Rebuilding the Ancestral Temple and Hosting Daluo Heaven and Earth Prayer and Enlightenment Ceremony

Kuo,Yeh-Tzu founded Taiwan’s Sung Shan Tsu Huei Temple in 1970.She organized more than 200 worshipers as a group named“Taiwan Tsu Huei Temple Queen Mother of the West Delegation to China to Worship at the Ancestral Temples”in 1990.At that time,the temple building of the Queen Mother Palace in Huishan of Gansu Province was in disrepair,and Temple Master Kuo,Yeh-Tzu made a vow to rebuild it.Rebuilding the ancestral temple began in 1992 and was completed in 1994.It was the first case of a Taiwan temple financing the rebuilding of a far-away Queen Mother Palace with its own donations.In addition,Sung Shan Tsu Huei Temple celebrated its 45th anniversary and hosted Yiwei Yuanheng Lizhen Daluo Tiandi Qingjiao(Momentous and Fortuitous Heaven and Earth Prayer Ceremony)in 2015.This is the most important and the grandest blessing ceremony of Taoism,a rare event for Taoism locally and abroad during this century.Those sacred rituals were replete with unprecedented grand wishes to propagate the belief in Queen Mother of the West.Stopping at nothing,Queen Mother’s love never ceases.

From the Far Side of the Moon: Delay/DisruptionTolerant Networking Communications via Lunar Satellites

Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Networking(DTN) originated from research on Interplanetary Internet and still today space applications are the most important application field and research stimulus. This paper investigates DTN communications between the Earth and the far side of the Moon, by means of a lunar orbiter acting as relay. After an introductory part, the paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the DTN performance that can be achieved on the identified communication scenario. The focus is on the evaluation of the stateof-the-art ability of Interplanetary Overlay Network(ION), the NASA DTN implementation of Bundle Protocol(BP) and Contact Graph Routing(CGR), to meet the many challenges of the space communication scenario investigated(and more generally of a future interplaynetary Internet): intermittent links, network partitioning, scarce bandwidth, long delays, dynamic routing, handling of high priority and emergency traffic, interoperability issues. A study of security threats and Bundle Security Protocol(BSP) countermeasures complete the work.The many results provided, confirm the essential role of DTN in future space communications.

Beam Position and Beam Hopping Design for LEO Satellite Communications

The numbers of beam positions(BPs)and time slots for beam hopping(BH)dominate the latency of LEO satellite communications.Aiming at minimizing the number of BPs subject to a predefined requirement on the radius of BP,a low-complexity user density-based BP design scheme is proposed,where the original problem is decomposed into two subproblems,with the first one to find the sparsest user and the second one to determine the corresponding best BP.In particular,for the second subproblem,a user selection and smallest BP radius algorithm is proposed,where the nearby users are sequentially selected until the constraint of the given BP radius is no longer satisfied.These two subproblems are iteratively solved until all the users are selected.To further reduce the BP radius,a duplicated user removal algorithm is proposed to decrease the number of the users covered by two or more BPs.Aiming at minimizing the number of time slots subject to the no co-channel interference(CCI)constraint and the traffic demand constraint,a low-complexity CCI-free BH design scheme is proposed,where the BPs having difficulty in satisfying the constraints are considered to be illuminated in priory.Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.

Retrieval of Outgoing Longwave Radiation from COMS Narrowband Infrared Imagery

Hourly outgoing longwave radiation （OLR） from the geostationary satellite Communication Oceanography Meteorological Satellite （COMS） has been retrieved since June 2010.The COMS OLR retrieval algorithms are based on regression analyses of radiative transfer simulations for spectral functions of COMS infrared channels.This study documents the accuracies of OLRs for future climate applications by making an intercomparison of four OLRs from one single-channel algorithm （OLR12.0 using the 12.0 μm channel） and three multiple-channel algorithms （OLR10.8＋12.0 using the 10.8 and 12.0 pm channels; OLR6.7＋10.8 using the 6.7 and 10.8 μm channels; and OLRAll using the 6.7,10.8,and 12.0 μm channels）.The COMS OLRs from these algorithms were validated with direct measurements of OLR from a broadband radiometer of the Clouds and Earth＇s Radiant Energy System （CERES） over the full COMS field of view [roughly （50°S-50°N,70°-170°E）] during April 2011.Validation results show that the root-mean-square errors of COMS OLRs are 5-7 W m-2,which indicates good agreement with CERES OLR over the vast domain.OLR6.7＋10.8 and OLRAll have much smaller errors （～ 6 W m-2） than OLR12.0 and OLR10.8＋12.0 （～ 8 W m-2）.Moreover,the small errors of OLR6.7＋10.8 and OLRAll are systematic and can be readily reduced through additional mean bias correction and/or radiance calibration.These results indicate a noteworthy role of the 6.7 μm water vapor absorption channel in improving the accuracy of the OLRs.The dependence of the accuracy of COMS OLRs on various surface,atmospheric,and observational conditions is also discussed.

