遗址资料整理点滴（一）——关于陶器统计表

本文结合自身的整理工作实践．在认识陶器统计意义的基础上．提出一些构想：陶器统计的核心是器形;它在排队和分期中,占有重要的地位。而质地、个体数量、纹饰等不同的侧面属性在统计中尽可能的与器形建立联系,是资料整理和相关研究中要面对的问题。作为遗物．那些侧面的属性本身就是依附于器形存在的,因此．统计既是某些侧面属性的分析．也应当是一种综合,这样有利于读者和研究者比较全面的使用陶器统计资料。本文尝试提出了一种既可拆分有可综合的陶器统计表方案;此外,对于不同时期的遗址陶器资料,由于各自特点不同,在条件许可的情况下,还提出了设计一些反映陶器群个性的统计表设想。     

党内民主是党的生命

江泽民同志在十六大报告中论述加强和改进党的建设问题时,提出了“党内民主是党的生命”这一深刻命题。这是对党的历史经验的一个很好的总结,为党的建设、特别是处在执政地位的党的建设指明了方向。 把党内民主视为党的生命,是基于对党的性质及其历史使命的深刻把握。我们党从诞生的那一天起,就是工人阶级的先锋队,以求得中国人民的彻底解放作为自己的职志,这是一个目标崇高、没有私利的党,一个追求真理、光明磊落的党,因而能够把民族中的优秀分子集合在

中国古代科学家整体状况统计研究

用统计学的方法,对中国古代科学家从时间、学科、职业、信仰、出身等角度进行研究,可从宏观上得出他们的整体状况。针对统计结果进行分析后,初步得出了形成这一状况的原因。为中国古代科学技术史的进一步研究,提供了一个可资参考的坐标。     

Vital Creativity: Exhibiting Beauty and Heritage in Material Culture

Museum exhibits are an important but often overlooked source of anthropological, folklore and decorative art analyses. Some exhibits are cross-cultural and focus on object types; others deal with the cultures of particular peoples. This review assesses two exhibit catalogues that deal with each of these two types: Gavin, Pierce, and Pleguezuelo's Cerámica y Cultura: The Story of Spanish and Mexican Mayólica deals with one art form and its development, and Griffith's Hecho a Mano: The Traditional Arts of Tucson's Mexican American Community documents the home arts of Mexican Americans in Tucson, Arizona during the 1990s.     

Impacts and Wider Impacts on Statistics

The article discusses impacts and wider impacts on statistics of the seminal 1969 Cliff-Ord article on the problem of spatial autocorrelation published in London Papers in Regional Science.     

Statistics of incoherent scatter multiparameter fits

A new statistical inversion method to estimate the errors in incoherent scatter measurements for a given set of ionospheric parameters is presented. The possibilities to determine the ion composition in a multiparameter fit are considered. The method can also be applied to estimate the requirements on the measurement of autocorrelation functions to find the minimum possible lag resolution and lag extent for a stable inversion solution of the plasma parameters, and the temperature interval for which a stable solution exists, with or without the zero lag data. The results are illustrated in the case of a multipulse code.
