Causes of earthquakes

Regions possessing potential energies, lunar and solar pulls and conservation of angular momentum jointly contribute to the occurrences of earthquakes.     

太阳黑子活动周期成因探讨

太阳黑子活动的周期约11年，太阳系九大行星(包括月球)对太阳引潮力合力的极大值周期也是约11年．由此认为，太阳黑子活动可能是由太阳系天体引潮力引起的太阳等离子体的一种潮汐现象．     

时间的移植与匿名——华夏重日节俗的象数土壤及其历法变形

根据传统重日岁时的主体、普遍、系统特点,能够确认它们的本土和原始性质,并溯及其象数土壤。而原始十月历与后来农历的时间错位,能够为多数传统节日的由来提供解释：随着农历取十月历而代之,重日祭仪通过两种变形途径出现在农历中：一是整体摹仿,即移植重日节俗于农历同名日子;二是个别匿名．即在维持十月历时间的同时,部分重日匿名为农历对应日子的名称,如“二月八”、“八月十五”等。     

《易传》的性别形而上学探略

本文主要论述《易传》在宇宙论的基础上建立起关于性别的形而上学，这种性别的形而上学主要体现在：一、阴阳是宇宙和人类两性关系与社会生活的基础。二、刚柔——阴阳的特性与男女两性的理想气质。三、合和——阴阳与男女两性的理想关系。《易传》的性别形而上学有其积极意义。     

谈阳历、农历的闰年

论古蜀人的太阳崇拜和历法

太阳崇拜和历法分别代表着神话和科学,是古蜀人对同一事物的不同认识,都是古蜀文化中的重要因素。从蚕丛氏到开明氏等古蜀人都是崇拜太阳的,他们使用的历法由太阳历向阴阳历发展演变,且都与太阳崇拜有关,不同程度地受到了太阳崇拜的影响。

历法之争下的新年变革——以民国时期上海为中心的考察

辛亥革命以来,现代政权为实现社会的现代化进程,推动社会文明进步,构建政府权威,以政权的力量积极推动习俗变革,推行阳历,变革陋俗。面对民众对传统新年习俗的社会心理认同,南京临时政府与北洋政府默认了阳历新年与农历新年的存在。南京国民政府以强制力推动国历,废除传统新年,但最终不得不承认对于民间习俗不宜过多干涉。民国时期的新年变革深刻揭示着如何正确处理政府与民众、现代与传统的关系。

论今本《周易》卦序编纂的象数依据

今本《周易》卦序的编纂,是以“先天八卦图”和“后天八卦图”这两张图重叠成的“合图”为主要依据,运用多种象数方法,特别是“卦气”学说,通过“三十六卦”的结构形式,用以演示乾坤一元的宇宙周天运动过程,说明日明系统的平衡态被彻底破坏之后地球重新整合的必然性和人类明发展的周期性的大自然法则。     

从铸叔皮父簋铭校正古书中对“一月”的误识

本文从铸叔皮父簋铭文出发,首先论述了作为月名的一月和正月在甲骨文中的更替过程,再论证从西周之后,金文中没有以一月为月名者,由此证明铸叔皮父簋之“一月”在很多著录中旧释不确,当释作“二月”。并以此推断传世文献《逸周书》和《伪古文尚书》中出现的几个“一月”亦当释作“二月”。

The Virtual Solar System Project: Developing Conceptual Understanding of Astronomical Concepts Through Building Three-Dimensional Computational Models

The Virtual Solar System (VSS) course described in this paper is one of the first attempts to integrate three-dimensional (3D) computer modeling as a central component of an introductory undergraduate astronomy course. Specifically, this study assessed the changes in undergraduate university students' understanding of astronomy concepts as a result of participating in an experimental introductory astronomy course in which the students constructed 3D models of different astronomical phenomena. In this study, we examined students' conceptual understanding concerning three foundational astronomical phenomena: the causes of lunar and solar eclipses, the causes of the Moon's phases, and the reasons for the Earth's seasons. Student interviews conducted prior to the course identified a range of student alternative conceptions previously identified in the literature regarding the dynamics and mechanics of the Solar System. A previously undocumented alternative conception to explain lunar eclipses is identified in this paper. The interviews were repeated at the end of the course in order to quantitatively and qualitatively assess any changes in student conceptual understanding. Generally, the results of this study revealed that 3D computer modeling can be a powerful tool in supporting student conceptualization of abstract scientific phenomena. Specifically, 3D computer modeling afforded students the ability to visualize abstract 3D concepts such as the line of nodes and transform them into conceptual tools, which in turn, supported the development of scientifically sophisticated conceptual understandings of many basic astronomical topics. However, there were instances where students' conceptual understanding was incomplete and frequently hybridized with their existing conceptions. These findings have significant bearing on when and in what domains 3D computer modeling can be used to support student conceptual understanding of astronomy concepts.     

