随着刺激性质和反应内容的复杂化,反应时间也将随之增加。
其反应时间有显著的差异,选择反应时间长于简单反应时间。
人对各种不同性质刺激的反应时间是不同的,对于同一种性质的刺激,其刺激强度和刺激方式的不同,中等强度刺激信号的反应时间小于阈限强度的刺激信号。
刺激信号与背景的对比程度也是影响反应时间的一种因素,信号愈清晰愈易辨认,则反应时间愈短;反之,反应时间延长。
当刺激信号持续时间不同时,反应时间随刺激信号的增加而减少。
刺激信号的数目对反应时间的影响最为明显,即反应时间随刺激信号数的增加而明显延长。
The response time is the time spacing of the stimulus and response,is composed of two parts of the reaction perception time and the operation time.With complicated by stimulating properties and reactions of the content,the reaction time will also increase.There are significant differences in the reaction time is longer than the simple reaction time, choice reaction time.On various properties of the reaction time stimulus is different,for the stimulation of the same nature,the reaction time of the stimulus intensity and stimulation different,moderate intensity stimulation signal is less than the threshold intensity of the stimulation signal.The stimulus signal and the background level of contrast is also affect the reaction time is a factor,the signal is more clear to the more easily recognizable, the reaction time is shorter;Conversely,the reaction time is prolonged.When the duration of the stimulus signal is not the same,the reaction time may vary depending on the stimulus signal to increase and decrease.To stimulate the number of signals is the most obvious effects of the reaction time, i.e.reaction time varies significantly prolonged stimulation the increase of the number of signals.4. 生活中常见的水表显示装置的形式如下图所示。
Applications and Reaction Conditions ForRestriction EnzymesStandard Restriction Enzyme ReactionsA. REACTION CONDITIONSB. SINGLE RESTRICTION ENZYME DIGESTSEach restriction enzyme has optimal reaction (assay) conditions and different conditions for long term storage. The recommended assay and storage conditions are both determined by the manufacturer to provide the user with the highest activity, best fidelity and greatest stability for each enzyme. Factors that must be considered include temperature, pH, enzyme cofactors, salt composition, ionic strength and stabilizers. Promega restriction enzyme Reaction Buffers are designed to provide the best balance of optimal activity and convenience. Promega storage buffers have been designed after accelerated and real time/real temperature stability experiments. All enzyme storage conditions are validated through our Quality Assurance re-assay program to maximize long term stability.Setting up digests with a single restriction enzyme is relatively straightforward. However, digests using multiple enzymes that have different buffer requirements may demand the use of alternative buffers and may require adjustments in the number of units of enzyme used. Table 3.1 lists the relative activities of restriction enzymes in Promega 10X Reaction Buffers. Alternatively, use the interactive search function of this guide to identifycompatible buffers. If no compatible buffer can be found a sequential reaction may be performed in which additional buffer or salt is added to the reaction before the second enzyme, or each digest may be performed sequentially using the optimal buffers. The latter option will require either a DNA precipitation or purification step after the first digest. Regardless of the type of digest performed, the addition of BSA is recommended to stabilize the enzyme and enhance activity (1) (2) .pH: Most restriction enzymes are used between pH 7.2 and pH 8.5 as measured at the temperature ofincubation. pH values outside of the optimal range may lead to star activity .Mg 2+: Commercially available restriction enzymes require Mg 2+ as the only cofactor. Restriction enzymeactivities are relatively insensitive to the Mg 2+ concentration; similar rates are observed from 5-30mM. The presence of other divalent metal ions, especially Mn 2+, may lead to star activity .Salt Concentration: Restriction enzymes are diverse in their response to ionic strength. Most are stimulated by 50-150mM NaCl or KCl while others are inhibited by salt concentrations higher than 20mM. A few enzymes prefer acetate to chloride anions. Suboptimal ionic strength or type of ion may lead to star activity .BSA: Bovine Serum Albumin is used in restriction enzyme storage buffers and is added to digestion reactions to stabilize the enzyme. BSA can protect restriction enzymes from proteases, non- specific adsorption and harmful environmental factors such as heat, surface tension and interfering substances. Typically, the addition of0.1mg/ml BSA will result in a 1.5 to 6-fold enhancement of enzyme activity. The Acetylated BSA provided with Promega's restriction enzymes has been modified and extensively tested to ensure that no degrading activities are present.Glycerol: Glycerol is added to restriction enzyme storage buffers to prevent freezing at -20°C. Repeatedfreeze/thawing of restriction enzymes can reduce their activity. Some restriction enzymes show reducedspecificity, or increased star activity , when the glycerol concentration in the final reaction is higher than 5% although many have normal specificity at glycerol concentrations as high as 10%.Incubation Temperature: Most restriction enzymes show maximum activity at 37°C. A few enzymes require higher or lower temperatures for optimal activity (e.g., Taq I, 65°C; Sma I, 25°C). For incubations greater than 1 hour with high temperature enzymes, cover the reactions with a drop of mineral oil to prevent evaporation. Generally, the incubation temperature for the enzyme reflects the growth temperature of the bacterial strain from which it is derived. For enzymes that have temperature optima other than 37°C, Promega provides information on percent activity at 37°C on the Product Information sheet that is packaged with each enzyme. This type of information is particularly useful when performing double digests.Volume: Viscous DNA solutions inhibit enzyme diffusion and can reduce enzyme activity. DNA concentrations that are too dilute can fall below the K m of the restriction enzyme and also affect enzyme activity. Volumeconsiderations must take into account final ionic strength and must result in glycerol concentrations no higher than 5-10% in order to avoid star activity. Reaction volumes of 10-50µl per microgram of DNA are recommended.An analytical restriction enzyme reaction is usually performed in a volume of approximately 20µl on 0.2-1.5µg of substrate DNA using a 2- to 10-fold excess of enzyme over DNA, based on unit definition. Use of an unusually large volume of DNA or enzyme may give aberrant results. Caution should be exercised to prevent higher than1.Under sterile conditions add the following components, in the order stated, to a sterile microcentrifugetube.2.Mix gently by pipetting. Centrifuge briefly at 12,000 x g in a micro centrifuge to collect the contents at thebottom of the tube.3.Incubate at the optimum temperature for 1-4 hours. 4.Add 4µl of Blue/Orange 6X Loading Dye (or another appropriate DNA loading buffer), and proceed to gelanalysis.C. MULTIPLE RESTRICTION ENZYME DIGESTSe the optimal buffer supplied with one enzyme if the activity of the second enzyme is acceptable in thatsame buffer. Alternatively, acceptable activity for both enzymes may be achieved by using another ofPromega’s 4-CORE ® 10X Buffers(Cat.