墨西哥夫妇巨石下安家居住30年Mexican couple, a hut wedged below a 130-foot boulder in Coahulla, Mexico has been hom e for the past 30 years.对许多人而言,在岩石底下居住这一想法听起来像是笑话。
不过,对于一对墨西哥夫妇来讲,过去三十年,嵌在墨西哥Coahulla州的一块高达130英尺的巨石下的一个棚屋便是他们的家。
A hut wedged below a 130-foot boulder in Coahulla, Mexico has been home for thepast 30 years.A reporter recently visited the couple, Benito Hernandez and Santa Martha de la Cruz Villarreal, in their primitive desert home 50 miles south of Texas. Hernandez is a farmer who plants and collects the Ca ndelilla(蜡大戟) plant used in making Candelilla wax.He first saw this boulder(乱石,大圆石) 55 years ago, when he was eight, and decided to make it a home one day. Twenty years later he was able to secure rights to the land."I started coming here when I was eight-years-old to visit the Candelilla (harvesting) fields and I liked it here. I liked it and then I continued visiting every three to four months. I wasn't married and I didn't have a family yet b ut I liked it and I had to keep coming to put my foot in (on the property) beca use lands here are won through claiming them," Hernandez told the International Business Times.The home, made of sun-dried bricks and cement, has a dirt floor, a wood stove, and no plumbing(水管设施). Elect rical service is said to be unreliable. A nearby stream supp lies fresh drinking water. In winter, though, the water source freezes over."It gets very cold here and we struggle to get food. We have to work hard here o n the C andelilla (fields). That's the only job we have. That's what we live from," said Hernandez.The couple have seven ch ildren, six of whom are married and live nearby.。

jagadish chandra bose阅读理解If you were to see the Great Banyan Tree in the Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden from a distance. you could be forgiven for mistaking it for a forest. Covering more than 14.493 square meters, the tree is the widest in the world. It is so large that it covers more ground than the average Wal-Mart.No one is quite sure exactly how old the Great Banyan Tree is due to the 1ack of official records, but experts guess that the tree is at least 250 years old. The earliest references to the tree have been found in travel writing dating from the 19th century. Over the years, the tree has gone through a lot. Not only has it survived two major disasters in 1864 and 1867; but its main trunk also caught a deadly disease. And because of the disease, the main trunk of the tree needed to be removed in 1925.Despite going through such a major surgery, the Great Banyan Tree proved resilient (能复原的).This is because of thousands of aerial roots(气生根) that grow from the tee's branches and go into the ground. And that is what gives the impression of a full forest ratherthan a single tree.Taking care of this 1arge tree is so difficult that it takes a 13-member team. Not only do they make sure the tree stays healthy. but they also“train" the roots to grow correctly.In Indian culture. banyan trees are among the most venerated. It is considered to be a sacred tree in various religions. For example, in Hinduism, it symbolizes longevity and represents the great God, Brahma. In Buddhism, banyan trees are also significant because it is believed that Buddha sat beneath one for 7 days.Want to see the Great Banyan Tree for yourself? The botanical garden is easily accessible by car or bus from the Kokata city center. As well as the Great Banyan Tree, you can also see a wide variety of plants from all around the world, making it an amazing journey.1、According to the article. the Great Banyan Tree_A. is the tllest tree in the worldB. is the widest tree in the worldC. is the strangest tree in the worldD. has the most branches in the world2、 What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A.

克劳德·麦凯《回到哈莱姆》中的跨国书写
克劳德•麦凯《回到哈莱姆》中的跨国书写舒进艳内容摘要:克劳德•麦凯的《回到哈莱姆》描摹了20世纪早期的黑人跨国体验。
学界主要阐释了作者个人的跨国经历与黑人国际主义思想对小说塑造主要人物的影响,而忽视了小说中副线主人公雷的国籍及其旅居哈莱姆的意义。
雷的跨国移民经历既再现了麦凯的复杂跨国情感与认同经历,又观照了哈莱姆作为流散非裔移居的理想家园与城市黑人社区所承载的空间意涵。
论文提出哈莱姆具有三个维度,作为移民唤起历史记忆的地理空间、建构跨国身份的政治空间及容纳差异的多元文化空间,并考察移民在跨国流动中历经的现代性体验,以此揭示他们通过改变既定身份与重新定义自我而竭力摆脱传统的民族、种族和阶级观念的束缚与身份认同的困惑,从而参与到美国城市的种族空间生产中。

Title: Claude Mckay’s Transnational Writing in Home to HarlemAbstract: Claude McKay’s Home to Harlem depicts the black transnational experience of the early 20th century. Academics mainly studied the influence of McKay’s personal transnational experience and black internationalist thinking on his main character, but neglected the minor plot’s protagonist Ray and his nationality, and the significance of his sojourn in Harlem. Ray’s transnational migration experience not only embodies McKay’s complex transnational feeling and identity experience, but also reflects Harlem’s spatial significance as an ideal home for African diaspora and urban black community. The paper aims to examine Caribbean immigrants’ experience of modernity in Harlem which is interpreted as the geographic space for immigrants to evoke historical memories, the political space for constructing transnational identities and the multicultural space for accommodating differences. It is to prove that they manage to extricate themselves from the shackles of traditional concepts of nation, race and class and their confusion of identity by changing their established identity and redefining themselves, and thus participate in the production of racial space in American cities.60Foreign Language and Literature Research 2 (2021)外国语文研究2021年第2期Key words: Claude Mckay; Home to Harlem; transnational writingAuthor: Shu Jinyan is Ph.

Macroscopic mechanical systems are entering the quantum world
PERSPECTIVES National Science Review2:9–15,2015PHYSICSMacroscopic mechanical systems are entering the quantum world Yong-Chun Liu and Yun-Feng Xiao∗In the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West,the Monkey King has a special power that enables him to be in two or more places simultaneously.Normally, an amazing thing such as this could never happen in real life.However,in the quantum world,where the motions of objects obey the rules of quantum me-chanics,this could happen.These weird quantum rules usually only apply in the microscopic world to atoms and molecules,because quantum properties are generally very fragile in the macro-scopic world.However,scientists have recently been making efforts to push macroscopic and mesoscopic mechanical systems into the quantum world,i.e.they are putting conventional mechanical systems into the quantum mechanical regime.Spring oscillators,swings,and pendu-lum clocks are typical mechanical sys-tems that we often see in daily lives, and they can be described by a basic physical model:the harmonic oscilla-tor.In the quantum regime,harmonic oscillators have some quantum proper-ties,including discrete energy spectra and zero-point motion.To observe these quantum properties,the environmental thermal noise must be suppressed so that the energy of the quantum motion domi-nates over the energy of the thermal mo-tion.To this end,a generic model of a cavity optomechanical system is used, as shown in Fig.1.The system consists of an optical cavity with a fixed mirror and a movable mirror,where the lat-ter is attached to a spring and under-goes harmonic oscillation.A laser beam is launched into the cavity and is reflected multiple times between the two mirrors,and the cavity field thus builds up,re-sulting in a greatly enhanced optical field,which then exerts a considerable force onthe movable mirror.The interaction be-tween the optical field and the mechan-ical motion can reduce the thermal mo-tion noise to enable the fragile quantumproperties to be observed.The study of such systems has pro-duced an emerging field called cavityoptomechanics[1–3].The pioneeringwork was conducted by Braginsky andco-workers in the1960s[4].In recentyears,various experimental systemshave been proposed and investigated,including Fabry–P´e rot cavities[bygroups including MIT/Caltech LIGOLaboratory,the Mavalvala group at MIT,the Aspelmeyer group at the Universityof Vienna,the Heidmann group at theUniversity of Pierre and Marie Curie,and the Bouwmeester group at theUniversity of California,Santa

the Harris group at Yale Univer-sity,the Regal group at Joint Institutefor Laboratory Astrophysics(JILA),theFavero group at Paris Diderot Univer-sity,and the Weig group at the Univer-sity of Munich),superconducting circuits(by groups including the Schwab groupat Caltech,the Lehnert group at JILA,theCleland group at UCSB,and the Teufelgroup at National Institute of Science andTechnology,Boulder),and cold atoms(by groups including the Kimble group atCaltech,the Stamper-Kurn group at theUniversity of California,Berkeley,andthe Treutlein group at the University ofBasel).Cavity optomechanics has beenfeatured as the most recent milestone inphoton history in Nature.The researchin cavity optomechanics is importantto both fundamental physics studiesand the

