马歇尔出使中国与战后中、美、苏关系

从1945年12月至1947年1月,马歇尔作为美国总统杜鲁门的私人代表,受总统的委托调解国共两党的谈判。华盛顿官方宣布,马歇尔的使命是和解对立的双方、停止中国已开始的内战。 众所周知,马歇尔的调解使命没有成功,国共两党之间没能达成妥协。1947年1月,马歇尔返回华盛顿,被任命为美国国务卿。     

午夜妙趣

这张多次曝光而成的照片中．一连串的太阳点缀着夜空。极地探险家唐纳德·B·麦克米伦1947年组织了一支格陵兰探险队,该图摄影师小拉尔夫·B·哈伯德即是成员之一．他讲解道：“为了拍下这张照片,我把照相机架在避风港附近一个居高临下的位置,与北极点的纬度差大约是11．5度．镜头对准北方。     

上海：中国过去与未来的交汇之外

下雨的时候,数百万骑自行车的行人穿上了黄色、蓝色或红色的雨披,整座城市被柔软、湿润的色彩淹没。街道变成了镜子,映照出路边梧桐树闪着微光的模样——我想,第一次来上海的最佳时机可能莫过于此吧。     

Revisiting the 1981 Nobel Prize to Roger Sperry, David Hubel, and Torsten Wiesel on the occasion of the centennial of the Prize to Golgi and Cajal

In 1981 the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology was awarded to Roger Sperry for his work on the functional specialization of the cerebral hemispheres, and to David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel for their work on information processing in the visual system. The present paper points to some important links between the work of Sperry and that of Hubel and Wiesel and to their influences on neuroscience in the best tradition going back to Cajal.     

人类最早出现在东北亚高纬度地区的新证据

<正>确定早期人类扩散到亚洲的时间是人类演化研究的中心课题之一。在华北泥河湾盆地马圈沟湖相沉积剖面发掘出四层无可争议的石器层。本项研究的磁性地层学结果表明,这四层石器层的年龄介于Olduvai极性亚时和Cobb Mountain事件之间的近34万年时间间隔内。层位最低的旧石器的年龄约1.66Myr,代表了东亚地区利用石器加工动物遗骨     

Fashion, time and the consumption of a Renaissance man in Germany: the costume book of Matthaus Schwarz of Augsburg, 1496-1564

This article uses the perspective of cultural anthropology to consider the construction of an early modern perception of time and its relation to the dress and personal consumption of a male subject. It focuses on a costume book from the Renaissance compiled by Matthäus Schwarz, a member of the bourgeoisie, who lived in Augsburg from 1496 to 1574. The book contains a collection of 137 drawings, portraying Schwarz’s personal choice of dress. It is also an account of Schwarz’s life, beginning with his parents, then covering his life–stages from birth to old age. The relationships between body and dress and between the male subject and the world run as a major thread through the book. This article shows how closely connected Schwarz’s body is with the life of commodities (dress) and consumption. The life–story of this Renaissance man is expressed in terms of changing fashions, which act as his subjective measure of time.     

From photography to cinematography: recording movement and gait in a neurological context

The major challenge of photography has been freezing movement, to transform it into a fixed image or series of images. Very soon, photographers became interested in movement itself and tried to use photography as a tool to analyze movement. At the early stages, physicians interested in movement, perhaps surprisingly, made important technical contributions. Mécanisme de la physionomie humaine, by Duchenne, the first book with physiological experiments illustrated by photographs, is a landmark in this historical development. At the Salpêtrière, thanks to Charcot, photography officially entered clinical neurology. Medical journals with photographs were actively developed by Bourneville. Londe established a clinical photographic laboratory and published the first book on medical photography. The study of animal and human movement by Muybridge and Marey in the 1880s led to chronophotography and later cinematography. Clinicians such as Dercum and Richer took advantage of these new techniques to study pathological movement and gait in neurological diseases.     

中国早期人造蓝色颜料──硅酸铜钡

鉴定出在中国汉代（208Bc－220AD彩陶器上的一种人工生产的矿物──硅酸铜钡（BaCuSi_4O_(10)）,并观察到这个矿物是属于我国战国（475-221BC）或汉代的八面棒的一个主要成分。这个人造矿物迄今还未作为古代中国颜料被报道过。