# R9921). If one of the enzymes has less than 75% activity in thechosen buffer, the reaction time or the number of units of enzyme used may need to be increased. Beaware of possible star activity under non-optimal reaction conditions (see Table 3.1 or use the interactivesearch function of this guide to identify compatible buffers).2.Choose an isoschizomer or neoschizomer with more compatible buffer requirements. 3.Perform a single digest with the first enzyme then inactivate that enzyme. Add the ingredients necessaryfor the second digest then add the second enzyme. For example, use a lower salt buffer and enzyme first,then inactivate the first enzyme, add enough salt to achieve the concentration required for the seconddigest, and add the second restriction enzyme.D. EXPERIMENTAL CONTROLSnormal concentrations of EDTA and glycerol. The following is an example of a typical analytical single restrictionenzyme digestion:Sterile, nuclease-free water14µl Restriction enzyme 10X buffer2µl BSA, Acetylated (1mg/ml)2µl DNA sample 0.2-1µg, in water or TE buffer1µl Restriction enzyme, 2-10U1µl Final volume 20µlLarger scale restriction enzyme digestions can be accomplished by scaling this basic reaction proportionately.If all of the restriction enzymes in a multiple digest have the same optimal buffer, setting up the digest isstraightforward. However, when this is not the case, several options are available.Note: Perform each digest sequentially using the optimal buffers. This will require either a DNA precipitation orpurification step after the first digest. Although this procedure involves more steps than those listed above, insituations where options 1-3 are not satisfactory, it may be the best alternative.Some common controls used for restriction enzyme digestion and gel analysis are given in Table 2.1.Table 2.1. Restriction Enzyme Reaction ControlsRestriction Enzyme Digest ControlsControl: Untreated DNA controlStrategyPurpose DNA is loaded on gel with no treatment otherthan the addition of loading buffer. Shows the integrity of the DNA starting material. Nicked, linear and supercoiled forms of plasmid DNA are normally seen in untreatedsamples.Control: No enzyme ControlStrategyPurpose A mock digest is run parallel with theexperimental digest, except that no enzyme isadded. The missing volume is made up withpares DNA digests with and without enzyme. Detects changes that may occur independent of enzyme such as exonuclease contamination in the DNA or in one of the reaction components.Control: Enzyme activity checkStrategy PurposePerform a control digest using the unitdefinition DNA (usually lambda) andconditions as described in the PromegaProduct Information sheet.Confirms enzyme activity.Control: DNA substrate control and general enzyme digest control Strategy PurposeSet up the following parallel digests:1.Perform a digestion as described inthe unit definition for the enzyme butusing the experimentally derived DNAinstead of control DNA. Adjust thenumber of enzyme units based onrecognition site density.2.Perform the experimental digest,replacing the experimental DNA withthe same quantity of commercialquality DNA (usually lambda DNA).Adjust the number of enzyme unitsbased on recognition site density. Compares activity of the enzyme under experimental conditions using standard DNA and experimental DNA under standard conditions. Tests for possible problems with substrate DNA such as impurity, missing recognition sites, methylation, etc. Can be used to assay for the function of other reagents used in the enzyme digest. If an inhibitor is suspected in the DNA solution, a set of digests comparing experimental DNA, control DNA and a combination of the two may also be performed. In most cases, the presence of an inhibitor will "poison" the control reaction when both are combined.Gel Analysis ControlsControl: One molecular weight (MW) markerStrategy PurposeOne or two lanes of an electrophoresis gel should always be devoted to size standards and used for comparison with unknowns. This assures that a standard exists for:1.Determining the distance samples have run in the gel.2.Measuring the sizes of unknown fragments.3.Repeatedly seeing a familiar pattern of known andstandardized MW.Control: Two different MW markersStrategy PurposeTwo different size markers provide much more information than one. Two sets of data points give greater accuracy during graphing of data points for MW measurements (by comparison with the mobility of the standards). Lane-to-lane variation may also be detected if two standards are used but they migrate differently. A greater range of size standards permits more accurate size estimation, and allows identification of conformational effects on mobility as well as electrophoretic variability.Anomalous mobility due to differences in the quantity of sample loaded may also be detected.Control: Load two different quantities of the same MW marker on the gel Strategy PurposeMass per band control: Loading two different quantities of the same size marker will yield important information about mobility shifts due to mass per band differences.Allows detection of mass effects on mobility. Also may show lane-to-lane variation during gel electrophoresis.Control: Salt effects controlStrategy PurposeRun markers beside unknown with and without the salt contained in the experimental digest.Detects any gel retardation that may occur due to the presence of high salt concentrations in sample.Control: Markers of known mass are run in a dilution series1.Williams, R., Kline, M. and Smith, R. (1996) BSA and restriction enzyme digestions. Promega Notes 59,46.2.Lepinske, M. (1996) BSA and restriction enzyme digestions. Promega Notes 60, 28.Restriction Enzyme ActivityStrategyPurpose Bands of similar MW are chosen in markerand experimental lanes. The mass of theband in question is compared to a controlbased on its staining intensity. It is crucial thatmany dilutions are run side-by-side in order toachieve the most accurate visual comparison. The quantity of an unknown DNA sample may be assessed in this manner or used to confirm a result obtained by spectrophotometry.References Back to topRestriction enzymes differ in their reaction kinetics. As a result, variations from the recommended incubationtime, number of units used, substrate amount, and/or total reaction volume should be considered carefully toensure complete digestion. The following table gives an indication of the activity of Promega blue/white cloning-qualified and genome-qualified restriction enzymes under varying reaction conditions. Variations in the number ofenzyme units used and the reaction incubation times were tested. In each case the reaction volume (50µl) andthe amount/type of DNA substrate (1µg) were the same as that used in the unit definition assay. Incubation timefor the unit definition assay is one hour.Table 2.2.

