The development of Huayan doctrine during the late Tang and Five Dynasties was slow, few scholars have paid attention to masters who made great contributions this period. Moreover, scholarly research on period has also been limited scope “Ershui sijia” 二水四家, characterized as Two Waters （Changshui Zixuan 長水子璿 [965-1038] Jinshui Jingyuan 晉水淨源 [1011-1088]） Four Houses （Daoting 道亭 [1023-1100], Guan...

A large number of X-ray sources in globular clusters of galaxies other than the Milky Way has been found with Chandra. We discuss three issues relating to these sources. The X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of the sources in globular clusters of M31 is marginally compatible with the XLF of globular clusters of the Milky Way. The individual XLFs of a dozen elliptical galaxies, after correction fo...

IJMDS ● www.ijmds.org ● January 2016; 5(1) 1038 Original Article Lung function response to dust in Safai workers Arora R, Kaur H ABSTRACT Introduction: Sweepers often work without proper protection and are thus exposed to harmful effects of inhaled dust. Objectives: This study was undertaken to study the effect of dust on the pulmonary functions in sweepers working in PIMS, Jalandhar Materials ...

A continuum crystal plasticity model is used to simulate the material behavior of a directionally solidified Ni-base superalloy, DS GTD-111, in the longitudinal and transverse orientations. Isothermal uniaxial fatigue tests with hold times and creep tests are conducted at temperatures ranging from room temperature (RT) to 1038°C to characterize the deformation response. The constitutive model i...

Solar flares are generally agreed to be impulsive releases of magnetic energy. Reconnection in dilute plasma is the suggested trigger for the coronal phenomenon. It releases up to 1026 J, accelerates up to 1038 electrons and ions and must involve a volume that greatly exceeds the current sheet dimension. The Ramaty High-Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager satellite can image a source in the coron...

In severe forearm injuries, the diagnosis of disruption of the interosseous membrane is frequently delayed and sometimes missed, giving difficulties in the salvage of forearm stability. We studied the structure and function of the interosseous membrane in 11 cadaver preparations, using mechanical and histological analysis. Seven of the specimens tested in uniaxial tension sustained a mid-substa...

This study explored the potential use of hyperspectral data in the non-destructive assessment of chlorophyll, carbon, and nitrogen content of giant reed at the canopy level. We found that pseudoabsorption and derivatives of original hyperspectral data were able to describe the relationship between spectral data and measured biochemical characteristics. Based on correlogram analyses of ground-ba...
