Feminism and Nationalism in China's War of Resistance against Japan

In November 1959, India's Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, turned seventy. Having led his country since Britain's departure from South Asia in August 1947, Nehru's seventieth birthday stimulated debates, both inside and outside the Indian subcontinent, on India's future in a post-Nehruvian world. In the early 1960s, with the Indian premier's health deteriorating and Sino-Indian relations under strain, British and US policymakers evidenced increasing concern with whom, or perhaps more pertinently, with what, forces would govern the world's largest democracy after Nehru. This article, which draws upon recently released British and US archival records, provides the first assessment of Western involvement in the struggle to succeed Nehru which occurred within India's ruling Congress Party between 1960 and 1964. Moreover, it offers insights into Anglo-American concern that Nehru's health adversely affected Indian policymaking; the involvement of foreign intelligence services in India's domestic politics; and the misplaced expectations of British and US officials that the appointment of Lal Bahadur Shastri as India's second Prime Minister, in May 1964, would herald the beginning of a new and more productive relationship between India and the West.     

Experimental Evaluation of Seismic Performance of Squat RC Structural Walls with Limited Ductility Reinforcing Details

This article describes an experimental study carried out on of reinforced concrete (RC) walls of less confining reinforcement than that recommended by ACI 318. A total of eight RC walls with boundary elements comprising of five walls with aspect ratio of 1.125 and three walls with aspect ratio of 1.625 were tested by subjecting them to low levels of axial compression loading and simulated seismic loading, to examine the structural performance of the walls with limited transverse reinforcement. Conclusions are reached concerning the failure mode, drift capacity, strength capacity, components of top deformation, and energy dissipation characteristics of walls on the seismic behavior with limited transverse reinforcement. The influences of axial loading, transverse reinforcement in the wall boundary elements, and the presence of construction joints at the wall base on the seismic behavior of walls are also studied in this paper. Lastly, reasonable strut-and-tie models are developed to help in understanding the force transfer mechanism in the walls tested.     

宋代的自然观察:审美、解释与观测兴趣的发达

本文以地理学为核心,从知识兴趣的角度对宋代的自然观察及其解释方法进行了考察,发现在宋代学者中,不仅以山水游赏为目的的审美性自然观十分发达,更积极地观察、观测各种自然地理现象。尤为突出的是,在当时的学者中间,从客观的角度探索自然并解释自然并非个别案例,而具有一定的普遍性。另外,甚至有部分学者抛开形而上的讨论,积极地对长期观测的自然现象进行归纳总结,表现出了浓厚的经验实证思想。虽然这表明当时的自然知识累积与发展出现了新的方向,但是它们并没有得到突破性的发展,其主要原因或在于这些新的因素并没有能够真正地改变儒学知识分子认识自然的基本方式。     

《南京百科全书》的编纂特点、学术价值及现实意义——兼论地区百科全书的编纂及价值

《南京百科全书》的编撰较好地把握了百科全书的编纂规律。它以南京解放以后尤其是改革开放以来的发展变化为重点,具有地方性、全面性、科学性、规范性、实用性、美观性等特色。它的成功出版是地方文献编纂史上的一大突破,为建立地方性学科南京学打下了坚实基础。     

发展低碳经济 实现青海可持续发展

低碳经济的特征是低能耗、低污染、低排放,这种经济发展模式在给青海经济社会的发展带来巨大挑战的同时,也带来了前所未有的机遇。以低能耗、低污染、低排放为基础的低碳经济必将成为实现青海可持续发展的必由之路。     

图经源流再讨论

本文通过对传世文献、敦煌遗书的重新梳理,从王朝地理资料搜集的角度,对唐代以前图经的性质及其变化提出了新的看法。认为目前的资料尚不足以推测汉隋之间图经的体例等问题,大体上仍属于王朝疆域地理资料搜集的一种手段。至于唐代,当地图造送制度正常运行的时候,亦可能要求随例造送文字性质的图经,两者属于不同形式的地理公牍,地图为正,图经为附属。图经之循例或不一定如闰年图那样固定。随着制度运行的涣漫,文字形式的图经因编造的技术性低,往往循例抄录即可,成为塞责之手段。但为解决地理地形问题,或将已绘之小幅地图附上,即成后世所谓先图后文的形式。     

王安石佚书《礼记发明》辑考

王安石是北宋时期的政治家、思想家、文学家,一生著述甚丰。然而,由于北宋末年的党派之争,以及后世的毁誉之论,王安石的著作散佚颇多。今按辑佚书一般原则,依据南宋卫湜的《礼记集说》、元吴澄的《礼记纂言》等著述,从中采辑王安石《礼记》训释65条,合为一编,以见王安石《礼记发明》之梗概。     

民国江浙地区钢筋混凝土结构寿命预测计算方法研究

民国钢筋混凝土结构使用年代较长,一般已超过正常使用年限,有不同程度的耐久性问题。为了科学规范地保护民国钢筋混凝土建筑,通过对6个典型案例的现场检测分析,对这类建筑的耐久性问题和寿命预测方法进行研究,得出民国钢筋混凝土结构的耐久性问题规律,并提出了针对民国钢筋混凝土建筑的碳化寿命计算公式,建议民国钢筋混凝土建筑的使用寿命取锈涨开裂寿命,最后结合案例对民国钢筋混凝土建筑的剩余寿命进行分析。结果表明,民国钢筋混凝土建筑的剩余寿命基本在10年以内。因此,迫切需要对这类建筑进行加固修缮。