processing.For instance,optomechanical devices can serve as information storage devices and act as interfaces between light beams with different wavelengths or even microwaves.In the last few years,researchers have made considerable efforts to put mechanical systems into their quan-tum ground states [5].Recent efforts have demonstrated optomechanically induced transparency [6],normal-mode splitting [7],quantum-coherent coupling [8],wavelength conversion [9],and measurements performed below the standard quantum limit [10].Future de-velopments will aim to integrate different quantum systems to form hybrid quan-tum devices,e.g.hybrid optomechanical and electromechanical systems.In this way,we can enable phonons,photons,and electrons to work together in the quantum world.Recent years have seen rapidly grow-ing interest in the field of cavity optome-chanics.As shown in Fig.2,the publica-tions and citations in this field have grown exponentially.The now booming devel-opment in this field will turn the dream of manipulating macroscopic mechani-cal systems in a quantum manner into reality.Yong-Chun Liu and Yun-Feng Xiao ∗School of Physics,Peking University,China;Collaborative

mi-croorganisms.As the first line in this army,the innate immune system,com-posed of myeloid cells (dendritic cells and macrophages),some lymphocytes (NK cells and innate lymphocytes as well as some types of T lymphocytes such as NKT cells and γδT cells)and other cells in our body,can quickly mountinflammatory responses after the spe-cific receptors in these cells recognize the pathogen-associated pattern molecules inside or outside host cells.The adap-tive immune system,consisting of B and T lymphocytes,is slower in their acti-vation,but it is more specific in their antigenic recognition and long-lasting,owing to the generation of memory lym-phocytes.Two major types of T lym-phocytes that carry αβT cell receptorshave different functions—those express the CD4molecule secrete cytokines to regulate immune function and are called helper T cells,while those express CD8co-receptor are called cytotoxic T lym-phocytes (CTL)and can directly kill cells infected by viruses.The immune system has an intimate relationship with cancer.Immune cells,such as myeloid cells and lymphocytes,are frequently found in the tumor。

By 1837, British had long been an empire which included the colonies in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and many small states in the West Indies. By the end of 19th century, the British Empire included a quarter of the global population and nearly a quarter of the world's landmass. During the mid-19th century, the British government consolidated the existing colonies by bringing them under the direct control of the government. Before World War 1, Britain had the largest colonial empire in the world. However, Britain suffered great loss to its manpower in the two World Wars and exhausted its reserves of gold, dollars and overseas investment. Most of Britain's colonies gained independence since the 1940s, which inevitably led to the fall the Empire.1.

Apart from the parties' own publicity, newspapers and TV programs spend a lot of time discussing the campaign, interviewing politicians, and predicting the results.2. What is the Commonwealth of Nations?----The Commonwealth of Nations is a voluntary association of independent sovereign states, all of which acknowledge the British monarch as the head. The Commonwealth is not a political union of any sort, and its member states have full autonomy to manage their internal and external affairs. It is primarily an organization in which countries with diverse economic backgrounds have an opportunity for close and equal interaction after gaining independence. The major activities of the Commonwealth are designed to advocate democracy, human rights, and to promote economic cooperation and growth within its members.1. What was the negative aspect of Thatcher's reform in the early 1980s? ----Its negative aspect was a rapid increase in unemployment. In 1982, the unemployment rate reached the level of the Great Depression years, with three million people out of work.2. What are the characteristics of Britain's agriculture?----British's agriculture is characterized by a small portion of the population engaged in agricultural activities with a high degree of mechanization.

Third, British was forced to maintain an expensive military presence in many overseas locations until the end of 1960s. Fourth, British had to make substantial financial contributions to NATO and UN Security Council. Finally, British failed to invest in industry after World War 2 whereas its competitors like Germany and Japan caught up with British buy investing in the most modern equipment and means of production.2. Why do developed nations like Britain encourage the development of the service industry?----The service industry has played an increasingly important role in economy in the development countries. On the other hand ,it requires a large group of people working in it so that abundant employmentopportunities are provided. On the other hand, the service industry causes little pollution.1.

However, high tuition fees have become an obstacle for many students to enroll.2. The "quality press" and the "tabloids" in Britain?----Among the 10 daily published national newspapers in British, about half of them are regarded as the "quality press" since they carry in-depth articles of particular political and social importance, and reviews and feature articles about "high culture", and they are generally read by well-educated people. The Times, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph are good cases in point of the quality press. The "tabloids", with color photos and striking headlines, usually cover scandals and gossip about celebrities in politics, sports and entertainment. A typical example is The News of the World.Chapter 81. How is the American population distributed?The distribution of the American population is rather uneven the most densely populated region is the northeastern part of the country. The great plains have a comparatively small population .the south also has a population of almost . the west is not densely populated ,except for some metropolitan centers like los Angeles and san Francisco . it has about 20% of the nation’s population.2. Why was the immigration act of 1942 instituted ?The new immigrants in the united states , being poor and accustomed to poverty , were willing to work for very low wages .this made other workers afraid that the immigrants would ls and take jobs away from them . this opposition led to the immigration act of 1942.1.Why is the United States regarded as a”melting pot” and a ”salad bowl” ?The United States is not merely a nation, but a nation of nations. The immigrants came in waves, including the Europeans, the Africans and the Asians. Therefore, America is described as a "melting pot" where various racial and ethnic groups are assimilate into American culture. Recently, America has been called a "salad bowl" in that people of difference races and ethnic groups mix harmoniously, but at the same time keep their distinct culture and customs.2.What do you think is the best way to help assimilation in a multicultural society?The best possible way to help assimilation in a multicultural society is to be open and tolerant toward different cultures. People from different racial and ethnic backgrounds should respect each other. Society should create opportunities to help immigrants become assimilated. At the same time the immigrants should keep their own language, customs and religion, contributing to the diversity of a multicultural society.Chapter 91. Why did American change its policy and enter world war II?Because of the formation of the axis , the American government feared that the axis countries were wining the war and it might threaten America’s security and interests . it began to provide war equipment to the foreign nations resisting the aggression of the axis power . the Japanese air raid on pearl harbor became the direct cause for America’s entrance into the war.2. What were Nixon’s well-known contributions during his presidency?a) brought the Vietnam war to a closeb)reestablishing . relations with chinac) negotiating the firststrategic arms limitation treaty with the former soviet union .3. What were the contents of Reagan’s economic program?Reagan’s economic program called for reductions in income taxes and business taxes in order to encourage investment , and it also requested that many government regulations be eliminated so as to reduce the federal government’s role in the day-to-day operation of business.1. What was the cause of the American Civil War?The Southern planters of America needed a large number of black African slaves to manage their plantations and they regarded the slaves as their property. In the North, with the development of industry, there was a growing demand for free labor. What’s more, the Northerners demanded a law to protect tariffs and asked the government to finance the building of railways and roads. But the Southerners were against it and advocatedfree trade so as to purchase cheaper goods from foreign countries. The accumulating conflicts led to the division of the North and the South and finally the American Civil War.2. What made the United States a powerful country by the end of World War II?During the two World Wars, America remained neutral in the early stage. However, Americans continued their profitable trade with the warring countries. Therefore, they not only retained their military forces, but also accumulated great wealth. When America entered the wars, it was almost at the end of the wars. By sharing the fruit of victory with other allies, America greatly strengthened its power and became a powerful country by the end of World War II.Chapter 101. What are the two characteristics of the . constitution?One is “checks and balances”, the other is that the power of the central government and the powers of state governments are specified.2. What are the qualifications for a senator and a representative respectively?A senator must be over 30 years old , a . citizen for at least nine years, and a resident in the state which they represent . a representative should be at least 25 years old and a . citizen for no less than seven years.3. What are the major powers of the supreme court?a) to interpret lawsb) to hear appeals from any federal court cases;c) to hear appeals from state court cases that involve the constitution or national laws d) may declare a law unconstitutionale) may declare a presidential act unconstitutional4. What is the difference between the democrats and the republicans in terms of political opinions?The democrats want the government to play an important role in the economy and emphasize full employment as a matter of national concern they favor civil rights laws , a strong social security system which gives enterprises a greater freedom and demand that the government control inflation. They stress the need for law and order, and oppose complete government social programs and free choice of abortion they also favor a strong military posture and assertive stand in international relations.1. How is the American President voted into office? What are your ideas about the American election?Each party holds its national convention every four years to choose a candidate for presidency. To win a presidential election, a candidate has to spend millions of dollars, travel all over the country to make speeches and debate on television with the rival. The general election is technically divided into two stages. During the first stage, presidential electors for each state will be chosen. In the second stage the electors meet and vote a President. Since the second stage is only a kind of formality, everyone knows who will be the next President an soon as the first stage is over.I think the candidates spend too much money on the electoral campaigns. And, the election cannot solve the social and economic problems of the . as some candidates do not keep their word after they become President.2. What was President Eisenhowers foreign policy and what were the consequences ?President Eisenhower made vigorous efforts to wage the Cold War. He placed new emphasis on developing nuclear strength to prevent the outbreak of war. He also frequently authorized the CIA to undertake secret interventions to overthrow unfriendly governments or protect reliable anti-communist leaders whose power was threatened. The CIA helped topple the governments of Iran and Guatemala, but it suffered an embarrassing failure in Indonesia. In addition, Eisenhower used . power and prestige to help create a non-communist government in South Vietnam, which brought disastrous long-term consequences to the United States.Chapter 111. What industry developments took place during the colonial period of America?During the colonial period ,the secondary industries developed as the colonies grew . a variety of specialized sawmills and gristmills appeared. Colonists established shipyards to build fishing fleets and trading vessels . they also built small iron forges . by the 18th century , regional patterns of development in America had become clear.2. How did the civil war affect the American economy?After the civil war , the large southern cotton plantations became much less profitable . northern industries , which had expanded rapidly because of the demands of the war ,surged ahead.3. Why does America try to reduce trade barriers?Because the united states has increasingly realized that open bilateral trade will not only advance its own economic interests, but also enhance domestic stability and its peaceful relationship with other nations.1. How did the constitution lay the groundwork for American’s economic development ?The . Constitution, as an economic charter, established that the entire nation was a unified or "common" market. There were no tariffs or taxes on interstate commerce. It provided that the federal government could regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the states, establish uniform bankruptcy laws, create money and regulate its value, fix standards of weights and measures, establish post office and roads, and fix rules governing patents and copyrights. The last-mentioned clause was an early recognition of the importance of "intellectual property", a matter that began assuming great importance in trade negotiations since the late 20thcentury.2. Cite examples to illustrate the role of government intervention in America's economic development.The government has always played an active and important role in America’s economic development. In the early 1930s,thr United States suffered the worst economic depression in American history. President Roosevelt introduced the New Deal to tackle the financial crisis. Besides, he set up the New York State Emergency Relief Commission to help those in desperate need and tried to relieve the serious problems of the jobless. At the end of 1970s, the American economy again suffered a recession. TheReagan administration combated inflation by controlling government spending deficit, cutting taxes and raising interest rates. Both policies mentioned above helped to set the country’s economic development on its right course, In all, the intervention of the government has ensured that economic opportunities are fair and accessible to the people. It has prevented flagrant abuses of the system, dampened the effects of inflation and stimulated economic growth.Chapter 121. How does an American university choose its applicants?a)their high school records;b) recommendations from their high school teachers;c) the impression they make during interviews at the university;d) their scores on the SAT.2. What functions do American higher education institutions perform?Higher education institutions in the united states have three functions: teaching , research and public service , and each has its own emphasis with regard to its function .3. What similarities do four famous university share?They all have a long history , they all have an excellent faculty , a large number of students and have made extensive academic achievements. Some of their graduates are very successful or influential in some areas such as politics, arts and business.4. What are the origins of thanksgiving day?Thanksgiving is associated with the time when Europeans first came to the new world , in 1620,the mayflower arrived and brought about 150 pilgrims. Life at the beginning was very hard and there was not enough food , so many of them died. During the following summer the native America helped them and then they had a bountiful harvest. So they held a big celebration to thank god and the native Americans.1. What are the ideals that guide the American educational system?The first ideal is that as many people as possible should receive as much education as possible .The second ideal is that of ptoducing a society that is totally literate and of local control . The third ideal is that scholars and students should work to discover new information or conceive new ways to understand what is already known .2. How does America carry out multicultural education?American schools routinely teach the experiences and values of many ethnic cultures. Current textbooks incorporate a variety of ethnic individuals who have achieved success. Struggle for equality are vividly depicted, and past racism is bluntly acknowledged. Cultural pluralism is now generally recognized as the organizing principle of at all levels offer students opportunities to learn about different cultures.。

