洛阳发现的利奥一世金币考释

最近,笔者有机会见到一枚在洛阳收集到的罗马帝国晚期的金币。这枚金币为我们了解罗马帝国晚期和拜占庭帝国初期索里得金币的东来提出了新问题①。下面,笔者想就这枚金币本身及其相关问题略作探讨。一、币面考察与考证这枚金币制作精美,属于冲压法制作而非模铸币,外轮廓规则,无剪边,直径为17mm,重3·5克,金币正面刻有一个十字形的标记,清晰可辨(封三上左)。金币正面:铭文是DN LEO PERPETAVC,图案为皇帝的半身胸像,头呈四分之三右侧向,头戴王冠,身披铠甲,右手握矛,矛尖露于左耳际,左手侧饰有盾牌,盾牌上有骑士踏敌图案。金币背面:铭文…

藏传佛教造像的几个类型

大乘佛教宣称三世十方有无数佛,并由此将佛推向神话。佛教传入藏区青藏高原时,大乘佛教已成定势,在此基础上产生的藏传佛教自然拥有许多佛。特别是藏传佛教形成时期正是佛教金刚乘极盛时期,藏传佛教在其形成过程中充分吸收了佛教金刚乘教义,因而在藏传佛教中产生了庞大的佛、菩萨、护法神等佛教神像体系。     

青铜三螭纹阳燧考辨

旅游客源预测的神经网络方法

对旅游业来说,客源是赖以存在和发展的关键因素。根据游客人数的多少,旅游接待地可相应确定旅游接待服务设施规模,因此对游客数量进行预测是很重要而且是十分必要的。本文提出了一种基于人工神经网络的旅游客源预测方法,用以对旅游客源进行预测。文中首先介绍了神经网络的基本原理,以及BP算法的运算过程。在此基础上,针对入境旅游人数预测的特定问题构造了一个神经网络模型,对近些年入境旅游人数进行了较为准确的预测,并将其结果与传统方法进行了比较。结果表明:该方法能有效地对旅游客源进行预测,结果优于传统方法,具有很高的准确性和鲁棒性。     

不同类型道路密度对公共空间盗窃犯罪率的影响——基于ZG市的实证研究

道路密度对犯罪分布存在影响已得到大多数学者的证实,但忽略了不同类型道路属性的差异对犯罪的影响。不同类型道路在社会-建成环境等各种属性方面存在较大的差异,因此明确不同类型道路密度对公共空间盗窃犯罪率存在的影响有助于犯罪的防控。基于此,本文以派出所为单元构建多元线性回归模型进行研究。研究发现,不同类型道路密度对公共空间盗窃犯罪率影响不同：城市次干道、城市支路和其他可通车道路密度对公共空间盗窃犯罪率有正向影响;不可通车道路密度对公共空间盗窃犯罪率有负向影响;城市主干道密度对公共空间盗窃犯罪率影响不显著。不同类型道路社会-建成环境的差异是公共空间盗窃犯罪率不同的原因。研究结果可为犯罪精准防控提供指导。     

北方地区寺庙、殿堂壁画可溶盐活动规律的 实验室模拟研究

古代壁画的风化酥碱问题一直是壁画病害中最常见和最严重的问题之一,其主要原因是墙体中的可溶盐。了解壁画中可溶盐无机离子的特性及其活动规律可为解决古代壁画的酥碱问题提供科学参考和依据。为此,通过模拟壁画中可溶盐活动实验来揭示可溶性无机离子在壁画中的分布及活动规律。利用离子色谱仪检测分析壁画不同高度细泥层、粗泥层以及土坯层的可溶盐离子浓度。结果表明,试块细泥层中的Ca2+,Na+,和SO24-含量最高,说明这三种离子在壁画中的迁移能力最强,Cl-、NO3-、Mg2+的迁移能力居中,K+迁移能力最弱。离子迁移能力越强,在壁画表层富集程度就越高,各离子之间形成结晶盐的机率越大,对壁画破坏作用越大。本研究可为解决古代壁画盐害提供依据。
