    As a theoretical foundation and source of Chinese Medicine, HDNJ·SW (Huang Di Nei Jing· Su Wen) which studies the human physiology, pathology, and diagnosis and prevention of diseases covers the fields of “Yin Yang” and “Wuxing” philosophy, astrophysics, human physiology, geography, literature and so on. Present studies on the translation of HDNJ·SW are usually recognized as an unsystematic work because most researchers are confined to study the scattered terminology. With the guidance of deconstruction translation theory, this thesis studies the translation methods of HDNJ·SW from perspectives of language, figures of speech and medicine by taking the text and terminology. This paper analyzes the characteristics of the text of HDNJ·SW and related problems in translation, three principles are summarized: information conveyance, culture conveyance and form conveyance. The research reveals that with the great differences on materials, languages, cultures and forms between Chinese and English, in order to achieve the three translation principles, different translation methods should be adopted in different situations for the purpose of conveying the values of medicine, culture and rhetoric.Key words: TCM; HDNJ·SW; Information conveyance; Culture conveyance; Form conveyanc

    At-home consumption of shrimp, oysters, and catfish is investigated, using data from a mail survey conducted in 2000-2001. Results indicated consumers probability and frequency of consumption decreased if consumers felt they lacked preparation knowledge, product preparation was too time consuming, or the smell was unattractive. Demographics were also significant.Consumer/Household Economics,

    Zero Surface Tension Limit of the Free-Boundary Problem in Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics

    We show that the solution of the free-boundary incompressible ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations with surface tension converges to that of the free-boundary incompressible ideal MHD equations without surface tension given the Rayleigh-Taylor sign condition holds true initially. This result is a continuation of the authors' previous works [17,32,16]. Our proof is based on the combination of the techniques developed in our previous works [17,32,16], Alinhac good unknowns, and a crucial anti-symmetric structure on the boundary.Comment: 35 pages. Final version, accepted by Nonlinearity. We extend the result to the case of a general diffeomorphis

    Local Well-posedness of the Free-Boundary Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics with Surface Tension

    Full text link
    We prove the local well-posedness of the 3D free-boundary incompressible ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations with surface tension, which describe the motion of a perfect conducting fluid in an electromagnetic field. We adapt the ideas developed in the remarkable paper [11] by Coutand and Shkoller to generate an approximate problem with artificial viscosity indexed by κ>0\kappa>0 whose solution converges to that of the MHD equations as κ0\kappa\to 0. However, the local well-posedness of the MHD equations is no easy consequence of Euler equations thanks to the strong coupling between the velocity and magnetic fields. This paper is the continuation of the second and third authors' previous work [38] in which the a priori energy estimate for incompressible free-boundary MHD with surface tension is established. But the existence is not a trivial consequence of the a priori estimate as it cannot be adapted directly to the approximate problem due to the loss of the symmetric structure.Comment: 60 page