The Formation of Coral Reefs and Atolls
The Formation of Coral Reefs and Atolls Coral reefs and atolls are some of the most fascinating and diverse ecosystems on the planet. They are formed from the accumulation of calcium carbonate exoskeletons of coral polyps, which are tiny, invertebrate animals that live in colonies. These structures provide a habitat for a wide variety of marine life, including fish, invertebrates, and algae. The formation of coral reefs and atolls is a complex process that involves geological, biological, and environmental factors.One of the key factors in the formation of coral reefs and atolls is the presence of suitable substrate for coral growth. Coral polyps require a hard surface on which to attach and grow, and they typically thrive in warm, shallow, clear waters. As the polyps grow and reproduce, they form colonies that eventually build up into large, solid structures. Over time, the accumulation of coral skeletons creates the framework for a reef or atoll.The geological processes that contribute to the formation of coral reefs and atolls are also important to consider. Reefs often form along the edges of continents or around volcanic islands, where the ocean floor is relatively shallow. As the Earth's tectonic plates shift and move, these areas can experience changes in sea level and land elevation, which can impact the growth and development of coral reefs. Additionally, the presence of ocean currents and wave action can influence the shape and structure of reefs, as well as the distribution of coral species.In addition to geological factors, biological processes play a crucial role in the formation of coral reefs and atolls. Coral polyps rely on a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae called zooxanthellae, which live within their tissues and provide them with essential nutrients. This relationship allows corals to thrive in nutrient-poor waters, but it also makes them sensitive to environmental stressors such as changes in temperature and water quality. When corals are stressed, they can expel their zooxanthellae, a process known as coral bleaching, which can have devastating effects on reef ecosystems.The environmental conditions in which coral reefs and atolls form and grow are also significant. These ecosystems are typically found in tropical and subtropical regions, wherethe water is warm and clear. The availability of sunlight is crucial for the photosynthetic processes of both corals and their symbiotic algae, so reefs are most commonly found in shallow waters where light can penetrate. Additionally, the stability of water temperature and chemistry is important for the health and growth of coral reefs, as they are sensitive to changes in conditions such as ocean acidification and pollution.Human activities also play a role in the formation and degradation of coral reefs and atolls. Overfishing, destructive fishing practices, coastal development, and pollution can all have negative impacts on reef ecosystems. Additionally, climate change is a major threat to coral reefs, as rising sea temperatures and ocean acidification are causing widespread coral bleaching and mortality. Conservation efforts, such as marine protected areas and sustainable fishing practices, are essential for the preservation of these valuable and vulnerable ecosystems.In conclusion, the formation of coral reefs and atolls is a complex and dynamic process that involves a combination of geological, biological, and environmental factors. These ecosystems are not only incredibly diverse and beautiful, but they also provide important ecological and economic benefits. Understanding the processes that shape coral reefs and atolls is crucial for their conservation and management, especially in the face of growing threats from human activities and climate change. As stewards of the natural world, it is our responsibility to protect and preserve these irreplaceable ecosystems for future generations.。
飞鸟集(英语)
The fish in the water is silent, the ani mal on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. But man has in him the silence of the sea,the noise of the earth and the music of the air. 水里的游鱼是沉默的,陆地上的兽类 是喧闹的,空中的飞鸟是歌唱着 的。 但是,人类却兼有海里的沉默, 地上的喧闹与空中的音乐。
鸟翼上系上了黄金, 这鸟便永不能再在天 上翱翔了。
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn,which have no songs,flutter and fall there with a sign.
夏天的飞鸟,飞到我的窗前唱歌,又飞去了。 秋天的黄叶,它们没有什么可唱, 只叹息一声,飞落在那里。
They throw their shadows before them who carry their lantern on their back.
那些把灯背在背上的人,把 他们的影子投到了自己前面。
We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.
我们把世界看错了,反说它 欺骗我们。
If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.
如果你因失去了太阳而流泪, 那么你也将失去群星了。