Distributed cooperative task planning algorithm for multiple satellites in delayed communication environment

Multiple earth observing satellites need to communicate with each other to observe plenty of targets on the Earth together. The factors, such as external interference, result in satellite information interaction delays, which is unable to ensure the integrity and timeliness of the information on decision making for satellites. And the optimization of the planning result is affected. Therefore, the effect of communication delay is considered during the multi-satel ite coordinating process. For this problem, firstly, a distributed cooperative optimization problem for multiple satellites in the delayed communication environment is formulized. Secondly, based on both the analysis of the temporal sequence of tasks in a single satellite and the dynamically decoupled characteristics of the multi-satellite system, the environment information of multi-satellite distributed cooperative optimization is constructed on the basis of the directed acyclic graph（DAG）. Then, both a cooperative optimization decision making framework and a model are built according to the decentralized partial observable Markov decision process（DEC-POMDP）. After that, a satellite coordinating strategy aimed at different conditions of communication delay is mainly analyzed, and a unified processing strategy on communication delay is designed. An approximate cooperative optimization algorithm based on simulated annealing is proposed. Finally, the effectiveness and robustness of the method presented in this paper are verified via the simulation.

Determining which country’s church, which year it opened, and what kind of a private girls’ school it was would be nearly impossible. But this should not stop

秦汉畤祭遗址出土玉人功用研究

目前发现秦汉畤祭遗址的祭祀坑内,多是男女玉人一对与玉琮组合,应是畤祭礼仪最主要的祭祀形式。文章认为玉琮象征天圆地方,是祭天礼地的祭器。周秦汉时期奉行“以天为父,以地为母”之信仰,男女玉人与琮组合用于祭祀,正符合天为阳,地为阴,以天为父,以地为母的认知。并由此推断,男女玉人应分别是受祭的天神和地神之神主,用驷马车载之前往雍地进行畤祭之礼。西汉畤祭仍然继续沿用秦故礼仪,此正是由春秋至西汉数百年间,畤祭所用男女玉人造型及功用基本相同的缘由所在。

天圆地方时空观及其“取象”逻辑

立象为中国古代典籍的重要词语之一。“象”是天人相参、王道政治的核心观念,六经皆可包括于象之中。不惟如此,我国战国时期的文学深于比兴,盖因其深于取象之故。由此说来,取象观实乃华夏文化的根本思维方式。“天圆地方”是人类历史上最早出现的宇宙观之一,是我国古代关于天地形状的一种认识,是中国古人宇宙论的基本观念。天圆地方观念以及其附属的四象二十八宿、分野观等乃是其取象观选择的必然结果。基于取象观发展出来的,是华夏先民独特的时空观,这套时空观又影响了华夏民族的生活方式,从而使其看待万物的眼光与现代科学时空观有所不同。

文化认同在道教中国化中的意义--以净明忠孝道为例

以“天地君亲师”为代表的文化认同是凝聚民族共同体的精神力量,在道教中国化这一时代命题中具有重要意义。道教是孕育并生长于中国的宗教,因富含传统文化的元素,彰显出鲜明的本土文化特征。以发轫于江南地区(以江西为核心区域)的净明忠孝道为例,它从前身的民间信仰许逊崇拜到后世跻身制度性宗教的长期发展过程中,皆与传统文化水乳交融、密不可分。净明道将中国传统观念“天地君亲师”全面融摄吸收,以之作为自己义理建构、教团组织建设、道脉赓续、祭祀圈扩展的重要支撑和文化力量。净明道至今鲜活的宗教实践,祭祀教祖许逊绵延的庙会香火,均表明文化认同是道教存续与发展的关键因素,对道教中国化这一时代课题具有重要的启示和借鉴意义,值得进行深入探讨。

开阖枢理论及其在藏象学说中的运用

“开阖枢”理论出自《素问·阴阳离合论篇》。从空间角度来看,开阖为天地相离、相合的过程,枢则为开阖之始与归,对开阖同时有约束、促进作用。从时间角度来看,开阖枢是阴阳二气各自的生长收藏趋势变化。将开阖枢理论应用于具体的藏象学说中,十二脏腑依其三阴三阳属性可分别归属为阴分、阳分之开阖枢,形成“开阖两两相配”与“阴枢自配、阳枢自配”的生理功能协同框架,即肝、肺协同,脾、心包协同,大肠、膀胱协同,胃、小肠协同,心、肾协同,胆、三焦协同,共计6种协同关系。
