Thought Reform and China's Dangerous Classes
This book offers the first detailed study of the essential relationship between thought reform and the "dangerous classes"--The prostitutes, beggars, petty criminals, and other "lumpenproletarians" the Communists saw as a threat to society and the revolution. Aminda Smith takes readers inside early-PRC reformatories, where the new state endeavored to transform "vagrants" into members of the laboring masses.

Perspectives in Avian Skeletal Systems and Skeletal Abnormalities
The avian skeletal system is drawing increasing attention from researchers because it serves as a unique research model to study bone metabolism and pathologies, as well as the importance of bone health and its relationship with animal productivity and welfare. The avian skeleton is a delicate system providing structural support to the bird and minerals for eggshell formation, meanwhile, functioning as an immune organ. There is a lack of complete understanding of the physiological difference between mammalian and avian bones, the impact of genetic improvements, the interaction between immunity and bone health, the avian bone 3D structural development and turnover, the biological function of avian bone, and its relationship with animal well-being. Additionally, skeletal abnormalities can have a serious effect on poultry farming whereby conditions such as osteomyelitis, rickets and chondrodystrophy, among others, can cause changes in gait patterns, reduced walking ability and other pathophysiologies with subsequent detrimental effects on feed conversion and growth, as well as economic losses.
