On the Possible Cometary Nature of the Uchur Cosmic Body(Fall 3.08.1993)

An expeditionary study of the area of the alleged impact event that occurred on 3.08.1993 in the area of the Lower Konkuli River(southeast of the Aldan Highlands,Lurikan Range,Russia)was carried out.According to the materials of remote sensing,the places of collision with the earth of a cosmic body are determined.In the area of the impact of the shock wave on the Earth’s surface,peat samples were selected,the micro probe analysis of which showed the pres­ence of a cosmogenic substance in concentrations 6-8 times higher than the background.Silicate and magnetite micro spheres,native iron,moissanite,and carbon micro tubes coated with a film consisting of pure nickel were found.Of particular interest were the findings of specific Ni film micro structures that allow us to make an assumption about the cometary nature of the Uchur cosmic body.Most researchers associate the observed flights of fireballs with the sub­sequent fall of meteorites.Researchers are trying to find the massive body of the fallen space body.However,often,even after many years of searching,a massive cosmic body cannot be found.This happened when studying the site of the fall of the Tunguska cosmic body.In this case,it remains to be assumed that the cosmic body contained micro­scopic dust particles.The structure and composition of such particles can only be studied using microscopic research methods.When studying the Uchur cosmic body,the authors concluded that it could be of a cometary nature due to the findings of specific particles-thin films of pure nickel on the surface of plant remains of terrestrial origin.This hy­pothesis arose from the recent discovery of atomic nickel vapors in comets.

What is Mind,What is Consciousness,and Where This Resides

The main purpose of this paper is to respond to the questions what is mind and consciousness and where this resides.The answers are based on the frontline Informational Model of Human Body and Living Structures(IMHBLS),which shows that mind and consciousness can be described by the activity of the Informational System of the Human Body and Living Structures(ISHBLS),consisting of seven informational components,each of them with specific activity and functions,inter-correlated to support the immaterial/informational manifestation of the body expressed by mind and consciousness.The basic concept of matter-related and virtual information results as a consequence of the operability of the physics,chemistry,biologic,or mathematics laws,which actually act as informational operators,such processes are informationally driven and manifested finally as a“media-like functions”of mind and consciousness,on the“screen/display”of prefrontal cortex.The mind is therefore described as the capacity of every individual to access the data field of own life experience,where the thought acts as an informational operator,which can activate the required information from internal/external reality.Consciousness is the result of the info-representation of the explored reality,accumulated by the momentary connection,and compared/combined with the life experience,serving as judgment reference/criteria.The question is discussed in relation with the localization of consciousness,showing that this resides in the brain,as a result of the activity of ISHBLS.The discussion on the experimental evidences concerning the minimal basic components necessary and sufficient to sustain consciousness,compared with the results of the informational model,indicates the cortico-thalamus axis,in a full agreement each other.One of the basic findings is that the activation of consciousness is operated in two steps,one consisting in a feed-forward reception and another in feedback perception for recognition of the info-significance,which is fully supported by the recently reported experimental results.The phenomena of intuition,inspiration,premonition,“deja vue”,retrocausality,and intentionality are discussed.This model unifies the eastern and western concepts/models on consciousness and mind,explaining the energetic Yung/Yin Chinese model by YES/NO-informational Bit-type behavior,the Plato’s ideas/forms by“information”concept as a participating component of reality,Aristotle’s materialist view with matter structuration(assisted by information),and archaic model of the seven“chakras”at human,as vital informational centers connected with the body.

Geological suitability of natural sponge body for the construction of sponge city——a case study of Shuanghe Lake district in Zhengzhou airport zone

Natural and geological environmental conditions have an important impact on the planning and construction of sponge cities.This paper analyzes geological factors that influence the usage of natural sponge bodies,taking the Shuanghe lake district of Zhengzhou airport zone as an example.An evaluation system with seven factors has been established and the weights of these factors are determined using the analytic hierarchy process(AHP)method.Overlay analysis is then carried out on all factors using GIS to evaluate the geological suitability of the construction of the sponge city.The results show that geologically suitable area for city construction in Shuanghe lake district accounts for 12.3%,relatively suitable area accounts for 76.1%,and relatively unsuitable area accounts for 11.6%.For suitable and relatively suitable areas,we should make full use of the advantages of surface infiltration,vadose zone transportation and aquifer storage to build a sponge city infrastructure with geological engineering as the main component,supplemented by engineering measures such as surface water storage and drainage,and jointly establish a sustainable urban hydrological cycle.For less suitable areas,artificial rain and flood control works,such as roof garden,should be considered.The findings of this paper can serve as an important reference for sponge city planning and construction not only in the research area but also in other regions with similar geological conditions.