It is also uncertain where the absorbed radiation may be re-radiated.Approximately∼7per cent of X-ray sources in the Chandra Deep Field North are sub-millimetre sources (Barger et al.2001b),however whether this is the result of reprocessed nuclear emission or due to a starburst compo-nent,is unknown.Almaini et al.(2003)find evidence for a strong angular cross-correlation between the X-ray and sub-millimetre populations.They suggests there may be an evolutionary sequence in these galaxies between the major episode of star-formation(sub-millimetre sources)and the onset of quasar activity(X-ray sources).To more fully un-derstand the nature of these sources will require in-depth multi-wavelength studies of the X-ray source population.We are conducting a deep X-ray survey with Chandra and XMM in two of the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS)fields,N1and N2.These high latitudefields were chosen for their low cirrus emission,and have a wealth of multi-wavelength data available.Bothfields have been ob-served with ISO at7,15,90,and175µm(Oliver et al. 2000),with the VLA at1.4GHz(Ciliegi et al.1999,Ivi-son et al.2002),and have deep g′,r′,i′,H,and K imaging (Gonzalez-Solares et al.2003).Region N2has been mapped with SCUBA to8mJy at850µm(Fox et al.2001,Scott et al.2001).As well as the Chandra observations described here,XMM-Newton observations in region N1(5×30ksec pointings)are awaiting scheduling.In this paper we present the analysis of the Chandra X-ray data and the Chandra source catalogue.Paper II (Gonzalez-Solares et al.2003)will present details of the op-tical identifications.2THE X-RAY DATAThe ELAIS Deep X-ray Survey(EDXS)is being conducted in the northern ELAIS regions N1and N2.The Chandra data consists of approximately75ks exposures in eachfield. Region N1was observed on3-4August2000(OBSID887).The nominal aim-points were N1:16:10:20.11+54:33:22.3,and N2:16:36:46.99 +41:01:33.7.The ACIS-I chips were used with the addition of ACIS-S2and ACIS-S4.Analysis was carried out on data reprocessed with ver-sion R4CU5UPD14.1of the pipeline processing software. The data were reduced using the CIAO software package (version2.1).Bad pixels and columns were removed and data werefiltered to eliminate high background times.The latter was achieved through constructing a lightcurve for background regions and identifying periods of intense back-ground activity due to solarflares.One obviousflaring pe-riod was identified over the course of the observations result-ing in the removal of1552seconds from the data in region N1.More stringent conditions for the removal of high back-ground times were not thought necessary considering the low level of the quiescent background.Afterfiltering,exposures infields N1and N2were71.5ks and73.4ks respectively.Exposure maps were constructed to account for varia-tions in effective exposure across an image.This incorpo-rates the positions of bad pixels,dithering,and vignetting. The effective exposure is significantly affected by the en-ergy of the source counts.To account for this,an assumed source spectrum is convolved with the quantum efficiency of the chip and the effective area of the mirrors.The resulting map provides an estimate of the effective exposure(cm−2 s−1)at each point on the image.For our images,we used a power-law model spectrum,with photon indexΓ=1.7.3SOURCE DETECTIONSources were detected using a wavelet method,specifi-cally the W AVDETECT program(Freeman et al.2002)in-cluded with the CIAO software package.The“Mexican Hat”wavelet function is used,which consists of a positive core similar to a canonical PSF,surrounded by a negative an-nulus.The overall normalisation is zero.The zero-crossing point is at a radius of√2,4,4√2, 16,16√The ELAIS Deep X-ray Survey I3 counts were reinstated.Only sources obtained in the originalsource detection were used.W AVDETECT simulations(Freeman et al.2002)suggesta mean of1.0false sources will be detected over the regionof the4ACIS-I chips.We also impose a cut-offat a S/N of3.0,principally,for the purpose of defining aflux limit.Thishas the effect of removing a handful of the least significantsources,further improving the reliability of the sample.The detection efficiency of W AVDETECT is yet to bedefinitively determined.Early simulations have been doneby V.Kashyap(private communication)to determine theprobability of detecting sources of given strengths.In orderto gain an indication of the number of sources missing fromour list of detections,we have made crude extrapolations tothese simulations.These indicate that we detect∼98.5–99.5%of the sources with intrinsic strengths above the S/Nlimit of our sample.4THE CHANDRA SOURCE CATALOGUEA total of233X-ray sources have been detected in the2fields(Fig.1).In N1there are127sources in the full band(0.5-8keV),101in the soft band(0.5-2keV)including2extra sources not detected in the full band,and72sourcesin the hard band(2-8keV)including1extra source notdetected in the full band.There are57sources detected inboth the soft and hard bands.In N2there are98sources inthe full band,81in the soft

flux for a source with spectral slope αgiven the fluxes quoted in the source cat-alogue (which assumes α=0.7).This figure has been calculated by passing model spectra of slope αthrough the total response matrix of the detector at a position corresponding to the source N123which lies 4.5arcmin from the fieldcentre.5SOURCE COUNTSIn this section we calculate the cumulative source counts,N(>S),and the differential source counts,n(S),in the three bands.We first outline details of the calculation (section 5.1)which requires knowledge of the available area of the survey as a function of flux.Section 5.2presents our results and comparisons with other surveys,while section 5.3describes our source contribution to the hard X-ray background.5.1Calculating source countsN(>S)is defined as the sum of the reciprocal areas avail-able for detecting each source that is brighter than flux S.It follows that n(S)is the sum of reciprocal areas per flux interval.The sky area over which a source of flux S may be observed depends on the flux limit at each point in the im-age.This,in turn,depends on the variation in PSF size and effective exposure across the image.The flux limit (S lim in erg cm −2s −1)may be defined by the chosen S/N limit of our sample (from equation 1):S/N lim =3=C lim /(1+√0.75+(B avg ×PSF size)The ELAIS Deep X-ray Survey

Yang et al.(2003)has shown that such clustering is common in the Chandra source pop-ulation.A striking feature of the number count relations is the difference in slope between soft and hard band counts.Fig.6over-plots the soft and hard band counts normalised to an equivalent full band flux.Normalisation is done in order to plot both populations on the same flux scale and does not affect the slope of the number counts.The hard band sources are assumed to have hard spectra and so are arbitrarily nor-malised using an alpha of 0.The soft band sources are arbi-trarily normalised assuming a soft spectrum with an alpha of 1.The ratio of hard sources to soft sources is seen to increase dramatically towards fainter fluxes.This can be ex-plained through the mechanism of obscuration,which

likelihood fit from Cowie et al.(2002)to the com-bined counts from four deep fields (CDFN,CDFS,SSA22,&SSA13).These are found to be in good agreement with the error limits of our survey.5.3Contribution to the hard X-ray backgroundFig.8plots the integrated source flux for our survey (filled circles)for all sources with S <10−13erg cm −2s −1.At the flux limit of S 2−8=2.2×10−15erg cm −2s −1the resolved flux amounts to 8.5×10−12erg cm −2s −1deg −2.This is equivalent to between 50and 64%of the 2-8keV back-ground measured by Vecchi et al.(1999,Beppo-Sax)and Ueda et al.(1999,ASCA)respectively.To arrive at these values for the total background (as plotted in Fig.8)the contribution from sources with S >10−13erg cm −2s −1,as observed by ASCA (Della Ceca et al.1999),has been subtracted.The contribution to the background at fainter fluxes has been extrapolated from the source counts of the CDFN survey (Brandt et al.2001).By combining the re-sults of our survey with that of CDFN the contribution to the background within the flux range 10−13-6×10−16ergThe ELAIS Deep X-ray Survey I7-15.5-15.0-14.5-14.0-13.5-13.0log S X (0.5 - 2 keV) (ergs s -1 cm -2)l o

compare the contributions from other surveys,we have used the best fit to the source counts as published by Mushotzky et al.(2000),and Giacconi et al.(2001,120ks exposure of CDFS).These have been normalised at the bright end using the number counts of ASCA sources from Della Ceca et al.(1999)to a bright limit of 10−13erg cm −2s −1.The observed discrepancy between the different surveys may be due to the effects of clustering on scales larger than the survey regions.6STAR/GALAXY CLASSIFICATIONDeep multicolour optical images have been obtained in both our fields,and will be discussed fully in Gonzalez-Solares et al.(2003).They have identified the optical counterparts of our X-ray sources in r ′band images with limiting mag-nitudes of ∼26.Source optical morphologies are classified according to agreement with a stellar point spread func-tion,as quantified in the SExtractor “stellarity”parameter,CLASS STAR (Bertin &Arnouts 1996).The output of a neural network classifier,the value of this parameter ranges from 0.0for significantly extended sources to 1.0for those with perfectly stellar PSFs.For our Chandra sample,we di-vide sources with quasar-like and galaxy-like counterparts at CLASS STAR =0.8.In practice,morphological classifica-tion is increasingly ambiguous for fainter sources with lower signal to noise and cannot be considered reliable near to the image limiting magnitude.A number of X-ray sources remain unclassified where they are associated with blank fields,gaps in the data,or are near to bright contaminating sources in the optical images.The cumulative soft-band sourcecounts for each group have been calculated and are plotted in Fig.9.At bright X-ray fluxes quasar-like sources are the most numerous.How-ever their number counts flatten appreciably below a flux of ∼5×10−15erg cm −2s −1.At fainter fluxes the fraction of galaxy-like sources dramatically increases.At the flux limitFlux (ergs s -1 cm -2)r / b a n d m a g n i t u d eFigure 10.X-ray

as spectroscopically confirmed stars (large stars)and spectroscopically confirmed Type II AGN (dia-monds).of 4.6×10−16erg cm −2s −1there are 35%more galaxy-like sources than quasar-like sources.An X-ray luminosity function (XLF)from Boyle et al.(1994)invoking pure luminosity evolution,was used to ob-tain number count predictions for broad-line AGN.This was based on observations of 107QSOs from a deep ROSAT sur-vey.These QSOs reached a flux limit of ∼5×10−15erg cm −2s −1in the 0.5-2keV band.We use their best fitting model (model S),with an exponential decline in the quasar population beyond z =2.7,to construct a prediction for the soft band QSO number counts.This is over-plotted in Fig.9(solid line)to compare with the cumulative number counts for sources with quasar-like optical IDs.The Boyle XLF also includes relatively low luminosity AGN which may possibly be resolved into galaxies in our r ′band images.A second model has therefore been added which excludes AGN with a 0.5-2keV luminosity less than 1043.5erg s −1(dotted line).The models are well matched to the data up to the flux limit of the ROSAT survey.However,beyond this they over-predict the number of quasar-like sources.In the limiting case where all the unclassified sources are stellar,the data becomes a good fit to the first model.In the more likely outcome that most of the unclassified objects are galaxies,the data may still be a reasonable fit to the Boyle XLF as long as a luminosity cut-offis applied.In Fig.10we plot full band X-ray flux vs.r ′band magni-tude for our Chandra sources (compare with Fig.3of Barger et al.2002,Fig.16of Giacconi et al.2002,Fig.6of Mainieri et al.2002).In this figure,as in those in section 7,we indi-cate source morphology only for sources with r ′<24,which have unambiguous classifications.Over-plotted are lines of constant X-ray to optical ratio,appropriate for the Sloan Gunn r ′filter:log(f X2.5(9)Among point-like sources optical luminosity is seen to scale

contrast,sources with galaxy-like morphology show no tight relation between X-ray and optical fluxes,suggesting that the host galaxies and not the central AGN dominate the optical emission.Four

