The peripheral structure of Dalian stadium is a long-span spatial truss structure. To ensure the safety of the peripheral structure during construction and operation period, the permanent structure health monitoring system is implemented. This paper first introduces the structural features of the Dalian stadium, and then illustrates the permanent monitoring program from the aspects of the hardware, the monitoring scheme and the function. This developed monitoring system is utilized to monitor the stress of the truss, and the dynamic response of the structure. Large amounts of data are obtained through the health monitoring system, and thus the safe condition of the structure can be evaluated based on data analysis.

The article is aimed at presenting that the features of a myth (known from literature in the field of anthropology, semiotics, and cognitive science) are also present in marketing communication related to shaping the image of brands. However, they are used in a scattershot manner, as specific marketing messages usually use only certain selected features of a myth. The article shows techniques of brand mythologization by combining three features of myths (permanent structure of events, bricolage, counter-intuitiveness) with three possible ways of their application for marketing communication (modeling, export, import).

In this piece, Gretchen Brion-Meisels investigates how adolescents conceptualize support in the context of school. Student support systems have become a permanent structure in most U.S. public schools, responsible for ensuring equal access to support services. Unfortunately, little is known about how adolescents make meaning of school-based support. To answer this question, Brion-Meisels explores how urban adolescents in a northeastern city talk about support, paying close attention to the cultural narratives that underlie their conceptions. Analyzing text from survey, interview, and focus group data, she argues that adolescents in the sample both draw on and actively resist dominant societal discourses of support. Findings suggest that support providers would benefit from better understanding the cultural and contextual narratives underlying youth conceptions of support, as well as the individual perspectives of the youth that they serve. In addition, Brion-Meisels contends that adults must shift their own discourses of support if they want to create spaces in which young people feel empowered and safe to seek help.

The Whitiam Labor Government founded ethnic radio in June. 1975, initially as a 13-week experiment to be extended for six months to establish it permanently. Three months after the beginning of the second experiment a proposal for the long-term structure for ethnic radio recommending the establishment of an Ethnic Broadcasting Commission (EBC) was announced. But it was never acted upon. The constitutional crisis of October-November 1975 culminating in the Governor General sacking the Whitlam Government, followed by the Fraser Government being installed, changed the direction of ethnic radio. It took another two years before the conservative coalition Government decided on a permanent structure for ethnic radio. On 1 January, 1978, ethnic radio commenced broadcasting under the auspices of the Special Broadcasting Service. The proposal to establish an EBC, little known, is considered in its context. Specifically, the EBC would have meant: domination by larger communities, few languages, focus on culturai maintenance, and conflict between conmmunities and directors.

AbstractDefecation in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi is a stereotyped sequence of effector responses that occur with a regular ultradian rhythm. Time intervals between repeated defecations of individual animals depend on body size, ranging from ~10 min in small larvae to ~1 hr in large adults. New features and corrections of previous reports of the gastrovascular system during and between defecations are described in detail by video microscopy. Contrary to the scientific literature, the defecating organ of the excretory complex is just one of the two anal canals which possesses the animal’s only anal pore. The anal pore is not visible as a permanent structure as depicted in textbooks, but appears at defecation and disappears afterward. DIC microscopy reveals that opening and closing of the anal pore resemble a reversible ring of tissue fusion between apposed endodermal and ectodermal layers at the aboral end. Mnemiopsis thus appears to have an intermittent anus and therefore an intermittent through-gut that reoccur at regular intervals. The temporality of a visible anal pore in Mnemiopsis is novel, and may shed light on the evolution of a permanent anus and through-gut in animals. In addition, mirror image dimorphism of the diagonal anal complex occurs in larval ctenophores but not in adults, indicating developmental flexibility in diagonal symmetry of the anal complex.

In this article we will analyse the use of intertextuality in Sara Uribe’s Antígona González. From a theoretical point of view, we will focus on the relationship between Antígona González and both Sophocles’ myth and other European and Latin-American reinterpretations of it, trying to set the structural function of myth as a textual device, which tries to undermine its permanent structure. This specific use of myth will be therefore connected with the thematic dimension of Antigone’s body, in order to investigate the meaning of its collective re-use in the Mexican recontextualisation proposed by Uribe, together with all the esthetical, ethical and political implications derived from that.

Lateral Walls

The contractile vacuole of the chloromonadophycean alga Vacuolaria virescens is a permanent structure that possesses a specialized membrane: subunits of this membrane have a diameter of 21–24 nm and in places are arranged in a regular hexagonal pattern. The lateral walls of these subunits form regularly spaced bristles or pegs which extend inwards from the trilaminar membrane for a distance of 13–15 nm. The contractile vacuole is situated immediately above an extensive Golgi apparatus that covers most of the anterior surface of the nucleus. Vesicles of Golgi origin give rise to subsidiary vacuoles which in turn empty into the contractile vacuole. Golgi vesicles, subsidiary vacuoles and the contractile vacuole contain similar electron-dense material. It is suggested that this material might be a highly hydrophilic substance which will attract water from the cytoplasm into the Golgi vesicles, subsidiary vacuoles and contractile vacuole from whence it is discharged from the cell. This method of osmoregulation is compared to that occurring in other algae and protozoa.

The movement of chromosomes may be regarded in two kinds of relationships according as it involves changes of shape and changes of position. The first are due to movements within the chromosomes, and may be used to infer their internal mechanics . The second are due to movements between chromosomes, and may be used to infer their external mechanic . Many experiments have been devoted to elucidating the principles of the external mechanics, and they have been successful in showing certain essential properties of the cell outside the nucleus, particularly of the spindle and the spindle-determining bodies or centrosomes. But, when applied to the chromosomes, artificial treatment has the drawback that in making one primary change it sets up a series of secondary changes whose importance cannot be accurately assessed; comparison is therefore vitiated. The cytoplasm and, in the resting nucleus, a semi-permeable nuclear membrane separates and protects the chromosomes from external stimuli. Thus micro-dissection and etherization have clear-cut effects on chromosome movements, but these may be secondary consequences of an action upon the cytoplasm. The value of experimental tests being thus limited, we are thrown back on the comparison of the behaviour of chromosomes in different natural circumstances. The number of variables is then under genetical control and the method of inference depends on genetical assumptions. But the necessary assumptions are now fairly well defined. We take it that the behaviour of the chromosomes depends on three variable factors: genotype, environment, and permanent structure, and there are usually means by which we can eliminate differences due to two of these. The characteristic differences between different species and varieties, for example, are due to differences of genotype, and they fall for the most part within a narrow range, the narrower the smaller the systematic group concerned. Even the most significant change that has arisen in the evolution of the genetic mechanism, the change from mitosis to meiosis, can be represented as the consequence of a shift in the time-coordination between external and internal factors in the development of the chromosomes, a precocity of the one relative to the other.
