This is a personal account of the Cultural Revolution. As a student, the author was caught up in dramatic events as, with jeers and chants, students- turned-Red Guards held mass rallies. The interplay between the perceptions of father and son offer an additional, unusual, perspective.
The book delves into the rich genetic diversity of Malus Mill., highlighting the extensive collection efforts at China's National Repository of Apple and Pear Germplasm Resources. It details the preservation of over 2,300 germplasm resources and the use of advanced genetic analysis techniques, including microsatellites and specific-locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq), to explore the genetic relationships among 391 accessions. The research provides valuable insights into the classification, origin, and evolution of both wild and cultivated apple species in China.
Augustine's insights into passions and the therapy of emotions are systematically examined in this study. It delves into different phases of his writings, uncovering a structured approach to understanding emotions and achieving freedom from passions. The exploration is grounded in Augustine's broader philosophical and theological beliefs, providing a comprehensive view of how he perceived the sanctification of emotions and their impact on human freedom.
This collection features a range of invited and regular papers exploring various topics in theoretical computer science. It begins with discussions on reaction systems, inspired by biochemistry, and delves into tiling recognizable two-dimensional languages. The complexity of regular-like expressions and decision problems for simple and parameterized machines are also examined. The implications of DNA computing for theoretical computer science are highlighted, alongside the connection between numeration systems, number theory, and formal language theory. Regular papers cover algorithmic properties of millstream systems, conjectures related to algebraic observational equivalence, and undecidability results for parallel communicating finite automata. The collection addresses inclusion problems for patterns with limited variables and the average number of states in partial derivative automata. It also explores the hybrid ? erný-road coloring problem, Hamiltonian paths, and methods for computing blocker sets in regular post embedding problems. Further topics include rankers over infinite words, Kleene and Büchi theorems for weighted automata, and minimization of deterministic bottom-up tree transducers. The papers discuss periodicity in morphic words, compressed conjugacy, and the word problem for outer automorphism groups of graph groups. Additionally, the collection includes insights into parallel Boolean algebra, complexity in
