In recent years, biotechnology research and development (R&D) in China has been receiving increasing attention from the world. With the open-door policy of the Chinese government, many international publications (for academia) and large market potential (for industry) constitute the two big reasons for the above phen- enon. Biotechnology has become one of the priorities in Mainland China for so- ing many important problems, such as food supply, health care, environment protection, and even energy. The central government has been implementing a c- ple of programs which cover a wide spectrum in basic research, high-tech devel- ment and industrialization, such as Basic Research Program (973 Plan), Hi-Tech R&D Program (863 Plan), Key Science & Technology Problem Solving Program (Gong-guan Plan), as well as the establishment of centers of excellence - Key Laboratories and Engineering Centers, etc. The funding from various local gove- ments and industry for R&D has also been increasing continuously. Biotechnology centers in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing have been established. There are more than 400 universities, research institutes and companies and a total of over 20,000 researchers involved in biotechnology in the Mainland. The number of research papers published internationally and patent applications is also increasing rapidly. In addition, the huge market potential with about 1. 4 billion population, which is already open to the outside world, has provided numerous opportunities for int- national and domestic companies to invest in biotechnology, which pushes forward the biotechnology industrialization in China.

This comprehensive account of the Gross-Zagier formula on Shimura curves over totally real fields relates the heights of Heegner points on abelian varieties to the derivatives of L-series. The formula will have new applications for the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and Diophantine equations. The book begins with a conceptual formulation of the Gross-Zagier formula in terms of incoherent quaternion algebras and incoherent automorphic representations with rational coefficients attached naturally to abelian varieties parametrized by Shimura curves. This is followed by a complete proof of its coherent analogue: the Waldspurger formula, which relates the periods of integrals and the special values of L-series by means of Weil representations. The Gross-Zagier formula is then reformulated in terms of incoherent Weil representations and Kudla's generating series. Using Arakelov theory and the modularity of Kudla's generating series, the proof of the Gross-Zagier formula is reduced to local formulas. The Gross-Zagier Formula on Shimura Curves will be of great use to students wishing to enter this area and to those already working in it.

Addition of halogen and nucleophiles to conjugated 1,3-enynes in a 1,4-fashion produces a chiral allene and a stereogenic center. The diastereo- and enantioselectivity of this process are discussed in detail. The 1,4-bromoetherification of 1,3-enynes can be applied to the synthesis of various bromoallene-containing natural products. Our diastereo- and enantioselective total synthesis of kumausallene is described in this chapter. The synthesis features a cascade reaction involving palladium-catalyzed desymmetrization and a DMF-mediated diastereoselective 1,4-bromoetherification reaction.

A Novel

September's Fable

A satirical deconstruction of high Maoist role models and rhetoric, Seven Kinds of Mushrooms is set in a remote forestry station annex in Shandong province during the Cultural Revolution era in China. Mushrooms weaves a vivid story of political intrigue, murder, romance and lust. Drawing on the repertories of Magic Realism and surrealism, the author masterfully turns Maoist stereotypes on their head, presenting us with an array of compromised, flawed heroes and pathetic, inept villains. The main protagonist, Old Ding, is an illiterate peasant who sees himself as the hero in a revolutionary morality play of his own making. He is the consummate peasant storyteller: ignorant of the world outside, but possessed of fantastic imagination and a knack for creating engaging, suspenseful tales. The author is at his sardonic, perspicacious best in this novel that poses universal questions about the use and abuse of language in the pursuit of power. Born in Shandong province in the mid-1950s, Zhang Wei is one of the most prolific writers in Mainland China today. He has won over thirty national literary prizes, including some of the most prestigious in China. Although he has been compared to such Western writers as William Faulkner and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Zhang is unique for the breadth and inclusiveness of his literary and intellectual reach. A liberal and original thinker, as well as an idealistic one, he focuses his concern on culture, especially on the issue of Chinese cultural identity in the post-revolutionary era. Terence Russell is Associate Professor of Chinese at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. He has published numerous articles on both Mainland Chinese and Taiwanese writers, especially relating to issues of cultural identity. Dr. Russell also has a strong interest in translation and translation theory. His full-length translation of Zhang Wei's September's Fable appeared in 2007.
