A new antiarch placoderm from the Emsian (Early Devonian) of Wuding,Yunnan, China

Pan, Z., Zhu, M., Zhu, Y. &; Jia, L., August 2017. A new antiarch placoderm from the Emsian (Early Devonian) of Wuding, Yunnan, China. Alcheringa 42, 10–21. ISSN 0311-5518.

Wufengshania magniforaminis, a new genus and species of the Euantiarcha (Placodermi: Antiarcha), is described from the late Emsian (Early Devonian) of Wuding, Yunnan, southwestern China. The referred specimens were three-dimensionally preserved in black shales, allowing a high-resolution computed tomography reconstruction of anatomical details. The new euantiarch is characterized by a large orbital fenestra, an arched exoskeletal band around the orbital fenestra and a developed obtected nuchal area of the skull roof. Maximum parsimony analysis, using a revised data-set of antiarchs with 44 taxa and 66 characters, resolves Wufengshania gen. nov. as a member of the Bothriolepididae, which is characterized by the presence of the infraorbital sensory canal diverging on the lateral plate, and the nuchal plate with orbital facets. New analysis supports a sister group relationship between Dianolepis and the Bothriolepididae. Luquanolepis, a coeval euantiarch from the neighboring site of the new form, is referred to the Asterolepidoidei and represents the basalmost and earliest member of the Asterolepidoidei.

宛西自治:一场夭折的区域现代化实验

20世纪30—40年代,宛西地区发生了一场在“三自主义”指导下的区域性现代化实验。这场以追求“丰衣足食、安居乐业”为目标的实验．植根于本土化的基础之上,由于地理环境的独特和地方精英的努力而取得了一定的成绩;由于理论的局限和对封建土地制度的容忍,得不到广大贫苦群众的拥护而中途夭折。     

Sustainability of Highway Bridge Networks Under Seismic Hazard

In order to evaluate the seismic risk of transportation networks, it is necessary to develop a methodology that integrates the probabilities of occurrence of seismic events in a region, the vulnerability of the civil infrastructure, and the consequences of the seismic hazard to the society, environment, and economy. In this article, a framework for the time-variant seismic sustainability and risk assessment of highway bridge networks is presented. The sustainability of the network is quantified in terms of its social, environmental, and economic metrics. These include the expected downtime, expected energy waste and carbon dioxide emissions, and the expected loss. The methodology considers the probability of occurrence of a set of seismic scenarios that reflect the seismic activity of the region. The performance of network links is quantified based on individual bridge performance evaluated through fragility analyses. The sustainability and risk depend on the damage states of both the links and the bridges within the network following an earthquake scenario. The time-variation of the sustainability metrics and risk due to structural deterioration is identified. The approach is illustrated on a transportation network located in Alameda County, California.     

唐代经学统一的制度性保障

《五经正义》的颁行是唐代在经学文本上的统一举措。经学思想的真正统一还有赖于制度的保障。唐代教育、科举、铨选和其他相关制度不仅确保了五经的权威,而且极大地促进了经学的全面推广和传播。这些制度为经学统一提供了源头性的保障。     

《毛泽东思想万岁》在海外的利用

《毛泽东思想万岁》原为《人民日报》1966年"七一"社论的标题。从该年年底开始,中国大陆各地编印的各种毛泽东综合性著作集大都称为《毛泽东思想万岁》,因此通称为"万岁本",它们包括《毛泽东思想万岁》、《毛主席文选》、《资料选编》、《学习文选》等等,其中《毛泽东思想万岁》的1967年280页32开本、1967年4月16开46+59页本和1969年726页本的影印本,是海外学者经常利用的三种通行本,亦是海外当代中国史和人物特别是     

小议风俗人志

本文首先指出风俗三大特征:基本的地情元素;具有承载历史、折射时代的功能;来自人民,为了人民.重点从四个方面谈了如何以科学发展观指导编修工作.并指出,风俗入志是保证第二轮修志资料完整性、科学性的需要,是体现地方特色、时代特色的需要,也是体现地方志政治价值、社会价值、历史价值和文化价值的需要.     

《中央关于冀南工作的指示》成文时间考

<中央关于冀南工作的指示>(以下简称<冀南>)原抄件落款时间只有"廿三日",没有年月,<中共中央文件选集>[1]和<八路军·文献>[2]均判定为1938年11月23日,<中华民国实录>和<中共中央北方局抗日战争时期卷>都沿用了这个时间.[3]但是,笔者经过考证后认为,<冀南>的成文时间不可能是1938年11月23日,而应当是1939年11月23日.     

中国共产党领导民族振兴的90年

中国共产党的90年,是领导中华民族重新崛起进而走向伟大振兴的90年。大体看来,前28年侧重于民族独立和民族解放,为民族振兴大业创造政治前提;中30年侧重于在中国实践马克思、恩格斯社会主义建设模式;近32年侧重于探索中国特色的社会主义发展模式并形成体现中西文化结合的中国特色社会主义的完善形态。     

第二轮《江苏省志》文化部类编纂的粗浅思考

第二轮《江苏省志》文化部类编纂期间,江苏文化领域随着文化地位的提升、文化产业的兴起和文化观念的变迁,这一领域发生了巨大变化。文化软实力地位的提高,也要求第二轮志书编纂要给文化部类更多的关注。第二轮《江苏省志》在与首轮的过渡和衔接方面,着力抓了以下三方面的工作：1．篇目设置上体现传承性和创新性;2．内容记述上体现专业性与地域性;3．内涵外延上体现深刻性和趋向性。