Back to topSubstrates commonly used for restriction enzyme digestion include phage DNA, plasmid DNA, genomic DNA,PCR products and double-stranded oligonucleotides. The concentration of the DNA sample can influence thesuccess of a restriction digestion. Viscous DNA solutions, resulting from large amounts of DNA in too small of avolume, can inhibit diffusion and can significantly reduce enzyme activity (1) . DNA concentrations that are toolow also may inhibit enzyme activity (see Substrate Quality ). Typical K m values for restriction enzymes arebetween 1nM and 10nM, and are template-dependent (2) . Recommended final DNA concentrations for digestionrange from 0.02-0.2µg/µl. Substrate structural variations, concentration and special considerations are discussedbelow according to DNA type.Lambda DNA: Lambda DNA is a linear DNA that is an industry standard for the measurement and expression ofunit activity for most restriction enzymes. In general, one unit is sufficient to cut 1µg of lambda DNA in 1 hourunder optimal reaction conditions in a reaction volume of 50µl. In lambda DNA, the cos ends, (12-base,complimentary, single-stranded overhangs at the end of each molecule) may re-anneal during digestion. Thiscan give the appearance that digestion is incomplete. To avoid this problem, heat the DNA at 65°C for 5 minutesprior to electrophoresis to melt ends that have annealed.Plasmid DNA: Circular, supercoiled plasmid DNA typically ranges from 3-10kb in size. Compared to linear DNA,plasmids often require more units of restriction enzyme for complete cleavage due to the supercoiling (1) or thetotal number of sites to be digested (see Recognition Site Density ). See Digestion of Supercoiled Plasmid DNAfor information on the relative units needed for complete cleavage of a typical plasmid vector with commoncloning enzymes. If a supercoiled plasmid is first linearized with another restriction enzyme or relaxed with topoisomerase, less enzyme may be needed for digestion.Genomic DNA: Digestion of genomic DNA can be difficult due to methylation and viscosity. If methylation is a concern, consider using isochizomers with different methylation sensitivities (see Methylation Sensitivity of Isoshizomer/Neoschizomer Pairs). Viscosity can be adjusted by increasing the reaction volume. Genomic DNA often digests more efficiently when it is diluted to a minimum concentration of 10µg per 50-200µl. If this is not possible, heating the DNA at 65ºC for ten minutes prior to the addition of the restriction enzyme can enhance activity (3) . Addition of spermidine to final concentration of 1-5mM also has been reported to increase enzyme activity in the digestion of genomic DNA (4) . Addition of BSA to restriction digests at a final concentration of0.1mg/ml may also improve enzyme activity.PCR Products: PCR-amplified DNA may be digested with restriction enzymes that have recognition sequences within the amplified sequence or in the primer regions. The number of enzyme units needed must be balanced with the total number of sites to assure complete cleavage. Longer incubation times may be required to ensure complete digestion. Enzymes with low overdigestion values (<12 units/16 hours) should be avoided in overnight digestions, as star activity or trace contaminants present in these enzymes may lead to problems. Consult the Promega Product Information sheet for the overdigestion value of the enzyme. For many common restriction enzymes, acceptable activity is seen in PCR buffer, although digestion after amplification may not result in the expected compatible ends due to residual polymerase activity (5) . Digestion near the end of a PCR product may also present problems. Restriction enzymes require varying amounts of flanking DNA around the recognition site, usually 1-3 bases but occasionally more (See Digestion of Sites Close to the End of Linear DNA). If an oligonucleotide primer is designed with a cut site that is too close to the end of the DNA, the site may cut poorly or not at all. Since it is very difficult to assay for cutting near the end of DNA, the effectiveness of compensation with extra enzyme units or increased incubation time is difficult to determine. Use of proofreading enzymes in PCR may also complicate the situation as these enzymes are capable of degrading the 3´ ends of amplimers, interfering with complete digestion by restriction enzymes. The use of high dNTP concentrations and immediate cooling to 4°C after PCR will reduce such degradation. Another reason for incomplete digestion of PCR fragments may be primer dimers. If the restriction site is built into the primer, primer dimers will contain a double-stranded version of the site, usually in vast molar excess over that of the desired target PCR fragment. This problem can be easily avoided by purifying the PCR fragment prior to restriction enzyme digestion using the Wizard® PCR Preps DNA Purification System (Cat.# A7170).Double-Stranded Oligonucleotides: Many of the same considerations for PCR products apply to the digestion of double-stranded oligonucleotides. In this case high densities of recognition sites per unit of mass can be present and the site may also be near the end of the DNA molecule. Again, longer digestion times and/or more enzyme may be needed. Enzymes with a low overdigestion specification (12 units/16 hours) should be avoided in overnight digestions.Single-Stranded DNA: Cleavage of single-stranded DNA, although at a greatly reduced rate compared with double-stranded DNA, has been reported for a few restriction enzymes (6) . Studies have shown, however, that several restriction enzymes that appear to cleave single-stranded DNA actually recognize folded-back duplex regions within the single-stranded genomes (e.g., M13, f1, single-stranded phiX174) (7)(8) . Therefore, these enzymes are not digesting single-stranded DNA, rather individual sites that are in the duplex form.DNA-RNA Hybrids: Digestion of DNA-RNA hybrid molecules has been described for several restriction enzymes (AluI, EcoRI, HaeIII, HhaI, HindIII, MspI, SalI, ThaI) (9) . In these cases, the DNA strand of the hybrid was digested in the identical place as duplex DNA. Digestion required 20 to 50-fold higher enzyme levels than those needed for duplex DNA. It is possible but not proven that the RNA was also cleaved with large excesses of enzyme.Influence of Flanking Sequence: The sequences flanking the restriction enzyme recognition sequence can influence the cleavage rate of many restriction enzymes although the differences are usually less than 10-fold. A small number of enzymes (e.g., NaeI, HpaII, SacII, NarI, EcoRII) exhibit more pronounced site preferences and are designated Type IIe. See Site Preferences and Turbo™ Restriction Enzymes for further information.Methylation: Methylation of nucleotides within restriction enzyme recognition sequences can affect digestion. Methylation may occur as 4-methylcytosine, 5-methylcytosine, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine or 6-methyladenine in DNA from bacteria (including plasmids), eukaryotes and their viruses. The sensitivity, or lack thereof, to site-specific methylation, is known for many restriction enzymes (10) . Often, isoschizomers differ in their methylation sensitivity. Refer to Table 3.6 for further information.B. SUBSTRATE QUALITYGeneral Quality of the DNA Substrate and Effect on Digestion: Highly purified DNA is required for efficient restriction enzyme digestions. Contaminants commonly used during the purification of DNA such as protein, phenol, chloroform, ethanol, EDTA, SDS, CsCl and NaCl may interfere with restriction enzyme performance if not eliminated prior to digestion (1) . Organic solvents may denature the enzyme and additional salt contamination may decrease enzyme activity. Because contaminants are usually dose dependent, inhibitory effects will increase with the volume of DNA added to the digestion reaction. Protein contaminants in DNA can include nucleases that are activated by the addition of Mg2+ or salt in the restriction enzyme buffer. The presence of such nuclease activity will result in degradation of the substrate DNA, evidenced upon electrophoresis as a smear or a loss of DNA compared with a control sample of untreated DNA. Other potentiali i l d DNA bi di i hi h i ll i f i h h bili f hC. RECOGNITION SITE DENSITYcontaminants include DNA binding proteins, which may sterically