nursing. The Western nursing metaparadigm of four concepts—person, nursing, health, and environment—was explored through the lens of a Chinese worldview and led to the presentation of a broadened view for an integrated model of nursing. Asian and Western worldviews of human beings and health

Key words: excess tritium; selective resonant tunneling model; deuterium flux; condensed matter nuclear science; cold fusion. Investigation on tritium was one of the recommendations in ERAB report of DOE in November, 1989. 15 year evolution of the related research proved that it was an important recommendation. A selective resonant tunneling model is attempted to explain this discovery. Deuterium flux might be a key issue to solve the problem of the reproducibility. A further investigation is suggested based on this model. 1. EXCESS TRITIUM November, 1989 ERAB made five recommendations. “Investigations designed to check the reported observations of excess tritium in electrolytic cells are desirable. ” was one of them [1]. It was important, because the existence of tritium product should be a critical evidence to confirm the nuclear reactions in the electrolytic cells [2]. On the other 1 hand, the quantity of the tritium was incommensurate with the neutron emission. It should be a hint that the origin of this tritium should be different from the usual d+d fusion reaction. Particularly, there was not any report on 14 MeV neutron emission. It should be another hint that this tritium should not be the product of d+d fusion reaction. F. Will conducted a series of carefully designed experiments which showed that excess tritium in electrolytic cells and gas-discharge tube were real and reproducible [3]. In parallel with his gas discharge experiments, T. Claytor of Los Alamos National Lab. showed also that the excess tritium in gas-loading systems was real as well [4]. This tritium measurement was confirmed by the mass spectroscopy in 2001 [5]. Indeed tritium

and comparative philosophy. The present article focuses on his extraordinary ability to introduce Western thought in a way which was compatible with the specific methodology of traditional Chinese thought. According to such presumptions, culture is viewed as an entity composed of a number of specific discourses

The Chinese view on state sovereignty; in line with the West or a notion of their own?

The Simple View of Reading (SVR) in Chinese was examined in a genetically sensitive design. A total of 270 pairs of Chinese twins (190 pairs of monozygotic twins and 80 pairs of same-sex dizygotic twins) were tested on Chinese vocabulary and word reading at the mean age 7.8 years and reading

Perhaps the most famous critic of computational theories of mind is John Searle. His best-known work on machine understanding, first presented in the 1980 paper ‘Minds, Brains & Programs ’ (MBP), has become known as the Chinese Room Argument (CRA). The central claim of the CRA

, com-municating/relating, fairness, and administrative competence. The findings sug-gest that the contemporary Chinese view of leadership is consistent with the Confucian philosophy of leadership.