The Chandra Observation of the IP TX Col

serendipitous observa-tion of the intermediate polar TX Col by Chandra .The ∼52ksec ob-servation is uninterrupted,providing an opportunity to disentangle the light curve and power spectra components.We illustrate the energy-dependence of the power spectrum.1.IntroductionTX Col is a 15-th mag object discovered by HEAO-1(Wood et al.1984)and recognized as an intermediate polar in 1985/6(Buckley et al.1985;Tuohy et al.1986).Its orbital period is 20,592sec with a spin period of ∼1910sec (Tuohy et al 1986;Mhlahlo et al.,these proceedings).2.Chandra ObservationTX Col was observed by Chandra on 2000July 26/27for ∼53ksec (observation identification number 914);the target was the cluster of galaxies Cl J0542.8-4100to measure the X-ray temperature function of clusters (e.g.,Ikebe et al.2002).The cluster was within 1′of the aimpoint,placing TX Col ∼6′.7arcmin off-axis on CCD 1of the ‘imaging’portion of the ACIS detector.Figure 1shows the Chandra field-of-view showing that 5ACIS CCDs were active during the observation.TX Col and the galaxy cluster are indicated.The estimated count rate was ∼0.57counts s −1with a background rate of 0.006counts s −1.Both values were obtained by extracting the counts in circles of radii 0.3and 1arcmin,respectively.The background circle was displaced from the position of TX Col by ∼2′because TX Col falls sufficiently close to the edge of the CCD that ∼half of an annulus centered on TX Col’s position would have extended beyond the chip’s edge.A narrow rectangular region was excluded from the outer portions of the TX Col extraction to eliminate the presence of the frame transfer events.The off-axis angle reduces the effects of event pileup (Davis 2001).The streak caused by the frame transfer determines the position of TX Col along the CCD columns.We adopted the peak number of events on that line as the12Schlegel &SalinasFigure 1.Chandra ACIS field-of-view of TX Col.N ETX ColCl J0542.8−4100:10:05:55:50−41:0005 :4305 :42center of the observed point spread function.We extracted a radial profile using 21elliptical annuli spread across ∼21pixels (∼10′′.5);a theoretical point spread function was generated from the Chandra PSF library at the observed off-axis angle.The two functions agreed to better than 5%in the core of the profile and indicated that pileup is at most a minor component of the TX Col observation.3.Light CurvesWe filtered the events into three energy bands:0.5-1.5,1.5-4,and 4-8keV in an effort to separate the high energy source emission and the low-energy absorption.The middle band served simply to permit defining a color.We extracted the events and binned them into 20bins folded on the spin period of 1910sec.We arbitrarily adopted the time of the first Chandra event as the starting point for the phasing for this preliminary analysis.Figure 2shows the result.The zero point is incorrect by ∼0.5in phase (depending upon how one defines the ‘peak’).The soft band shows a humped behavior approximately symmetric about the maximum.The medium band shows a steeper rise to maximum with a gradual fall.The hard band is flattened with perhaps a steep rise just after phase 0.0.Figure 3(top)shows the complete ACIS light curve,∼52ksec or ∼26spin cycles in length.We can easily count the spin cycles,but note that the envelope of the amplitudes changes significantly across the observation.Figure 3(bottom)expands a portion of the full light curve to show the significant changes in amplitude among individual spin cycles.APS Conf.Ser.Style 3Figure 2.Energy-filtered light

托福阅读机经训练:拉斯科岩洞画
托福阅读机经训练:拉斯科岩洞画Lascaux Cave PaintingsIn Southwest France in the 1940’s, playing children discovered Lascaux Grotto, a series of narrow cave chambers that contain huge prehistoric paintings of animals. Many of these beasts are as large as 16 feet (almost 5 meters). Some follow each other in solemn parades, but others swirl about, sideways and upside down. The animals are bulls, wild horses, reindeer, bison, and mammoths outlined with charcoal and painted mostly in reds, yellow, and browns. Scientific analysis reveals that the colors were derived from ocher and other iron oxides ground into a fine powder. Methods of applying color varied: some colors were brushed or smeared on rock surfaces and others were blown or sprayed. It is possible that tubes made from animal bones were used for spraying because hollow bones, some stained with pigment, have been found nearby.One of the most puzzling aspects of the paintings is their location. Other rock paintings—for example, those of Bushmen in South Africa—are either located near cave entrances or completely in the open. Cave paintings in France and Spain, however, are in recesses and caverns far removed from original cave entrances. This means that artists were forced to work in cramped spaces and without sources of natural light. It also implies that whoever made them did not want them to be easily found. Since cave dwellers normally lived close to entrances, there must have been some reason why so many generations of Lascaux cave dwellers hid their art.Scholars offer three related but different opinions about the mysterious origin and significance of these paintings. One opinion is that the paintings were a record of seasonal migrations made by herds. Because some paintings were made directly over others, obliterating them, it is probable that a painting’s value ended with the migration it pictured. Unfortunately, this explanation fails to explain the hidden locations, unless the migrations were celebrated with secret ceremonies.Another opinion is that the paintings were directly related to hunting and were an essential part of a special preparation ceremony. This opinion holds that the pictures and whatever ceremony they accompanied were an ancient method of psychologically motivating hunters. It is conceivable that before going hunting the hunters would draw or study pictures of animals and imagine a successful hunt. Considerable support exists for this opinion because several animals in the pictures are wounded by arrows and spears. This opinion also attempts to solve the overpainting by explaining that an animal’s picture had no further use after the hunt.A third opinion takes psychological motivation much further into the realm of tribal ceremonies and mystery: the belief that certain animals assumed mythical significance as ancient ancestors or protectors of a given tribe or clan. Two types of images substantiate this theory: the strange, indecipherable geometric shapes that appear near some animals, and the few drawings of men. Wherever men appear they are crudely drawn and their bodies are elongated and rigid. Some men are in a prone position and some have bird or animal heads. Advocates for this opinion point to reports from people who have experienced a trance state, a highly suggestive state of low consciousness between waking and sleeping. Uniformly, these people experienced weightlessness and the sensation that their bodies were being stretched lengthwise. Advocates also point to people who believe that the forces of nature are inhabited by spirits, particularly shamans* who believe that an animal’s spirit and energy is transferred to them while in a trance. One Lascaux narrative picture, which shows a man with a birdlike head and a wounded animal, would seem to lend credence to this third opinion, but there is still much that remains unexplained. For example, where is the proof that the man in the picture is a shaman? He could as easily be a hunter wearing a headmask. Many tribal hunters, including some Native Americans, camouflaged themselves by wearing animal heads and hides.Perhaps so much time has passed that there will never be satisfactory answers to the cave images, but their mystique only adds to their importance. Certainly a great art exists, and by its existence reveals that ancient human beings were not without intelligence, skill, and sensitivity.Shamans: holy people who act as healers and divinersParagraph 1: In Southwest France in the 1940’s, playing children discovered Lascaux Grotto, a series of narrow cave chambers that contain huge prehistoric paintings of animals. Many of these beasts are as large as 16 feet (almost 5 meters). Some follow each other in solemn parades, but others swirl about, sideways and upside down.

What are the bones found in the Lascaux caves believed to indicate? (4)○Wild animals sometimes lived in the cave chambers.○Artists painted pictures on both walls and bones.○Artists ground them into a fine powder to make paint.○Artists developed special techniques for painting the walls.Paragraph 2: One of the most puzzling aspects of the paintings is their location.

Since cave dwellers normally lived close to entrances, there must have been some reason why so many generations of Lascaux cave dwellers hid their art.4. Why does the author mention Bushmen in South Africa in paragraph 2? (2)○To suggest that ancient artists from all over the world painted animals on rocks○To contrast the location of their rock paintings to those found at Lascaux○To support the claim that early artists worked in cramped spaces○To give an example of other artists who painted in hidden locations5. What can be inferred from paragraph 2 about cave painters in France and Spain? (3)○They also painted rocks outside caves.○They did not live close to the cave entrances.○They developed their own sources of light to use while painting.○Their painting practices did not last for many years.Paragraph 3: Scholars offer three related but different opinions about the mysterious origin and significance of these paintings.

