In 1971 a “missing memristor” was proposed by a circuit theorist named Leon Chua as a 4 fundamental passive circuit element defined by a non-linear relationship between electric charge and magnetic flux linkage. In 2008 a research group from Hewlett-Packard led by Stan Williams claimed credit for finding this “missing memristor” based on the observation of a zero-crossing hysteresis effect. I r...

This book serves as an academic and practical reference for the serious student and senior practitioner alike. It provides a detailed explanation of point locations, functions, and indications, along with vivid illustrations, and describes ancient and recently developed needling and moxibustion techniques along with their clinical applications. It clearly illustrates the "Xing Nao Kai Qiao" nee...

The Drosophila wing is covered by an array of distally pointing hairs that has served as a key model system for studying planar cell polarity (PCP). The adult cuticular hairs are formed in the pupae from cell extensions that contain extensive actin filaments and microtubules. The importance of the actin cytoskeleton for hair growth and morphogenesis is clear from the wide range of phenotypes se...
