In The Last Gentleman, Will Barrett embarks upon a journey from the North to the South in quest of identity. Lanterns on the Levee features a similar identity quest pursued, this time, by an autobiographer who records the very process of this quest rather than representing it by a fictional character. Percy the stoic restores realness to people in a lost world, from whom he derives his self and in whom his self is deeply rooted, by remem- bering the personally significant and good past and forgetting the personally insignificant and evil present. In so doing, he not only asserts his personal identity but continues to construct it in an imaginative way. Will, by contrast, seeks to constitute and ascertain his stoic identity both by attempting to forget the every- dayness of ordinary life and thereby establish a genuine relationship with people and by undertaking the pursuit of a fatherly figure who echoes his tenacious memory of his father. Both Will and Percy, however, may be called what Kierkegaard calls a knight of infinite resignation.展开更多

To our knowledge, however, the responses of fitness related behaviors to UV-B radiation at different intensities have been rarely studied in marine invertebrates. For the first time, the present study investigated the eff ects of exposure of one hour to UV-B radiation at different intensities on foraging behavior, Aristotle's lantern reflex and righting behavior of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius. Exposure of one hour to UV-B radiation at 10 μW/cm^2 significantly reduced foraging behavior. An intensity dependent eff ect of exposure to UV-B radiation was found in the duration of the Aristotle's lantern reflex. Exposure to UV-B radiation at 20 μW/cm^2 for one hour significantly reduced the duration of the Aristotle's lantern reflex, but 10 μW/cm^2 did not. There was no significant diff erence of righting response time among sea urchins exposed to 0, 10 and 20 μW/cm^2 for one hour. To test potential carryover ef fects, the behavioral traits were re-measured three days later. We found significant carryover eff ects of UV-B radiation on foraging time and righting response time, but not on the duration of the Aristotle's lantern reflex. The present study indicates that a brief exposure of one hour to UV-B radiation can significantly aff ect the duration of Aristotle's lantern reflex, righting response time and foraging behavior of a sea urchin, although the immediate impacts and carryover eff ects were highly trait dependent. This study provides new information into the behavioral responses of marine invertebrates to exposure to UV-B radiation. Future studies should be carried out to investigate long-term carryover eff ects of UV-B radiation on behavioral and physiological fitness related traits.展开更多

On this basis, the goal of teaching and educating people in the art discipline has changed from taking art as a skill and a tool to aestheticization and human culture development. Under the background of cultivating the core accomplishment in the discipline, the aesthetic tendency and humanistic care of the core accomplishment have become the important objectives of the art teaching practice. For high school art, combining the cognitive characteristics of high school students with the curriculum progress, the cultivation of core literacy is integrated into the curriculum content. Besides cultivating students' artistic appreciation and painting ability, the relationship between knowledge and skills, sensibility and values is dialectically viewed, and it has become a general trend to cultivate students' art literacy from multiple perspectives. This paper mainly takes the folk lantern teaching as an example to provide some practical experience for the middle school art teaching under the core quality of art.展开更多

These pumps trip frequently. Every time the pump trips, it means that the workers have to open the pump for cleaning a polymer. By analyzing the packing pump internal structure and discussing the basic reasons of the failure of the pump, we find that our chemical medium is so viscous that some of these pumps are blocked. It is important to cal- culate the pressure value of the flushing water and to determine the available pressure. Apparently, the more the flushing water increases ,the less the pump is blocked by Latex. The methods for fixing it are to change its internal structure and to add an additional cooling（flushing）water throttle plate. The results show that its tripped frequency changes from twice or 3 times per day to once per month. The effect is extending the running cycle of these pumps.展开更多