The word “accompanied”in the passage is closest in meaning to(3)○represented○developed into○were associated with○came after8. According to paragraph 4, why do some scholars believe that the paintings were related to hunting? (3)○Because some tools used for painting were also used for hunting○Because cave inhabitants were known to prefer animal food rather than plant food○Because some of the animals are shown wounded by weapons○Because many hunters were also typically paintersParagraph 5: A third opinion takes psychological motivation much further into the realm of tribal ceremonies and mystery: the belief that certain animals assumed mythical significance as ancient ancestors or protectors of a given tribe or clan.

(4)○To explain the state of consciousness the artists were in when they painted their pictures○To demonstrate the mythical significance of the strange geometric shapes○To indicate that trance states were often associated with activities that took place inside caves○To give a possible reason for the strange appearance of the men painted on the cave walls10. According to paragraph 5, if the man pictured with the birdlike head is not a shaman, he may have worn the headmask (1)○to look like an animal while a hunt took place○to frighten off other hunters competing for food○to prove that he is not a shaman○to resist forces of nature thought to be present in animalsParagraph 6: Perhaps so much time has passed that there will never be satisfactory answers to the cave images, but their mystique only adds to their importance.

肺部的等温饱和界面
肺部的等温饱和界面英文回答:The isothermal saturation interface in the lungs refers to the boundary between the gas phase and the liquid phase in the alveoli. It is a crucial interface that plays a significant role in maintaining the proper functioning of the respiratory system.When we inhale, the air enters the lungs and reaches the alveoli, which are tiny air sacs. The air in thealveoli is in contact with the thin layer of liquid that lines the alveolar walls. This liquid is known as the pulmonary surfactant, and it helps to reduce the surface tension within the alveoli, allowing them to expand and facilitate gas exchange.At the isothermal saturation interface, the inhaled air becomes saturated with water vapor from the liquid phase. This process is essential for humidifying the air andensuring that it is at the right temperature and moisture level before it reaches the deeper parts of the respiratory system.The isothermal saturation interface is maintained through various mechanisms. One of them is the presence of the pulmonary surfactant, which prevents the alveolar walls from collapsing by reducing surface tension. Another mechanism is the regulation of temperature and humidity within the respiratory system, which helps to ensure that the air is properly conditioned before it reaches the alveoli.To illustrate the importance of the isothermal saturation interface, let's consider an example. Imagine you are running on a cold winter day, and you start breathing heavily. As you inhale, the cold air enters your lungs and comes into contact with the warm liquid lining the alveoli. At the isothermal saturation interface, the cold air gets warmed up and humidified, making it more comfortable for your respiratory system. Without this interface, the cold air would directly reach the deeperparts of your lungs, potentially causing discomfort or irritation.中文回答:肺部的等温饱和界面是指肺泡中气相和液相之间的边界。
朱自清荷塘月色英文版
朱自清荷塘月色英文版IntroductionThe essay “荷塘月色” (Moonlight over the Lotus Pond) by Zhu Ziqing is a timeless masterpiece in Chinese literature. Through vivid descriptions and lyrical language, Zhu Ziqing transports the readers into the serene world of a lotus pond bathed in moonlight. This essay not only captures the beauty of nature but also reflects the poet’s inner thoughts and emotions. In this article, we will explore the enchanting charm of “荷塘月色” and delve into the deeper meaning behind Zhu Ziqing’s words.A Glimpse of the Lotus PondThe moonlight over the lotus pond is a sight to behold. As Zhu Ziqing vividly describes in his essay, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, their delicate petals reflecting the silvery moonlight. The pond is calm and still, mirroring the sky above like a perfectly polished mirror. The gentle breeze rustles the leaves of the lotus plants, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the scene. In the midst of this tranquil setting, the moon casts a soft glow, illuminating the entire pond with its radiant light.The Reflection of the MoonIn “荷塘月色,” Zhu Ziqing marvels at the reflection of the moon in the lotus pond. He compares the moon in the sky to a silver plate suspended in mid-air, while the reflection in the water appears like molten silver flowing down from above. The mirror-like surface of the pond reflects the moon with such precision that it becomes difficult to discern the real moon from its reflection. This imagery symbolizes the interplay between reality and illusion, where the line between what is real and what is perceived becomes blurred.Contemplation under MoonlightAs Zhu Ziqing walks along the banks of the lotus pond, he finds solacein the tranquillity of the night. Under the moonlight, he is able to escape from the complexities of daily life and immerse himself in a state of serene contemplation. He ponders upon the ephemeral nature of life, likening the lotus flowers that bloom and wither to the passing moments that make up our existence. The moon, in its eternal cycle, becomes a symbol of time, reminding us of the constant flux of life.Connection with NatureIn his essay, Zhu Ziqing expresses a deep connection with nature. The lotus pond, with its delicate beauty and serene atmosphere, becomes a sanctuary for the poet’s soul. He finds solace and peace in the har mony of the natural world, away from the chaos and noise of the modern world. This connection with nature serves as a reminder of our essential human nature and the need to seek balance and tranquillity in our lives.Appreciating the Simple PleasuresThrou gh “荷塘月色,” Zhu Ziqing invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures that surround us. He finds joy in the subtle beauty of the lotus flowers, the calmness of the pond, and the gentle moonlight. By immersing ourselves in these small moments of beauty, we can find contentment and happiness. Zhu Ziqing’s essay encourages us to slow down and pay attention to the often-overlooked wonders of the world around us.Conclusion“荷塘月色” is not just an essay about the moonlight over a lotus pond. It is a reflection on the beauty of nature, the passage of time, and the importance of finding peace and tranquillity in our lives. Zhu Ziqing’s lyrical language and vivid descriptions transport us into the enchanting world of the lotus pond. As we read his words, we are reminded of the profound connection between humans and nature, and the need to appreciate the simple joys that surround us. The moonlight over thelotus pond serves as a gentle reminder to slow down, contemplate, and find solace in the beauty of the world.。

The Wonders of the Tundra
The Wonders of the Tundra The tundra is a unique and fascinating ecosystem that is often overlooked in discussions about the natural world. This vast, treeless biome covers asignificant portion of the Earth's surface, stretching across the Arctic regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. Despite its harsh climate and sparse vegetation, the tundra is home to a diverse array of plant and animal species that have adapted to survive in this challenging environment. One of the most striking features of the tundra is its stark, barren landscape. The ground is typically covered in a layer of permafrost, a thick layer of frozen soil that remains frozen year-round. This frozen ground makes it difficult for plants to establish deep root systems, leading to the characteristic low-growing vegetation found in the tundra. Mosses, lichens, and small shrubs are common in this biome, providing food and shelter for a variety of animals. Despite its seemingly desolate appearance, the tundra is teeming with life. Many species of migratory birds travel to the tundra each year to breed and raise their young. These birds take advantage of the long days of the Arctic summer, when the sun never sets, to feed and care fortheir offspring. Some of the most iconic tundra birds include the snowy owl, the Arctic tern, and the tundra swan. In addition to birds, the tundra is also home to a variety of mammals that have adapted to survive in this harsh environment. Species such as the Arctic fox, the musk ox, and the caribou are well suited to the cold temperatures and limited food sources of the tundra. These animals have thick fur coats and specialized diets that allow them to thrive in this challenging biome. One of the most fascinating aspects of the tundra is its role in the global climate system. The tundra acts as a carbon sink, storing vast amounts of carbon in its frozen soil. However, as the climate warms and the permafrost thaws, this stored carbon is released into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. This feedback loop, known as the permafrost carbon feedback, is a major concern for scientists studying the impacts of climate change on the Arctic. Despite the challenges facing the tundra, there is still much to be learned and appreciated about this unique ecosystem. By studying the plants, animals, and geological features of the tundra, scientists can gain valuable insights into how ecosystems respond to environmental change. In addition, byraising awareness about the importance of protecting the tundra, we can help ensure that this fragile biome remains intact for future generations to enjoy. In conclusion, the tundra is a remarkable and awe-inspiring ecosystem that deserves our attention and respect. From its stark beauty to its vital role in the global climate system, the tundra is a place of wonder and discovery. By learning more about this unique biome and working to protect it, we can help ensure that the wonders of the tundra continue to inspire and captivate us for generations to come.。

