The Art of Terrestrial Diagrams in Early China
"This is the first English-language monograph on the early history of cartography in China. Its chief players are three maps found in tombs that date from the fourth to the second century BCE and together constitute the entire known corpus of ancient Chinese maps (ditu). A millennium separates them from the next available map from 1136 CE. Most scholars study them through the lens of modern, empirical definitions of maps and their use. This book offers an alternative view by drawing on methods not just from cartography but from art history, archaeology, and religion. It argues that, as tomb objects, the maps were designed to be simultaneously functional for the living and the dead-that each ...
Gender and Chinese Archaeology
The roles of women in Chinese archaeology, with only a few exceptions, have at worst been overlooked, and at best consigned to conventional Marxist theory that prescribes formulaic frameworks for understanding gender—until now. Renowned archaeologist Katheryn M. Linduff and fellow researcher Yan Sun have brought together a fascinating collection that reexamines gender in ancient Chinese cultures. Acknowledging and negotiating the complications that challenge their efforts, the authors analyze and begin to reconstruct the roles of women in various regions of China from the late Neolithic to the early Empire period. Topics range from mortuary ritual, social status and structures of power, economic influences on cultural practice, textile production, and art in these early Chinese societies. This book is a must for students, professors, and practitioners of archaeology that seek a more complete examination of the archaeological record, for scholars in the fields of Asian Studies, Art History, and Chinese History more generally, as well as for those interested in the roles of women in ancient Chinese society.
Women in China from Earliest Times to the Present
This essential reference work provides an alphabetic listing, with an extensive "index," of studies on women in China from earliest times to the present day written in Western languages, primarily English, French, German, and Italian. Containing more than 2500 citations of books, chapters in books, and articles, especially those published in the last thirty years, and more than 100 titles of doctoral dissertations and Masters theses, it covers works written in the disciplines of anthropology and sociology; art and archaeology; demography; economics; education; fashion; film and media studies; history; interdisciplinary studies; law; literature; music; medicine, science, and technology; political science; and religion and philosophy. It also contains many citations of studies of women in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Memory and Agency in Ancient China
Applies the 'life history' of objects approach to China's prehistoric, early dynastic and more recent material culture.
Revolutionizing Life Sciences: The Nobel Leap in Artificial Intelligence-Driven Biomodeling
The year 2024 marked a historic milestone in the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as it saw the awarding of Nobel prizes specifically recognizing groundbreaking AI technologies. These technologies not only revolutionized traditional disciplines but also significantly enhanced capabilities within the biological sciences. By mapping the interfaces where AI meets molecular biology, this Research Topic intends to serve as a benchmark for current capabilities, a guideline for overcoming existing challenges, and a vision board for future opportunities that could further push the boundaries of what is scientifically possible in molecular biosciences. Keywords: deep-learning, neur
Knowledge Science, Engineering and Management
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Knowledge Science, Engineering and Management, KSEM 2015, held in Chongqing, China, in October 2015.

The papers are organized in topical sections on formal reasoning and ontologies; knowledge management and concept analysis; knowledge discovery and recognition methods; text mining and analysis; recommendation algorithms and systems; machine learning algorithms; detection methods and analysis; classification and clustering; mobile data analytics and knowledge management; bioinformatics and computational biology; and evidence theory and its application.
The Arcata Conference on Representations of Finite Groups, Part 2
The papers in these proceedings of the 1986 Arcata Summer Institute bear witness to the extraordinarily vital and intense research in the representation theory of finite groups. The confluence of diverse mathematical disciplines has brought forth work of great scope and depth. Particularly striking is the influence of algebraic geometry and cohomology theory in the modular representation theory and the character theory of reductive groups over finite fields, and in the general modular representation theory of finite groups. The continuing developments in block theory and the general character theory of finite groups is noteworthy. The expository and research aspects of the Summer Institute are well represented by these papers.
