    Tang Code, Tang Rite, and Other Manuscripts of Tang Dynasty

    No full text
    In the present paper, the author gives the preliminary reports on three newly found Tang 唐 official documents, pointing out their important value, and offering the all texts for further studies.1. In Tunhuang and Turfan Documents concerning Social and Economic History I. Legal Texts (Tokyo 1978-1980), Professors T. Yamamoto, O. Ikeda, and M. Okano published the joined texts of O. 5098 and O. 8099 from Otani collection. They identified the fragments with the Section on Violence and Robbery of the Tang Code (唐律), and pointed out the article comes from the Yonghui 永徽 or Chuigong 垂拱 Code according to the Zetian 則天 characters used in the Buddhist text on the verso. The author joins another fragment based on an old photograph of the Turfan document preserved in the Lüshun Museum (旅順博物館). The new text contains one different article from the printed text after the Song 宋 dynasty.2. Among the Dunhuang 敦煌 manuscripts in the National Library of China in Beijing, there is a good copy of the Tang Rite (唐礼) in high Tang characters (No. zhou 周 70A). It contains the text corresponding to the Da Tang Kaiyuan li 大唐開元礼, vol. 37: “Huangdi shixiang yu Taimiao 皇帝時享於太廟”. It is the first time to find the book in Dunhuang or Turfan manuscripts.3. In his Dunhuang Turfan Tangdai fazhi wenshu kaoshi 敦煌吐魯番唐代法制文書考釈, Liu Junwen thought the document of zhou 51 should be the Regulations of the Regional Military Organization. But the form of the original document could not conform to the Tang Regulations, so the author refutes his view and thinks that it is an official document relating to the beacon of the military fortress in the area of Dunhuang or Turfan.journal articl

    Wyznaczenie "trzech stref" pożaru endogenicznego w zrobach ściany zmechanizowanej nr 713 w kopalni węgla kamiennego w Qinan

    In goaf of No.713 fully mechanized longwall of Qinan Coal Mine spontaneous combustion parameters test system was installed and different gases concentration and temperature distribution in the goaf were obtained. By use of specialized computational fluid dynamics software FLUENT leakage flow field distribution in the goaf was simulated. Finally, on the basis of oxygen concentration and temperature trends and air leakage speed distribution in the goaf, the "three zones" in the goaf was determined. The results showed that distribution of "three zones" in the goaf is not symmetrical. Along the side of intake in the goaf heat dissipation zone width is 0-30 m from the working face, oxidation zone width is 30-90 m. Along the side of return airway in the goaf heat dissipation zone width is 0-20 m from the working face, oxidation zone width is 20-80 m. The results provide a guidance for developing scientific and effective fire prevention and control measures in goaf.W zrobach ściany zmechanizowanej nr 713 kopalni węgla kamiennego w Qinan zainstalowano system badania parametrów pożaru endogenicznego, za pomocą którego uzyskano parametry różnych stężeń gazów i zakresu temperatur występujących w zrobach. Poprzez wykorzystanie specjalistycznego oprogramowania FLUENT (obliczeniowa mechanika płynów) wykonano symulację pola przepływu gazów. Na podstawie wartości stężenia tlenu oraz wskazań temperatury i prędkości przepływu powietrza w zrobach wyznaczono "trzy strefy" spalania. Wyniki pokazują, że rozkład "trzech stref' w zrobach jest niesymetryczny. Szerokość wzdłuż wlotu powietrza w strefie rozpraszania ciepła w zrobach wynosi 0-K30 m od strony wyrobiska ścianowego, szerokość obszaru utleniania to 30-90 m. Szerokość wzdłuż kanału powrotnego powietrza w strefie rozpraszania ciepła w zwalisku wynosi 0-20 m od strony roboczej, szerokość obszaru utleniania to 20-80 m. Wyniki stanowią podstawy do opracowania skutecznego i opartego na wiedzy naukowej systemu ochrony przeciwpożarowej i zabezpieczeń w zrobach

    Carbon cycling and POC turnover in the mesopelagic zone of the ocean: Insights from a simple model

