Memory of the Body,Temptation of Space

In this essay I examine the possibilities of approaching the phenomenon of memory from the point of view of space. Drawing on Edward Casey’s Getting Back into Place and on Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s analyses of the spatialized lived body, I attempt to show in what way memory can be said to belong to places. My inquiry ends with a discussion of Paul Ricoeur’s proposals on the narrative dimension of human space, which, I argue, allows us to consider why a building or a city may be said to produce a sensed duration by and through inscribing it in the durability of their materials and, at the same time, in human histories.     

Accurate identification of the pastry contained in a ceramic pot excavated from Jurou Li's grave from the Jin dynasty (1115–1234 ce) in Xi'an,Shaanxi, China

In order to identify accurately the circular object contained in the ceramic pot excavated from Jurou Li's grave of the Jin dynasty (1115–1234 ce ) in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China, mass spectrometry was applied to determine the amino acid sequences of the residual proteins extracted from the sample, after preliminary starch grain analysis. The sequences were searched against a standard protein sequence database. The proteins extracted were identified as originating from domesticated barley (Hordeum vulgare), soybean (Glycine max), and fermentative microorganisms (Kluyveromyces lactis, Lipomyces starkeyi, Wickerhamomyces ciferrii, Nadsonia fulvescens and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii). These findings indicate that the extremely degraded object in the ceramic pot was made from barley by fermentation with the addition of soy sauce, providing direct evidence of culinary culture in the Jin dynasty.     

论西夏偈颂的诗化——以西夏文《贤智集》为例

西夏持续不断的译经活动以及大量汉文佛经的翻译,一定程度上加深了已经诗化了的汉文偈颂对西夏偈颂翻译的影响。这种影响进一步延伸至偈颂的创作领域,但并未偏离偈颂的一般范式,而是依循着偈颂基本的特性又有所发展。《贤智集》中的三篇颂所展现的诗化现象,是偈颂文学在持续交流活动中被西夏继承于书面的产物。     

Ductility-Equivalent Viscous Damping Relationships for Beam-to-Column Partial-Strength Steel Joints

This paper seeks to contribute to the development and improvement of displacement-based design procedures, proposing improved ductility-equivalent viscous damping relationships for steel moment-resisting framed structures with dissipative beam-to-column partial-strength joints. These relationships can be used directly in procedures like the Direct Displacement-Based Seismic Design (DDBD) that uses effective stiffness, ductility-equivalent viscous damping relationships, and period-displacement relationships in a performance-based design approach. To this end, a finite element model of a steel beam-to-column sub-assemblage, characterized by an extended end-plate, is developed in ABAQUS. The model, which is validated against monotonic and cyclic experimental data obtained in previous research, is employed to carry out non-linear time-history (NLTH) analyses, using real records scaled to target several levels of ductility demand. A procedure is then proposed and applied to determine the ductility-equivalent viscous damping relationships of the sub-assemblages. The equivalent linearization technique is applied to the non-linear responses obtained in the NLTH analyses, using an elastic single degree of freedom structure and the elastic displacement spectra. The influence of joints mechanisms and of the dynamic characteristics of the structure in the equivalent viscous damping is investigated, and an expression for ductility-equivalent viscous damping is proposed. The proposed expression represents a clear improvement in relation to the existing expressions available in literature.     

脆弱黏结出土丝织品文物揭展技术研究及应用

丝织品文物经长期地下埋藏,出土时普遍存在严重糟朽、层间黏结的状况。为对丝织品文物进行有效的保护,根据自分层理论,研究出一种在降低丝织品文物层间黏结强度的同时,可以很好地增强丝织品文物本体力学强度的揭展剂。通过AFM、SEM对揭展剂成膜性、渗透性能进行表征,证明了自分层揭展剂分层效果、渗透性良好;使用机械强度、色差仪、硬挺度作为织物性能指标对揭展效果进行评价,证明揭展剂对古代黏结、脆弱丝织品具有良好的揭展、加固效果。应用该揭展剂成功揭展了安徽南陵出土宋代脆弱丝织品文物。

关于吐蕃统治敦煌时期的基层组织——十将、将

吐蕃敦煌地区的十将、将源自本部十将(tshan bcu),又对唐朝军队的十将、左右将制度进行了模仿。敦煌汉人军事部落中设有将,以左、右等厢编制,将之首领称为将头,统率本将成员所组成的军事编队。之上设有十将使,简称十将,也以左、右等厢编制,十将使管辖百人,吐蕃文称为brkyevu rje,管辖机构为十将(bcu tshan),可能管辖2个将(tshan)。十将使、将头都归属部落使管辖,管理相关军事行政事务。将头统领本将成员组成的军事编队tshar,称之为小茹(ru cung),之上设有中茹(ru vbring),即十将使。归义军军队中的十将、将、队制直接承袭了吐蕃旧制,并受到唐朝军制影响。     

乡村旅游开发理念批判

本文归纳提出了乡村旅游开发对客源市场的核心吸引元素是"三乡二土"特色。针对目前在乡村旅游开发和经营进程中表现出来的理念误区加以分析和批判。在此基础上,提出了发展乡村旅游深层次开发新的思路:特色观念上的"守旧创新";市场观念上的"主导市场";人际交往观念上"主宾关系";产品观念上"四季花开"。试以引导乡村旅游开发走向科学而健康的道路。     

陕西旬邑西头遗址出土彩绘白灰面的成分和工艺分析

对陕西旬邑县西头遗址出土的彩绘白灰面进行了成分和制作工艺分析。采用偏光显微分析、扫描电镜能谱、X射线衍射,拉曼光谱分析了该彩绘面的颜料和石灰层成分,采用气相色谱-质谱联用技术(GC-MS)分析了该彩绘面的胶料成分。结果表明,该彩绘面的颜料由铁红,铁黄和绿土构成。白灰层由碳酸钙构成,部分样品中存在双层白灰层。GC-MS分析表明,该彩绘面的胶料含动物胶,可能还含蛋类。通过比较研究发现,旬邑彩绘白灰面的制作工艺和与后期壁画制作工艺相似,对其组成和工艺的研究将有助于探索先周时期关中地区壁画的起源和发展。     

贾谊《新书》之传世辨解

今本署名汉初政论家贾谊的《新书》或《贾子》一书,自宋以来屡受质疑,如宋朱熹语"贾谊新书除了《汉书》中所载,余亦难得粹者,看来只是贾谊一杂记稿耳.中间事事有些个."①贾谊及其政治学说对于我们理解形成于战国末至汉初的折衷主义哲学至关重要.
