Contrary to longtime assumptions about the insular nature of
imperial China's legal system, Circulating the Code demonstrates
that in the Qing dynasty (1644-1911) most legal books were
commercially published and available to anyone who could afford to
buy them. Publishers not only extended circulation of the dynastic
code and other legal texts but also enhanced the judicial authority
of case precedents and unofficial legal commentaries by making them
more broadly available in convenient formats. As a result, the laws
no longer represented privileged knowledge monopolized by the
imperial state and elites. Trade in commercial legal imprints
contributed to the formation of a new legal culture that included
the free flow of accurate information, the rise of nonofficial
legal experts, a large law-savvy population, and a high litigation
rate. Comparing different official and commercial editions of the
Qing Code, popular handbooks for amateur legal practitioners, and
manuals for community legal lectures, Ting Zhang demonstrates how
the dissemination of legal information transformed Chinese law,
judicial authority, and popular legal consciousness.

This book describes the mineralization process of barite-fluorite
deposits in southeastern Sichuan, Yangtze Block, China. Mainly
through systematic field geological surveys and detailed indoor
research work, the typical barite-fluorite deposits in this area
were analyzed using a variety of analysis methods such as single
fluid inclusion LA-ICP-MS composition analysis, trace rare earth
element analysis, H-O-S-Sr isotope analysis, F element content
analysis, and Sm-Nd geochronological analysis. By in-depth analysis
of the ore-forming environment, mineralization process and
geological characteristics of barite-fluorite deposits, the
following were determined: (1) the source of ore-forming fluids of
barite-fluorite deposits and (2) the migration, concentration,
enrichment, and evolution of ore-forming sources, exploring the
formation mechanism of barite-fluorite deposits. Summarizing the
mineralization regularity of the deposit in this area of China
provides a new insight and basis for the study of similar types of
deposits in the world.

This volume presents the proceedings of the International
Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (ICBHI). The
conference was a new special topic conference and a common
initiative by the International Federation of Medical and
Biological Engineering (IFMBE) and IEEE Engineering in Medicine and
Biology Society (IEEE- EMBS). BHI2015 was held in Haikou, China,
8-10 October 2015. The main theme of the BHI2015 is "The
Convergence: Integrating Information and Communication Technologies
with Biomedicine for Global Health". The ICBHI2015 proceedings
examine enabling technologies of sensors, devices and systems that
optimize the acquisition, transmission, processing, storage,
retrieval, use of biomedical and health information as well as to
report novel clinical applications of health information systems
and the deployment of m-Health, e-Health, u-Health, p-Health and

This book provides an analysis of the existing economic dynamics
and factors contributing to entrepreneurship in China. Featuring
contributions from prominent authors such as Zoltan Acs and Jian
Gao, it first poses a theoretical question of whether
entrepreneurship exists in China and, if so, the extent and form it
takes. This book also examines whether the nature of
entrepreneurship in China differs from that elsewhere. Following
this investigation, empirical tests and analyses focus on important
issues such as: What is the special value of entrepreneurship in
China? Does entrepreneurship in China drive economic growth like it
does in other more market-oriented economies? What is
entrepreneurship in China like? What is its history, nature,
environment, and what are some of the underlying diversities or
challenges it is facing? Assuming entrepreneurship in China is
important to economic growth, how can public policy help to enhance
the entrepreneurship milieu in China? Finally, based on the
empirical findings and potential policy implications, future
directions of investigation are suggested.
This book addresses aging in the setting of the "Knowledge Economy"
and indicates that aging in the "Knowledge Economy" does not
necessarily just mean challenges, but also means unprecedented
opportunities. This argument is made based on critiquing and
interpreting economic and gerontology theories, presenting
empirical data and analyses, and a case study. This book connects
the uniqueness of the "Knowledge Economy" with the crises that an
aging population is predicted to bring about. It also points out
the valuable qualities of seniors. Built on theories, empirical
data, and case study, this book presents evidence that seniors have
a special and powerful role to push the growth of the "Knowledge
Economy" and that the "Knowledge Economy" facilitates seniors'
socioeconomic activities and enhances their life quality. It is
this dynamic interaction between the "Knowledge Economy" and
seniors' capacity for socioeconomic activities that transforms the
predicted aging-related crises into new opportunities.
This collection features four peer-reviewed reviews on the
nutritional and health benefits of beverage crops. The first
chapter introduces the importance of coffee leaves, highlighting
their high antioxidant potential and impact on fruit quality. The
chapter provides an inventory of molecules identified in the leaves
of cultivated coffee trees, as well as the beneficial effects of
these molecules on human health. The second chapter considers the
nutritional and health-related aspects of regular coffee
consumption, focussing on its ability to prevent the onset of
chronic diseases. The chapter also highlights that above-average
consumption of coffee can lead to the development of side effects,
including caffeine tolerance, dependence and withdrawal. The third
chapter discusses the main phytochemicals contained in tea,
including polyphenols, amino acids, vitamins, carbohydrates and
purine alkaloids. The chapter reviews the current analytical
techniques available for tea characterisation, such as chromatic
and spectroscopic techniques. The final chapter explores the
beneficial health effects of consuming tea on a regular basis. The
chapter considers the potential role for tea in combatting chronic
diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and
neurodegenerative diseases, as well as the possible mechanisms of
actions of tea constituents.
