Journal articles on the topic 'Ta-ming'

The three publishing houses of Wen-wu in Peking, Shanghai shu-tien, and Ku-chi in Tientsin joined forces to produce a new edition of the Taoist Canon. The Tao-tsang they published in 1988 is meant to be an improvement on the so-called Cheng-t'ung Tao-tsang printed in 1921–23 by the Han-fen lou branch of Shanghai Commercial Press. The latter takes as its foundation the copy of the Ming Canon from the archives of the Pai-yün Kuan (White Cloud Abbey) in Peking. The woodcut edition of the Ming Canon contains two components. The core collection appeared under the title Ta Ming Tao-tsang ching in the years 1444–45 of the Cheng-t'ung reign period. A small supplement entitled Hsü Tao-tsang ching was issued in 1607.

For a long time, scholars have known that the ancient Sino-East Africantrade relationship produced valuable accounts of East Africa in the Chinese imperial archives. Particularly, the historical documents compiled during the T'ang, Sung, and Ming dynasties contain several insightful snapshots of East Africa over the span of 800 years. Unfortunately, due to the difficulty of translating ancient Chinese texts, scholars have not been able to utilize these documents fully. In other cases, scholars have misused the translations to derive conclusions that may not be supported by the original text. In this essay I propose to re-examine the original Chinese sources and the way these sources have been used by subsequent scholars. Furthermore, I shall explore the real or potential contribution of these texts to our understanding of East African coastal history.The primary source of Chinese knowledge about East Africa during the T'ang dynasty (618-907) comes from Ching–hsing Chi (“Record of Travels”) and Yu–yang Tsa–tsu (“Assorted Dishes from Yu–yang”). During the Sung dynasty (960-1279), most of the information is recorded in Chu-fan-chih (“Gazetteer of Foreigners”) and Ling–wai Tai–ta (“Information from Beyond the Mountains”). Finally, the record of the Ming (1368-1644) naval expedition into the western Indian Ocean is preserved in Wu–pei–chih (“Notes on Military Preparedness”), Hsing–ch'a Sheng–lan (“Triumphant Vision of the Starry Raft”), and Ming Shih (“History of the Ming Dynasty”).

The Occupy Central Movement was the biggest protest in Hong Kong in decades and caused an unprecedented division of opinion in society. Reports about the event in local Chinese media were remarkably different in stance and attitude. To understand the ideological dissonances and their linguistic construction, this article analyzes a corpus of 120 reports on the Occupy Central Movement from four major Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong, namely, Apple Daily, Ming Pao, Oriental Daily News and Ta Kung Pao, which cover the political spectrum from anti-Beijing to pro-Beijing. In total, 856 concordance lines of the two selected words ‘佔中’ ( occupy Central) and ‘佔領’ ( occupy) were annotated using the Attitude framework. Analysis shows that their attitudes toward the event form a continuum from supportive, through neutral, to antipathic. The attitudes do not simply reflect the stances of the newspapers, but are strategically selected and designed to legitimize or delegitimize the event. The pattern of attitudes reflects the ideological divergence in Hong Kong society, and at the same time, the news reports also exacerbate the divergence by reinforcing the attitudes of their readers.

Abstract. The Huafan University campus is located in the Ta-lun Shan area in northern Taiwan, which is characterized by a dip slope covered by colluvium soil of various depths. For slope disaster prevention, a monitoring system was constructed that consisted of inclinometers, tiltmeters, crack gages, groundwater level observation wells, settlement and displacement observation marks, rebar strain gages, concrete strain gages, and rain gages. The monitoring data derived from hundreds of settlement and displacement observation marks were analyzed and compared with the displacement recorded by inclinometers. The analysis results revealed that the maximum settlement and displacement were concentrated on the areas around the Hui-Tsui, Zhi-An, and Wu-Ming buildings and coincided with periods of heavy rainfall. The computer program STABL was applied for slope stability analysis and modeling of slope failure. For prevention of slope instability, a drainage system and tieback anchors with additional stability measures were proposed to discharge excess groundwater following rainfall. Finally, threshold value curves of rainfall based on slope displacement were proposed. The curves can be applied for predicting slope stability when typhoons are expected to bring heavy rainfall and should be significant in slope disaster prevention.

In the history of humanity, the first TMF was made in the 4th century BC. C. During the Dong-jin Chinese dynasty, the physician Ge Hong described the oral administration of a suspension prepared from human feces in patients with food poisoning or severe diarrhea with good results. In the sixteenth century, during the Ming Dynasty, Li Shi Zhen described in the book of traditional Chinese medicine Ben Cao Gang Mu (Compendium of Materia Medica), the prescription of faecal suspensions (fermented or fresh) and dried faeces for the treatment of diseases abdominals that occur with diarrhea, fever, pain, vomiting and constipation. For aesthetic reasons, doctors labeled these preparations as "yellow soup." The Italian doctor Fabricius Aquapendente, in the seventeenth century, referred to IMT as transfaunation and used it in veterinary medicine. The TMI was used by German soldiers to treat bacterial dysentery during World War II. In the year 1958, Eisman et al. They publish the first article in which four patients with pseudo-membranous colitis were treated with TMF (1). The IMT has generated a change in the perspective of the treatment of multiple diseases. Mark Smith says "We have more than 130 samples ready to use", who after graduating in Microbiology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has set up OpenBiome, where faeces, mixed with glycerol so they do not spoil, are stored cold (2). Our group was the first to carry out the TMI in Mexico, in patients not carrying Clostridium difficile, as reported in the Journal Surgery and Surgeons. Vol.86: No. 3. 2018.

