This paper explores the reconstruction of ordination platform in Huishan monastery on Mount Song 767 context reinforcement pro-Buddhist policies at court Emperor Daizong (r. 762–779). The vinaya monks and state officials who engaged this platform’s are identified as associates two prominent monastic figures: Amoghavajra (Bukong jin’gang; 704–774), an Esoteric leader imperial court; Songshan Puj...

We present two experiments that probe the temperature dependence ofthe flexibility ofthe filamentous virus fd by examining aspects ofthe liquid crystalline nature qf fd suspensions. The first measurement i s of the temperature variation o f the coexisting fd concentrations at the isotropic-cholesteric phase transition. The second measurement is ofthe magneticfield induced birefringence or Cotto...

A counterexample is presented to disprove Tang and Padubidri’s claim about the bisection width of a diagonal mesh.

We present the microscopic equation of growing interface with quenched noise for the Tang and Leschhorn model [L. H. Tang and H. Leschhorn, Phys. Rev. A 45, R8309 (1992)]. The evolution equation for the height, the mean height, and the roughness are reached in a simple way. An equation for the interface activity density (or free sites density) as function of time is obtained. The microscopic eq...

While our knowledge about ancient civilizations comes mostly from studies in archaeology and history books, much can also be learned or confirmed from literary texts. Using natural language processing techniques, we present aspects of ancient China as revealed by statistical textual analysis on the Complete Tang Poems, a 2.6-million-character corpus of all surviving poems from the Tang Dynasty ...
