This book seeks to trace the notarial history of China from 1902 to 1979. While working on this trailblazing effort, the author taps into a rich variety of artifacts, especially the notarial documents, archived records, manuals and journals from private collection or originally issued by China’s judicial authorities during different periods. No similar book has been published so far. Many of these items are taken from old publications and notarial documents that the author purchased from g...

This book presents key issues in the teaching of Chinese as a second or foreign language (TCSL or TCFL). It investigates how multimedia can help to assist TCSL/TCFL and explores practical effects of multimedia-assisted teaching at secondary schools in the Philippines. It addresses the psychology of TCSL/TCFL and discusses various recurring foreign graduate students concerns when learning academic Chinese in graduate institutes in Taiwan. It examines issues of educational assessment and tes...

However, he was sold by his parents right after he got into trouble. He was even sold to the richest man in the Yun City. After the marriage, if he didn't like it, then it was forbidden! Don't let her come home after eleven! Don't make eye contact with other men! Don't be angry at him! One day, Pei Luoyi exploded in anger, "Gong Yan, I want to get a divorce! I have no human rights! " A certain someone drank tea calmly, "It's a deal for three years." Pei Luoyi looked up to the heavens and c...

This book presents the latest research advances in complex network structure analytics based on computational intelligence (CI) approaches, particularly evolutionary optimization. Most if not all network issues are actually optimization problems, which are mostly NP-hard and challenge conventional optimization techniques. To effectively and efficiently solve these hard optimization problems, CI based network structure analytics offer significant advantages over conventional network analyti...

Assesses performance of conventional techniques such as backcross and hybrid breeding in introducing new traitsMaps current progress in methods to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) linking phenotypic traits with genetic information for selectionShows comparative strengths and weaknesses of marker-assisted selection (MAS) techniques such as genome wide association studies (GWAS) and nested association mapping (NAM)

Yi-Shi Duan (1927-2016) was one of the world-renowned pioneers in the study of gauge field theory and general relativity. Trained in the former Soviet Union, Prof. Duan returned to China in 1957 to work in Lanzhou University for 60 years. In 1963, he came up with a general co-variant form of the conservation law of the energy-momentum tensor in general relativity. In 1979, he suggested that the gauge potential could be decomposed, which has important implications to gauge field theory. He ...