<p align="center"><strong>DETERMINATION OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY IN COLOR PLANT EXTRACTS <em>IN VITRO</em></strong></p><p align="center"><strong>G.R. Lamazian, I.M. Sytnik, P.A. Chernovol, I.S. Chekman, M.V. Khaitovych</strong></p><p align="center">Bogomolets National Medical University, Kyiv</p><p><strong>Introduction.</strong> To date, the relationship between free radical oxidation and the development of most pathological processes - endocrinology and cardiovascular diseases is proved. Modern living conditions, the negative impact of environmental factors, emotional stresses, genetic factors - all these are a prerequisite for initiating redox balance disturbances in the body. A key role in this regard belongs to reactive oxygen species (ROS), which cause development of oxidative stress (OS). Recently, the antioxidant properties of medicinal plants (MP) in the prevention and correction of the OS are actively studied. It is commonly known that MP is a source of polyphenolic compounds - powerful natural antioxidants that inhibit free radical oxidation chain reaction through inhibition of oxidative enzymes, the formation of metal chelates or neutralization of radicals.</p><p>The aim of this work was to study the antioxidant activity (AOA) of <em>Hypericum perforatum (L.)</em> and <em>Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Shrad.</em> extracts on the model of superoxide radical inhibition <em>in vitro.</em></p><p><strong>Investigation methods.</strong> Determination of AOA was carried out spectrophotometrically according to the change in absorbance of studied extracts in a model test system of adrenaline autoxidation in an alkaline medium at a wavelength of 340 nm. Assessment of AOA was conducted by the degree of inhibition of superoxide radical, taking into account the impact of extracts’ color that absorbs certain wavelength in the visible spectrum.</p><p><strong>Results and discussion.</strong> Investigated extracts show high AOA in a range of all concentrations, preventing the formation of superoxide radical in vitro. It was somewhat higher in <em>H. perforatum</em> versus <em>C. colocynthis.</em> It should be noted that the AOA of extracts depends on their concentration. The highest value of AOA for <em>H. perforatum</em> (95,77%) is detected at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml. <em>C. colocynthis</em> showed maximum AOA (88.62%) at a concentration of 0,5˟10-3 mg/ml.</p><p>Values of absorbance after ten minutes exposure indicate that with time the AOA of extracts decreases due to their multi-component composition and interinfluence of biologically active substances, which can be both antagonists and synergists.</p><p>It is known that the antioxidant effect of MP is achieved due to nonenzymatic molecules represented mainly by polyphenolic compounds – flavonoids, phenolcarbonic acids, catechins, stilbenes etc. Activation of cell protective mechanisms by plants polyphenols significantly reduces the manifestations of the OS. Thus, a number of epidemiological and experimental studies indicate that regular action of natural polyphenols improves the quality of patients’ lives with diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, hypertension, metabolic syndrome.</p><p><strong>Conclusions. </strong></p><p>1. In was established that the plant extracts of <em>H. perforatum (L.)</em> and <em>C. colocynthis (L.) Shrad.</em> possess AOA in a range of all concentrations.</p><p>2. Extracts activity depends on the concentration. The highest value of AOA for <em>H. perforatum</em> (95,77%) is detected at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml and <em>for C. colocynthis </em>(88.62%) - at a concentration of 0,5˟10-3 mg/ml.</p><p>3. The decrease in AOA with time (10 minutes exposure) was revealed, which may be due to the interinfluence of biologically active substances in extracts.</p><p><strong>References</strong></p><p>1.

Abstract: Late Miocene biostratigraphy of coaly sediments in the Southeastern Red River Delta are basically interpreted from the analyses of foraminifera, palynology with referencing analyses of petrographic thin section, grain-size and physicochemistry, from the samples of 3 boreholes. Late Miocene/Pliocene stratigraphical boundary is marked by the appearances of planktonic foraminifera as Neogloboquadrina acostaensis; Globigerinoides ruber, G. bulloides, G. conglobatus. Sedimentary environments were: tidal flats in the Earlier of Late Miocene; tidal flats and coastal marshes in the Middle of Late Miocene; tidal flats and coastal marshes intercalated with neritic shallow sea in the Later of Late Miocene. The Late Miocene paleoclimate in the study area was characterized by hot subtropical regime in the earlier, changed into tropical intercalated with cooler period in the middle and ended with colder subtropical regime in the later.
 Keywords: biostratigraphy, coaly sediments, Late Miocene, foraminifera, palynology, paleoclimate.

We review our recent work on optical biosensors based on microring resonators (MRR) integrated with 4x4 multimode interference (MMI) couplers for multichannel and highly sensitive chemical and biological sensors. The proposed sensor structure has advantages of compactness, high sensitivity compared with the reported sensing structures. By using the transfer matrix method (TMM) and numerical simulations, the designs of the sensor based on silicon waveguides are optimized and demonstrated in detail. We applied our structure to detect glucose and ethanol concentrations simultaneously. A high sensitivity of 9000 nm/RIU, detection limit of 2x10-4 for glucose sensing and sensitivity of 6000nm/RIU, detection limit of 1.3x10-5 for ethanol sensing are achieved.
