A-Train observation of thermodynamic conditions above tropical cyclones
No full textThis dataset consists of A-Train observation of thermodynamic conditions above tropical cyclones. Satellite observations that pass over tropical cyclone events are identified in ‘A-Train_overpass_geolocation.nc’. Based on identified satellite overpasses, data samples from AIRS-L1B, DARDAR-Cloud, and MLS v4.2 products are collected. Above observed thick high-level clouds, a synergetic retrieval approach (joint AIRS-DARDAR retrieval, Feng et al. (2021 a, b)) is developed to obtain the thermodynamic profiles above the tropical cyclones.

No full textReevesia napoensis H. Z. Feng & Y. Feng Huang sp. nov. (Figs. 3, 4 & 5) Type: — China. Guangxi, Napo Country, Laohutiao Nature Reserve, 700m, 3 August 2014, Y. Feng Huang & H. Z. Feng 70069 (holotype GXMI, isotype IBK). Diagnosis: — Differs from R. rotundifolia and R. orbicularis by cordate, 7-veined leaf base; 3-bracts (two linear and one elliptic-ovate); 4-lobed calyx and the glabrous petals. Description:—An evergreen tree, young branchlets terete, glabrous. Leaves petiolate, petiole 3–17 cm, terete, sparsely stellate puberulent when young, glabrous at maturity, leaf blade orbicular or ovate–orbicular, 9–40 × 8–27 cm, leathery, both sides with sparse yellowish stellate pubescence only on veins, otherwise glabrous, basal veins 7, venation adaxially conspicuously depressed, abaxially conspicuously raised, base cordate, with 3–5 teeth on upper margin, apex acute or obtuse, oblique. Inflorescence paniculate, cymose or thyrsoid, many–flowered, bracteate and flat–topped, 8–10 cm long. Pedicels ca. 3 mm, pubescent. Bracts three, two linear, ca. 0.5 × 2 mm and another one elliptic–ovate, ca. 3 × 4 mm, abaxially softly brown pubescent. Calyx connation, funnel-shaped, ca. 4 mm, abaxially softly brown pubescent, 4-lobed; the calyx lobes unequal, two lobes broadly triangular, ca. 1.5 mm, two lobes narrow triangular, ca. 1 mm. Corolla rotate, valvate; petals 5, distinct white, spatulate clawed, apex retuse or crenately 2-lobed, glabrous. Stamens 15, filaments fused to ovary stipe to form an androgynophore, upper part widening to enclose ovary; anthers are also combined in a capitate cup enclosing the ovarium, bithecous. Androgynophore ca. 1.8 cm; anther head ca. 2 mm in diam., glabrous. Ovary 5-celled, 5-lobed; ovules 2 per locule, ascending, ovoid, ca. 1.5 mm, pubescent; style short, inconspicuous; stigma globose. Capsule yellowish puberulent, woody, loculicidally and septicidally dehiscent into 10 separate valves; obovoid-oblong, 2–3 cm, apex rounded. Seeds superposed, winged, wing developing abaxially, membranous, ca. 2 cm including wing, wing brown; endosperm reduced. Phenology:—Flowering in May and fruiting from July to November. Distribution and ecology:—The species is known only from Napo, northwestern Guangxi, China. And it grows in wet but sunny limestone valleys. Only one small populations with 23 individuals (including only 19 mature trees) have been found in Napo. All mature trees are more than 15 m in height and less than 3 m is observed for all immature trees. The rarity of this new species may be partially due to human activity because the habitat is also suitable for cultivating cassava, tobacco and other economic plants. And the seeds are often aborted. Comparing to the number of mature trees, the number of immature trees further indicates a decreasing population trend. In addition, all these trees are distributed in a total area of approximately 0.6 km 2. No population was found during repeated field surveys of the surrounding areas. According to the IUCN Categories and Criteria (IUCN 2022), the species is classified as Critically Endangered (CR: B1 + 2c). Therefore, it will be necessary to pay close attention to the conservation of this new species. Taxonomic relationships:—The comparison with the known species of Reevesia indicates that R. napoensis is similar to R. rotundifolia Chun (1934: 269, Fig. 6) and R. orbicularis in sharing the characters of the orbicular or ovate-orbicular leaf blade but it has larger phenotypic divergence with R. rotundifolia and R. orbicularis (Table 1). R. napoensis differs from R. orbicularis by the leaf blades upper margin with 3–5 teeth. R. napoensis is very similar to R. rotundifolia by the leaf blades upper margin with teeth, but there are very obvious differences. R. napoensis differs from R. orbicularis by cordate base, 7-veined base (vs. truncate or rounded 3-veined, bracts three (vs. one); calyx 4- lobed (vs. 3-lobed) and glabrous petals (vs. puberulent) (Figs. 5 & 7).Published as part of Feng, Hui Zhe, Qin, Yun Rui & Huang, Yun Feng, 2022, Taxonomic studies on the genus Reevesia (Malvaceae: Helicteroideae) II: on the identity of R. orbicularifolia and a new species from southwestern Guangxi, China, pp. 197-206 in Phytotaxa 545 (2) on pages 199-202, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.545.2.8, http://zenodo.org/record/653474

