Advances in Integrative Medicine for Neurodegenerative Diseases: From Basic Research to Clinical Practice
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are disorders characterized by progressive loss of neurons and may finally lead to severe impairments even death. NDs are age-dependent disorders, growing evidence suggests that nearly all aged brains exhibit characteristic changes that are associated with neurodegeneration. As the global rapidly aging population, the prevalence of NDs is which have become the most dreaded disease of aged people. Studies report that the expenses of these older patients with NDs exceed the total medical expenses of patients with cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
Transradial Approach for Percutaneous Interventions
This book outlines the state of the art in transradial intervention and illustrates case-based learning for the transradial access (TR access) technique, especially in complex lesions. Offering a practical guide, it includes essential tips and tricks on how to overcome anatomical complexities, how to avoid radial complications, multiple case-based learning for very complex PCI, etc. It also discusses the advantages of the TR intervention, such as reduced vascular access site complications and immediate patient mobilization. The authors, who work at respected transradial centers, share their extensive experience with TR intervention, providing a comprehensive review of current percutaneous in...
Engineering Adaptive Software Systems
This book discusses the problems and challenges in the interdisciplinary research field of self-adaptive software systems. Modern society is increasingly filled with software-intensive systems, which are required to operate in more and more dynamic and uncertain environments. These systems must monitor and control their environment while adapting to meet the requirements at runtime. This book provides promising approaches and research methods in software engineering, system engineering, and related fields to address the challenges in engineering the next-generation adaptive software systems. The contents of the book range from design and engineering principles (Chap. 1) to control–theoreti...
The History of Uprising in China
The book is the volume of "The History of Uprising in China" among a series of books for "China Classified Histories".
Gourmets in the Land of Famine
A study of the politics of rice in Canton, this book sheds new light on the local history of the city and illuminates how China's struggles with food shortages in the early twentieth century unfolded and the ways in which they were affected by the rise of nationalism and the fluctuation of global commerce. Author Seung-joon Lee profiles Canton as an exemplary site of provisioning, a critical gateway for foreign rice importation and distribution through the Pearl River Delta, which found its prized import, and thus its food security, threatened by the rise of Chinese nationalism. Lee argues that the modern Chinese state's attempts to promote domestically-produced "national rice" and to tax ri...
Proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Foundations of Quantum Mechanics in the Light of New Technology
This book discusses fundamental problems in quantum physics, with emphasis on quantum coherence and decoherence. Papers covering the wide range of quantum physics are included: atom optics, quantum optics, quantum computing, quantum information, cryptography, macroscopic quantum phenomena, mesoscopic physics, physics of precise measurements, and fundamental problems in quantum physics. The book will serve not only as a good introduction to quantum coherence and decoherence for newcomers in this field, but also as a reference for experts. Contents: Quantum Computing: Decoherence and Dephasing in Spin-Based Solid State Quantum Computers (S Das Sarma et al.); Quantum-State Manipulations in a Co...

Asian/American
This book argues that the invention of Asian American identities serves as an index to the historical formation of modern America. By tracing constructions of "Asian American" to an interpenetrating dynamic between Asia and America, the author obtains a deeper understanding of key issues in American culture, history, and society. The formation of America in the twentieth century has had everything to do with "westward expansion" across the "Pacific frontier" and the movement of Asians onto American soil. After the passage of the last piece of anti-Asian legislation in the 1930's, the United States found it had to grapple with both the presence of Asians already in America and the imperative ...
Teaching the Chinese Language Remotely
This edited book brings together global perspectives and case studies from five continents to provide an international picture of teaching Chinese remotely. It consists of 15 original chapters by 21 authors from 10 countries. Addressing both practice and research, these chapters collectively offer a comprehensive view of how Chinese language courses worldwide were urgently moved to fully online during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic.This edited volume reports fresh and first-hand experiences of Chinese language instructors and students in different countries as well as their perceptions of issues regarding remote teaching and learning in an emergency situation.The book will be of interest to Chinese language teachers and students, as well as scholars with a focus on language education and online teaching and learning more broadly.
The Hidden Lamp
The Hidden Lamp is a collection of one hundred koans and stories of Buddhist women from the time of the Buddha to the present day. This revolutionary book brings together many teaching stories that were hidden for centuries, unknown until this volume. These stories are extraordinary expressions of freedom and fearlessness, relevant for men and women of any time or place. In these pages we meet nuns, laywomen practicing with their families, famous teachers honored by emperors, and old women selling tea on the side of the road. Each story is accompanied by a reflection by a contemporary woman teacher--personal responses that help bring the old stories alive for readers today--and concluded by a final meditation for the reader, a question from the editors meant to spark further rumination and inquiry. These are the voices of the women ancestors of every contemporary Buddhist.
