Mysteries of Solar System Explained by WUM

E. Stone in the article “18 Mysteries and Unanswered Questions About Our Solar System. Little Astronomy” wrote: One of the great things about astronomy is that there is still so much out there for us to discover. There are so many unanswered questions and mysteries about the universe. There is always a puzzle to solve and that is part of beauty. Even in our own neighborhood, the Solar System, there are many questions we still have not been able to answer [1]. In the present paper, we explain the majority of these Mysteries and some other unexplained phenomena in the Solar System (SS) in frames of the developed Hypersphere World-Universe Model (WUM) [2].

“Capricaries”——A Combination of Two Mysteries

On August 26,2009,I had the opportunity to visit Jiangsu Flying Ocean Fish Co.,Ltd. Flying Ocean Fish is a garment factory with its own brand called "Capricaries." People are confused about this because "capricaries" is not an English word. In an attempt to discover the meaning behind the brand name,I interviewed CEO Yang Zhaoqun. A pioneer in the creation of independent brands,Yang had the foresight to realize the importance of stimulating domestic demand in the face of the international economic crisis.

Using Interactome Big Data to Crack Genetic Mysteries and Enhance Future Crop Breeding

The functional genes underlying phenotypic variation and their interactions represent“genetic mysteries”.Understanding and utilizing these genetic mysteries are key solutions for mitigating the current threats to agriculture posed by population growth and individual food preferences.Due to advances in highthroughput multi-omics technologies,we are stepping into an Interactome Big Data era that is certain to revolutionize genetic research.In this article,we provide a brief overview of current strategies to explore genetic mysteries.We then introduce the methods for constructing and analyzing the Interactome Big Data and summarize currently available interactome resources.Next,we discuss how Interactome Big Data can be used as a versatile tool to dissect genetic mysteries.We propose an integrated strategy that could revolutionize genetic research by combining Interactome Big Data with machine learning,which involves mining information hidden in Big Data to identify the genetic models or networks that control various traits,and also provide a detailed procedure for systematic dissection of genetic mysteries,Finally,we discuss three promising future breeding strategies utilizing the Interactome Big Data to improve crop yields and quality.

The Use of Chinese Supernatural Elements in van Gulik＇s Series Judge Dee Mysteries

上世纪中期,博学的荷兰汉学家罗伯特·汉斯·凡·古立克(高罗佩)深为中国古典公案小说所吸引,并受其人物、情节和结构的启发,写下了一系列探案小说(1959-1967),旨在引导西方读者认识一种在西方几乎不为人知的文学类型。在他看来,由于与西方侦探小说的鲜明惯例存在诸多差异,传统写法的中国公案小说无法吸引西方读者。凡·古立克概括了中西侦探小说的5大显著区别,并创作了自己的系列探案小说,试图尽可能地忠实于公案小说传统,但为了不使西方读者感到疏离,又对一些习见的中式特征(如超自然因素)做了省略或修改。本文通过比较作为这位荷兰汉学家研究起点的中国小说《狄公案》(成书于约1890年)和凡·古立克自己创作的狄公探案传奇,考察他是如何在不违背以现实主义为主的西方经典侦探小说形式的同时,加入了中国的超自然因素。

The Nest of Torquigener Albomaculosus:Fluid-Dynamic Aspects and Potential for Bio-Inspired Engineering

Torquigener albomaculosus,also known as the white-spotted pufferfish,is known for creating circular nests in the underwater sand as part of the mating ritual.The nests are built by the males to attract females through the nest’s impressive design and related ability to gather fine sand particles.As the fluid-dynamic processes associated with these unique nests are still almost completely unknown,in the present study,an analysis has been conducted to investigate how the geometric parameters related to the nest design influence the fluid velocity in its center.For this reason,a geometric model of the nest consisting of 24 channels,where each unit channel can be described by three strips of broken lines,has been introduced,and a multivariate analysis has been implemented to determine the relative weight of each considered parameter.In particular,the“optimal”combination of parameters has been obtained by means of an orthogonal design approach.We show that these bio-nest structures also display a potential for significant application in marine litter collection,or for use as a buffer against the waves in offshore areas.

Jesus Christ,a Man for Others and With Others

This article focuses on an important aspect of the Son of God and redeeemer of humanity,who became man in the incarnation.The study delves into the human dimension of Jesus Christ as a man for others and with others.His closeness to fellow men and women is striking.This closeness is accomplished through his pedagogical method by means of the stories(parables)he vividly narrated,as well as through the miracles he astonishingly carried out to help or heal others.Both parables and miracles lie at the basis of his proclamation of the Kingdom of God.Jesus was particularly close to those who were at the fringes of society.Jesus’social behaviour is also highlighted,with special reference to his especially unique style of table fellowship,going counter to the strict norms of his people.The climax of his being for others and with others is reached in his paschal mystery,namely his total self-offering in his passion,death and resurrection from the dead.

Alternate Reality of the Lady of Shalott

The Lady of Shalott is considered to be one of Alfred Lord Tennyson’s masterpieces.The poem conversely demonstrates art and life,the aesthetic and the political,are fully interwoven:the involvement in the social world which is symbolically the destination of the Lady in the poem.The Lady who is the emblem of such an artwork can be ascribed qualities,for instance,self-containment,objectified otherness,removal from the fluidity of life,and participation in a higher order of existence,for which it is autonomy.Kermode points out that“the Romantic artwork often identifies itself with an emblematic image of autonomy and femininity”,inextricably interlinked.Her mirror shows her only“Shadows of the world”.The Lady’s web flies“Out”and floats“wide”when she“turns round”with“that desire of making an impression upon another mind”,when she seeks to address Lancelot.The mirror reconnects the Lady’s art to the real world beyond her window.Though the artist is unable to see it during the process of production,her artistic web,once out in a wider space than the tower and freed from the loom,is a true representation of outward things,the actions,and events of Camelot.This paper examines that the traditional referentiality of Tennyson’s‘The Lady of Shalott’can be better understood by supplementing the poet’s medieval sources,of little more than tangential relevance to the poem,with Homeric influences.The poem is similar to a fairytale,however,I have given an alternate reality of the Lady of Shallot in my version of a fairytale,where the characters remain the same but the fairytale takes a happy ending rather than a tragic death.My version is different from Tennyson’s since I believe the lady deserves to be jovial.Sir Lancelot was unaware of her fascination and feelings for him,as she could hardly express her feelings due to her imprisonment.She is so taken by him that she stops her work and looks at Camelot,though she risks the mysterious curse.The mirror breaks and her web magically floats out of the window on its own.She realizes that she is cursed.

Two Christological Documents on Their Approaching 25th Anniversary: Dominus Iesus (2000) and Chapter Two of Novo Millennio Ineunte (2001)-Comparing and Contrasting Their Tone and Content

Within the span of five months during the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000,the Catholic Church published two documents focused on Jesus Christ:Dominus Iesus and Novo Millennio Ineunte(with emphasis in this article on its second chapter).Although in various instances,both documents converge and deal with the same subject,one can observe how the perspectives and attitudes expressed in both differ in various ways.Their aim is different because Dominus Iesus was issued to oppose certain erroneous positions in the context of theories of religious pluralism,while Novo Millennio Ineunte is a pastoral reflection on the fruits of the Jubilee and the state of the community of Christ’s faithful at the turn of the last century.This article seeks to address the content of the two documents,while highlighting the differences in their style and approach.