Nationality and Universality: Cultural Consciousness and Fusion of Horizons in Mo Yan’s Novels from an Intercultural Perspective

Within the structure of globalisation,the field of world culture faces challenges that are manifested in the decline of national culture and the crisis of homogeneity of world culture.In this case,world culture should be promoted as a viable path to prosperity and development if it is done on the basis of adhering to the higher consciousness of national culture,developing intercultural dialogue,with the intention forming a situation of mutual learning and promoting the fusion of horizons.The Chinese Culture,Qilu genetic code and native writing embody Mo Yan’s conscious adherence to national culture,his thorough knowledge of “Seeking Roots” and “Vanguard”,the fusion of national and international characteristics and the integration of his hometown and other countries.These show his enthusiasm and courage in launching intercultural dialogue and reaching towards the fusion of horizons.How to face cultural challenges under this changing world pattern?The successful experience of Mo Yan’s novels provides us with vivid examples.

The effects of stereotactic body radiotherapy on peripheral natural killer and CD3~+CD56~+ NKT-like cells in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

Background: Both natural killer(NK) and CD3+CD56+ natural killer T(NKT)-like cells play critical roles in the antitumor response. This study aimed to explore the effects of stereotactic body radiotherapy(SBRT) on peripheral NK and NKT-like cells in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), and to identify possible surface markers on these cells that correlate with the prognosis. Methods: Twenty-five HCC patients were prospectively enrolled in our study, and 10 healthy individuals were served as healthy controls. Flow cytometry was used to determine the counts and the percentages of peripheral NK and NKT-like cells, cells with certain receptors, and cells with intracellular interferon-γand TNF-α secretion at different time points, including time points of prior to SBRT, at post-SBRT, and 3-month and 6-month after treatment. The Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test was applied for survival analysis. Results: The peripheral NKT-like cells was increased at post-SBRT. Meanwhile, elevated levels of inhibitory receptors and reduced levels of activating receptors of NK cells were also observed in NK cells at post-SBRT, but the levels was not significantly different at 3-month and 6-month as compared with the baseline levels. Lower percentage of NKp30+ NK cells before SBRT and higher percentage of CD158b + NK cells after SBRT were associated with poor progression-free survival. In addition, higher percentage of CD3+CD56+ NKT-like cells was associated with a higher overall survival rate in HCC patients. Conclusions: SBRT has an apparent effect on both peripheral NK and CD3+ CD56+ NKT-like cells. Lower percentage of NKp30 + NK cells before SBRT and higher percentage of CD158b + NK cells after SBRT are correlated with poor patients' PFS. Higher percentage of CD3+ CD56+ NKT-like cells is associated with higher OS in HCC patients.

Influence of Additional Feeding of Sucrose Goat Females on Indicators of Natural Resistance of the Body and Productivity of Kids

The traditional way of breeding pastured animals is year-round pasture keeping without any additional fertilizing. Recently, among adult animals and the resulting offspring, a large number of individuals with low levels of natural resistance have begun to appear, which negatively affects the productivity of adults, and growth and development, as well as the safety of the resulting offspring. In this regard, the aim of the study was to study the effects of full-fledged feeding of females during pregnancy on the level of natural resistance of the received goats. To achieve this goal, a number of modern physiological and biochemical research methods were used. According to the results obtained, it was established that with the organization of full-fledged feeding, the period of suckling of the goat develops normally and the resulting baby goats are born with increased levels of natural resistance and more massive. In the goats of the experimental group, these advantages persist steadily until the age of one year, and to a certain extent ensure the normal preservation of the received goats and their growth and development. This makes it possible for farmers to fatten goats unused in breeding from 8 - 9 months of age and donate them for meat as an additional economic supplement to production.

Ishmael’s Ecological Consciousness as Reflected in Moby-Dick

In American Romanticism,Herman Melville's Moby-Dick is an encyclopedic classic of the whaling industry.Based on the theory of ecocriticism,this thesis tries to explore Ishmael’s respect and love for nature by analyzing and judging from what he says,in the novel.Ishmael’s beautiful picture of the sea and amazing description of different kinds of whales let the reader easily relate him to a person with enough intelligence to have an ecological awareness.Ishmael’s guilty feeling of their whaling adds to his important role as a nature lover.Then the paper turns to how Ishmaels’attitude to nature affect his life.Finally,the paper draws the conclusion that human beings should love and respect nature and accept the ecological law of nature,however harsh we find it.Only in this way can we coexist with nature.