interfere with the ability of the enzyme toefficiently find its recognition site and/or retard electrophoretic mobility of the restriction fragments.DNA samples are often stored in Tris-EDTA (TE) buffer since EDTA inactivates most nucleases that co-purifywith DNA by chelating the divalent cations required for their activity. However, restriction enzymes requiredivalent cations for activity and may be inhibited if too much EDTA is present in the final reaction. Lowconcentrations of EDTA (less than 0.05mM) introduced into the restriction enzyme reaction as in the DNAstorage buffer do not substantially affect restriction enzyme activity.Some of the most commonly encountered problems for specific DNA preparations are discussed below andsuggestions for optimizing the performance of restriction enzymes on these substrates are provided.Miniprep DNA: DNA purified from minipreps can be of poor quality due to contaminants such as phenol,chloroform, protein or RNA. In addition, some bacterial strains used to amplify plasmid DNA (e.g., HB101)contain a greater amount of nuclease than others (e.g., JM109). Such enzymatic contaminants may only becomeapparent when activated by the Mg 2+ and salt present in restriction digest buffers. Phenol/chloroform extractionmay be required to remove these contaminants even after CsCl purification. Dialysis and/or multiple ethanolprecipitations with 2.5M ammonium acetate and drying can remove many of the interfering substancesintroduced during purification. Ammonium acetate, which is a volatile substance, has unique and beneficialproperties compared with other salts used for nucleic acid precipitation, but must be used in substantially higherconcentrations (1) .Alternatively, the Wizard ® Plus SV Minipreps DNA Purification Systems (Cat.# A1330) provide an easy andeffective way to isolate and purify DNA, free of salt or macromolecular contaminants. The addition of spermidineto a final concentration of 1mM and/or BSA to a final concentration of 0.1mg/ml can also improve digestion ofpoor quality miniprep DNA.Genomic DNA: Genomic DNA frequently contains more contaminants than plasmid DNA. Best results areobtained when the absorbance ratios at A 260/A 280 are at least 1.8. Spermidine can be added to a finalconcentration of 1mM and/or BSA to a final concentration of 0.1mg/ml to improve digestion of poor qualitygenomic DNA. For further information see Digestion of High Molecular Weight DNA .Genomic DNA Embedded in Agarose plugs: Pulsed field gel electrophoresis permits the resolution ofextremely large DNA fragments. Genomic DNA purified by traditional techniques can contain double-strandedbreaks due to mechanical shear forces. Such breaks can be a source of background in megabase mapping offragments of 50-1000kb. To avoid this, mammalian, bacterial and yeast cells can be embedded in agarose stripsand the cells lysed and treated with proteinase K in situ (11) . Most restriction enzymes can cut DNA embeddedin agarose provided that more enzyme and longer incubation times are used. A good rule of thumb is to use 5-10units of enzyme per microgram of DNA and to avoid using restriction enzymes with low overdigestion values(<20 units/16 hours), which can cause problems during longer incubations with excess enzyme. For furtherinformation, refer to Digestion of High Molecular Weight DNA .Genomic DNA Purified From Blood. The anti-coagulant used during blood collection can affect the ability ofrestriction enzymes to completely digest DNA. Use EDTA as an anti-coagulant rather than Heparin, which canbind tightly to the enzyme and interfere with digestion. The absorbance ratios at A 260/A 280 should be at least 1.8,indicating that protein has been removed efficiently. A number of rapid DNA purification protocols have beenwritten that do not require separation of white cells from red cells (12) (13) . These techniques can yield goodquality DNA from small volumes of blood, but the DNA obtained after scale-up may be of poorer quality. Forlarger blood samples, a technique that separates white blood cells from red blood cells, such as pelleting redblood cells through a Ficoll ® gradient, is recommended prior to DNA purification.Promega offers the Wizard ® Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Cat.# A1120) for the isolation of genomic DNA fromwhite blood cells (with reagents/protocol for removal of red cells), tissue cultured cells, animal tissue, plant tissueand Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. DNA purified with this system is suitable for digestion withrestriction enzymes.PCR Products: Contaminants in PCR such as salts, glycerol, and primer dimers can inhibit restriction enzymeactivity. The Wizard ® PCR Preps DNA Purification System (Cat.# A7170) provides a reliable method forpurification of double-stranded PCR-amplified DNA from any salts or macromolecular contaminants.Restriction enzyme activity units are usually defined based on a one-hour digest of 1µg of lambda DNA. Whendigesting other substrates, adjustments may be needed based on the amount of substrate, the number ofrecognition sites per molecule and the incubation time. The following table illustrates the effect of differences insubstrate recognition sites per molecule for Eco R I while keeping the substrate mass and incubation timeconstant.Table 2.3.

1.What are the origin and features of literary theory in classical times? P1-21)It originates in all societies from the very earliest times. And it is related to the Greek forms.They were tied in very tightly to specific social occasion, for instance, plays recitation of Homeric epics, epinician or victory odes were conducted in different rituals.2) a.It focused on concept genre , which sprang up almost automatically in Greek …literary‟ theory.b. The element of ritual was modified by the element of agon or contest.c. Greek plays, epics and odes were all performed to an audience. The role of audience was inescapable.d. The textual object of Greek …literary‟ theory is the term poiesis. It is in its relations with neighbouring areas of verbal composition.e. It makes no clear separation between the language of poiesis and the language of legal debate, or political debate, or public speaking.2. By the first century B. C., the rhetorical critics had established two important systems of classification. What are they? Expound them in details. P41)The first system of classification was a division of stylistic registers into the high (or grand), the middle (or moderate), and the low(or plain).The grand style calls for strong emotion and elevated language, the plain style calls for quiet simplicity, and relatively unadorned language, the middle style is a quiet but not simple style, it calls for sweetness, smoothness, flowingness. Each style is considered appropriate for specific audiences and specific forms of persuasion. The grand style serves to sway an audience to resolution and decision, the middle style serves to win an audience by charming conciliation, and the plain style serves to convince by argument.2)The second system was the system of tropes and figures. A trope is a deviation from the normal use of an individual word, while a figure is a deviation from the normal arrangement of words or the normal sequence of thought. The tropes include metaphor, synecdoche, and metonymy. Figures and tropes are viewed as ornaments or clothing for an already existing material and the same may be said of all other stylistic devices discussed by rhetorical critics3. What are the features of Rhetoric tradition? P51) The first feature of Rhetoric tradition is that the traditional separation of form and content is about all a tradition of rhetorical criticism.2) Another feature of the rhetorical tradition is the emphasis upon details at the expanse of larger wholes. Large-scale unity is not a major concern for the rhetorical critics.3) The last feature is that rhetorical criticism was a very conservative discipline. Its history contains no drastic challenges or revolutions of the kind associated with later literary criticism, which has typically been affected by the changeability of the object, literature.4. What are the three most plausibe criteria for defining literature? P61)The quality of dramatization.2) The quality of fictionality.3)A special figurative quality of language.5. Discuss Plato’s theory of imitation or mimesis. P6-101)Mimesis is a critical and philosophical term that carries a wide range of meanings, which include imitation, representation, mimicry, imitatio, receptivity, nonsensuous similarity, the act of resembling, the act of expression, and the presentation of the self.In ancient Greece, mimesis was an idea that governed the creation of works of art, in particular, with correspondence to the physical world understood as a model for beauty, truth, and the good. Plato contrasted mimesis, or imitation, with diegesis, or narrative.Plato saw in mimesis the representation of nature. Plato wrote about mimesis in both Ion and The Republic (Books II, III, and X). In Ion, he states that poetry is the art of divine madness, or inspiration. Because the poet is subject to this divine madness, it is not his/her function to convey the truth.