a r X i v :a s t r o -p h /0610828v 1 27 O c t 2006Astronomy &Astrophysics manuscript no.(will be inserted by hand later)Chandra and Spitzer observations of CDFS X-ray obscured QSOsI.Georgantopoulos 1A.Georgakakis 2A.Akylas 11Institute of Astronomy &Astrophysics,National Observatory of Athens,Palaia Penteli,15236,Athens,Greece 2Astrophysics Group,Blackett Laboratory,Imperial College,Prince Consort Road,SW72BZ,U.K.Received ;acceptedAbstract.We present Chandra and Spitzer data of the 186,extragalactic,hard 2-10keV X-ray selected sources,which lie in the central part of the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS).For the vast majority of sources (99.5%)there is a spectroscopic or photometric redshift available.We classify 17sources as X-ray obscured QSOs,according to strictly X-ray criteria,i.e.defined as having large hydrogen column densities (N H >1022cm −2)and luminosities (L x >1044erg s −1).The surface density of X-ray obscured QSOs is ∼210deg −2.We find 18candidate Compton thick N H >1024cm −2sources,of which three have QSO luminosities (L x >1044erg s −1).The X-ray obscured QSO comprise a mixed bag of objects,covering the redshift range z =1.3−4.3.Eight of these show narrow line optical spectra,two show no obscuration in their optical spectra presenting Broad Lines,while for the other seven there is only a photometric redshift available.About half of the X-ray obscured QSOs show high X-ray to optical flux ratios,X/O >1,and red colours,I-3.6µm >bination of the X-ray with the mid-IR 8µm or 24µm flux can be used as an additional diagnostic to sift out the heavily obscured AGN.All X-ray selected QSOs present red mid-IR colours and can be easily separated among mid-IR sources,demonstrating that mid-IR selection provides a powerful tool for the detection of obscured QSOs.Key words.galaxies :active -quasars :general -X-ray :galaxies -X-ray:general1.IntroductionDeep Chandra surveys have resolved a substantial fraction of the X-ray background in the 2-10keV band (Brandt &Hasinger 2005).The vast majority of the detected sources in these fields are AGN,both unobscured (N H <1022cm −2)and obscured (N H >1022cm −2),with the latter dominating at faint fluxes.For example,at the source de-tection limit of the Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S),f X (2−10keV)∼10−16erg s −1cm −2,about 80%of the sources have N H >1022cm −2(e.g.Alexander et al.2003;Akylas et al.2006).However,there is a clearly a scarcity of NL QSO.Steffen et al.(2003)find that the number of narrow line (NL)AGN decreases at bright luminosities and high red-shift.Only a limited number of X-ray selected NL QSO (L X >1044erg s −1)have been identified at high-z (e.g.Stern et al.2002,Norman et al.2002).These NL QSOs could be rare just because of selec-tion effects (e.g.Treister et al.2004).For example,rest-frame hard X-ray photons at high redshift can penetrate large obscuring columns but the observed optical emis-2I.Georgantopoulos et al.:X-ray Obscured QSOs obscured QSOs(defined here as X-ray luminous,obscuredsources)and to determine their properties.For instance,do X-ray obscured QSOs have high X/O ratios?Can theybe selected through their red(e.g.R-K)colours?Do they all have NL or a fraction presents BL optical spectra(e.g. Akylas et al.2004).Padovani et al.(2004)searched for X-ray obscured QSOs in the CDF-N and CDF-S surveys using a high luminosity and a hardness ratio criterion,finding a few tens candidate X-ray obscured QSOs.However,a num-ber of the X-ray obscured QSO redshifts and luminosities come indirectly from the empirical X/O correlation with X-ray luminosity(Fiore et al.2003,Barger et al.2003). Here,we attempt to study the properties of X-ray ob-scured QSOs in the hard X-ray selected(2-10keV)CDF-S sample.A great advantage of this sample is that for the vast majority of the sources(except one out of247)there is either a spectroscopic or a photometric redshift avail-able.This means that optical selection effects have little impact on our study.Moreover,we determine the X-ray spectral properties of the sources using spectralfittings in-stead of the more crude and indirect method of hardness ratios,minimizing any uncertainties in the determination of the X-ray absorbing column density.Additionally,the wealth of data that has been recently accumulated in the CDFS region as part of the GOODS survey(e.g.Hubble ACS,Spitzer,Very Large Telescope photometry and spec-troscopy)allows us to study in detail the properties of the X-ray obscured QSOs.We use throughout the paper H o=75km s−1Mpc−1,Ωm=0.3,ΩΛ=0.7.2.The Data2.1.X-ray dataThe1Ms CDFS data consist of11individual Chandra(Advanced CCD imaging Spectrometer) ACIS-I pointings with aim points separated by a few arcseconds.The aim point coordinates are α=3h32m28s.0,δ=−27◦48′30′′(J2000).More details are presented in Rosati et al.(2002)and Giacconi et al. (2002).247sources are detected in the2-10keV band down to aflux limit of1×10−16erg cm−2s−1(Γ=1.4). As the roll angles of the individual pointings are different, a fraction of the sources at the edge of thefield-of-view are detected only in a smaller number of pointings.We choose here to analyse only the sources which lie in all 11pointings,in order to maximise the photon statistics. Essentially our source selection is such that the central field-of-view is covered.188sources are detected within all11pointings covering an area of∼0.05deg2.Two sources are associated with stars(Szokoly et al.2004). Only one source has not been optically identified and thus there is no redshift(photometric or spectroscopic) available.We use the PSEXTRACT script in the CIAO v3.2 software package to extract spectra.There are30sources Fig.1.The distribution of the rest-frame column density for all sourceswith more than approximately500counts.The data are grouped so that there are20counts per bin for these sources and thusχ2statistics can apply.For the other sources which have more limited photon statistics we use the C-statistic technique(Cash1979)specifically devel-oped to extract spectral information from data with low signal-to-noise ratio.We use the XSPEC v11.2software package for the spectralfits.Wefit the data using a power-law model absorbed by two cold absorbers:wa*wa*po in XSPEC notation.Thefirst column isfixed to the Galactic (8×1019cm−2)while the second one is the observer’s frame intrinsic column density.Then the rest-frame col-umn density scales as(1+z)2.7(e.g.Barger et al.2003). In the case of the sources with limited photon statistics (<500counts),the power-law photon index has beenfixed toΓ=1.8.The intrinsic luminosities are estimated using a K-correction appropriate for the best value ofΓ.The X-ray spectralfits are presented in table3.The distribution of the rest-frame column density is shown in Fig.1.All candidate Compton thick sources are plotted in the last N H bin.2.2.Optical and mid-IRPart of the CDFS has been observed with the Advanced Camera Surveys(ACS)onboard the Hubble Space Telescope as part of the GOODS survey(Giavalisco et al. 2004).We use here the F775Wfilter data(roughly equiv-alent to the I band).We cross-correlate the X-ray sources with the ACS data using a radius of3arcsec.As the sur-face density of sources increases at faint magnitudes reach-ing∼105deg−20.5mag−1at I=26,Kashikawa et al.2004, one has to be cautious about the possibility of chance co-incidence in the faintest cases(e.g.CDFS-610).For theI.Georgantopoulos et al.:X-ray Obscured QSOs3 sources which do not have I-band photometry available,we quote R magnitudes from Giacconi et al.(2002).Part of the CDFS has been observed by the IR Spitzermission(Werner et al.2004).The Spitzer Infrared ArrayCamera,IRAC,(Fazio et al.2004)8µm and MultibandImaging Photometer,MIPS,(Rieke et al.2004)24µmfluxes are are derived from theflux calibrated,backgroundsubtracted images provided in the Spitzer archive.1Wecross-correlate the Spitzer with the Chandra sources againusing a radius of3arcsec.3.Results3.1.The X-ray obscured QSOs23sources are defined as QSOs based on their high intrin-sic luminosity(L x>1044erg s−1).Of these18(see table1)present high absorbing column densities(N H>1022cm−2)and are thus classified as absorbed QSOs(or X-ray obscured QSOs)purely on the basis of their X-rayspectrum and luminosity.However,at least one source(aBL QSO)is a borderline X-ray obscured QSO as its col-umn density uncertainty is relatively large.Source CDFS-24,which has a BL optical spectrum,is consistent withN H=0cm−2at the90%confidence level.We cautionthat a small error in the measured column density at theobserver’s frame(owing e.g.to a backgroundfluctuation)may translate to an erroneously high column density atthe high redshifts probed here(see Akylas et al.2006).For example,as the rest-frame column density scales as(1+z)2.7,a column as low as∼2.5×1020at the observer’sframe will pass the1022cm−2rest-frame column thresholdat a redshift of z=3.Hereafter,we exclude CDFS-24fromthe X-ray obscured source sample.The resulting samplecontains17sources.Eight of the17X-ray obscured QSOspresent NL optical spectra while two sources are associ-ated with BL AGN.For seven sources there are no spectraavailable.The redshift distribution is given in Fig.2.Allsources apart from one lie at redshift z>2.We estimate the surface density of X-ray obscuredQSOs by taking into account the area covered by thesurvey at a givenflux.We estimate a surface densityof210deg−2down to aflux of f2−10≈1.6×10−15erg cm−2s−1.Five more luminous(L x>1044erg s−1)sources present no absorption(N H>1022cm−2)and arethus classified here as X-ray unobscured QSOs(see table2).The surface density of X-ray unobscured QSOs is∼60deg−2at aflux of f2−10∼5×10−15erg cm−2s−1.The ra-tio of X-ray obscured to unobscured QSOs is R=3.4±1.7.However,at the sameflux limit,∼5×10−15erg cm−2s−1,we estimate R∼1.Four of the X-ray unobscured QSOsare associated with BL AGN,while for the other one thereis no spectrum available.4I.Georgantopoulos et al.:X-ray Obscured QSOs statistics revealing no evidence for an Fe line.The90%upper limits on the equivalent width of the6.4keV lineare as high as several keV in all three cases.In total wefind8Compton thick AGN when we con-sider all X-ray luminosities.These Compton thick AGNare revealed directly through the detection of their absorp-tion turnover.Such column densities cannot be detectedat low redshift in the Chandra energy passband as the ab-sorption turnover occurs at energies>10keV.At highredshift the k-correction shifts the absorption turnover atlow energies.It is likely that these8AGN represent onlya fraction of the Compton thick sources in our sample.Indeed,at lower redshifts or higher column densities thecolumn density cannot be directly detected.Instead,thespectrum will appearflat.We have thus looked for caseswhere leaving the spectral index free,results in a veryflatspectrum:Γ∼1orflatter with∆C=2.7.Wefind ten such cases,raising the totalnumber of candidate Compton thick sources to18(see table3).3.3.X/O ratio and optical-IR colourThe optical(I or R)magnitudes and X-ray to opticalflux ratios,X/O,are presented in table1.Four X-ray obscured QSOs fall outside the ACS survey.For these we present R magnitudes instead from VLT/FORS.For CDFS-72there is only a magnitude lower limit as this was not detected at the limit of the FORS observations(R=26).The X/O is defined as the ratio of the2-10keVflux to optical(I band)flux:X/O=log(f x/f o)=5.7+logf x+I/2.5(1) In the case where we have only R magnitudes avail-able the X/O ratio is estimated using the equation in Hornschemeier et al.(2003).Three sources(CDFS-6,72, 76)have not been covered by the Spitzer IRAC survey. Five sources have not been covered by MIPS(CDFS-6, 72,76,61,54).All X-ray obscured QSOs which lie within the IRACfield-of-view have been detected at8µm.Instead only seven have been detected by MIPS at24µm.Finally, the I-3.6µm colour is given in Table1.The3.6µm mag-nitude is estimated from the relation:m3.6µm=−2.5logf3.6µm+23.9(2) where theflux f3.6is in units ofµJy.The X/O ratio as a function of the I-3.6µm colour is given in Fig.3.There is a strong correlation between the X/O and the I-3.6µm colour in the sense that the redder sources present high X/O.All the high X/O sources(X/O>1or Extreme X/O sources EXO)have I-3.6µm>4.This colour is roughly equivalent to an Extremely Red Object(ERO)defined as having R−K>5.However,not all X-ray obscured QSOs are EXOs or EROs.Reversely,one of the X-ray unobscured QSOs is an EXO(CDFS-67).Fig.3.The logarithm of the X-ray to opticalflux ratio or X/O as a function of the I−3.6µm colour.X-ray obscured and unobscured QSOs are denoted withfilled circles and crosses respectively.The open circle denotes the border-line X-ray obscured QSO CDFS-24.Thefilled triangles represent the Compton thick AGN with luminosity L x< 1044erg s−1.The remaining sources are shown as dots.3.4.Mid-IR propertiesAdditional clues on the nature of the X-ray obscured QSOs can be provided by their mid-IR properties.The X-ray to mid-IRflux ratios provide a useful diagnostic for identifying obscured AGN.Unobscured AGN have ratios around unity(e.g.Lutz et al.2004).In Fig.4we present the absorbed X-rayflux against the IRAC8µm(left panel) and24µm(right panel)flux density for all X-ray sources. The solid lines(adapted from Alonso-Herrero et al.2004) denote the region which is occupied by the hard X-ray selected AGN in the HEAO-1sample of Piccinotti et al. (1982).There are four X-ray obscured QSOs which lie be-low the AGN locus of points in the24µm diagram.The same X-ray obscured QSOs have low X-rayfluxes rela-tive to their8µmflux densities.These are associated with a BL QSO(CDFS-62),and three NL QSOs(CDFS-202, CDFS-45,CDFS-31).These have less X-ray emission for their mid-IRflux density and thus they should be associ-ated with the most heavily absorbed sources.Surprisingly, none of the candidate Compton thick sources are among these.The BL QSO CDFS-62presents no evidence of red-dening in the optical having I−3.6≈1.In contrast, sources CDFS-45and CDFS-31have I−3.6>4be-ing among the redder sources in our sample.CDFS-202 presents little reddening with I−3.6=2.8.Norman et al. (2002)present in detail the properties of this NL QSO at a redshift of3.7.In the mid-IR,AGN present red,featureless spectra (Hao et al.2005).Thus the mid-IR colours can provide aI.Georgantopoulos et

