and spatial form of villages, tries to reveal the essential structure of traditional space of villages and to provide a new perspective on spatial study as well as basis for preservation of traditional villages.

The power of informal institutions:The impact of clan culture on the depression of the elderly in rural China

Exploration of ways to improve the subjective welfare of residents is an important area of current academic research.Using data from the China Family Panel Studies survey conducted in 2010,this paper investigated the impact of clan culture on the mental health of elderly people in rural China.The results demonstrated that clan culture can significantly decrease the depression score of the rural elderly.Further,there was no gender difference with respect to the impact of clan culture on the depression score of the elderly.At the same time,the positive effects of clan culture on the depression score of the elderly have gradually weakened with economic development.Exploration of the mechanisms involved indicated that in areas with stronger clan culture,older people receive more social support.This study enriches our understanding of the impact of informal institutions on the welfare of rural residents.At the same time,it can also provide a certain decisionmaking reference for the government to formulate relative poverty relief strategies in a new stage of poverty alleviation.

Solving Linear Systems via Composition of their Clans

The decomposition technique for linear system solution is proposed. This technique may be combined with any known method of linear system solution. An essential acceleration of computations is obtained. Methods of linear system solution depend on the set of numbers used. For integer and especially for natural numbers all the known methods are hard enough. In this case the decomposition technique described allows the exponential acceleration of computations.

The Application of CLAN on Shared and Unique Words Between Leveled Storybooks

The present study aimed to investigate the application of the CLAN （Computerized Language Analysis） program in the CHILDES （Child Language Data Exchange System） on shared and unique words between storybooks. Sixty sixth-grade Chinese-speaking children at an elementary school in Taipei City were recruited. Forty-four three-level of storybooks from Kizclub were collected and analyzed. Fifteen minutes reading instruction was followed by the use of CLAN on storybooks for 25 minutes. Children were given written and spoken vocabulary tests after each cluster of storybook reading period. There were three main findings of the study. First, young EFL （English as a Foreign Language） learners＇ word learning was enhanced through multiple exposures to the shared and unique words from the storybooks. Second, word instruction in isolation prompted written and spoken word learning beyond word instruction in context and repeated reading. Third, the results had pedagogical implications on the value and feasibility of language teaching with storybooks in promoting EFL students＇ word learning by using CLAN, and the limitations of the study were provided.

论方学渐对王学的修正及其对桐城方氏家族文化的影响

晚明王学末流将王阳明“心体无善恶之说”导向两个路径:一是与释氏空观合流,使士人摆落世事,消解入世热情;二是很多士人将该学说,作为纵情肆欲、不讲是非道德之借口。方学渐学术思想总体是心学立场,但他又是王学修正派。他坚持心体至善说,反对王阳明、王畿“无善无恶心之体”说,其目的是为了纯正社会风俗,维护儒家礼教。他不轻言本体,主张上达即在下学之中,推崇庸德庸言之践履,是王门中的务实派。他主张以道问学辅助尊德性,对王学末流之反知主义是一个纠正。这些思想特点,对桐城方氏族人推尊忠孝节义、重视知识教育都有很大影响,从而形成一种家族风气,成为后世方氏族人立身和写作的灵魂。

汉魏六朝北地傅氏籍贯考察——以《宋书·傅弘之传》的载述为中心

魏晋南北朝是一个特殊的时代,关于世族籍贯的认定,不能只是简单地考察地理沿革和家族迁徙等表层问题,而应综合考量家族认同、国家认同、历史认同等诸多层面的历史信息。北地傅氏虽然自汉末以来寄寓关中冯翊境内,此后又流寓江南,但其姓望所系与文化根脉仍在河陇地区(义渠、灵州、泥阳)。其亦文亦武、刚直尚气的家族风尚,正是秦汉以来河陇地区风声气俗的本色呈现。如果将汉末以来北地傅氏的籍贯确定在今陕西耀县境内,不仅与北地傅氏家族兴起于河陇边塞、流离迁徙中仍然情系河陇故土的历史事实不符,而且与门阀制度背景下“寄寓他所”“仍冠旧邦”的时代风气不合,显然不是合理公允的结论。

我们可以这样读族谱

濑川昌久通过对新界W氏族谱中最“枯燥乏味至极”的“个人生死等人事信息”的研究,提出了一些接近于族谱学纲领级别的“根本性问题”:“人们在记录族谱内容这件事上发现了什么意义?……被持续记录的构成了所记内容的各种信息具有何种价值?人们如何从族谱中发现宗族?”他“希望通过解释族谱究竟是什么文献,人们记录族谱的目的是什么这类问题,阐明族谱编纂主体以及与成为记录对象的人们关于时间的推移和超越时间的持续性所具有的非显性意识。”日本人类学家的问题意识和研究方式,是从族谱中看到宗族的实态,使族谱研究回归族谱本身的一次重要实践,值得中国族谱阅读者和研究者高度重视。