[citation needed] As Plato has it, truth is the concern of the philosopher only. As culture in those days did not consist in the solitary reading of books, but in the listening to performances, the recitals of orators (and poets), or the acting out by classical actors of tragedy, Plato maintained in his critique that theatre was not sufficient in conveying the truth.[citation needed] He was concerned that actors or orators were thus able to persuade an audience by rhetoric rather than by telling the truth.[citation needed]In Book II of The Republic, Plato describes Socrates' dialogue with his pupils. Socrates warns we should not seriously regard poetry as being capable of attaining the truth and that we who listen to poetry should be on our guard against its seductions, since the poet has no place in our idea of God.In developing this in Book X, Plato told of Socrates' metaphor of the three beds: one bed exists as an idea made by God (the Platonic ideal); one is made by the carpenter, in imitation of God's idea; one is made by the artist in imitation of the carpenter's.2) Imitation imitates men performing actions either forced or voluntary, and believing that they are either successful or not in these actions, and feeling pain or pleasure as a result of it all.Plato also uses the term mimesis in a more restricted, though still related, sense. That is, he distinguishes between mimesis as the speech of a character directly reproduced, and diegesis as narration of doings and sayings. Plato disapproves of both imitation in general and dramatised dialogue in particular.Plato disapproval is at bottom a disapproval of any form of copying. Because, in his view, imitation cannot see through to the most real reality, the true. In drama, impersonations rub off very readily onto the impersonator, becoming lasting disposition of personality.Plato's case against mimesis in the unrestricted sense focuses upon the fact that drama and epic imitate the world of perceptual appearances.6. There are three worlds in Plato’s opinion. What are they? What are their relationship? P8-91)There is, first, the world that consists of physical bodies: of stones and of stars; of plants and of animals; but also of radiation, and of other forms of physical energy. I will call this physical world …world 1‟.If we so wish, we can subdivide the physical world 1 into the world of non-living physical objects and into the world of living things, of biological objects; though the distinction is not sharp.There is, secondly,the mental or psychological world, the world of our feelings of pain and of pleasure, of our thoughts, of our decisions, of our perceptions and our observations; in other words, the world of mental or psychological states or processes, or of subjective experiences. I will call it …world 2‟. World 2 is immensely important, especially from a human point of view or from a moral point of view. Human suffering belongs to world 2; and human suffering, especially avoidable suffering, is the central moral problem for all those who can help.By world 3 I mean the world of the products of the human mind, such as languages; tales and stories and religious myths; scientific conjectures or theories, and mathematical constructions; songs and symphonies; paintings and sculptures. The reality of the mental world 2 - and with it, the reality of human suffering -has been sometimes denied; more recently by certain monistic materialists or physicalists, or by certain radical behaviourists. On the other hand, the reality of the world 2 of subjective experiences is admitted by common sense.Many of the objects belonging to world 3 belong at the same time also to the physical world 1. Michelangelo‟s sculpture The Dying Slave is both a block of marble, belonging to the world 1 of physical objects, and a creation of Michelangelo‟s mind, and as such belonging to world 3. The same holds of course for paintings.2) In Plato's opinion, the three worlds are the world of perceptual appearances, the world of the reality of abstractions, and the world of drama,epic, ode and lyric.Plato sees the world of perceptual appearances as secondary and derivative.According to Plato, the world of perceptual appearances is nothing more than an imitation of the reality of abstractions.

P10-14(可能是论述题)1)Compared with Plato, Aristotle appears as a less absolute theorist, more interested in describing and classifying things as they are, with less regard to ultimate principles. In the Poetics, he follows Plato in defining poetry as mimesis, specifically the imitation of an action. But whereas Plato condemns mere copying, Aristotle views the impulse to mimicry as a natural healthy human impulse: (引文见课本P10)2)The difference between Aristotle and Plato arises not merely from a difference of temperament but from a difference of general conceptual framework. Aristotle's way of thinking about the world is dominated by the model of the biological organism. Clearly, the Aristotelian version of mimesis is no mere matter of passive copying.3)Aristotle claims for poetry a higher kind of truth: not the reporting of factual details but the understanding of underlying generalities. Again, this is a rebuttal of Plato and his view that poetry is cut off from the universal because it is cut off fromthe reality of pure abstractions. Aristotle envisages another kind of generality: generality of the species.4)In focusing upon emotional effect, Aristotle is promoting that very aspect of poetry to which Plato most objected. But then Aristotle does not regard the emotions as intrinsically harmful but as a natural part of human life. Aristotle challenges Plato's assumption that people who 'indulge' in fictionally-created emotions will become prone to excessive emotionality in their lives generally.8. Discuss Aristotle’s theory of tragedy. P12-15Aristotle asserts that 'the characters [ in tragedy] should be lifelike', he also asserts that 'comedy aims at representing men as worse than they are nowadays, tragedy as better'. He considers the genre of tragedy superior to the genre of epic.The main goal that Aristotle proposes for both tragedy and epic is the goal of unity-- a natural enough goal when works of art are conceived on the biological model.Other goals proposed by Aristotle have to do with audience-- effect. For tragedy, Aristotle defines a specific tragic effect, a distinctive emotional response which the genre seeks to arouse in the audience. Tragedy, he says, should represent actions capable of awakening pity and fear.Aristotle claims that the emotional experience of a tragedy brings about a catharsis (katharsis) od pity and fear in the audience.Having defined the appropriate effect of tragedy, Aristotle goes on consider the type of hero required to produce this effect. The fall of a wholly good man does not generate pity and fear. The appropriate type of hero is a man remarkable for neither virtue nor vice, for neither justice nor depravity, but a man whose fall is due to some error or weakness, some hamartia.9. What is Aristotle’s organic principle? P10-11Aristotle appears as a less absolute theorist,,more interested in describing and classifying things as they are,with less regard to ultimate principles.His way of thinking about the world is dominated by the model of the biological organism.Art imitates Nature is Aristotle‟s general principle,in the sense that the arts,like Nature,work to unfold the potentials hidden within things.In deed ,since a great many accidental factors intervene to prevent things from growing as they “want”in the real world ,Aristotle even suggests that