    No full text
    Carbon budgets of the mesopelagic zone are poorly constrained, highlighting our lack of understanding of the biota that inhabit this environment and their role in the cycling and sequestering of carbon in the deep ocean. A simple food web model of the mesopelagic zone is presented that traces the turnover of particulate organic carbon (POC), supplied as sinking detritus, through to its respiration by the biota via three pathways: colonization and solubilization of detritus by attached bacteria, production of free-living bacteria following losses of solubilization products during particle degradation, and consumption by detritivorous zooplankton. The relative consumption of detritus by attached bacteria was initially specified as 76%, with the remaining 24% by detritivores. Highlighting an asymmetry between consumption and respiration, the resulting predicted share of total respiration due to bacteria was 84.7%, with detritivores accounting for just 6.6% (with 6.5% and 2.2% by bacterivores and higher zooplankton, respectively). Bacteria thus dominated respiration and thereby acted as the principal sink for POC supplied to the mesopelagic zone, whereas zooplankton mainly recycled carbon back to the base of the food web as detritus or dissolved organic carbon rather than respiring it to CO2. Estimates of respiration are therefore not necessarily a reliable indicator of the relative roles of bacteria and zooplankton in consuming and processing POC in the mesopelagic zone of the ocean. The work highlighted a number of major unknowns, including how little we know in general about the dynamics and metabolic budgets of bacteria and zooplankton that inhabit the mesopelagic zone and, specifically, the degree to which the solubilized products of enzymatic hydrolysis of POC by attached bacteria are lost to the surrounding water, the magnitude and factors responsible for bacterial growth efficiency, the role of microbes in the nutrition of detritivores, and the recycling processes by which zooplankton return what they consume to the food web as detritus and dissolved organic matter

    Smilax austrosinensis F.T. Wang & Tang (1934: 423). Type:— CHINA. Chongqing [Szechuan]: Nanchuan, Mt. Jinfo [Chinfu Shan], elev. ca. 1800 m, 27 May 1928, W. P. Fang 1099 (holotype PE00035146; isotypes A00030078, PE00034188). A paratype in CQNM: CHINA. Sichuan: Mt. Emei, elev. ca. 1700 m, 7 July 1931, F. T . Wang 23243 (CQNM0006992, PE00432616). = Smilax lanceifolia var. elongata (Warb. in Diels 1900: 259) F.T.Wang & Tang in Wang et al. (1978: 220). Note:— Wang & Tang (1934) designated W. P. Fang 1099 as the type in the protologue without specifying the herbarium. For the above traced three duplicates of this gathering, only PE00035146 bears the handwriting annotation “ Smilax austrosinensis Wang et Tang, sp. nov. ” determined by Wang & Tang in May 1934. It is inferred that it is the only specimen Wang & Tang (1934) based when preparing the description of this name and it is the holotype, which is contrary to Lin & Yang (2015a), who considered that PE00034188 is the holotype. Though it contains more complete morphological characters, PE00034188 has handwriting of different style for the annotation “ Smilax austrosinensis Wang et Tang ” and determined in October 1934 on a label printed as “EMENDANDA”, which means a letter handwriting annotation and this specimen should be an isotype.Published as part of Chen, Feng & He, Hai, 2022, The historical relics in Chongqing Natural History Museum: An annotated checklist of original materials for 37 names of Chinese seed plants, pp. 38-52 in Phytotaxa 530 (1) on page 45, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.530.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/582393

This new species may be easily distinguished from all hitherto described species of Stenus cirrus g roup by coniform paraglossae and a distinct shape of the genitalia. Stenus flammeus differs from the following species, S. bostrychos sp. n., in having reddish brown coloration and unicolorous elytra. In general facies S. flammeus resembles also S. toppi Zhao & Zhou, 2005 but has an unmargined abdomen (as in species traditionally placed in Hypostenus). Distribution. China (Sichuan Province). Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin word “ flammeus ” referring to the reddish brown coloration of this species.Published as part of Liang, Tang, Zhao, Yun-Long & Puthz, Volker, 2008, Six new Stenus species of the cirrus group (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) from China with a key to species of the group, pp. 1-18 in Zootaxa 1745 on pages 10-12, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18162
