耶稣会士在17和18世纪西方科学技术向中国的传播过程中起到了重要作用,但他们对水利技术的影响却未得到足够的关注.例如,传教士熊三拔与中国官员徐光启合著了《泰西水法》(1612年),这是中国最早介绍西方提水装置的书籍,其中详细描述了阿基米德螺旋泵.阿基米德螺旋泵在中国和朝鲜的影响较为有限,但就日本而言,这种螺旋泵早在1637年就用于佐渡岛的金矿排水.19世纪后期,西方人接触到描绘日本采金过程的手工着色画卷,这才了解阿基米德螺旋泵在日本的应用.这些画卷揭示了阿基米德螺旋泵的各类应用,而相关知识显然源自《泰西水法》中的制作说明.“,”The Jesuits played an important role in the transmission of Western science and technology to China during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,though their impact on water technology has received scant attention thus far.As a case in point,Sabatino de Ursis,Society of Jesus 熊三拔,in collaboration with the Chinese official Xu Guangqi 徐光啟,published in 1612 Hydraulic Methods of the Far West(Taixi shuifa 泰西水法),the earliest book in China on Western water-lifting devices,which contained a detailed description of the Archimedean screw pump.While the impact of the Archimedean screw pump in China and Korea remained rather limited,the screw pump was used to drain water from gold mines in the Japanese Sado Island from as early as 1637.This fact became known in the West only in the very late 1800s when hand-colored picture scrolls about the Japanese gold mining process became available.These scrolls show various applications of Archimedean screw,which apparently were made according to the manufacturing instructions in Hydraulic Methods of the Far West.

The concept of an HX-group is an upgrade of the concept of a group,in which a new operation is defined on the family of non-empty subsets of a group.If this new support set together with the new operation is a group,then we call it an HX-group.On the othe
For a partition λ and a prime p,we prove a necessary and sufficient condition for there to exist a composition δ such that δ can be obtained from λ after rearrangement and no partial sums of δ are divisible by p.To demonstrate why we are interested in the
In this article,we compute cohomology groups of the semisimple Lie conformal algebra S =Vir × Cur g with coefficients in its irreducible modules for a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra g.
Let F be the underlying base field of characteristic p ＞ 3 and denote by Γō the even part of the finite-dimensional Lie superalgebra Γ.We give the generator sets of the Lie algebra Γō.Using certain properties of the canonical tori of Γō,we describe explic
Let △(φ,ψ) =(A BMA ANBB) be a Morita ring which is an Artin algebra.In this paper we investigate the relations between the Gorenstein-projective modules over a Morita ring △(φ,ψ) and the algebras A and B.We prove that if △(φ,ψ) is a Gorenstein algebra and
中国杂交水稻技术的发展经历了三个主要的阶段:自1950年代,以袁隆平为代表的杂交水稻研究者探索出水稻杂种优势利用可行性路径,发明了籼型三系杂交水稻.在政府主导下,杂交水稻技术研发团队形成了“大协作”的科研模式,实现了三系配套关、良种选育关和制种关的技术创新.随后十年,袁隆平等发现水稻温光敏雄性不育现象并育成温光敏不育系,两系法育种从科学设想成为现实,具有明显的优越性.此后的25年,中国超级稻育种计划将常规选育、三系、两系选育方法和分子生物技术方法等现代技术统一起来.近半个世纪以来,中国的优良品种取得了突出
Let R be a commutative ring and Г(R) be its zero-divisor graph.We com-pletely determine the structure of all finite commutative rings whose zero-divisor graphs have clique number one,two,or three.Furthermore,if R≌ Ri × R2 × … Rn (each Ri is local for i =1
《泰西水法》(1612年)由意大利耶稣会士熊三拔与中国官员徐光启合著,其中对潮汐成因给出了独特解答,体现了耶稣会士在为传教而译介西方科学思想的过程中所采取的策略性知识转移方法.纵观东西方就潮汐涨落成因从理论上提出的概念化解释可以发现,尽管东西方在宇宙观方面大相径庭,对潮汐的见解却相差无几.然而,为了体现西方科学的优越性,《泰西水法》通过特殊的修辞来论述潮汐,相关段落的撰写分工也较为特别.为了验证熊三拔和徐光启的合作效果,需要将视角从知识传播方转向接收方,进而分析《泰西水法》在后世相关中文著作中的反响.“,
1910～1911年冬春期间发生的东北鼠疫是近代中国最严重的瘟疫,而随后举行的万国鼠疫研究会则是中国第一次主办的国际医学大会.这两件历史事件关系密切,被后人尊称为“近代中国医学先驱”的伍连德在其中扮演了重要的角色.有关东北鼠疫和万国鼠疫研究会的史事有不少论著讨论,有关伍连德的生平事迹也有传记文章,但伍连德与这两件历史事件的密切程度仍有研究的盲点和值得进一步探索之处.本文的第一个论题除了讨论伍连德在整个抗疫活动中所扮演的关键角色外,还反思了伍连德是否是从一个“默默无闻”的医生“一炮而红”,成为东北抗疫斗士;
