The results showed that the germination energy, germination rate, germination index, root and seedling lengths, root and seedling diameters, root and seedling fresh masses, root and seedling dry masses, and seedling relative water content (RWC) decreased with the decrease of the osmotic potential of PEG 6000 solution. The contents of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA), and proline in seedling increased with the decrease of the osmotic potential of PEG 6000 solution. The activities of peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and glutathione reductase (GR) in seedling increased and then decreased with the decrease of osmotic potential of PEG 6000 solution. -0.1 MPa was the optimal osmotic potential of PEG 6000 solution simulated drought stress at germination stage for Job’s tears. The proline content and activities of POD and CAT were important mechanisms for the maintenance of drought resistance in Job’s tears seedling.展开更多

The dispersion equation of phase velocity is derived. The velocities of Love waves are calculated numerically as a function of kH and presented in a number of graphs, where k is the wave number, and H is the thickness of the layer. The case of Gibson＇s half-space is also considered. It is observed that the speed of Love waves is finite in the vicinity of the surface of the half-space and vanishes as the depth increases for a particular wave number. It is also observed that an increase in compressive initial stresses causes decreases of Love waves velocity for the same frequency, and the tensile initial stress of small magnitude in the half-space causes increase of the velocity.展开更多

The Christian gospel makes the ~ansition from the former to the latter state possible. The seven deadly sins--pride, envy, anger, sloth, avarice, gluttony, and lust--are disordered loves; the seven cardinal virtues--faith, hope, love, courage, justice, temperance, and prudence--are reordered loves. Since love is central in human experience---rooted in the heart--it is also central in moral formation and deformation. Love （or the lack thereof） is the key to understanding the nature and action of both human vice and virtue.展开更多

Amongst many worldly things, like materialism, struggle to survive in the highly competitive urban settings, people tend to consider the merits of cosmopolitanism more than anything else Curiously enough, Sir Philip Sidney＇s sonnets, though written in the 16th century and become milestones of the sonnet tradition in the English Renaissance which are applicable to today＇s global concern of environmentalism. When considered in the light of ecocriticism, Sidney＇s sonnets provide a suitable ground for the modem readers to reevaluate the current situation of the world we live in and the nature that we inherit from our ancestors. This paper aims to analyze some of Sidney＇s selected sonnets from Astrophil and Stella in the light of ecocritical approach to literary works.展开更多

Use the theory of Feminism to analyze it. The results confirms to be walking a fine line between critical self- insight and obsessive self- importance and insists that a lot of Elizabeth's own experiences can make the readers especially women learn to be stronger and more independent. Besides that the novel Eat, Pray, Love can have a heavy touch on the readers. People becomes more materialistic and always pursuit the worldly happiness in modern time. Eat, Pray,Love is also can make readers learn to respect other cultures. While the strengths of this novel are the unique format, the simple language styles which can make the readers more acceptable, the flexible use of foreign languages, and the cultural diversity.This novel also has weaknesses such as the viewpoint in subjective way and the plot in complicated way.展开更多
