The global environment is constantly changing and our planet is getting warmer at an unprecedented rate. The study of the carbon cycle, and soil respiration, is a very active area of research internationally because of its relationship to climate change. It is crucial for our understanding of ecosystem functions from plot levels to global scales. Although a great deal of literature on soil respiration has been accumulated in the past several years, the material has not yet been synthesized into one place until now. This book synthesizes the already published research findings and presents the fundamentals of this subject. Including information on global carbon cycling, climate changes, ecosy...
When she saw him for the first time, on the night of the full moon, he was the wild wolf and plundered her beauty at no allowance.When she met him again, he was the Duke of the United Kingdom."From now on, when I stand you cannot sit, when I lie down you must sit on me and move yourself!""No revealing clothing, no contact with any other male except me......"

Cuproptosis is a new type of cell death induced by copper that differs from other types of programmed cell death. Copper ions were discovered to bind to lipoacyl proteins during the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, resulting in abnormal lipoacyl protein oligomerization. Moreover, copper ions can also reduce the level of iron-sulfur cluster proteins, thereby causing the toxic stress response in proteins and ultimately leading to cell death. So far, cuproptosis‘s role in tumors, as well as the underlying mechanisms, are still unclear and require further investigation. Recent research suggests that inducing programmed death of abnormal cells could be one of the future methods for disease treatment and prevention. It can slow the progression of the disease and, eventually, cure it by causing tumor cell cuproptosis. Currently, the drug delivery system has received a lot of attention. It is also a novel idea to treat tumors by developing a drug delivery system to induce abnormal cell cuproptosis, which will effectively reduce treatment complications and improve patients’ life quality.

In past twenty years or so, information technology has influenced and changed every aspect of our lives and our cultures. Without various IT-based applications, we would find it difficult to keep information stored securely, to process information and business efficiently, and to communicate information conveniently. In the future world, ITs and information engineering will play a very important role in convergence of computing, communication, business and all other computational sciences and application and it also will influence the future world's various areas, including science, engineering, industry, business, law, politics, culture and medicine. The International Conference on Informat...
Many Christian institutions have embraced new technologies, especially online education. But is it possible for us to grow spiritually through our digital communities? Steve Lowe and Mary Lowe, longtime proponents of online education, trace the motif of spiritual growth through Scripture and consider how students and professors alike might foster digital ecologies in which spiritual transformation can take place.
Lorsqu'il se suicide dans une prison de Pékin en 1602, Li Zhi (prononcer Li Dj) est l'un des personnages les plus controversés de son temps, l'un des auteurs les plus admirés en même temps que des plus violemment attaqués. Il a fait scandale en publiant quelques années plus tôt le Livre à brûler et le Livre à cacher, dans lesquels il dénonce avec autant de verve que de passion le confucianisme mandarinal de l'époque, touchant par certains de ses arguments les plus pénétrants aux fondements mêmes de l'idéologie dominante. Son œuvre est officiellement proscrite dès l'année de sa mort et restera interdite - mais lue par quelques-uns, en cachette jusqu'au début du 20enbsp; si...
Martial arts fiction has been synonymous with popular fiction in China from the Qing dynasty on. This book, the first to trace the early development of the martial arts novel in China, demonstrates that the genre took shape nearly a century earlier than generally recognized. Green Peony (1800), one of the earliest martial arts novels, lies at the center of a web of literary relations connecting many of the significant genres of fiction in its day. Adapted from a drum ballad, Green Peony parodies both previous popular fiction and the great Ming novels, generating humorous reflection on their values. By focusing on popular fiction and popular culture, Margaret B. Wan argues for the relevance of genre to literary criticism, the convergence of "popular" and "elite" fiction in the nineteenth century, and a general turn from didacticism to entertainment. Literary scholars, historians, and anyone who wishes to know more about Chinese popular culture in the Qing dynasty will benefit from reading this book.