the arts may “on the basis of Nature ,carry things further than Nature can.10. What are Horace’s literary theories? P15-181)Horace’s literary theory appears especially in Epistles 2.1 and 2.2,and above all in the espitle that has come to be known as the Ars poetica.His stance is that of the experienced practioner,passing on valuable advice.Whereas Aristotle expounds principles,Horace lays down rules.2)Like the schooolroom grammarian,Horace speaks the language of right and wrong,the language of social duty.3)Horace recognises a larger number of genres than Aristotle ,including his own favourite genre of satire,But his approach is actually more limiting:less an examination of genres which happen to exist,more a designation of genres which may be allowed to exist.4)Horace’s key concept of decorum.In Horace’s way of thinking ,the ultimate goal is more easily lost gight of .5)Horace consistently views poesis as a craft,in Horace’s thinking ,”native genius “is indeed akin to aptitude .6)He continues to speak of imitating from reality.7)Horace’s new emphasis upon moral value in poetry,he institutes a bifurcation of virtue.In general,Horace‟s importance to the history of literary theory lies not in any profoundly original ideas, but in the new twist that he gave to the ideas of Aristotle.11. Discuss Longinus’theory of the sublime. P19-211)For Longginus,the sublime is not just one option out of a range of options .It is the essence of all great poetry and oratory,Pinning supreme value to a special use of language,he has no time for concepts of genre.Nor is he interested in the usual rhetorical goal of persuasion.2)The element of preaching in Longinus is reminiscent of more recent manifestos in which poets or novelists have proclaimed their own new way of writing as the only true way ,But Longinus stands in outright opposition to the literary tendencies of his time.3)For Longinus ,the sublime is a matter of reader response,It is true that he also invokes the author and the need for grand ideas impregnated with a noble inspiration,”Sublimity is the echo of a noble mind”,he writes,But his theory is essentially affective,not self-expressive.4)Longinus is interested in an extremity of effect that is always in danger of topling over into absurdity.5)The sublime as defined by Longinus is virtually beyond language,or at least ordinary literal language,He is concerned with what a text commun icates rather than the writer‟s uncommunicated soul.6)Longinus nonetheless gestures towards a poetic “rightness”which somehow transcends the literal meanings involved.7)He regards concision as generally inimical to the goals of transport,wonder and awe ,instead he favours the appropriate use of amplification and periphrasis ,two standard devices in the rhetorician‟s armoury.12. Dante Alighieri argues that the full four levels of meaning in Biblical exegesis can also be found in secular, vernacular poetry. What are they? Give some examples to expound them.P31-3213.There is one early battle in the Renaissance between Latin and the national vernacular. What is it? Expound it in detail. P31-321)One early battle in the renaissance was fought between those who believed that the new literature should be written in latin and those who believed that it should be written in the national vernacular. On the one hand, the humanist enterprise led to the recovery of a “pure” roman latin, as distinct from the delegat ed church latin of the middle ages. However, the growing power of the centralised ruler, and the growing power of the centralised ruler corresponded to a growth of national consciousness. This curious contradiction between cultural forces and socio-political forces was resolved in favor of the socio-political forces.2)The battle was fought our first in italy the earliest reasoned argument for a vernacular literature appeared in the 14th century. The argument also became a debate between different forms of the vernacular. Finally, the continuation of the debate into the early renaissance resulted in a victory for the school.3)A side ............................quantitative verse.(32页第二段开始)4)In hindsight........................assumptions.14. Discuss the idealising strain in the early Renaissance. P33-351)The renaissance period was still creative in its relation to antiquity. But its accurate and less overwhelming.2)For literary theory, the most........publishing history(33页第二段). Ariosto filled his romance with fantastic beings and events, and audience reaction clearly showed that such novel inventions had a special appeal of their own. The justification of marvels and the marvelous became one significant strand of renaissance theory.3)Moreover, the renaissance was still a christian age. For all the fascination of the pagan classics, there were certain christian attitudes that could not be left behind. Above all, literature had to be justified as morally useful.4)Drawing upon renaissance notions of “divine”inspiration and marvelous invention, sidney effectively outmanoeuvres the whole issue of truth.5)Theoretically, this..........................important.(35页最后一段)15. Discuss the Aristotelians’principle of verisimilitude. P39-39Verisimilitude means, literally, likeness to reality. With the principle of verisimilitude, the Italian Aristotelians gave more weight to believability, less to emotional effect;In the first place verisimilitude has nothing to do with everyday realism or the limitation of how a majority of people spend the majority of their lives; then, verisimilitude is still the way we tend to judge credibility in relation to public events; last, according to the principle of verisimilitude, credibility depends upon probability, probability depends upon truth-to-type;Of all the Italian Aristoteans, Castelvetro is the most interesting, and particularly extreme is his insistance upon verisimilitude;Considerations of verisimilitude also apply to presentation and performance.16. In the first half of the seventeenth century, there was the purification of language. Explain it in detail. P40-41From the very start of the seventeenth century, the wholesale naturalisation of foreign terms advocated by du Bellay was reversed by Francois de Malherbe, who sought to restrict and stabilise language in the interests of clear communication.During the Neoclassical period, the accolades go to perspicuity, that is, the quality of …see-through-able-ness‟ in language.Indeed, Neoclassical writers have a general predilection for analogies to sight and light and seeing: sight being the most objectifying sense, where the subject observes at a distance and the object appears as if untouched and unmediated.17. Discuss the scientific attitude and its influence in the Neoclassical theory. P42-45Scientific attitude:the rational attitude is objective and looks out beyond what merely happens to be in the immediate vicinity of the subject.This is also the scientific attitude, in the 17tn century,scientists had had to pull down human pride in a very drastic way,displacing the Earth from the centre of the universe..Ideally,scientific attitude involves a kind of modesty in the face of the world,a willingness to accept self-reducing,self-controlling laws.1)Neoclassical literary theorists embrace this kind of modesty almost for its own sake.Critic must recognise their own limits,but it is not by looking out to the observable factual evidence that Neoclassical critics transcend the subjective point of view.2)As regards the authority of the past,Neoclassical critics believe that the writer can be just as True Nature by imitating the Greek and Roman classics as by imitating actual reality.There is a sense of self-centred pride reduced to a proper humility.3)The authority of the past was also accepted on the subject of genres. Neoclassical theory allowed only a small number of genres,and no mixing between genres.4)This attitude helps to explain the Neoclassical concept of Nature.This is not a Nature of scenes and phenomena uncontaminated by human hand,but a Nature which includes and centres upon human nature.5)Another recurring Neoclassical concept is decorum which means fittingness,Neoclassical critics give the term a bewildering multiplicity of application.18. Discuss John Dryden‟s literary theory in the Neoclassical period. P46-471) In many of Dryden‟s critical statements, Dryden shows himself wholly in agreement with the new trend.But he is also