An unexpected meeting changed my life

Isn't it amazing how one person, sharing one idea, at the right time and place can change the course of your life's history? This is certainly what happened in ray life. When I was 14, I was hitchhiking from Houston, Texas, through El Paso on my way to California. I was following my dream, journeying with the sun. I was a high school dropout with learning disabilities and was set on surfing the biggest waves in the world, first in California and then in Hawaii, where I would later live.     

火灾后高强钢管混凝土柱轴压的参数化分析

为研究不同参数对火灾后高强钢管混凝土柱受轴压时的性能影响,利用ABAQUS有限元软件模拟火灾后高强钢管混凝土柱轴压模型,对该构件以钢管屈服强度、受火时间、混凝土强度为主要参数进行承载力-位移曲线分析,并剖析火灾后高强钢管混凝土柱典型曲线。结果表明：随着钢管屈服强度和混凝土强度增大,构件极限承载力增大;随着受火时间增加构件极限承载力出现下降趋势;从整体上看,受火时间分别为60、90、120 min时,构件中的混凝土承担主要载荷。     

Greenland glaciers dumping more ice

ST. LOUIS Feb 16,2006 (AP)-Warmer temperatures over the past decade have sped up the march of Greenland's southern glaciers to the Atlantic Ocean, where the ice and water they spill contribute more to the global rise in sea levels than previously thought.     

大学生长跑锻炼的初步探讨

随着工作重点的转移和学校基础理论教学的加强。目前,我国大专院校学生学习任务十分繁重,昔遍存在着每日学习时间过长,活动量很少,学生健康水平不佳,体质下降的情况,应该引起我们足够的重视。对此,虽然教育部门及有关方面一再强调增强学生的体质问题,但缺乏有效措施和具体办法。因此,大学体育面临的一项重要任务,就是设法寻求出适当的体育锻炼方式,提高在校学生的健康水平和不断改善他们的体质状况,以适应四个现代化的要求。     

Study finds more giant pandas

Giant pandas may not be in as much danger of extinction as feared with a new British-Chinese study finding there could be twice as many living in the wild as previously thought, scientists said on June 19. "This finding indicates that the species may have a significantly better chance of long-term viability (生存能力) than recently anticipated, and that this beautiful animal may have a brighter future," the scientists said in a statement. Until now scientists thought there were about 1,590 giant pandas living in reserves in the mountains of China. But scientists from Britain's Cardiff University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences now think there could be as many as 3,000 there after a survey using a new method to profile DNA from panda faces revealed

我的苏醒与救赎

正大家好,我是袁立。我觉得非常诚惶诚恐,因为我是北京电影学院毕业的,我想以我北京电影学院的分数到复旦大学来讲课,实在是不般配。但是我今天是作为一个演员,或者是作为一个尘肺病农民的志愿者来讲,我想我可能有那么一点经验。我是怎么改变的,怎么去关心别人我非常幸运,考上了电影学院。电影学院在我们那一届考上的只有十个人,所以我非常骄傲,觉得我一定是下一个巩俐,我是NO.1。     

法之构成新探

法的构成是法的最基本的范畴,是一切法学研究的起点。法是由“理”、“势”和“事”构成。“理”即法的本质、法的内在的实质构成,包括法的内容、法的价值性、法的真理性和法的规律性。“势”即法的形式、法的外在的形式特征,包括法的执行力、法的强制力、法的制度体系、法的观念和法的秩序。“事”即法的过程、法的事实构成,包括法的制度事实、法的实施过程与法的事实基础。
