Picturing the moon: Hevelius’s and Riccioli’s visual debate

This article investigates the maps of the moon produced in the mid-seventeenth century by Jesuit Giambattista Riccioli (1598-1671) and Johannes Hevelius (1611-1687), whose cartographic projects competed for widespread acceptance. Although Hevelius’s Selenographia (1647) was applauded for its many detailed, self-engraved pictures of the moon, his cartography and proposed nomenclature were supplanted by Riccioli’s as offered in Almagestum novum (1651), in spite of the latter’s simplistic pictures and promotion of geocentric cosmology. Exploring this paradox through pictorial analysis, three types of images common to both Selenographia and Almagestum novum are compared, employing an analytical tool developed by Svetlana Alpers in The art of describing (1983). A focus on this debate exposes the tensions evoked by new technologies of vision and competing cultures of visual epistemology in seventeenth-century astronomy. As both selenographers grappled with questions about the role of representation and what kinds of knowledge could be generated visually, the successes and failures of their competing projects present implications for the course of visual astronomy, as well as for our understanding of the use of ‘visual technologies’ in a period of controversy.     

表面纤维直径与羊毛机织精纺面料的刺痒感

通过前臂试验对26种轻薄型羊毛机织精纺面料和7种其他纤维的轻薄型机织面料的刺痒感进行了比较研究,并用显微镜对部分轻薄型羊毛机织面料的表面纤维分布进行了研究。结果表明多数毛织物在温度为(24±1)℃、相对湿度为(65±5)％的条件下存在刺痒感,并且毛织物的刺痒感与其表面纤维的平面直径及直径大于26μm的表面纤维根数密切相关。

"溶液吸附法测定活性炭比表面积"实验的改进

研究了吸附荆的颗粒度、吸附时间、吸附温度、原始溶液浓度对吸附平衡的影响，确定了新的实验条件：粒状活性炭破碎至60．100目；70℃恒温振荡0．5h后，再于室温振荡吸附1．5h；原始溶液的溶质质量分数为2％左右．改进后，提高了实验精密度，缩短了实验时间．

籽瓜植株(地上部)的生长发育规律

对内蒙古地区有代表性的四个籽瓜品种植株(地上部)的生长发育进行了研究．结果表明：内蒙古籽瓜的全生育期为92-101d，籽瓜植株的生长发育可分为发芽期、幼苗期、伸蔓期和结果期，结果期分为前期(开花座果期)、中期(果实膨大期)、后期(种子成熟期)．发芽期、幼苗期以叶为生长中心，伸蔓期、结果前期以茎为生长中心，进入结果中期以果实为生长中心不同生育分期长短的差异主要表现在结果中期的差异上．
