Advanced Wing Chun Foundation - Sil Lim Tao
Advanced Wing Chun Foundation - Sil Lim Tao Advanced Wing Chun Foundation by Grandmaster Felix Leong is a detailed Wing Chun first form manual distilled from 3 distinct branches of Wing Chun. Grandmaster Felix Leong has studied Wing Chun for over 40 years under Grandmaster Ip Chun, Grandmaster Sum Ng and Grandmaster Pan Nam both in mainland China and Hong Kong. Such lifelong dedication and depth is rare if not unique in the world. This book contains an encyclopedic reference manual of the First Form Sil Lim Tao with detailed explanation for each sequence accompanied by its practical application. All sequences in the book are shown from 3 unique angles - front, side and top for maximum comprehension. This is the only Wing Chun book that contains all sequences photographed from three different angles from a Grandmaster`s who have mastered modern and traditional branches of Wing Chun.
mTOR Signaling in Metabolism and Cancer
The mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine kinase, is a central regulator for human physiological activity. Deregulated mTOR signaling is implicated in a variety of disorders, such as cancer, obesity, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. The papers published in this Special Issue summarize the current understanding of the mTOR pathway and its role in the regulation of tissue regeneration, regulatory T cell differentiation and function, and different types of cancer including hematologic malignancies, skin, prostate, breast, and head and neck cancer. The findings highlight that targeting mTOR pathway is a promising strategy to fight against certain human diseases.
Applied Orbit Perturbation and Maintenance
The first edition of this book summarized the perturbation theories and control (station keeping) algorithms needed to understand the dynamics, stability, and maintenance of those orbits. This second edition contains three new chapters that will enrich the reader's understanding of major perturbation theories through illuminating derivations.
Design Science and Its Importance in the German Mathematics Educational Discussion
This ICME-13 Topical Survey reviews the state-of-the-art by first exploring the roots and scope of design science. Second, it presents two examples of current design science projects that focus on substantial learning environments including a student and a teacher perspective. Subsequently, the book elaborates on how empirical research can be conceptualised within design science. Lastly, it explores developments in design science from a national and international perspective, while also discussing current trends in design research. Within the German-language tradition, considering ‘mathematics education as a design science’ primarily draws on the works of Wittmann. The core of this approach constitutes designing and investigating learning environments that involve substantial mathematics.
Renal Cell Carcinoma
Renal cancer is a health problem of major concern worldwide. Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immune check-point blockade treatments, alone or in combination, are giving promising results, failures are quite frequent due to intratumor heterogeneity and to the acquisition of drug resistance. The spectrum of renal cell carcinoma subtypes is wide. Up to 70–80% of renal tumors are clear cell renal cell carcinomas, a clinically aggressive tumor subtype linked to VHL gene inactivation. Next in frequency, the papillary renal cell carcinoma category encompasses an intricate puzzle of classic and newly described entities with poorly defined limits, some of them pending definite clarification...

Curcumin in Health and Disease
The plant-derived polyphenol curcumin has been used in promoting health and combating disease for thousands of years. Its therapeutic effects have been successfully utilized in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine in order to treat inflammatory diseases. Current results from modern biomolecular research reveal the modulatory effects of curcumin on a variety of signal transduction pathways associated with inflammation and cancer. In this context, curcumin’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumorigenic, and even anti-metastatic activities are discussed. On the cellular level, the reduced activity of several transcription factors (such as NFkB or AP-1) and the suppression of inflamm...
Competition Culture in Europe: Voices
European architectural competitions are described and evaluated for built environment students, professionals and people commissioning new buildings and public spaces. Case studies of competition design submission, with competitions data are supplemented with discourse on the culture and practice of competitions, their methodologies, opportunities, potential and pitfalls. The need for a unified language model for improving competitions practice in Europe is discussed and proposed.
