Forensic Application of Analytical Mechanics in Fatal Fall From a Height

Fatal fall from a height initiated with a swinging motion on the sagittal plane of the victim's body is examined. Method of analytical mechanics is adopted to establish the functional relations between the swinging angle of the body and the force needed to sustain the body until release, and the amount of the horizontal displacement that would occur after release. The analysis is applied to support an expert opinion presented in a criminal court in which two accused were convicted of murder for dropping a female victim from a bridge. The results indicate that it is unlikely for the body to locate as recorded by the police investigation report in the case. This study demonstrates that a straightforward mechanical analysis can be utilized to examine uncommon falling scenarios.     

Effect of Wind on Horizontal Displacement of Fatal Fall from a Height

The horizontal displacement of the human body resulting from fatal fall from a height is an important variable commonly used to inversely determine the cause or identify other forensic aspects of the fall. When examining the horizontal displacement, the wind effect is generally ignored. This technical note reports analytical modeling of the falling process, utilizing previous measurements of wind force acting on the human body, for determining the functional relationship between the wind speed and the horizontal displacement in the falling process. The result reveals that it does not take extremely rare wind conditions to cause a considerable shift of the human body, highlighting the importance to consider wind as a factor in investigations of fatal falls.     

苗族:"神州"土著

根据史学家的研究及考古发现,苗族的祖源故土就在中国,即苗族为“神州”之土著。神州,即中国。《史记》曰:“中国名曰赤县神州。”苗族这个人们共同体,发祥于中国长江、淮河流域,曾北渡黄河挺进中原腹部,并形成名曰“九黎”的部落联盟。“九黎”集团率先开发了“神州”本部。     

Managing commercial risks in open source software licensing

Legal context: The article reviews the commercial risk allocation clauses intypical open source licence terms and discusses their enforceabilityand implications. Key points: The enforceability of warranty disclaimers and limitation ofliability clauses in common open source licence terms is questionable,particularly in a cross-border context, and commercial licensorsshould take additional steps to protect themselves from down-streamrisks. Practical significance: Open source software presents a number of unusual commercialissues, because it is available free of charge and the providerstry to disclaim warranties and liabilities. End users and resellershave to adjust their own in- and out-licensing models to accommodatethis situation.     

泰国：20世纪二三十年代海外潮剧的中心

泰国潮剧源于中国。20世纪二三十年代,伴随着现代化的进程,泰国潮剧逐渐本土化,并对中国潮剧产生一定的影响,成为海外潮剧的中心,对潮剧艺术的发展做出了巨大的贡献。同时,潮剧在泰国与中国之间的地理位移意味着这一特殊戏曲艺术在整体格局中的边缘与中心地位的互换,其后隐藏着特定的社会背景和历史渊源,给予人们深刻而独特的文化启示。     

技术性贸易壁垒中贸易和环保的平衡

技术性贸易壁垒的合法、合理、适度使用已经成为当今WTO框架内涉及贸易自由化和环保平衡的重要问题之一。GATT第XX条为部分涉及环保的技术性贸易壁垒实施设立了条件和要求。《TBT协定》为涉及环保的技术性贸易壁垒的实施设立了指导原则和判断标准,但这些原则和标准的适用则是一个复杂的技术和法律的冲突和协调过程,贸易保护之目的和效果都会影响技术性贸易壁垒实施过程中贸易自由和环保措施之间的平衡。     

吸收借鉴其它执政党的有益经验不断提高我们党的执政能力

不同性质的政党之间,既有矛盾的对立性,又有矛盾的同一性,它们应该而且必须相互借鉴.中国共产党只有积极借鉴吸收其它政党治国理政的有益经验,同时在吸收借鉴中遵循正确的原则,结合中国新的实践进行新的创造,为我所用,才能巩固和发展自己的执政地位,不断提高我们党的执政能力.

唐代工商业利润的流动转化及其社会后果

唐代官营工商业利润主要流入政府财政 ,也有一部分转化为高利贷资本和用于土地经营。民间工商业利润除了一部分用于生活消费、交通权贵和囤积射利外 ,大多用于土地的购买兼并和转化为高利贷资本。官、私工商业利润向产业资本流动转化甚少 ,既无益于新的生产方式的产生和发展 ,也拉大了财富占有上的贫富分化 ,并最终激化了社会矛盾和阶级矛盾 ,导至农民大起义爆发 ,唐王朝的腐朽统治遭到推翻     

民族法文化与中华法系——以金代为例

本文试以12-13世纪中国北方游牧文明对中原农耕文明的又一波撞击中,女真习惯法文化与中原儒家法文化双向流动、融汇而成的多元一体的金法文化为例,说明中国传统法律文化荟萃各民族法律文化之精华,兼收并蓄,广采博取,取精用宏,才铸就了自身独特的法律品格;而作为中国传统法律文化的典型代表,中华法系的形成也经历了从分散的多元结合成一体的历史过程;中华法系是以汉族为主体的各民族法律意识、法律原则和法律制度长期交流、融合的产物。
