This book extends the conventional two-dimensional (2D) magnet
arrangement into 3D pattern for permanent magnet linear machines
for the first time, and proposes a novel dual Halbach array. It can
not only effectively increase the radial component of magnetic flux
density and output force of tubular linear machines, but also
significantly reduce the axial flux density, radial force and thus
system vibrations and noises. The book is also the first to address
the fundamentals and provide a summary of conventional arrays, as
well as novel concepts for PM pole design in electric linear
machines. It covers theoretical study, numerical simulation, design
optimization and experimental works systematically. The design
concept and analytical approaches can be implemented to other
linear and rotary machines with similar structures. The book will
be of interest to academics, researchers, R&D engineers and
graduate students in electronic engineering and mechanical
engineering who wish to learn the core principles, methods, and
applications of linear and rotary machines.
In Inside China's Automobile Factories, Lu Zhang explores the
current conditions, subjectivity, and collective actions of
autoworkers in the world's largest and fastest-growing automobile
manufacturing nation. Based on years of fieldwork and extensive
interviews conducted at seven large auto factories in various
regions of China, Zhang provides an inside look at the daily
factory life of autoworkers and a deeper understanding of the roots
of rising labor unrest in the auto industry. Combining original
empirical data and sophisticated analysis that moves from the shop
floor to national political economy and global industry dynamics,
the book develops a multilayered framework for understanding how
labor relations in the auto industry and broader social economy can
be expected to develop in China in the coming decades.
This invaluable monograph is devoted to a rapidly developing area
on the research of qualitative theory of fractional ordinary and
partial differential equations. It provides the readers the
necessary background material required to go further into the
subject and explore the rich research literature. The tools used
include many classical and modern nonlinear analysis methods such
as fixed point theory, measure of noncompactness method,
topological degree method, the technique of Picard operators,
critical point theory and semigroup theory. Based on the research
work carried out by the authors and other experts during the past
seven years, the contents are very recent and comprehensive.In this
edition, two new topics have been added, that is, fractional
impulsive differential equations, and fractional partial
differential equations including fractional Navier-Stokes equations
and fractional diffusion equations.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the
15th National Software Application Conference, NASAC 2016, held in
Kunming, Yunnan, in November 2016. The 15 revised selected papers
were selected from 38 submissions and focus on all aspects of
software engineering, e.g. requirements engineering, software
methodologies, software analytics, software testing and evolution,
and empirical studies.

In this study, an immortalized dopaminergic cell line was used to
characterize the cell death signaling cascade activated by cyanide.
Cyanide activated the HIF-1 -mediated pathway of BNIP3 induction
through a redox-sensitive process. Increased BNIP3 expression then
served as an initiator of mitochondria-mediated death. In mice,
repeated exposure to a sublethal dose of cyanide resulted in an
increase of BNIP3 expression in midbrain, which was accompanied by
a loss of dopaminergic neurons. In cortex, cyanide induced
upregulation of BNIP3, which may be involved in cortical cell
apoptosis. It is also shown that BNIP3 was localized in both ER and
mitochondria to facilitate the release of Ca2+ from ER and
subsequently increase uptake of Ca2+ into mitochondria. Excessive
accumulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ facilitated the loss of m,
ultimately resulting in the execution of cell death. Current
results also confirm that Bax was activated and co-localized with
BNIP3 in ER and mitochondria. Acting as a downstream effector for
BNIP3, Bax is required for Ca2+ crosstalk between ER and
mitochondria, thereby contributing to mitochondria-mediated cell
apoptosis."
A lavishly illustrated book that offers an in-depth look at the
cultural practices surrounding the tradition of collecting ancient
bronzes in China during the 18th and 19th centuries In ancient
China (2000-221 b.c.) elaborate bronze vessels were used for
rituals involving cooking, drinking, and serving food. This
fascinating book not only examines the cultural practices
surrounding these objects in their original context, but it also
provides the first in-depth study tracing the tradition of
collecting these bronzes in China. Essays by international experts
delve into the concerns of the specialized culture that developed
around the vessels and the significant influence this culture, with
its emphasis on the concept of antiquity, had on broader Chinese
society. While focusing especially on bronze collections of the
18th and 19th centuries, this wide-ranging catalogue also touches
on the ways in which contemporary artists continue to respond to
the complex legacy of these objects. Packed with stunning
photographs of exquisitely crafted vessels, Mirroring China's Past
is an enlightening investigation into how the role of ancient
bronzes has evolved throughout Chinese history. Distributed for the

Hark Tsui directs this lavish period action thriller set during the
Tang Dynasty in Ancient China. Andy Lau stars as the titular
Detective Dee, recently released from prison after an eight-year
sentence for challenging the ascendancy of the soon-to-be-crowned
Empress Wu Zetian (Carina Lau). After a series of suspicious deaths
at court, the Empress herself releases Dee and orders him to
investigate the deaths in time for her coronation ceremony. With
the questionable assistance of the Empress's servant Jing'er
(Bingbing Li) and albino police officer Pei Donglei (Deng Chao),
Dee sets out to untangle the conspiracy and reinstate himself at
court.