No full textTesis inédita de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Facultad de Bellas Artes, leída el 30 de mayo de 2017Hoy en día, la cultura y la ciencia tecnológica se centran en el pensamiento equilibrado entre “cielo, tierra y seres humanos”. Han surgido muchos productos que le han dado la coletilla de producto ecológico, verde y civilizado para su comercialización y distribución. En esta tendencia, El Feng Shui ha sido reconocido con fuerte peso como una valiosa cultura tradicional china. Se trata de una necesidad histórica, también es una oportunidad histórica y superar los desafíos. El núcleo delos principios y las reglas de Feng Shui es una ciencia(o arte) para los espacios en los que sus habitantes viven, cómo se eligen y cómo se maneja. La teoría o sistema de Feng Shui se encarga de que los hombres y las mujeres vivan en equilibrio con los distintos campos de energía, y en armonía con la naturaleza, con su entorno y con sus semejantes.En el occidente, al finalizar de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cientos de cosas han ocurrido. Los rápidos avances tecnológicos, como los medios para la construcción,ha creado la arquitectura moderna en todo el mundo. Las construcciones modernas han logrado la solución de las viviendas para los seres humanos en la historia humana, ha cumplido los sueños que nunca se había dado cuenta antes. Sin embargo, al mismo tiempo, el gran desarrollo y el avance de las tecnologías han causado a la supervivencia de la Tierra, al entorno natural y a los seres humanos,incalculables daños, teniendo en común el agotamiento de los recursos, la contaminación ambiental y la explosión demográfica. Estos tres fenómenos comunes en occidente se conocen como las tres “P” de las crisis, obligando a la población humana a reflexionar sobre la relación entre el hombre y la naturaleza. En la cultura yen la ciencia tecnológica se centran en el pensamiento equilibrada entre Cielo, tierra y seres humanos. Han surgido muchos productos que le han dado coletilla de producto ecológico, verde y civilizado para su comercialización y distribución. En esta tendencia, Feng Shui ha sido reconocido con fuerte peso, como un valioso cultural tradicional chino. Se trata de una necesidad histórica, también es una oportunidad histórica para superar los desafíos...Today, culture and technological science focus on balanced thinking between"heaven, earth and human beings." Many products have emerged that have given you the ecological, green and civilized product label for commercialization and distribution. In this trend, Feng Shui has been recognized with strong weight as avaluable traditional Chinese culture. It is a historical necessity, it is also a historic opportunity and overcome the challenges. The core of Feng Shui principles and rules is a science (or art) for the spaces in which its inhabitants live, how they are chosen and how it is handled. The theory or system of Feng Shui ensures that men and women live in harmony with different energy fields, and in harmony with nature, with their environment and with their peers.In the West, at the end of World War II, hundreds of things have happened. Rapid technological advances, such as the means for construction, have created modern architecture around the world. Modern constructions have achieved the solution of housing for human beings in human history, has fulfilled dreams that had never been realized before. However, at the same time, the great development and advancement of technologies have caused the survival of the Earth, the natural environment and human beings, incalculable damages, having in common the depletion of resources, environmental pollution and Demographic explosion. These three phenomena common in the West are known as the three "P" crises, forcing the human population to reflect on the relationship between man and nature. In cultureand technological science they focus on the balanced thinking between Heaven,earth and human beings. Many products have emerged that have given you green,civilized and ecological product labeling for marketing and distribution. In this trend,Feng Shui has been recognized with strong weight, as a valuable traditional Chinese cultural.

