Book Description
The I Ching, also called Book of Changes, is the most comprehensive and oldest oracle originated in ancient China. The I Ching (consists of 64 Hexagrams) signifies all situations and behaviors relating to nature and humans. The I Ching system is the integration of cosmology, philosophy, mathematics, symbolism and divination. It stresses the point of balance of opposites; indicates the changeable and the unchangeable which is that things change inevitably as times and conditions change while the laws of nature never change. Binary Number, the modern computer language, was invented by Gottfried Leibniz in 1679. Leibniz was deeply inspired by the I Ching. He recognized and wrote that his original concept of Binary System (using only the digit 0 and 1 throughout the computation) was corresponded to the I Ching’s Trigram (binary number from 000 to 111) thus the Hexagrams (Gua). Yin (0) and Yang (1) are the basic binary configuration of the I Ching symbols. Furthermore, DNA (the hereditary material of all life) Genetic Code, which consists of 64-Triplet of nucleotides, is exactly analogous to the 64-Triplet System of the I Ching. Isn’t that miraculous? Besides the above stated values, the philosophical and symbolic structures of the I Ching are also infinitely valued. The I Ching originally contains a system of divination. However the Numerology of I Ching, which was derived thousands of years later, significantly enriches the I Ching divinatory methods. It adds values of numeric, time, symbolism and the Five Elements (mutual generation and restriction between Metal, Fire, Water, Wood and Earth) to the original I Ching divination system, makes it simple to learn; swift to be used and miraculous the results. This book will focus on introducing this numerological way of divination. In order to allow beginners to straightforwardly understand this numerology in a short time, this book employs plenty of graphical images and charts to make it easy and simple to learn. All steps of divination are presented as visualized as possible. As a I Ching beginner or a lover, you will enjoy the great fun of using the Numerology of I Ching in life, in problem-solving or decision-making. — David Huang

Toxoplasma Gondii Co-opts Host Immune Signaling by Secretion of a Polymorphic Tyrosine Kinase, ROP16
Author: Yi-Ching Ong
Publisher: Stanford University
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate, intracellular parasite of the Apicomplexan phylum that is able to infect nearly all warm-blooded vertebrates. This capability for survival in a variety of host niches is reflected in the diversification of Toxoplasma strains. Strains differ dramatically in their interaction with hosts, and a fruitful approach towards understanding the molecular underpinnings of disease has been to identify and characterize drivers of strain-specific differences in host response. Chapter 1 provides a general introduction to Toxoplasma gondii and its ability to modulate host immunity, with special attention given to what is known about the mechanisms behind strain-specific phenotypes and the role of one particular player, ROP16. Chapter 2 describes experiments demonstrating that Toxoplasma secretes a polymorphic tyrosine kinase, ROP16, that can directly phosphorylate host STAT6. These experiments made use of a targeted disruption of the ROP16 locus in Type I parasites to identify ROP16-dependent signaling pathways, and used biochemical approaches to dissect the mechanism by which ROP16 is able to induce rapid STAT6 activation. Chapter 3 describes work demonstrating that ROP16 activation of STAT6 directs murine macrophage polarization towards an alternatively activated (M2) phenotype. In Chapter 4, the avian host response to Toxoplasma is examined to determine whether strain-specific differences in host response might be inverted in non-mammalian hosts. We show that strain-specific transcriptional host response, as well as transcriptional host response modulated by ROP16, appears very similar in chickens as in mice and humans. This suggests that variance between mammalian and avian host species in general may not be the source of selective pressure for the success of these common strains, or of ROP16's variability. Chapter 5 concludes with a discussion of future directions for further characterization of ROP16's role in modulating host response. We show that ROP16 interacts with host chromatin and suggest that investigation of ROP16's function in the host nucleus might yield further molecular insights as to how Toxoplasma is able to co-opt host cells and influence the course of infection.

The Cambridge Companion to John Cage
Author: David Nicholls
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139826395
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
John Cage (1912–1992) was without doubt one of the most important and influential figures in twentieth-century music. Pupil of Schoenberg, Henry Cowell, Marcel Duchamp, and Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, among others, he spent much of his career in pursuit of an unusual goal: 'giving up control so that sounds can be sounds', as he put it. This book celebrates the richness and diversity of Cage's achievements - the development of the prepared piano and of the percussion orchestra, the adoption of chance and of indeterminacy, the employment of electronic resources and of graphic notation, and the questioning of the most fundamental tenets of Western art music. Besides composing around 300 works, he was also a prolific performer, writer, poet, and visual artist. Written by a team of experts, this Companion discusses Cage's background, his work, and its performance and reception, providing in sum a fully rounded portrait of a fascinating figure.

Total I Ching
Author: Stephen Karcher
Publisher: Piatkus
ISBN: 9780749939809
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The I Ching (pronounced ee-ching) is the oldest and most respected oracle or divinatory system in the world. There are currently two translations available which offer somewhat conflicting interpretations - the popular Confucian version and an earlier Taoist version called Zhouyi. Reconstructed by twentieth-century scholars and archaeologists, Zhouyi presents the highly imaginative world of myth and ritual that is the hidden base of thousands of years of Eastern thought. Now, for the first time ever, Stephen Karcher fuses these two traditions using modern scholarship and archaeological and linguistic research, along with a wide background in Eastern philosophy and comparative religion, and presents them to the modern Western reader in a comprehensive and accessible new form. TOTAL I CHING is a complete oracle with instruction for immediate use in all life situations, but is also the first translation to detail the mythology of the divinatory system, offering a revolutionary new approach to the world's oldest wisdom tradition.

Pages : 605
Book Description
Mutually assured destruction has led to decades of peace between humanity and the Trisolarans, but a new force is awakening and this delicate balance can no longer hold... Half a century after the Doomsday Battle, the uneasy balance of Dark Forest Deterrence keeps the Trisolaran invaders at bay. Earth enjoys unprecedented prosperity due to the infusion of Trisolaran knowledge. With human science advancing daily and the Trisolarans adopting Earth culture, it seems that the two civilizations will soon be able to co-exist peacefully as equals without the terrible threat of mutually assured annihilation. But the peace has also made humanity complacent. Cheng Xin, an aerospace engineer from the early twenty-first century, awakens from hibernation in this new age. She brings with her knowledge of a long-forgotten program dating from the beginning of the Trisolar Crisis, and her very presence may upset the delicate balance between two worlds. Will humanity reach for the stars or die in its cradle? Death's End is the New York Times bestselling conclusion to Cixin Liu's tour-de-force series that began with The Three-Body Problem. "The War of the Worlds for the twenty-first century . . . Packed with a sense of wonder." --The Wall Street Journal "A meditation on technology, progress, morality, extinction, and knowledge that doubles as a cosmos- in-the-balance thriller." --NPR The Remembrance of Earth's Past Trilogy The Three-Body Problem The Dark Forest Death's End Other Books Ball Lightning (forthcoming)
