  • Enzymes Are Nature's Catalysts, Featuring High Reactivity, Selectivity
    ************************* Report Title************************************* Dr. Yao Chen Full Professor personal State Key Laboratory of Medicinal photograph Chemical Biology College of Pharmacy Nankai University Tianjin, China 300071 Phone: 01186-18222132527 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Enzymes are nature’s catalysts, featuring high reactivity, selectivity, and specificity under mild conditions. Enzymatic catalysis has long been of great interest to chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. However, the use of enzymes for industrial applications is often handicapped by their low operational stability, difficult recovery, and lack of reusability under operational conditions. Immobilization of enzymes on solid supports can enhance enzyme stability as well as facilitate separation and recovery for reuse while maintaining activity and selectivity. As new classes of crystalline solid- state materials, porous frameworks materials (such as covalent-organic frameworks, COFs and metal-organic frameworks, MOFs) feature high surface area, tunable pore size, high stability, and easily tailored functionality, which entitle them as ideal supports for encapsulation of biomolecules to form novel composite materials for various applications. Our researches mainly focus on their biocatalysis, biomimetic and medicinal applications. This novel platform based on those biomolecule-incorporation composite materials exhibited various functionality and superior separation efficiency, biocatalytic performances and great potentials on biopharmaceutical formulations. Brief Biography Dr. Yao Chen obtained master degree from Nanjing Tech University, then obtained Ph.D degree from University of South Florida. After finished a posdoc training at UC San Diego, she moved back to China, and is now a full professor of State Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemical Biology and College of Pharmacy at Nankai University. Her research interest mostly focuses on incorporating biomolecule into porous supports (e.g.

Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino- Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form.

  • University Charter As the Basis of Internal Governance in Chinese Universities
    2019 2nd International Workshop on Advances in Social Sciences (IWASS 2019) University Charter as the Basis of Internal Governance in Chinese Universities Wang Bing Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, Moscow, Russia Keywords: University charter, Internal governance in the chinese universities, Modern university system Abstract: The development of the university charter is an important basic work for building a modern university system and promoting higher education in accordance with the law. The university charter is the link between social law and the university system and is an intermediary platform for the university to interact with the government and society. This article discusses the meaning and characteristics of the university charter, analyzes the relationship between the university charter and the internal management system in universities. 1. Introduction The university charter is the full laws and regulations of the university, which governs work in the university in accordance with laws and regulations of the competent education authorities. It should clearly define the duties and powers of organizations and power structures, the rules for the appointment of personnel and the exercise of authority under the mission and purpose of the university[1]. The charter of the university should cover everything related to the management of the university. 2. The Process of Formulation of the Charters in the Universities In 1995, the “Law of the PRC on Education” stated that universities have legal qualifications and the right to self-government in accordance with the charters. In 1998, the “Law of the PRC on Higher Education” stipulated that the charter on the establishment of the university should be sent to the approving authority.

  • Introducing Legal Knowledge and Process-Based Pedagogy Into the LIS Curriculum in China: Essential Or Auxiliary?
    Submitted on: 20.08.2018 Introducing legal knowledge and process-based pedagogy into the LIS curriculum in China: essential or auxiliary? Joan Lijun Liu Library, Fudan University, Shanghai, P.R. China E-mail: [email protected] Wei Luo School of Law Library, Washington University in St. Louis, MO, USA E-mail: [email protected] Copyright © 2018 by Joan Lijun Liu, Wei Luo. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 _______________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Despite the rapid development of the Chinese legal system and legal education for the past 30 years, most Chinese courts, law firms, and law schools still do not have established law libraries. Law librarians remain an undersized group, many of whom do not have proper educational qualifications on both LIS and law. This deficiency has inevitably affected the potency of legal education and practice. This research suggests that several barriers to competent legal information services in China relate to the existing LIS curriculum for postgraduate education, which fails to place law librarianship as one of its goals. By surveying the curricular data from top Chinese LIS schools, it has been found that only a few courses on legal knowledge, no formal education for a legal information specialty, few training programs for full-time law librarians, and no professional pool for recruiting young law librarians, are offered. Some studies on opening up the curriculum to cope with more possibilities have been conducted, but no substantial changes have yet been made to the curriculum.

He was fortunate to meet a Confucian scholar in Tianjin named Yan Xiu, a reformer who had been stripped of his high posts by anti-reform Qing court officials. Returning to Tianjin to start a modern school, Yan learned that Zhang Boling had training in Western know- ledge and wanted to be an educator, so he asked him to join the venture. Thus started an immensely fruitful partnership lasting over three decades. Confucius (551–479 BC) “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember.

Due to their ease of synthesis, good biocompatibility and designable bioactivity, peptide derivatives-based supramolecular nanomaterials have attracted increasing interest in improving the immunogenicity of cancer vaccines.
