This book is a collection of Professor Ma Rong's papers on current
and future ethnic relations in China. Some of the studies,
presented in the book, are related to basic theories on ethnic
relations, while others are specific issues he observed and
identified while conducting surveys in different parts of the
country. His papers are based on field research and China's current
situations, which may shed some light on the theoretical and
practical studies on ethnic relations in China.
This book provides extensive information on craftsmen-built houses
in China. Though some inroads have been made in studying this folk
custom, this work represents the first comprehensive and systematic
monograph. The book examines the topic at the two main levels of
"history" and "theory". Combining historical textual research,
contemporary textual research, and field study, the book presents
systematic information on the folk custom of craftsmen-built houses
in China. At the level of theoretical research, it puts forward
some original opinions on the major theoretical issues, such as the
folk custom of religious belief, the boundary between superstition
and religion, and the relationship between oral literature and
ritual. The book provides a guide to help readers systematically
understand the folk custom of craftsmen-built houses in China.
Sharing valuable insights into Chinese architectural history, as
well as religious studies, cultural anthropology, and folklore, it
will appeal to researchers in the fields of folklore, cultural
anthropology, and architecture and can also serve as a popular
science book for understanding Chinese architectural culture.
This book provides interpretation of China's logistics development
in a new development paradigm and the rural logistics construction
under the Rural Revitalization Strategy. Subjects covered in this
book encompass the macro-factors pertaining to the overall
development in logistics technologies and facilities,
region-specific policies and plans, industry-wide transformation in
transport, manufacturing, commerce and agriculture. Specifically,
this book highlights the impact of COVID-19 on China's logistics
industry, and demonstrates the efforts and contributions of China's
logistics in the fight against COVID-19 in 2020. Aligns with the
previous volumes, the ultimate aim of this book is to present a
timely portrait of the rapid growth of China's logistics market and
the status quo of its logistics industry. In so doing, the book
offers an in-depth analysis of critical issues involved in the
ongoing dynamic and multi-faceted development and provides a
valuable reference resource for interested readers in the academic
and professional fields.

This book highlights the use of one-dimensional transition metal
oxides and their analogue nanomaterials for battery applications.
The respective chapters present examples of one-dimensional
nanomaterials with different architectures, as well as a wide range
of applications, e.g. as electrode materials for batteries. The
book also addresses various means of synthesizing one-dimensional
nanomaterials, e.g. electrospinning, the Kirkendall effect, Ostwald
ripening, heterogeneous contraction, liquid-phase preparation, the
vapor deposition approach and template-assisted synthesis. In
closing, the structural design, optimization and promotion of
one-dimensional transition metal oxide electrode materials are
discussed. The book chiefly focuses on emerging configurable
designs, including core-shell architectures, hollow architectures
and other intricate architectures. In turn, the applications
covered reflect essential recent advances in many modern types of
battery. Accordingly, the book offers an informative and appealing
resource for a wide readership in various fields of chemical
science, materials and engineering.
The series Notizen zu Uecker (Notes on Uecker) makes the research
results of the Günther Uecker Institute's fellows accessible to
the public. The emphasis of the sponsored projects is on a lively
examination of Günther Uecker's work. In volume 2, the art scholar
Xiao Xiao devotes herself to spiritual concepts from the East Asian
region. The focus of her analysis is on the intriguing proximity of
philosophical notions of 'action' in the Chinese Daoist tradition
and Uecker's artistic practice. Xiao Xiao shows how the notions of
wuwei ['non-intervention'], ganying [correlative resonance], and
ziran [from-self-so] make determinable movements of thought that
are deeply inscribed in Uecker's artistic creative processes.

Six essays by artificial intelligence pioneer Marvin Minsky on how
education can foster inventiveness, paired with commentary by
Minsky's former colleagues and students. Marvin Minsky was a
pioneering researcher in artificial intelligence whose work led to
both theoretical and practical advances. His work was motivated not
only by technological advancement but also by the desire to
understand the workings of our own minds. Minsky's insights about
the mind provide fresh perspectives on education and how children
learn. This book collects for the first time six essays by Minsky
on children, learning, and the potential of computers in school to
enrich children's development. In these essays Minsky discusses the
shortcomings of conventional education (particularly in
mathematics) and considers alternative approaches; reflects on the
role of mentors; describes higher-level strategies for thinking
across domains; and suggests projects for children to pursue. Each
essay is paired with commentary by one of Minsky's former
colleagues or students, which identifies Minsky's key ideas and
connects his writings to current research. Minsky once observed
that in traditional teaching, "instead of promoting inventiveness,
we focus on preventing mistakes." These essays offer Minsky's
unique insights into how education can foster inventiveness.

The Number Line through Guided Inquiry is designed to give future
secondary teachers a deep understanding of the real numbers and
functions on the reals. By presenting just that part of the subject
that underlies the high school curriculum, this book offers an
alternative to a standard real analysis sequence for advanced
undergraduate or beginning graduate students. It will give any
student a much deeper understanding of the mathematics that they
were taught in high school. Written in a guided-inquiry format,
this book consists of a carefully scaffolded sequence of
definitions, problems, and theorems that guides students through
each topic. Readers solve the problems and prove the theorems on
their own and present their results to their peers with the
instructor as a mentor and a guide. Students will learn not only
the mathematics, but also how to help others learn mathematics.
They will learn to think creatively and to make compelling
arguments to justify their conclusions. They will learn to listen
critically to others and give constructive feedback. Ultimately,
they will learn to work as a team to answer the bigger questions
and build a common understanding of the broader subject.
Human melanin is synthesised in melanosomes located in melanocytes
of the skin, hair, eyes, and leptomeninges. Melanin not only
determines skin colour, but also protects the skin from UV damage
by absorbing UV light. In this book, the authors present current
research in the study of the biosynthesis, functions and health
effects of melanin. Topics include melanogenesis and natural
hypopigmentation agents; fungal melanins; the coat colour genes
that regulate eumelanin and pheomelanin synthesis in melanocytes;
the role of melanin production in gaeumannomyces graminis infection
of cereal plants and the occurrence and function of melanic
pigmentation in ectothermic vertebrates.
