Mechanism and Machine Science
These proceedings collect the latest research results in mechanism and machine science, intended to reinforce and improve the role of mechanical systems in a variety of applications in daily life and industry. Gathering more than 120 academic papers, it addresses topics including: Computational kinematics, Machine elements, Actuators, Gearing and transmissions, Linkages and cams, Mechanism design, Dynamics of machinery, Tribology, Vehicle mechanisms, dynamics and design, Reliability, Experimental methods in mechanisms, Robotics and mechatronics, Biomechanics, Micro/nano mechanisms and machines, Medical/welfare devices, Nature and machines, Design methodology, Reconfigurable mechanisms and re...
Metabolic Control of Brain Homeostasis
Brain function is under metabolic control, which in turn determines the equilibrium of homeostatic systems that affect neuronal and glial networks on the molecular, cellular, and systems levels. The collection of articles ranges from molecules and mechanisms involved in regulating homeostasis and neuronal excitability to therapeutic mechanisms tailored to restore homeostatic function. It also features neurological diseases and novel treatment approaches that are based on metabolic and homeostatic interventions. Together, the collection of articles outlines novel strategies to restore brain function in neurology and highlights limitations of conventional pharmacological approaches. We suggest that restoration of molecular and biochemical networks could lead to a new era of therapeutic opportunities.
Mao's New World
Mao's New World examines how Mao Zedong and senior Party leaders transformed the PRC into a propaganda state in the first decade of their rule (1949-1959).
Devil CEO Comes Unexpectedly
The talented and beautiful Su Wubai coincidentally bumped into the president of the demon race, Mu Rong Ao Tian. From then on, their lives were entangled together. She had always thought that she only felt hatred towards him, but she didn't know when it started, but she discovered that she had gradually fallen in love with him. The moment of confession was the beginning of separation. She had been caught up in a long and deep grudge, imprisoned, escaped, over and over again. The pain of clearly loving each other yet not being able to protect each other tormented them. The journey was bound to be bumpy. They would miss each other again and again, and all the suffering and suffering seemed impossible to transcend. Love had to be so difficult, even difficult, to take even a single step. After being tested again and again, would they still continue to love each other?

Gastrointestinal and Liver Effects of Fruits and their Synergism with Drug Therapy: Exploring Possible Mechanisms of Action
Currently, there is a significant increase in demand for food and food products that provide health benefits beyond their nutritional aspects. These benefits can be used to treat or prevent several diseases through the interactions of phytoconstituents with biological targets or through antioxidant properties. Another important aspect is the synergism of therapy with drugs and phytoconstituents originating from fruits, which can modify the bioavailability or efficacy, increasing future opportunities for drug development. In addition, these phytochemicals can be incorporated as an alternative for development, with new applications for multitarget therapeutic using a better understanding of biochemical and electrical effects or molecular interaction in a biologic system.
Popular Religion and Shamanism
Popular Religion and Shamanism addresses two areas of religion within Chinese society; the lay teachings that Chinese scholars term folk or “popular” religion, and shamanism. Each area represents a distinct tradition of scholarship, and the book is therefore split into two parts. Part I: Popular Religion discusses the evolution of organized lay movements over an arc of ten centuries. Its eight chapters focus on three key points: the arrival and integration of new ideas before the Song dynasty, the coalescence of an intellectual and scriptural tradition during the Ming, and the efflorescence of new organizations during the late Qing. Part II: Shamanism reflects the revived interest of scholars in traditional beliefs and culture that reemerged with the “open” policy in China that occurred in the 1970s. Two of the essays included in this section address shamanism in northeast China where the traditions played an important role in the cultures of the Manchu, Mongol, Sibe, Daur, Oroqen, Evenki, and Hezhen. The other essay discusses divination rites in a local culture of southwest China.
Faiths on Display
By providing a unique perspective on China's changing relationship with religion, this groundbreaking book explores the role the Chinese state continues to play in religious revival today. Throughout China, spaces for religious expression and practice have been rebuilt, revived, and contrived for display by local officials hoping to cash in on tourist revenue. Faiths on Display argues, however, that the results of the state's instrumental approach toward religion are far from predictable. The volume explores the ways revived religious practices and commercial tourism development intersect in China, offering surprising insights into the contested nature of state governance in a rapidly transforming society.
Wen Xuan or Selections of Refined Literature, Volume I
A text of central importance to the Chinese literary tradition, the Wen xuan was compiled by Xiao Tong (501-531) and is the oldest surviving anthology of Chinese literature arranged by genre. This volume, the first of a planned eight-volume translation of the entire work, contains thoroughly annotated translations of the first section of the Wen xuan, the rhapsodies on the metropolises and capitals." Originally published in 1983. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
