International trade in the 21st century is characterized by the
emergence and development of Global Value Chains. With the reform
and opening-up deepening, China has become an important participant
and practitioner of global value chains, a staunch supporter and
defender of the multilateral trading system, and a contributor to
and beneficiary of economic globalization. This book provides an
insightful analysis of the pathways for China to upgrade in global
value chains based on the country's opening strategy from the
perspectives of tariff, trade facilitation, foreign direct
investment, outward direct investment, opening-up of the service
industry, and servitization in the manufacturing industry. It also
offers best practices for theoretical and empirical studies in
global value chains with sophisticated and widely-used econometric
methods.
The Liangzhu Culture (3,300-2,300 BC) represented the peak of
prehistoric cultural and social development in the Yangtze Delta.
With a wide sphere of influence centred near present-day Hangzhou
City, Liangzhu City is considered one of the earliest urban centres
in prehistoric China. Although it remains a mystery for many in the
West, Liangzhu is well known in China for its fine jade-crafting
industry; its enormous, well-structured earthen palatial compound
and recently discovered hydraulic system; and its far-flung impact
on contemporary and succeeding cultures. The archaeological ruins
of Liangzhu City were added to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage
List in July 2019. Liangzhu Culture contextualises Liangzhu in
broad socio-economic and cultural backgrounds and provides new,
first-hand data to help explain the development and structure of
this early urban centre. Among its many insights, the volume
reveals how elites used jade as a means of acquiring social power,
and how Liangzhu and its centre stand in comparison to other
prehistoric urban centres in the world. This book, the first of its
kind published in the English language, will be a useful guide to
students at all levels interested in the material culture and
social structures of prehistoric China and beyond.
In addition to research and discovery, yeast surface display
technology has found applications in industrial processes such as
biofuel production and environmental pollutant absorption and
degradation. Yeast Surface Display: Methods, Protocols, and
Applications guides readers through yeast surface antibody display
library and antibody engineering, yeast surface display as a tool
for protein engineering, yeast surface cDNA display library
construction and applications, and yeast surface display in
bioassay and industrial applications. Written in the highly
successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters
include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the
necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily
reproducible laboratory protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting
and avoiding known pitfalls. Concise and easy-to-use, Yeast Surface
Display: Methods, Protocols, and Applications aims to help
accelerate the work of protein chemists, antibody engineers,
molecular and cell biologists, and industrial bioengineers.

This book provides the reader with the latest archaeological
discoveries of Liangzhu culture for its sophisticated jade
artifacts. The structure and contents systematically present that
large-scale ritual vessels such as jade cong and bi were originally
regarded as the embodiment of Zhou and Han dynasties have been
proved as burial accessories of Liangzhu culture. This confirmation
urges archaeologists to renew an earlier interpretation of societal
development dimension in Liangzhu culture. The book discussed the
compatibilities between types and function of Liangzhu jades
vividly displayed. It provides archaeological researchers and
students by gaining an in-depth perspective of aesthetic
appreciation of jade while understanding of the spiritual world of
people in Liangzhu as well as the transition between the functions
of power and belief.
This book comprehensively discusses advanced surgical techniques
for pancreatic cancers, including open, laparoscopic and
robotic-assisted surgery, as well as palliative surgery and total
meso-pancreas excision. It also features high-resolution
illustrations taken from selected clinical cases to enhance the
descriptions of the surgical procedures. Providing details of
technical issues and commenting on the outcome, it a timely
reference resource for pancreatic surgeons, pancreatic physicians,
and interns interested in pancreatic cancer surgery.

When generating electronic products, manufacturing enterprises are
producing pollution and waste that is harmful to the environment.
As a result of this increasing event, green production has become a
valuable research topic. Green Production Strategies for
Sustainability is an essential reference source for the latest
empirical research and relevant theoretical frameworks on creating
profit through environmentally friendly operating processes.
Including coverage on a range of topics such as corporate social
responsibility, environmental performance, and green supply chain,
this book is ideally designed for managers, professionals, and
researchers seeking current research on green production use in
sustainability.