El valor contemporáneo de Feng ShuiUna exploración sobre los conceptos de Feng Shui y su aplicación en la arquitectura contemporánea
No full text[ES] El Feng Shui, un arte antiguo considerado como una parte fundamental de la cultura china, a menudo es el retrato como el alma de los edificios tradicionales. El comienzo del Feng Shui se remonta a más de 3.000 años atrás, pero con el desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías, su aplicación en la arquitectura casi desapareció hasta hace muy poco.
La teoría del Feng Shui se puede encontrar no solo en la arquitectura, sino también en otros campos como la filosofía, la historia y la estética, siempre centrándose en la relación entre los humanos y su entorno. Algunos ejemplos de su aplicación se encuentran en los Jardines Clásicos de Suzhou, la tipología tradicional de las residencias de Siheyuan o, el diseño aún relevante de la Ciudad Prohibida en Beijing, entre muchos otros. Si bien pueden variar en escala o tipo, son paradigmas importantes de la importancia del Feng Shui en la cultura china.
Los arquitectos contemporáneos, últimamente, han mirado hacia atrás a la arquitectura tradicional que refleja algunos conceptos vinculados al taoísmo, como Yin y Yang, que se refiere a la interconectividad e interdependencia de los elementos sobre la naturaleza. Este concepto, cuando se aplica a la arquitectura contemporánea, se traduce en una exploración sobre algunas nociones sobre la duración de la vida de los edificios, así como sus capacidades sostenibles. Estas exploraciones podrían verse como una continuación de los valores del Feng Shui como parte de la cultura china, así como un contraste, o casi oposición, a la ciudad moderna impulsada por la tecnología. Este trabajo explora la relevancia de los principios del Feng Shui y sus valores dentro de la arquitectura contemporánea.[EN] Feng Shui, an ancient art regarded as a fundamental part of Chinese culture, is often portrait as the soul of the traditional buildings. The beginning of Feng Shui dates back to more than 3,000 years ago, but with the development of new technologies, its application in architecture almost disappeared until quite recently.
The theory of Feng Shui may be found not only in architecture, but also in other fields such as philosophy, history, and aesthetics, always focusing on the relationship between humans and their environment. Some examples of its application are found in the Classical Gardens of Suzhou, the traditional typology of Siheyuan residences or, the still relevant, layout of the Forbidden City in Beijing among many others. While they might vary in scale or type, they are important paradigms of the significance of Feng Shui in Chinese culture.
Contemporary architects have, lately, looked back to traditional architecture reflecting on some concepts linked to Taoism, as Yin and Yang, which refers to the interconnectivity and interdependency of the elements on nature. This concept, when applied to contemporary architecture, translates into an exploration on some notions about the life span of buildings as well as its sustainable capabilities. These explorations could be seen as a continuation of Feng Shui values as part of Chinese culture as well as a contrast, or almost opposition, to the highly technological driven modern city. This work explores the relevance of Feng Shui principles and its values within contemporary architecture.Liu, W. (2019).

Purchasing family homes: Feng Shui versus sustainability
No full textFeng Shui is an important element to be considered for purchasing real estate property for many Chinese families. The concepts of Feng Shui has been gradually adopted and accepted in the western world. It has been found that, in many perspectives, there are similarities between the concepts of traditional Chinese Feng Shui where harmony between environment, buildings and people are created; and western style of sustainability that focuses the harmonious relationship between human and nature. This paper reviews the Feng Shui elements considered by Chinese families and explores the main features considered by the Western families when purchasing a home. The results will be used as criteria for developing significant factors in future empirical study. Through case studies in Sydney, the findings will be compared and the elements that are similar or different will be discussed. The implications of the research will also be investigated
