Sensitive Monitoring of RNA Transcription Levels Using a Graphene Oxide Fluorescence Switch ZHOU Xiaoming, LIAO Yuhui & XING Da COVER Recently, nanotechnology for biomedical research has received extensive attention, and considerable progress has been made in this area. Nanotechnology encompasses many advanced research areas such as nanocharacterization and nanomeasurement based on optoelectronic technology, nanomaterials with optically modulated parameters, nanophotonics and nano-optoelectronics. These research areas cover important applications such as detection and manipulation of bionanostructures, in vitro and in vivo characterization of biomolecules for clinical diagnosis, imaging and detection of single cells, cell masses and tissues, functional nanomaterials for dietetic therapy, and nanoscale medical transportation systems. As a result, nano-optoelectronics for biomedical research has developed into an important and highly promising interdisciplinary field. The background photograph on the cover shows in vivo non-invasive NIR fluorescence images of nano-drug carriers. Targeting molecules favors the in vivo distribution of drug molecules in the target region, which improves therapeutic efficiency (see the special issue: Nano-Biomedical Optoelectronic Materials and Devices).

    ATROCITIES IN CHINA: LIST OF VICTIMS IN THE PERSECUTION OF FALUN GONG IN CHINA Jointly Compiled By World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong PO Box 365506 Hyde Park, MA 02136 Contact: John Jaw - President Tel: 781-710-4515 Fax: 781-862-0833 Web Site: http://www.upholdjustice.org Email: [email protected] Fa Wang Hui Hui – Database system dedicated to collecting information on the persecution of Falun Gong Web Site: http://www.fawanghuihui.org Email: [email protected] April 2004 Preface We have compiled this list of victims who were persecuted for their belief to appeal to the people of the world. We particularly appeal to the international communities and request investigation of this systematic, ongoing, egregious violation of human rights committed by the Government of the People’s Republic of China against Falun Gong. Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, is a traditional Chinese spiritual practice that includes exercise and meditation. Its principles are based on the values of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. The practice began in China in 1992 and quickly spread throughout China and then beyond. By the end of 1998, by the Chinese government's own estimate, there were 70 - 100 million people in China who had taken up the practice, outnumbering Communist Party member. Despite the fact that it was good for the people and for the stability of the country, former President JIANG Zemin launched in July 1999 an unprecedented persecution of Faun Gong out of fears of losing control. Today the persecution of Falun Gong still continues in China. As of the end of March 2004, 918 Falun Gong practitioners have been confirmed to die from persecution.

    J. Geogr. Sci. 2016, 26(7): 827-854 DOI: 10.1007/s11442-016-1301-4 © 2016 Science Press Springer-Verlag Recent advances on reconstruction of climate and extreme events in China for the past 2000 years GE Quansheng1, *ZHENG Jingyun1, HAO Zhixin1, LIU Yang1,2, LI Mingqi1 1. Key Laboratory of Land Surface Pattern and Simulation, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Re- sources Research, CAS, Beijing 100101, China; 2. University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China Abstract: China is distinguished by a prominent monsoonal climate in the east of the country, a continental arid climate in the northwest and a highland cold climate on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Because of the long history of Chinese civilization, there are abundant and well-dated documentary records for climate variation over the whole of the country as well as many natural archives (e.g., tree-rings, ice cores, stalagmites, varved lake sediments and corals) that enable high-resolution paleoclimatic reconstruction. In this paper, we review re- cent advances in the reconstruction of climate and extreme events over the last 2000 years in China. In the last 10 years, many new reconstructions, based on multi-proxies with wide spa- tial coverage, have been published in China. These reconstructions enable us to understand the characteristics of climate change across the country as well as the uncertainties of re- gional reconstructions. Synthesized reconstructed temperature results show that warm in- tervals over the last 2000 years occurred in AD 1–200, AD 551–760, AD 951–1320, and after AD 1921, and also show that cold intervals were in AD 201–350, AD 441–530, AD 781–950, and AD 1321–1920.

    COVER Water exchange through the sea-land interface is a major component of the hydrologic cycle. This exchange, called submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), comprises fresh inland groundwater and recycled seawater. SGD is an important pathway as surface runoff for material transport to the marine environment. Owing to the importance of SGD for the marine geochemical cycling of elements, coastal aquifer systems can be regarded as subterranean estuaries. The photo cover shows the interaction between groundwater and ocean associated with SGD within a typical subterranean estuary. The schematic diagram shows that SGD is driven by terrestrial hydraulic gradients, density difference between seawater and inland fresh groundwater, and any number of oceanic processes such as wave pumping, tidal pumping, and thermal gradients. SGD is widespread and, in some areas, of greater marine ecological significance than surface runoff. In particular, terrestrially recharged water (or fresh inland groundwater), which is a component of SGD, may seriously affect the coastal ecological environment. Thus, it is important to carefully consider groundwater issues such as groundwater contamination, circulation, evolution, overexploitation, and seawater intrusion (see the special topic: Groundwater).

    COVER The caterpillar fungus, Ophiocordyceps sinensis (best known as Cordyceps sinensis), infects ghost moth larvae in the Tibetan Plateau alpine ecosystems. The fungus then erupts from the dead insect head to produce sexual fruiting bodies. The fungus-insect complex, called “winter worm, summer grass” in Chinese, has been used for centuries as a highly-valued traditional Chinese medicine. The failure to artificially culture the sexual fruiting body and overharvesting due to the huge market demand have propelled the fungus towards extinction. The biology of this fungus largely remains unknown, including how it infects the insect hosts and the details of its sexual life cycle in the field. How the fungus survives the extreme cold winter in Tibetan Plateau is also a mystery. Genome analysis indicated that the caterpillar fungus is sexually self-fertile, but its sexual stage is only inducible by the appropriate, yet unknown, environmental factors. Relative to other insect fungal pathogens, the fungus has evolved an extremely large genome but with fewer genes for its specialized lifestyle. Fungal adaptation to extreme cold is putatively associated with mechanisms for increasing lipid accumulation and fatty acid unsaturation as well as enhanced function of antifreeze proteins (see the article by HU Xiao et al. on page 2846).

Through the study of material culture in its archaeological contexts it is often possible to identify what goods were exchanged by way of which routes. However, less attention has been paid to exploring the cultural mechanisms that explain the nature, extent and specific cultural processes behind these cultural interactions. Taking Northwest China as its point of departure, this dissertation attempts to understand long term developments in Bronze Age Central Eurasia from a multi-scalar spatial perspective by focusing on the socio-economic dynamics among the region’s various cultural communities.