MWCNT－H2O纳米流体光热特性实验研究

研究了MWCNT－H2O纳米流体的光学及光热特性,利用紫外-可见-近红外分光光度计结合积分球原理测试了不同质量分数的纳米流体在太阳能全波段（250 nm＜λ＜2500 nm）的透射率。利用太阳辐射对纳米流体的光热转换特性进行了测试。实验结果表明：纳米流体的透射率明显低于水的,并且纳米流体的透射率随着粒子质量分数的增加而降低。纳米流体（质量分数为0.02%）的最高温度比水提高了31.87%,集热量比水增加了54.14%。MWCNT－H2O纳米流体有望用在直接吸收式太阳能集热系统中。     

从七月七到六月六：“晒节”演变考论

农历七月七日是早期的“晒节”,它与人们传说中关于牛女的“七夕节”不是同一回事情,且各有着不同的意义。但是,由于两个节日长期绞缠在一起,故人们将“晒节”改在每年的农历六月初六。现今,关于“晒节”的时间因地而异。     

“山”月与“情”月——简论南朝与初盛唐月诗中月景与诗情之关系

自《月出》始发至南朝,月景实可谓诗情之附庸。月亮在南朝文人的笔下独立出来,在谢灵运为首的山水诗人诗中,我们才看到了真正的山水之月。然而,此时月诗中月景诗情虽搭配合理,但并未圆融。直至初唐诗坛月诗中,月景诗情方才融为一体。中国的月亮文学在李白手中趋于成熟,他将内心情感融入月中,为我们捧出一轮至情之月。在此之后,月诗更是缤纷多彩、发扬光大。     

Using a Planetarium Software Program to Promote Conceptual Change with Young Children

This study explored young children’s understandings of targeted lunar concepts, including when the moon can be observed, observable lunar phase shapes, predictable lunar patterns, and the cause of lunar phases. Twenty-one children (ages 7–9 years) from a multi-aged, self-contained classroom participated in this study. The instructional intervention included lunar data gathering, recording, and sharing, which integrated Starry Night planetarium software and an inquiry-based instruction on moon phases. Data were gathered using semi-structured interviews, student drawings, and a card sorting activity before and after instruction. Students’ lunar calendars and written responses, participant observer field notes, and videotaped class sessions also provided data throughout the study. Data were analyzed using constant comparative analysis. Nonparametric statistical analyses were also performed to support the qualitative findings. Results reflected a positive change in children’s conceptual understanding of all targeted concepts including the cause of moon phases, which is remarkable considering the complexity and abstractness of this spatial task. Results provided evidence that computer simulations may reduce the burden on children’s cognitive capacity and facilitate their learning of complex scientific concepts that would not be possible to learn on their own.     

The Determination of Children’s Knowledge of Global Lunar Patterns from Online Essays Using Text Mining Analysis

The purpose of this study was to use text mining analysis of early adolescents’ online essays to determine their knowledge of global lunar patterns. Australian and American students in grades five to seven wrote about global lunar patterns they had discovered by sharing observations with each other via the Internet. These essays were analyzed for the students’ inclusion of words associated with the shape (i.e., phase), orientation and location of the Moon along with words about similarities and differences. Almost all students wrote about shape but fewer wrote about orientation or location. Students infrequently included words about similarities or differences in the same sentence with shape, orientation or location. Similar to studies about children’s and adults’ lunar misconceptions, it was found that male and female early adolescents also lacked a robust understanding of global lunar patterns.