aware of a distinctively English literary tradition,with specific reference points in Shakespeare,Beaumont and Fletcher,Joson and Chaucer.2) He insists that different national audience have their own temperaments and requirement.The Neoclassical assumption of an essential human nature that is constant across cultures and history is here under challenge.3) Dryden‟s most important piece of literary criticism,An Essay of Dramatic Poesy,is in large part a defence of English practice as against French theory,in which,drama is defined as a just and lively imageof human nature.4) Variety is a recurring concept in Dryden‟s criticism.The weighting of character above action had already been advanced by the Italian Aristotelians,but Dryden gives it a distinctively English twist.5) Dryden is more important as a practical than as a theoretical critic.His appreciations and evaluation and contrast ,would loom much larger in a history of practical literary criticism.19. Discuss Samuel Johnson‟s literary theory in the Neoclassical period. P47-481) Samuel‟s criticism is remarkable for judgements and insights into particular authors rather than for any development of a consistent theoretical position.Johnson is essentially Neoclassical in his attitudes,but with certain very significant reservations.2) Johnson values variety:the great source of pleasure is variety.Uniformity must tire at last,though it be uniformity of excellence.3) He also places temphasis on imitating real life,and dismisses abruptly the imitation of past works of literature:No man was ever great by imitation.Nor will he allow an a priori absolute status to Neoclassical rules:there is always an appeal open from criticism to nature.4) He suspects the artificial conventionality of the well-established classical genre of the pastoral.,he also insists the moral role of literature,and requires the writer to select from nature with a moral end in view.5) He believes in starting from actual observation,like the British cist philosophers.Moving away from the apparatus of Neoclassical verisimilitude,he takes a step in the direction of modern notions of realism and the realistic.20. Discuss the concept of the sublime in the Age of Sensibility in Britain. P53-54The term has already appeared in quotes from Joseph and Thomas Warton. The general reverence for everything Classical thinking; for a long time, however, the sublime was restricted to a superficial quality of style. John Dennis regarded passion as the essential feature of poetry, and gave highest praise to religious poetry because of its power to generate sublime feelings of admiration and awe. The most important theorist of the sublime was Edmund Burke. He distinguishes between two quite different forms of aesthetic response: our sense of the beautiful versus our sense of the sublime. Although both are valuable in their own ways, it is clear that a higher level of value is associated with the greaterintensity of the sublime. Our sense of the sublime is inspired by ruggedness, irregularity, vastness, power and obscurity. Terror and fear are mind-numbing, reason-numbing emotions.21. Discuss Giambattista Vico‟s literary theory. P57Vico founded the scientific study of culture.He thought that mythological thinking was determined by the early state of human language which lacked abstract terms.The early state of language is metaphorical ,and myth is a metaphorical way of thinking.He evidently entail a complete rejection of the Neoclassical perspective.Viewed in relation to myth,poetry is n longer something merely added on top of ordinary rational thinking.He argues that metaphor is thinking.(56页第三行,第十一行,第十九行,倒数第二段第三行和第十一行)22. Discuss Denis Diderot‟s literary theory.

上海市高级口译第一阶段笔试分类模拟高级阅读(一)(总分:100.00,做题时间:90分钟)一、SECTION 1 READING TEST(总题数:4,分数:50.00)"They treat us like mules," the guy installing my washer tells me, his eyes narrowing as he wipes his hands, I had just complimented him and his partner on the speed and assurance of their work. He explains that it"s rare that customers speak to him this way. I know what he"s talking about. My mother was a waitress all her life, in coffee shops and fast-paced chain restaurants. It was hard work, but she liked it, liked "being among the public", as she would say. But that work had its sting, too—the customer who would treat her like a servant or, her biggest complaint, like she was not that bright.There"s a lesson here for this political season: the subtle and not-so-subtle insults that blue-collar and service workers endure as part of their working lives. And those insults often have to do with intelligence.We like to think of the United States as a classless society. The belief in economic mobility is central to the American Dream, and we pride ourselves on our spirit of egalitarianism. But we also have a troubling streak of aristocratic bias in our national temperament, and one way it manifests itself is in the assumptions we make about people who work with their hands. Working people sense this bias and react to it when they vote. The common political wisdom is that hot-button social issues have driven blue-collar voters rightward. But there are other cultural dynamics at play as well. And Democrats can be as oblivious to these dynamics as Republicans—though the Grand Old Party did appeal to them in St. Paul.Let"s go back to those two men installing my washer and dryer. They do a lot of heavy lifting quickly—mine was the first of 15 deliveries—and efficiently, to avoid injury. Between them there is ongoing communication, verbal and nonverbal, to coordinate the lift, negotiate the tight fit, move in rhythm with each other. And all the while, they are weighing options, making decisions and solving problems—as when my new dryer didn"t match up with the gas outlet.Think about what a good waitress has to do in the busy restaurant: remember orders and monitor them, attend to a dynamic, quickly changing environment, prioritize tasks and manage the flow of work, make decisions on the fly. There"s the carpenter using a number of mathematical concepts—symmetry, proportion, congruence, the properties of angles—and visualizing these concepts while building a cabinet, a flight of stairs, or a pitched roof.The hairstylist"s practice is a mix of technique, knowledge about the biology of hair, aesthetic judgment, and communication skill. The mechanic, electrician, and plumber are troubleshooters and problem solvers. Even the routinized factory floor calls for working smarts. When has any of this made its way into our political speeches? From either party. Even on Labor Day. Last week, the GOP masterfully invoked some old cultural suspicions: country folk versus city and east-coast versus heartland education. But these are symbolic populist gestures, not the stuff of true engagement. Judgments about intelligence carry great weight in our society, and we have a tendency to make sweeping assessments of people"s intelligence based on the kind of work they do.Political tributes to labor over the next two months will render the muscled arm, sleeve rolled tight against biceps. But few will also celebrate the thought bright behind the eye, or offer an image that links hand and brain. It would be fitting in a country with an egalitarian vision of itself to have a truer, richer sense of all that is involved in the wide range of work that surrounds and sustains us.Those politicians who can communicate that sense will tap a deep reserve of neglected feeling.And those who can honor and use work in explaining and personalizing their policies will finda welcome reception.(分数:12.50)(1).To illustrate the intelligence of the working class, the author cites the examples of all of the following EXCEPT ______.(分数:2.50)A.hairstylist and waitressB.carpenter and mechanicC.electrician and plumberD.street cleaner and shop assistant √解析:[解析] 对文章基本内容的理解,具体内容见第四至六段。