X-ray selected of QSOs are “red”.The only source lying outside (albeit only marginally)the red AGN region defined by Lacy et al.is CDFS-600.4.DiscussionWe have derived the X-ray spectral properties for all 186hard extragalactic (2-10keV)X-ray selected sources within the central field-of-view of the CDF-S.We define X-ray obscured QSOs,strictly using X-ray criteria and regardless of their optical spectrum,as those having high unobscured luminosities L x >1044erg s −1and high ob-scuration column density N H >1022cm −2.We find 17X-ray obscured QSOs among the 186sources.The ratio of X-ray unobscured to X-ray obscured QSOs (L x >1044erg s −1)is 3.4±1.7.This consistent with the ratio at lower luminosities (L x <1044erg s −1)which is R ≈2.5±0.5.At first this comes at odds with recent findings which show that the fraction of obscured AGN decreases significantly at high luminosities:Ueda et al.(2003),La Franca et al.(2005),Akylas et al.(2006)find ratios,R,well below unity,at high luminosities.This apparent discrepancy could be attributed to the fact that we are using a pencil beam flux limited survey and thus we cannot probe large enough volumes to detect a high number of luminous unobscuredFig.5.Spitzer IRAC colours.We denote with solid lines the region which is used as an AGN diagnostic tool in mid-IR according to Lacy et al.Symbols as in Fig.3.QSOs (see also the discussion by La Franca et al.2005and Akylas et al.2006).The optical spectra of the X-ray obscured QSOs show that these comprise a mixed bag of objects.Eight sources present NL spectra,two are associated with BL AGN while for seven more there are no spectra available.The BL source CDFS-062presents a high column,2×1023cm −2.This column should correspond to A V ∼100us-6I.Georgantopoulos et

CDFS-153,505,531and610are common.However,Tozzi et al.do not include in their Compton thick sample the sources which present column densities N H>1024cm−2, i.e.CDFS-599,600,601,605,609,634.This would al-leviate the discrepancy between the two samples.Finally, there are sources in their sample presenting veryflat spec-tral index,e.g.CDFS-25withΓ=0.29+0.21−0.20,which should be considered as candidate Compton thick sources.5.ConclusionsWe have explored the X-ray optical and mid-IR properties of X-ray obscured QSOs on the CDFS.We classify X-ray obscured QSOs on the basis of purely X-ray criteria i.e. high luminosity L x>1044erg s−1combined with high hy-drogen column density N H>1022cm−2.We are selecting X-ray obscured through the186hard extragalactic X-ray sources which lie in the central FOV of the CDFS.We have derived proper X-ray spectra(instead of hardness ratios)for all our sources.Photometric or spectroscopic redshifts exist for the vast majority of the sources(185 out of186)ascertaining that optical selection biases are of no importance in our study.Wefind17X-ray obscured QSOs spanning the redshift range1.3-4.2.Our main re-sults can be summarised as follows:1.The surface density of X-ray obscured QSOs is210 deg−2at f2−10∼10−15erg cm−2s−1.2.Our X-ray obscured QSO sample comprises of sources with both NL and BL spectra.The BL source with the highest absorption(1023cm−2)is a mini-BAL.3.Three out of17X-ray obscured QSOs present very high column densities(>1024cm−2)and are classified as Compton thick QSOs.When we consider all luminosities, we classify18sources as candidate Compton thick AGN, based on the detection of either high column densities or flat X-ray spectra.4.About half of our X-ray obscured QSOs presenta very high X-ray to opticalflux ratio,X/O>1.These present very red colours(I-3.6µm)and most can be clas-sified as EROs.5.The X-ray to mid-IRflux ratio can provide a com-plementary tool to select heavily obscured sources.Four out of17X-ray obscured QSOs appear to have a low X-ray to mid-IRflux ratio;only two of these four sources have either a red colour or a high X/O ratio.6.Practically all17QSOs have red mid-IR colours and can be very easily separated from the normal galaxies de-tected in mid-IR as pointed out by Lacy et al.(2004).This suggests that the mid-IR selection provides a powerful tool to detect obscured QSOs at high redshift.Acknowledgements.We are grateful to the anonymous referee for his numerous corrections and suggestions.We acknowledge use of ESO/GOODS data.The Chandra data were
