Recent advancements and cost reduction in various omics technologies have provided us with a wealth of data at the molecular, cellular and organ levels. Other types of comprehensive data sets are also increasingly available at the individual, community and population levels. The integration of these different types of data are enabling multidisciplinary convergences in diagnostics and biomarker discovery in various biomedical fields to realize a more holistic, systems biology view of diseases. Such integrated approaches have also proven useful in the field of endocrinology, particularly in better understanding complex, heterogeneous diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. For instance, researchers have combined genotyping data and RNA-sequencing data with glycomics and lipidomics to identify potential biomarkers in type 2 diabetes.

Cheung, Liu, Moratto, and their contributors examine how corpora can be effectively harnessed to benefit interpreting practice and research in East Asian settings. In comparison to the achievements made in the field of corpus- based translation studies, the use of corpora in interpreting is not comparable in terms of scope, methods, and agenda. One of the predicaments that hampers this line of inquiry is the lack of systematic corpora to document spoken language. This issue is even more pronounced when dealing with East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, which are typologically different from European languages. As language plays a pivotal role in interpreting research, the use of corpora in interpreting within East Asian contexts has its own distinct characteristics as well as methodological constraints and concerns. However, it also generates new insights and findings that can significantly advance this research field. A valuable resource for scholars of scholars focusing on corpus interpreting, particularly those dealing with East Asian languages.
" In 1817 a Cantonese scholar was mocked in Beijing as surprisingly learned for someone from the boondocks; in 1855 another Cantonese scholar boasted of the flourishing of literati culture in his home region. Not without reason, the second man pointed to the Xuehaitang (Sea of Learning Hall) as the main factor in the upsurge of learning in the Guangzhou area. Founded in the 1820s by the eminent scholar-official Ruan Yuan, the Xuehaitang was indeed one of the premier academies of the nineteenth century. The celebratory discourse that portrayed the Xuehaitang as having radically altered literati culture in Guangzhou also legitimated the academy’s place in Guangzhou and Guangzhou’s place as...
This volume grew out of the proceedings of an international conference on the Prehistory of Mining and Metallurgy hosted by The British Museum in 1995. The original papers are augmented by the inclusion of participants' more recent work and additional contributions by other leading experts in the field.
