In using the term American writers have standardized the form 'Southeast' and have been followed by Victor Purcell1 and E. H. G. Dobby.2 But there seems to be no valid reason for coining a new form in preference to either 'South-East' or 'South East', both of which have the ...
The purpose of this study is to explore and analyse the ethnic Chinese in Myanmar and their identity in terms of their attitudes towards the nation-state and their relationships with the indigenous people and with China. As the Chinese immigrated into Myanmar in several waves, their concepts of ...
He is a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Felix Bloch Felix Bloch (23 October 1905 – 10 September 1983) was a Swiss-American physicist and Nobel physics laureate who worked mainly in the U.S. He and Edward Mills Purcell were awarded the 1952 Nobel Prize for Physics ...
Islands were critical in birthing our modern world, and yet they have often been forgotten in our accounts of world history. Because of their rigid boundaries and small territories, islands were subject to intensive processes of cultural encounter, political annexation and settlement, making them part...
The Intervention, an Anthology is an important book, so I would have liked its introduction to be better than it is. While it provides a vivid picture of how The Intervention has hurt Aborigines living in Northern Territory communities, it assumes from
This chapter sketches the history, geography, and linguistics of Chinese indentured labour in the counties of its provenance in China and in its destinations in the Netherlands East Indies, and puts it into general comparative perspective.
Saltwater crocodiles are primarily distributed in south east Asia (from India to the north coast of Australia), and tend to inhabit freshwater swamps during the tropical wet season, where they mate and lay eggs, migrating up to 600 km to estuarine and coastal areas in the dry season [60]....
Of 191 independent and replicated associations that reached genome-wide significance (i.e., p < 10−8), 123 (64%) were reported in populations of European origin, 21 (11%) in populations of Southeast Asia and 45 (24%) in other populations. Only one locus (17q21) reached genome-wide...
[25], where the mutation was not detected. Recently, a study of 404 Chinese pedigrees with familial AD revealed the mutation in a proband in association with a heterozygous condition for the APOE4 allele [26]. Accordingly, this mutation has been classified as a risk factor for AD rather ...
The immunopathogenesis and molecular mechanisms involved during a hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection have made the approaches for research complex, especially concerning the patients’ responses in the course of the early acute stage. The study of molecular bases involved in the viral clearance or pers...
