The Ebola virus is pathogens of the Ebola virus disease (once called Ebola haemorrhagic fever), discovered at first in the outbreak of the central African region in 1976. So far, 5 species of the Ebola genus have been confirmed. The pathogen in the outbreak of west Africa is Zaire Ebola virus. The gene sequence analysis shows that the homology is 97% between the pathogen with the usual type of Zaire Ebola virus. The virus had a certain variation. According to statistics of the World Health Organization (WHO), 15145 people were infected with ebola virus, and 5420 people were dead in the worldwide by November 15, 2014. The number of infection and death in this Ebola outbreak hit an all-time high. On November 10, 2014, Medecins Sans Frontiers (MSF) announced that the infection cases of Ebola virus in Liberia was reduced for the first time, but at the same time pointed out that this did not mean the end of the out- break. Currently, the main method against Ebola virus is injecting NPC1 blocking agent. But when NPC1 protein is transporting cholesterol in cells, it will block cholesterol transport routes, and cause Nyman peak. Therapeutic antibodies (ZmappTM) are also being researched in actively. Two medical workers who were infected by Ebola virus had accepted the treatment of the experimental drug. According to the effect, the Ebola haemorrhagic fever can be cured. Favipivir, Japan's new anti-flu drug, also has a certain therapeutic effect on the ebola virus disease. On November 26, 2014, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that the first Ebola vaccine, cADV-EBOV, was successful in clinical trials. VSV-EBOV, Canada types vaccine, also had begun to do clinical trials. In August 2014, "jk-05", the drug against Ebola virus, was through the expert review, and was approved to be the special medicine for army. In September 2014, the detec- tion reagents of Ebola virus nucleic acid, antigen and antibody have been successfully developed by Chinese Center For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC). The test reagents were carried by the laboratory tests team of China CDC, and will be used in virus detection tasks in Sierra Leone. This issue got the support of GAO Fu academician (deputy director of Chinese Center For Disease Control And Prevention; director of Key Laboratory of Pathogenic Microorganisms《中国学术期刊文摘》赠阅 and Immunology of Chinese Academy of Sciences; researcher at Institute of Microbiology of Chinese Academy of Sciences). ·Data Rankings· By November 27, 2014, according to China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database (CNKI) and Web of Science (WOS), the num- bers of journal papers about Ebola virus research are 231 and 1373 respectively.

Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 98. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/98 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/98 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Tradition and Transformation: Cataloguing Chinese Art in the Middle and Late Imperial Eras Abstract After obtaining sovereignty, a new emperor of China often gathers the imperial collections of previous dynasties and uses them as evidence of the legitimacy of the new regime. Some emperors go further, commissioning the compilation projects of bibliographies of books and catalogues of artistic works in their imperial collections not only as inventories but also for proclaiming their imperial power. The imperial collections of art symbolize political and cultural predominance, present contemporary attitudes toward art and connoisseurship, and reflect emperors’ personal taste for art. The attempt of this research project is to explore the practice of art cataloguing during two of the most important reign periods in imperial China: Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty (r. 1101-1125) and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (r. 1736-1795). Through examining the format and content of the selected painting, calligraphy, and bronze catalogues compiled by both emperors, features of each catalogue reveal the development of cataloguing imperial artistic collections.

Abstract: Trachidermus fasciatus is a roughskin sculpin fish widespread across the coastal areas of East Asia. Due to environmental destruction and overfishing, the population of this species is under threat. In order to protect this endangered species, it is important to have the genome sequenced. Reference genomes are essential for studying population genetics, domestic farming, and genetic resource protection. However, currently, no reference genome is available for Trachidermus fasciatus, and this has greatly hindered the research on this species. In this study, we integrated nanopore long-read sequencing, Illumina short-read sequencing, and Hi-C methods to thoroughly assemble the Trachidermus fasciatus genome.

  • Official Colours of Chinese Regimes: a Panchronic Philological Study with Historical Accounts of China
    TRAMES, 2012, 16(66/61), 3, 237–285 OFFICIAL COLOURS OF CHINESE REGIMES: A PANCHRONIC PHILOLOGICAL STUDY WITH HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS OF CHINA Jingyi Gao Institute of the Estonian Language, University of Tartu, and Tallinn University Abstract. The paper reports a panchronic philological study on the official colours of Chinese regimes. The historical accounts of the Chinese regimes are introduced. The official colours are summarised with philological references of archaic texts. Remarkably, it has been suggested that the official colours of the most ancient regimes should be the three primitive colours: (1) white-yellow, (2) black-grue yellow, and (3) red-yellow, instead of the simple colours. There were inconsistent historical records on the official colours of the most ancient regimes because the composite colour categories had been split. It has solved the historical problem with the linguistic theory of composite colour categories. Besides, it is concluded how the official colours were determined: At first, the official colour might be naturally determined according to the substance of the ruling population. There might be three groups of people in the Far East. (1) The developed hunter gatherers with livestock preferred the white-yellow colour of milk. (2) The farmers preferred the red-yellow colour of sun and fire. (3) The herders preferred the black-grue-yellow colour of water bodies. Later, after the Han-Chinese consolidation, the official colour could be politically determined according to the main property of the five elements in Sino-metaphysics. The red colour has been predominate in China for many reasons. Keywords: colour symbolism, official colours, national colours, five elements, philology, Chinese history, Chinese language, etymology, basic colour terms DOI: 10.3176/tr.2012.3.03 1.

There are totally 361 recorded species of gobioid fishes belonging to 113 genera, 5 subfamilies, and 9 families. This gobioid fauna of China comprises 16.2% of 2211 known living gobioid species of the world. This report repre- sents a summary of previous researches on the suborder Gobioidei. A recently diagnosed subfamily, Polyspondylogobiinae, were assigned from the type genus and type species: Polyspondylogobius sinen- sis Kimura & Wu, 1994 which collected around the Pearl River Delta with high extremity of vertebral count up to 52-54. The undated comprehensive checklist of gobioid fishes in China will be provided in this paper.
