Luminescence age constraints on palaeo-earthquake events along the lingwu fault in the Yinchuan Basin,China

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating was applied to sediment samples in order to provide age constraints on the palaeo-earthquake events that are recorded in a trench on the Lingwu fault near Yinchuan on the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, China. Combining seventeen OSL ages with field observations in the trench shows that at least four events took place at this specific site, and that this fault has been active over the past 200 ka.     

李渔的建筑装饰思想及现代启示

李渔作为“文人系之建筑思想”的代表人物之一,其建筑装饰思想主要体现在崇尚自然,重视环境;尊重个性,重在创新;强调实用与空间相宜;尚平淡雅致,忌奢华等诸方面。李渔的建筑装饰思想,是中国古代文人的人意识和情趣在建筑装饰上的集中反映,是对中国古代建筑装饰思想的发扬和光大,它对现代建筑装饰设计和施工,具有十分重要和现实的指导意义。     

五代十国时期商业贸易的特点及其局限性

五代十国时期商业贸易的特点主要表现在国内各区域间的贸易比较兴盛,与周边少数民族的贸易有所萎缩;陆上对外贸易萎缩,海上贸易有所发展;官营商业有所发展等方面。用于贸易的商品种类与唐代相比,主要表现在农产品商品化的趋势不断扩大上。这一历史时期商业贸易的局限性表现在缺乏统一的国内市场,商税繁重;战乱和混乱的政治秩序,影响了商业贸易的正常进行;币制杂乱,钱币紧缺,制约了商业贸易的进一步发展。     

中国旧石器考古史上的两次大讨论

本文通过对中国旧石器考古史上两次大讨论的回顾,认为引起学界长期以来对石器性质进步与原始的争论的主要原因是对石料与石器制作技术的关系认识不够,“因材施工”可能是中国古人类适应环境的一个十分重要的手段,也是中国旧石器文化的一个特点,这一点对认识“东谷坨石核”的成因可能有一定的启示。     

近50年正定古建筑维修发中现的文字题记初步研究

古城正定素以古建筑众多而闻名,近50年来在对古建筑进行的维修工程中,相继发现了一些文字题记,对鉴定、研究和修缮这些古建筑提供了可靠而有价值的文字资料。本文综合概述了这些文字题记的发现及其内容,并结合志书及碑文等原有资料的记载就相关问题做了考证和论述。     

山西陵川塔水河遗址石制品研究

塔水河遗址位于山西省陵川县夺火乡塔水河上游的葫芦坝左岸一处岩棚下,北距陵川县城约45公里。1985年-1987年,陈哲英研究员对遗址进行了调查和试掘,并于1989年发表了试掘报告,根据发掘者提供的骨化石标本测定的年代为距今26000年。报告发表后,不同学者先后从不同角度对石制品进

The Living and The Dead,Memory and Transition: Bayesian Modelling of Mesolithic and Neolithic Deposits from Vlasac,the Danube Gorges

The paper applies Bayesian statistical modelling to radiocarbon dates obtained for a stratigraphic sequence comprising occupation features and superimposed burials from the Late Mesolithic (c.7400–6200 cal BC) to the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition (c.6200–5900 cal BC), from Vlasac in the Danube Gorges region of the north‐central Balkans. This sequence, investigated in the course of excavations at the site in 2006–9, yielded stratigraphic evidence of the transformation of local forager populations as a result of contact with Neolithic communities. Our paper provides a reliable chronological framework for changes from Late Mesolithic burial rites to new, Neolithic types of ornamental beads at the top of the sequence. The use of the same burial location and continuities in burial rites over a considerable period of time raise significant questions about the role of tradition and the potential for enduring practices in prehistoric societies.     

Discussion on applying trombe wall technology for wall conservation and energy saving in modern historic buildings

Previous studies on modern historic buildings protection have been mainly conducted from the view of building history, culture and aesthetic, but rarely focus on the green building technology and energy-saving. With the increasingly serious crises of environment and energy, it is valuable to research how to carry out ecological protection to effectively reduce energy consumption in modern buildings while ensuring the authenticity and readability of building heritage information.

This article describes a new technical scheme to apply Trombe wall technology for wall conservation in modern historic buildings. The feasibility, key construction technologies and operating conditions in different seasons were demonstrated by an actual case in Beijing. Key findings show that the technical scheme not only protects the skin texture of the wall but also makes full use of passive solar energy. Energy consumption simulation results show that saving energy in winter is significant. Compared with the original building, the total energy consumption of the building that adopted the technical scheme was reduced by 10.77%, the heating energy consumption was reduced by 21.86%, and the cooling energy consumption was reduced by 1.02%. The research findings provide new inspiration and reference for studies on the protection of modern historic buildings, and serve as a technical reference for architects.     

Study on Damage Assessment of Earthen Sites of the Ming Great Wall in Qinghai Province Based on Fuzzy-AHP and AHP-TOPSIS

ABSTRACT

As a world-renowned heritage site, the Ming Great Wall in Qinghai Province, is an example of an earthen site that is seriously threatened by a series of deterioration. Its damage assessment is the precondition for further protection planning and implementation, but related research was found to be scant. To fill this gap, we explore to study its damage assessment by applying Fuzzy-AHP and AHP-TOPSIS to determine the damage assessment levels for 18 earthen sites selected from Qinghai Province, combined with their occurrence environment, engineering properties of rammed earth, deterioration characteristics, and building technologies. After obtaining and comparing results, the AHP-TOPSIS is indicated to be much closer to the real damage conditions. Therefore, this method is proved to be more suitable for the damage assessment of earthen sites in Qinghai Province. This study also holds the potential application of the AHP-TOPSIS in the damage assessment for other earthen sites in Northwest China.
