The beauty of Tang poetry is expressed in the combination of content and form. If the form is not well reproduced in the process of translation, the integrity of Tang poetry would be impaired to a great extent. By looking at different translations of Tang poetry, it is found that formal reproduction happens where there already exist the similar poetic forms in the target language; such forms as...

in 2013, we launched a project to collect and identify the insects, which were associated with the pistachio gall aphid species forda hirsuta mordv. and slavum mordvilovi kreutz in tang-shekan region of the city of arsanjan in the province of fars. we collected the ichneumonid wasp aneuclis melanaria (holmgren) of the subfamily tersilochinae on the aphid populations of s. mordvilovi. this paras...

Traditional Chinese medicine classifies peripheral nerve impairment as paralysis and arthromyodynia, and considers that it is the result of defects of meridians and vessels, QI and blood, bones and muscles. Huangqi (Astragalus) Guizhi (Cassia Twig) Wuwu Tang, as a Qi invigorating formula, is usually used to improve peripheral nerve impairment. In recent years, some scholars have conducted resea...

In this study, heavy metals (Hg,Cd,Pb,Cu,Zn) and metallothionein (MT) biosynthesis were measured in blood of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) nesting on the northern coast of the Sea of Oman. Heavy metals concentrations in the sea water, the sediments, the blood samples ranged between 0.02-8.43 μg/l, 0.06-10.32 μg/l, and 0.16-36.78μg/g (ww), respectively.The highest concentration...

The construction of self-dual vortex solutions to the Chern-SimonsHiggs model (with a suitable eighth-order potential) coupled to Einstein gravity in (2 + 1) dimensions is reconsidered. We show that the self-duality condition may be derived from the sole assumption g00 = 1. Next, we derive a family of exact, doubly self-dual vortex solutions, which interpolate between the symmetrical and asymme...
