A critical study of the rich religious tradition surrounding Guan Yu 關羽
(Guandi 關帝 / Guangong 關公 / Lord Guan) was long overdue. Bared ter Haar’s recent book rises up to the task with commendable thoroughness, a tour de force of...
Miss Li Nei-Yu of Peiping, China, submitted an application for admission to Winthrop College for Women. Her transcripts arrived with $1400 US in postage due to the inflation in China. Rock Hill post office employees say to send...
Recurrent gene mutations often cooperate in a predefined stepwise and synergistic manner to alter global transcription, through directly or indirectly remodeling epigenetic landscape on linear and three-dimensional (3D) scales....
Entosis is a form of epithelial cell cannibalism that is prevalent in human cancer, typically triggered by loss of matrix adhesion. Here, we report an alternative mechanism for entosis in human epithelial cells, driven by...
Starting off from Makeham’s (2003) differentiation between historical meaning and scriptural meaning, Huang’s (2011) citation of coherence theories and Xu’s (2002; 2004a; 2004b) embodimental reading by rejecting Western logos...
Facebook, the most popular social media in the world, has changed the ways of citizen involvement in governance. Politicians and (elected) public administrators worldwide have adopted Facebook as an important approach to connect...
This paper investigates the impact of air pollution on China’s internal migration using the Migrant Population Dynamic Monitoring Survey and Air Quality Index (AQI) data in 2014. Binary response models suggest that, on average...
We investigated the reciprocal relationship between individual social capital and perceived mental and physical health in the UK. Using data from the British Household Panel Survey from 1991 to 2008, we fitted cross-lagged...

Phylogenetic analysis has shown that males' propensity to engage in aggressive encounters is associated with females having greater longevity. Here, we confirm the causal link between aggression and reduced longevity by looking...
Biomimetic supramolecular dual networks: By mimicking the structure/function model of titin, integration of dynamic cucurbit[8]uril mediated host-guest interactions with a trace amount of covalent cross-linking leads to...
Recent progress on highly tough and stretchable polymer networks has highlighted the potential of wearable electronic devices and structural biomaterials such as cartilage. For some given applications, a combination of desirable...
Formulate performance optimization problems of big data workflows with various objects; prove complexities of these problems; design and evaluate proposed heuristics using simulations
We explain the results of Yu et al. (2015b) of the novel sharpness angle measurement to a large number of spectra obtained from the Fermi gamma-ray burst monitor. The sharpness angle is compared to the values obtained from...

Before speaking a foreign language, people will always spend more time and think more than they do about their native language. Such “more” has been defined as foreign language learning anxiety since the work of Horwitz et al....
