A Review of Toni Morrison’s Nobel Prize Speech

Beginning with an old story, Toni Morrison uses her unique method to tell us the functions of language and her perspectives of language and literature. From this story, we can understand her writing standpoint and her determination of making contributions to her nation and people. This paper tries to review her speech given in the Nobel Prize in Literature from four aspects. They are the introduction and comprehension of the story, narrative point of view, discourse and power and feminist criticism.

Study on Complexity of Sutong Bridge’s Objectives system and its Meta-Synthesis Management

Objectives define the boundaries of complex engineering system. It is a hard work to determine the specific objectives of a complex engineering system. The objectives system development needs a complicated process, from nix to prototype, and to final definition. The total process will cover the following course: from chaos to well-ordered; from qualitativeness to combination of quantitativeness and qualitativenss, then to qualitativeness to quantitativeness (a recurrent process), expert experience and theoretical science, rationality and sensibility, synthetic analysis and meta-synthetic, routinization and non-routinization. Such process is explicit in phase development yet overlapped; mutually confined yet mutually independent; permeated conflicts yet pregnant in harmony. This article explores the complexity of Sutong bridge’s objectives development and the process of meta-synthesis in the Sutong Bridge engineering.     

A Milestone in China’s Space History—The White Paper on China’s Space Activities

The white paper document titled“China’s Space Activities”,released in November２０００by theInformation Office of the State Council,represents the first time for China to fully,systematically and publiclyintroduce to the world China’s space development strategy and concerned policies．Its release is a milestoneevent in the country’s space history,bearing great importance and profound influence to its future spaceefforts．The paper here describes the shaping processes of some important new ideas and concepts,includingthe connotative meaning of“space activities in a broad sense”and the roles and positions of different sectors insuch activities．It also briefly discusses related policies concerning the country’s space development and shortterm concepts and plans on its civil space activities．     

Analysis on Certain Speech of Aristotle＇s Ethos,Pathos and Logos

亚里士多德的修辞学对语言分析有重大影响。他认为一篇好的说服性的文章应该需要以下三个方面ethos（人格诉诸）,pathos（情感诉诸）,和logos（逻辑诉诸）。本文通过对某一篇演讲稿的分析探讨这三方面是如何应用的。     

Research on application’s credibility verification based on ABD

Software credibility refers to the matching degree between the expected result and system behavior in the real running environment. This paper focuses on the application of software creditability verification method based on the application behavior declaration (ABD), in which the application of software credibility validation process and the software behavior declaration definition statement are put forward. In the integration of the process and the software development life cycle, the ABD is embedded into the software development phases to make the software behavior be consistent with the judgment and the final realization meet the requirement of trusted software verification.     

A Study on "Foreignization" in English-Chinese Translation

This article approaches to one of the translation theories——the "foreignization".In applying the foreignization method,special attention should be paid to the Chinese language and culture,and what is acceptable to the Chinese readers.When foreignization is not feasible,the domestication method should be applied as a supplementary method.     

A Study on the Characterization of Jude the Obscure

This paper is a brief study on the characterization of Jude the Obscure, and will be focus on the chief character Jude Fawley. This novel, first published in 1895, wasThomas Hardy's last and best literary success. There are six main characters in this novel: Jude Fawley, Susanna Bridehead, Arabella Donn, Richard Phillotson, Aunt Drusilla, Little Father Time (Little Jude). This analysis of the distinct depictions of the typical characters will be helpful to the understanding of the gap between the ideal life a man wishes to lead and the squalid existence he is fated to live in such social environment as Jude is confronted with.

Quasi-Shephard’s problem on projections of convex bodies

In this paper, we develop a Fourier analytic approach to study the problem in the Brunn-Minkowski-Firey theory of convex bodies. We formulate and solve a quasi-Shephard＇s problem on projections of convex bodies.     

Study of the Development Road Map of China’s Renewable Energy

Renewable energy （RE） has been attached high attention around the world due to its carbon-free and indigenous production in a sustainable way. China enjoys plenty of renewable energy resources, particularly the wind, solar, hydro- and biomass energy, which could be a sound basis for a large-scale exploitation. This report examines the current status of RE technology and industry, analyzes the challenges of promoting RE in China. In order to pave the way for a long-term development of RE, this paper outlines the basic principles and priorities for individual RE technology. In line with these, the paper puts forward the RE targets and further describes the RE road map by 2020, 2030 and extend to 2050, taking consideration of China＇ s RE resources, industrial basis and energy demand etc. At last, this paper provides some recommendations to ensure the achievements of the RE targets.     

A Preliminary Study on Soft Tissue Cutting in Virtual Surgery Simulation

A method for simulation of cutting virtual soft tissue objects made of tetrahedron elements is developed. A linear isotropic elastic model is used for the soft tissue material properties and a tensor-mass model chosen for the physical deformation. The Verlet leapfrog method is used to perform time integration in solving the dynamic equations. Cutting is simulated by simply removing the tetrahedron elements that are intersected with the virtual scalpel. By making use of the spatial coherence, collision detection between soft tissue objects and the virtual scalpel is sped up. To facilitate the simulation, the soft tissue object is represented by linked lists of vertices, edges and tetra elements with pointers to the related neighboring features. The established software framework can serve as a base for the future development. Results of virtual experiments are shown and discussed. Possible future directions are also given.
