For 2,000 years, Asian witnesses have reported the same phenomena that now captivate Congress and the Pentagon.In 11th-century China, pilgrims would journey to Pishe Lake to witness objects that flew up nightly, shot out dazzling beams of light, then vanished at impossible speeds.In the 18th century, a high-ranking Chinese official was led by two luminous orbs away from the mountains, where female beings transported him inside one-beginning an odyssey that ...

An ancient cauldron would refine a world; a brush would draw all the creatures in the world; a long sword would cut down 3,000 great daos; a legend would narrate all the love in one lifetime; and the Nine Heavens Starfield, the Cosmic Star, would depict a young man's path to the pinnacle under the heavens!

This book provides an in-depth study of community and home eldercare in modern China, examining its integration with urban community governance. Community eldercare, established through public-private partnerships, reveals a hybrid economy where state control and marketization coexist. By situating eldercare within the community, it becomes intertwined with population governance, particularly with the recent adoption of smart care technologies. As a result, community eldercare transforms i...

Time is an important factor in physical and natural sciences. It characterizes the progress of chemical and biochemical processes. Mass spectrometry provides the means to study molecular structures by detecting gas-phase ions with the unique mass-to-charge ratios. Time-resolved mass spectrometry (TRMS) allows one to differentiate between chemical states that can be observed sequentially at different time points. Real-time mass spectrometric monitoring enables recording data continuously wi...
