Crowdsourcing Model Research for the Identification of Post-Earthquake Rescue Objects

The quick and accurate identification of post-earthquake rescue objects can minimize the casualties and property loss caused by earthquakes. With the rapid development of remote sensing technology, rescue objects can be identified through high-resolution remote sensing images. There are two main categories of approaches to identify rescue object through high-resolution images: automatic extraction by a computer and visual judgment by professionals. Although results can be obtained quickly by using automatic extraction, the accuracy of the results is unacceptably low. For visual judgment, the large demands for time and professionals restrict its wide practical application. In this study, we introduce crowdsourcing into the identification of post-earthquake rescue objects. First, we integrate the advantages of the computer and crowdsourcing, which means that the computer takes advantage of the speed of information processing, while crowdsourcing makes full use of human recognition capabilities. Second, we take visual judgment tasks out of the hands of professionals and entrust the tasks to workers in a crowdsourcing platform. Not only are the human resources infinite, but we can also improve the efficiency of identifying rescue objects. Third, we propose a crowdsourcing model that improves the quality of the results and saves human resources. Finally, experimental results demonstrate that our solution is feasible.     

尉氏元代壁画墓札记

尉氏县张氏镇壁画墓在最近的报道中被断为宋代。本文结合相关考古资料,从墓葬形制、壁画布局、仿木结构、人物服饰、墓门题记等几个方面进行对比分析,将该墓订正为元代。又依据文献记载和图像资料,对该墓壁画中“曾参行孝”和“焦花女哭麦”两组孝子图加以考证。并进一步梳理了考古所见二十四孝图像,发现其组合形式在宋金时期比较稳定,而元明时期则逐渐转向多元。     

Influence of Taoism on the invention of the purple pigment used on the Qin terracotta warriors

Until the 19th century, most pigments were based on naturally occurring colored minerals and dyes, with three significant exceptions: Egyptian Blue, Chinese Blue/Purple and Maya Blue. The former two are alkaline-earth copper silicates, and because of this similarity it has been proposed that the Chinese pigments were derived from Egyptian Blue. Herein, we analyzed clumps of pigment from the Qin warriors and discovered that in spite of the structural similarity to Egyptian Blue, the micro-structural morphology of Chinese Purple is very different. Therefore, we believe that the synthesis technology for the Chinese pigments was a by-product of high-refractive index glasses (artificial jades) produced by Taoist monks. Further, the disappearance of these pigments from Chinese art and monuments concurrently with the decline of Taoism not only substantiates the link between the two, but also gives a striking example of how cultural changes in the society affected the scientific developments in ancient China.     

北方辽金遗址出土定窑平底碟初探

平底碟是晚期定窑瓷器中的一种非常常见的器型,也是最传统、最保守的一种器型,自北宋晚期以来直至金代,平底碟在各地不同时代的早晚均有发现,体现了一定的演变规律,这也为我们整体上探讨其发展演变提供了可能.对其进行探讨,从中也可以体现同时期整个定窑器物演变上的某些线索.     

宋钱版别研究珍贵史料——读叶适《淮西论铁钱五事状》

叶适（1150～1223）,字正则,学者称水心先生,浙江永嘉（今浙江温州）人,为南宋著名思想家、文学家、政论家,是与朱熹的道学派、陆九渊的心学派并列为南宋三大学派的永嘉学派的集大成者和主要代表。南宋淳熙五年（1178）,叶适以进士第二名及第,后历任吏部员外郎、吏部侍郎、江东安抚使兼沿江制置使等职,官至宝文阁学士、光禄大夫。     

洪业对顾颉刚的学术影响

洪业对崔述《知非集》、《荍田剩笔》等著作进行研究,系统梳理了崔述著作的版本流传、学术思想和生平事迹,这对顾颉刚整理和编订《崔东壁遗书》是有价值的。洪业主持的哈佛燕京学社引得编纂处支持了顾颉刚的《尚书》研究。在《禹贡》半月刊、禹贡学会的创立和以通俗读物的形式宣传抗日的工作中,洪业作出了自己的贡献,这些都对顾颉刚的学术产生了有意义的影响。     

刘魁立先生访谈录

施爱东:做民间文化研究,许多人都把自己弄得很"田野",但我注意到您却非常注重仪表和礼节。只要是开会或上课,您总是西装革履地出现在公共场合,这样严谨地生活累不累?您参加我的博士后出站报告会的那一天,因为来不及回家换衣服,居然临时跑到商店买了一件正式的衣服换上了,那件事给我的印象非常深刻。     

单元记述中的不当倾向及成因简析

在地方志各个叙事单元中,记述的部门倾向以及虚浮、粗放、流水账倾向是较为常见的几种倾向。这些不当倾向的出现,有篇日设计和资料收集等方面的原因,也有受到学术浮躁不良风气影响的原因。这些不当倾向致使地方志中出现视野狭窄、资料性不足、著述性差等问题,直接影响了地方志的质量和品位,应当引起重视。     

宋代羁縻州"虚像"及其制度问题

宋代承袭唐代的羁縻州制度,但发生了许多变化。部分"羁縻州"入宋以来就本不存在,部分"羁縻州"在北宋两次"开边"之后也不复存在,史籍辗转相承,不一定可靠,是一种扩大了的"虚像"。若用宋人赵升所言"受本朝官封,而时有进贡者,本朝悉为羁縻州"的标准来衡量,宋代的羁縻州制度是残缺不全的。