There are numerous reasons that the fatigue occurs. In many cases, it is because of a buildup of lactic acid in the muscle. A buildup of lactic acid in the muscles causes blood circulation in the hand to decrease. As blood decreases, so does oxygen. A person who is exposed to continual vibrations at work can also suffer from fatigue and pain. High vibration tools can damage nerves and blood vessels in the fingers and cause discomfort.Fatigue can also occur because a person has lost the energy or motivation needed to complete a task. There are many benefits to reducing and eliminating hand fatigue.If a person can reduce fatigue, he or she can increase their productivity. For the reasons above, it is necessary to select the appropriate operating tool to work.1.2 ObjectThrough this experiment, we will research the effect of types of wrenches on operator's hand fatigue. Also we need to research which types of wrenches is better in some condition. At the same time we should learn deeply to use Brog scale.2 Method2.1 ParticipantsThe participants were healthy, had no muscle fatigue and had no intense exercise within 24 hours before the experiment. Although the participants’ age and weight are different weight, but the final data analysis will take into account these individual differences, that is to say we think the participants before the test are all the same.2.2 Experiment setupSince the experiment condition, we just choose 12 participants from each group. Each participant needs to be adept in screwing the nut. All of them are healthy and had no intense exercise within 24 hours before the experiment. Both of the right-hand dominant and left hand dominant is ok. Besides since the restrict of the experiment, we just use water operation to do the experiment. Each group need one people to record, one person to tighten the bolt and two persons to screw the bolt.All the tests are conducted in the same experimental environment including the same gripforce is 8 N·M.The experiment includes the measure of wrist fatigue after the task and the grip test before and after the experiment. In the experiment, to ensure that each subject test independently, trying to avoid the outside interference.2.3 Apparatus1. A experimental table which has 30 bolts (M8) fixed with equal distance, and 60 hexagon nut;2. A torque wrench (EQ-3010001) with torque range of 20-110NM;3. A 13mm fixed size wrench;4. A 13mm socket wrench;5. Electronic grip gauges (EH101);6. Borg scale.2.4 Experimental designThe steps are as follows:1. Before each task, we set the torque of torque wrench, which is 8NM in this experiment. Using the torque wrench to screw all the nuts on the bolts, therefore the nuts will be remove by the same force.2. Before each test we explain the purpose, methods and procedures of this experiment to the participants.3. Measure subject's right hand or left hand grip 3 times, and take the average.4. Participants use the 13mm fixed size wrench to remove all the screws by rightor left hand.5. After the task, measure right or left hand grip immediately, and we record the hand grip force and Brog scale.6. Rest for 20 minutes, use socket wrench to remove all the screws by right hands;7. After the task, measure right hand grip immediately, and we record the hand grip force and Brog scale.2.5 Data analysis2.5.1 Hand grip forceSubjects will measure the hand grip before the experiment, and after each experiment they should immediately measure the grip at that time. Through the analysis of grip difference, we need to discuss the effect of the types of wrench on the opponent's grip and hand fatigue.2.5.2 The Brog scaleWhile doing physical activity, we want you to rate your perception of exertion. This feeling should reflect how heavy and strenuous the exercise feels to you, combining all sensations and feelings of physical stress, effort, and fatigue.Look at the rating scale below while you are engaging in an activity; it ranges from 6 to 20, where 6 means "no exertion at all" and 20 means "maximal exertion." Choose the number from below that best describes your level of exertion. This will give you agood idea of the intensity level of your activity, and you can use this information toher own pace for some minutes13 on the scale is "somewhat hard" exercise, but it still feels OK to continue.17 "very hard" is very strenuous. A healthy person can still go on, but he or she really has to push him- or herself. It feels very heavy, and the person is very tired.19 on the scale is an extremely strenuous exercise level. For most people this is the most strenuous exercise they have ever experienced.2.5.3 FR indexFR means that the ratio of grip force and the Brog scale. Sometimes we can’t get the exact result from single factor such as the single grip force. But the FR index is more accuracy to describe the effect on hand fatigue. The larger the index is, the less fatigue the hand has.2.5.4 Statistical methodPaired Sample T Test is used to analyze the data before and after the experiment, which is to find the significant difference between the wrench types and hand fatigue.Correlation analysis is used to analysis the correlation between the wrench types and hand force and the Brog scale.3 Results(1) The fixed size wrench(p=0.002<0.05) and the socket wrench(p=0.008<0.05) have a significant effect on operator’s hand fatigue.(2) The fixed size wrench and the socket wrench have significant correlation. (p=0.008<0.05) And the fixed size wrench is better than the socket wrench for screwing nut. (mean value of fixed-socket=0.65374>0, p=0.000<0.05).4 Discussion4.1 The analysis of the wrench type effect40.52 to 35.93 for fixed size wrench, and from 40.52 to 34.69 for socket wrench. We make asocketThis table tells that the mean value difference between initial force and fixed size wrenchfinal force, and socket wrench final force. Each pair mean value difference has a significant correlation.4.2 The analysis of Brog scale.We can know that from Table.4.2.2 the fixed Brog scale and the socket Brog scale have no significant correlation(p=0.409<0.05) which means fixed size wrench and socket wrench has no difference on Brog scale. But Table.4.2.3 show that mean value difference of fixed size wrench and socket wrench have significant correlation(p=0.000<0.05). So hypothesis that before is not true.4.3 The analysis of grip force differencesize wrench and socket wrench. We can’t ensure that the difference effect on hand fatigue through the grip force. Since the experiment condition is restricted, the result of grip force is not exact.4.4 The analysis of FR indexTable.4.4.1 shows that the fixed size wrench and the socket wrench have significant correlation(p=0.008<0.05). There is significant different on FR index between the fixed sizewrench and socket wrench. Table.4.4.2 tells us that FR index mean value between the both wrenches have significant effect(p=0.000<0.05). Since the mean difference value is 0.065374>0, the FR index of fixed size wrench is bigger than that of socket wrench, which means that in this condition the fixed size wrench is better than the socket wrench on hand fatigue.4.5 The reasons of differenceBefore the test, we set the torque of torque wrench, which is 8NM in this experiment. Using the torque wrench to screw all the nuts on the bolts, therefore the nuts will be remove by the same torque. As is shown in Fig.1, this is a fixed size wrench. The bolt is on the point A, and our hand is on the point B. As shown in Fig.2, that is a socket wrench. The bolt is on the point C, and our hand is on the point D. According to the formula T=F∙D, the distance of socket wrench is larger than that of fixed size wrench and the torque we need to screw the bolt is the same, so the socket wrench need much larger force to screw the nut. Since the force we need is difference, our hands will different fatigue under the same other conditions.BAFig.1DCFig.25 ConclusionThrough this experiment, we research that the effect on hand fatigue between the both wrenches. Both of the wrenches have significant difference on hand fatigue. We can’t avoid the fatigue, but we can reduce the fatigue and the damage through the propel tools. The fixed size wrench is better for reducing the fatigue on some extend than the socket wrench. But on some conditions the socket wrench is better. For example, if the operation space is restricted, the fixed size wrench can’t reach the target bolt.This experiment has some faults, which we can get improved in the next experiment. For example, we can’t get enough large data to analyze the result. And it’s too hard to screw the bolt by using the socket hand under one hand only condition. We can improve the experiment condition by using two hands but the larger torque.Through this experiment, all of us had learned that many methods we can use to analyze the collected data. Only the data is large enough, we can get the exact result based on reality.。
