Sun Tzu's Art of War is the oldest military classic in Chinese literature. Its also the most revered and well known military text outside China. While its exact origin and authorship have been debated, scholars of military history are unanimous that the book existed, and was probably written round 400 to 320 BC, 100 years after the births of Confucious and Lao Tze, two well-known Chinese philos…
Photoacoustic tomography has been developed for in vivo functional, metabolic, molecular, and histologic imaging by physically combining optical and ultrasonic waves. Broad applications include early-cancer detection and brain imaging. High-resolution optical imaging—such as confocal microscopy, two-photon microscopy, and optical coherence tomography—is limited to superficia…
For rock engineering projects, the cutting and fragmenting of rocks has attracted much attention. Exploring the fracture characteristics of rocks is helpful in achieving efficient and sustainable excavation for mining and tunneling engineering. The frac-ture toughness of rocks is a crucial mechanical indicator that weighs the initiation and extension…
Approximately 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonoses, and the rate of emergence of zoonotic diseases is on the rise. Bats are being increasingly recognised as an important reservoir of zoonotic viruses of different families, including SARS coronavirus, Nipah virus, Hendra virus and Ebola virus. Understanding bats’ role in emerging zoonotic diseases is crucial to this rapidly expandi…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the core driver for the fourth technological revolution,following the revolutions in steam technology, electricity technology, and computersand information technology.

Trabecular meshwork (TM) MIGS procedures and devices are numerous. They aim to eliminate trabecular meshwork resistance in the normal physiological outflow pathway in patients with mild-to-moderate glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT). They are indicated in combination with cataract surgery. In patients with chronic primary angle closure, the TM outflow system h…
Mine dynamic hazards mainly include the rockburst, high-speed landslide, coal andgas outburst, underground debrisflow, gob area catastrophic collapse, tailings damcollapse, and water inrush, etc. Rockburst is usually referred to as dynamiccatastrophe, which results in causalities and roadway destruction, caused by elasticstrain energy emitting in a sudden, rapid and violent way from coal or roc…
Ban Wang traces the shifting concept of the Chinese state from the late nineteenth century to the present, showing how the Confucian notion of tianxia—“all under heaven”—influences China’s dedication to contributing to and exchanging with a common world.
Besides being a matter of academic interest, the study of earthquake-inducedhydrologic changes also has important implications for water resources, hydro-carbon exploration and engineered systems. For example, groundwater level changesfollowing earthquakes can affect water supplies (Chen and Wang2009). The aban-donment of Crete during the Late Minoan period has been attributed by some to adeple…
Multifunctional scaffolds based on smart materials have been applied in different tissue engineering fields. The most frequently studied areas in the literature include the use of multifunctional scaffolds in bone, cartilage and muscle formation, in cardiovascular and endothelium tissue engineering, in the growth of skin and in neural regeneration. Other applications include their use in dental…

This collection of essays represents the first of its kind in exploring the conjunction of translation and social media communication, with a focus on how these practices intersect and transform each other against the backdrop of the cascading COVID-19 crisis. The contributions in the book offer empirical case studies as well as personal reflections on the topic, illuminating a broad range of t…
The PRC government has made development of rural biomass energy, specifically, an essential part of its long-term development strategy in rural areas. Most significantly, the Renewable Energy Law (effective January 2006) supports the development of bioenergy in all its forms—wind, solar, hydro, and biomass. The law calls for the exploration and use of bioenergy in rural areas and for local go…
Pada HUT ke-198, Kebun Raya Bogor telah meresmikan Taman Koleksi Tumbuhan Obat yang dilengkapi lima jalur wisata edukasi, yang kemudian dikenal sebagai "Jalur Tumbuhan Obat". Sepanjang jalur wisata kita dapat mengetahui manfaat dari beragam tumbuhan obat, diantaranya adalah air rebusan rebung muda bambu kuning ternyata bermanfaat untuk mengobati penyakit hepatitis. Air seduhan bunga kenanga dap…

A mountain stood tall in the distance. White clouds covered its peak. Anyone who ever stood at the peak of that mountain would feel like they were floating (manglayang) above the clouds. That was why the local people called it Manglayang Mountain. Every people took care of the environment around Manglayang Mountain. They put a taboo on cutting the trees on and around the mountain. They only us…
