This paper utilizes Northrop Frye’s mythic archetypal criticism theory to study the play’s embodiment of the biblical archetypal model. Previous studies have only dealt with one aspect of the biblical archetype in The Tempest. This essay discusses that the characters, structure, plot, and imagery of The Tempest can all find the archetypes in The Holy Bible. It is found that the play is the Scriptures’ double to some extent, through which Shakespeare wants to spread biblical values such as morality and fraternity.展开更多

The SCHF structure can facilitate analyte filling and enhance the overlapping area of the core mode and surface plasmon polariton （SPP） mode. The coupling properties of the sensor are analyzed by numerical simulation. The maximum sensitivity of 5000 nm/RIU in an RI range of 1.33-1.44, and the average sensitivity of 9295 nm/RIU in an RI range from 1.44 to 1.54 can be obtained.展开更多

In this thesis, the author intended to reveal the medical implication in the Ho/y Bib/e and its relevance to the modern medical science by exploring the biblical medical information and comparing it with the current medical theory and practice. The conclusion of the exploration is surprising yet inspiring： the Ho/y Bibe, as an ancient religious book, contains rich medical information around themes such as sexual relations, dietary guidelines, hygiene, etc., which is not at odds, but in harmony with the modern medicine.展开更多

The necessary conditions for the existence of such a design are that u ≥ 4, g ≥ 3h, λg（u 1） ≡ 0 （mod 3）, λ（g h）（u 1） ≡ 0 （mod 3）, and λu（u 1）（g 2 h 2 ） ≡ 0 （mod 12）. These necessary conditions are shown to be sufficient for all λ≥ 2. The known existence result for λ = 1 is also improved.展开更多

The idea is to educate and make our children aware, but in a way that makes them happy and suits the cause. Designing an application, which let users know about various verses and words of Holy Quran in easy way, is very important. This study helps children to relate all those words with real life, reel life and later then will recognize them easily. The illustration in this study plays a key role to do the research in a right way. In this paper, the application can do a lot of experiment with puzzle and other random applications. Moreover, that application gives children an opportunity to use their brain in order to recognize, the Quranic words in an innovative way, which will serve them in the knowledge about the Holy Quran. From our experiential results around 50% of Children using this application for our dataset were satisfied with the application.展开更多

In addition, he organized his work fully with a large amount of information the public concerned and well-arranged them into the wonderful story.The protagonists of the book, Robert Langdon, the symbologist from Harvard and Sophie Neveu, the decode expert (The curator's granddaughter) have to solve the complicated secret by gradually investigating the strange codes and meet a series of dangerous situations. They find that what they're looking for may be a shocking secret while they solve the codes progressively during the fierce struggle with the mystery manipulator. The secret is the Holy Grail, which the Church tends to hide forever because it will destroy the faith.Therefore, this thesis will analyze the symbolic significance of Holy Grail in the book and the arguments on it against the author's viewpoint by observing related religious figures, religious phenomenon and religious organizations.展开更多

In this tale,Chaucer created the Pluto-Proserpina episode which alludes to the biblical story of God expelling Adam and Eve. Previous studies of the episode mainly focus on historical and mythological background of two pagan gods with some focusing on narrative function of the episode. Nevertheless, when examined through the lens of gender studies, Pluto and Proserpina are in effect fabricated as a substitution of God, revealing His androgyny. This article aims to analyze similarities and differences between PlutoProserpina episode, examine God's images in Holy Bible and Medieval society, and finally conclude that the modified God created by Chaucer in the Pluto-Proserpine episode unveils androgyny of God, which is a great challenge to Medieval ideology concerning God's gender.展开更多

文摘The Ho/y Bibe, as the root of Western civilization, has imposed great influence in the fields far beyond religion. In this thesis, the author intended to reveal the medical implication in the Ho/y Bib/e and its relevance to the modern medical science by exploring the biblical medical information and comparing it with the current medical theory and practice. The conclusion of the exploration is surprising yet inspiring： the Ho/y Bibe, as an ancient religious book, contains rich medical information around themes such as sexual relations, dietary guidelines, hygiene, etc., which is not at odds, but in harmony with the modern medicine.