Consciousness and Near-Death Experiences: Access to a Known World

Near-death or death-like experiences are a natural, albeit uncommon, phenomenon due to the temporary and reversible decoupling or dissociation of the Psychosoma from its material counterpart, the physical body. Indeed, these “psychophysical events” are fundamental in clinical conditions that lead to unconsciousness in individuals declared clinically dead or who have come very close to physical death. In addition, Consciousness is fundamental in the occurrence of these experiences. In fact, Consciousness, a higher order field, is the entity that vibrationally dissociates from the physical body and is also the protagonist of the entire chain of events of near-death experiences, as well as out-of-body experiences. Undoubtedly, matter is a creation of the Universal Intelligent Principle and the primary cause of all things. Thus, Consciousness is the basis of all existence, of primordial reality. Vehicle of manifestation of Consciousness, the Psychosoma is a morphogenetic, vaporous, translucent, luminous body which is also made up of all organs, including the immaterial brain [mind] and the other electromagnetic systems of the human body. The Psychosoma is, therefore, the connection bridge between Consciousness, a complex subtle field, non-electromagnetic, responsible for all phenomena of near-death experiences in connection with the dense field of gross matter, the physical body. For example, the Consciousness is the one who sees, feels pain and welcomes its family members on the verge of death during the near-death experience in any vibrational dimension, even being perceived by the Psychosoma. Here it is important to remember that dimension is not a place. It’s a vibration. It’s a frequency. The main objective of this article is to approach innovative and comprehensive concepts about the role of Consciousness in near-death experiences as well as to try to overcome limiting paradigms that prevents the progress of science. In addition, concepts based on quantum holography and information theory were raised here. Following this reasoning, I start with the formulation of a hypothesis about the role of Consciousness in near-death and out-of-body experiences. Thus, we propose a new and unique approach to Consciousness in order to investigate the role of Mind and its relationship with life and death. In this way, we intend to introduce new concepts for discussion and not give the last word to the currently unanswered questions of Consciousness regarding its interaction with the environment;with death and life and finally with respect to its origin. Finally, a selective bibliographic research was carried out in English language databases with the purpose of making the study design compatible, which presents specific concepts of a subject that had been little studied until then.

再论汉代人的国家意识

汉代人的国家意识在带有“公”属性的同时,其一家一姓“皇帝专属”的“私”属性十分浓厚。虽然总体来看,汉代人的强国与爱国意识得到了空前强化,但汉代人的国家意识也具有多层次性、差异性和可变性。理性看待汉代人的国家意识,可为现今中国真正有效、稳固、积极、健康的群体爱国意识的形成及爱国行为的产生提供有价值的历史启示。

基于天然源面波地形校正的堰塞体探测

为提高堰塞体的天然源面波探测成果中面波速度值的准确性及计算面波速度记录点空间位置,改变以往处理模式中假定各检波器在同一高程的前提,在面波数据处理中加入台阵中各检波器的高程值,并采用最小二乘法计算各测点的面波速度记录点空间位置,进行地形校正处理,从而提高面波速度值和面波速度记录点空间位置的准确性。将此天然源面波地形校正处理技术应用于唐家山、叠溪、松坪沟等堰塞体探测中,结果表明:经地形校正处理后,探测平均误差由8.8%降低至4.3%,并使现场检波器台阵布置灵活性提高,提升了探测效率。在目前没有自带地形处理功能的面波处理软件情况下,该技术实现了对面波数据处理结果的地形校正,提高了面波勘探精度。

Two examples are simulated with this numerical method and compared with the experimental results. The results of the numerical solutions are consistent with the experimental results. It shows that the numerical method is valid and feasible.

TRAGIC CONSCIOUSNESS, NATURAL LANGUAGE AND MODERN SPIRIT OF THE

Tragic consciousness, which originated in childhood, is complex compassion based on strong self-consciousness. After being moralized, tragic consciousness presents the dichotomy of good and evil, which has not only profoundly affected the formation of natural language, but also cradled the theory of natural law and religious spirit. Modem jurisprudence attempts to get rid of the shackles of classics and Christian humanism, to shape the autonomous and self-consistent image of law with the de lege lata as center. However, it is difficult for modem jurisprudence to surpass the natural language which rooted in tragic consciousness, and impossible to neglect or deny the independent value of the human. The inherent conflict within the rule of law makes ironically a tragedy, especially in the context of contemporary China.

脑机接口替代身体“限度”的哲学审视

脑机接口的出现提供了替代身体的可能性,当下鲜有对其替代“限度”的哲学考察。首先,当下脑机接口主要涉及对“自然身体”感知和能动性的替代,但脑机接口不具备身体感知的“精准度”以及输出活动的“顺畅度”,因此这种替代是有限的。其次,身体现象学将身体作为揭示主体存在境况的关键概念,此种“泛化身体观”把握了身体的认知特征,脑机接口则忽视了此种认知功能,从而导致替代的有限性。最后,脑机接口在感知、认知和能动性上的替代限度,决定了它不是对人类以及身体活动的“模仿”和“复制”,这为未来脑机接口发展提供了新的启示。
