China on Film
Leading scholar Paul G. Pickowicz traces the dynamic history of Chinese filmmaking and discusses its course of development from the early days to the present. Moving decade by decade, he explores such key themes as the ever-shifting definitions of modern marriage in 1920s silent features, East-West cultural conflict in the movies of the 1930s, the strong appeal of the powerful melodramatic mode of the 1930s and 1940s, the polarizing political controversies surrounding Chinese filmmaking under the Japanese occupation of Shanghai in the 1940s, and the critical role of cinema during the bloody civil war of the late 1940s. Pickowicz then considers the challenging Mao years, including chapters on...
Biomimetic Materials for Tissue Regenerations, 2nd edition
In tissue engineering, the ultimate goal is to engineer an entire functioning organ that requires building complex structures of different tissue types. A three-dimensional scaffold seeded with desired cell types. In order to resemble the natural formations of the organs, cells have to be correctly located in relation to one another. It has been shown in cocultures that cells have the capability of spontaneous tissue-like organization when seeded into the scaffold. The ideal scaffolds should have an interconnected porous structure, well-designed pore size and adequate porosity to allow cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation. Moreover, effective bioactive agents and nutrient excha...
Bio-Inspired Computing: Theories and Applications
This two-volume set (CCIS 1565 and CCIS 1566) constitutes selected and revised papers from the 16th International Conference on Bio-Inspired Computing: Theories and Applications, BIC-TA 2021, held in Taiyuan, China, in December 2021. The 67 papers presented were thoroughly reviewed and selected from 211 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence; DNA and molecular computing; machine learning and computer vision.
A Chronology of Translation in China and the West
This book is a study of the major events and publications in the world of translation in China and the West from its beginning in the legendary period to 2004, with special references to works published in Chinese and English. It covers a total of 72 countries/places and 1,000 works. All the events and activities in the field have been grouped into 22 areas or categories for easy referencing. This book is a valuable reference tool for all scholars working in the field of translation.
Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Discrete Element Methods
This book presents the latest advances in Discrete Element Methods (DEM) and technology. It is the proceeding of 7th International Conference on DEM which was held at Dalian University of Technology on August 1 - 4, 2016. The subject of this book are the DEM and related computational techniques such as DDA, FEM/DEM, molecular dynamics, SPH, Meshless methods, etc., which are the main computational methods for modeling discontinua. In comparison to continua which have been already studied for a long time, the research of discontinua is relatively new, but increases dramatically in recent years and has already become an important field. This book will benefit researchers and scientists from the academic fields of physics, engineering and applied mathematics, as well as from industry and national laboratories who are interested in the DEM.
The Worldwide List of Alternative Theories and Critics
This Worldwide List of Alternative Theories and Critics (only avalailable in english language) includes scientists involved in scientific fields. The 2023 issue of this directory includes the scientists found in the Internet. The scientists of the directory are only those involved in physics (natural philosophy). The list includes 9700 names of scientists (doctors or diplome engineers for more than 70%). Their position is shortly presented together with their proposed alternative theory when applicable. There are nearly 3500 authors of such theories, all amazingly very different from one another. The main categories of theories are presented in an other book of Jean de Climont THE ALTERNATIVE THEORIES
Buddhism in Taiwan
Buddhism in Taiwan is the first work in a Western language to examine the institutional and political history of Chinese Buddhism in Taiwan. Tracing Buddhism's development on the island from Qing times through the late 1980s, it seeks to shed light on the ways in which changing social circumstances have impacted Buddhist thought and practice. It looks in particular at a number of significant changes that modernization has brought: the decline in clerical ordinations, the increasing prominence of nuns within the monastic order, the enhanced role of the laity, alterations in the content of lay precepts, the abandonment of funerals as a major source of income, the monastic order's loss of speci...
