Nature has long used nucleic acid aptamers and enzymes for regulatory activities, such as the recently discovered “riboswitches” involved in gene expression. The existence of a large array of natural and artificial functional nucleic acids has generated tremendous enthusiasm and new opportunities for molecular scientists from diverse disciplines to devise new concepts and real applications that take advantage of those nucleic acids for sensing and other analytical applications. This book provides a timely and comprehensive overview of recent advances in the field, from leading experts in biology, chemistry, and engineering. A variety of topics are covered, from fundamentals of functional nucleic acids, to their applications as sensors, to nanotechnologies; as well as integration of functional nucleic acids into practical analytical systems.

This book explores practices and approaches on pre-disaster prevention and post-disaster reconstruction for vulnerable countries and areas enhancing earthquake disaster resilience.Destructive earthquakes have frequently occurred in urban or rural areas around the world, causing severe damage on human societies. Pre-earthquake prevention and post-earthquake reconstruction effect the disaster resilience building and long-term development of the affected communities and areas. In recent years, researchers from around the world have made a lot of efforts to study on the theme ‘earthquake disaster prevention and reconstruction’. The chapters in this edited volume contribute to the literature of earthquake disaster research from scientific, social and institutional aspects. These interdisciplinary studies mainly focus on human and policy dimensions of earthquake disaster, such as earthquake risk mitigation, social-physical resilience building, resilience capability assessment, healthcare surge capacity, house reconstruction, the roles of schools, households, civil societies and public participation in earthquake disaster prevention and reconstruction. The authors come from several counties, including China, Bangladesh, Iran, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Indonesia, covering the cases from those countries prone to earthquakes. These nine distinctive chapters have been elaborately selected and integrated from the international, ranked, peer-reviewed journal, Environmental Hazards.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the latest advancements in sustainable and resilient supply chain management. The chapters in this volume present a diverse range of topics, including innovative strategies for optimizing sustainable food supply chains through data envelopment analysis, dynamic multi-modal perspectives on global supply chain network configuration, and robust data-driven optimization techniques for designing sustainable cold supply chains for livestock and perishable goods. Other chapters delve into key areas such as optimal pricing and production lot size strategies for sustainable inventory models, carbon-sensitive transport solutions for deteriorating supply chains, and trade credit policies in growing product supply chains.Additionally, the book addresses the complexities of inventory management, purchasing, and cutting policies for imperfect and perishable raw materials, the influence of supply chain finance and trade digitization on financial stability, and the development of heuristic master planning algorithms that prioritize fairness and flexibility. Further studies examine adaptive product changeover policies, a PDCA-based approach to evaluating green supply chain performance, and robust multi-criteria decision analysis techniques for selecting transportation service providers in the face of uncertainty. By offering insights into both theoretical and practical aspects, this book provides a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers looking to navigate the evolving landscape of sustainable supply chains. This book will be valuable to students, researchers and policymakers in the fields of supply chain management, sustainable logistics and operations research.The chapters in this book were originally published in International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management.

This book analyzes China’s food safety co-governance with Chinese characteristics through the Asymmetric Party-State-Society (PSS) Triangle Structure, combining theoretical analysis with sixty-seven interviews conducted between 2018 and 2024. It traces how this framework took shape and matured from the 2008 melamine scandal to the present.The framework positions the Communist Party at the apex, providing strategic direction; the government at the base, translating directives into enforceable standards and enforcement; and society at the pivot, participating within state-defined boundaries. It develops the concept of structured asymmetry, demonstrating how hierarchical authority and functional collaboration can coexist. This challenges the assumption in Western collaborative governance theory that effective governance requires dispersed power and voluntary participation. It places China alongside the United States and the European Union, assesses the strengths and limitations of each model, and examines China’s growing influence in international standard-setting bodies, including the Codex Alimentarius Commission. The book further considers the future of PSS co-governance as digital technologies and global supply chain pressures reshape the institutional boundaries of the triangle structure.The book will appeal to scholars and practitioners working in food safety law and policy, Chinese politics and governance, comparative public administration, and regulatory theory.

This companion exercise and solution book to A Classical Introduction to Cryptography: Applications for Communications Security contains a carefully revised version of teaching material used by the authors and given as examinations to advanced-level students of the Cryptography and Security Lecture at EPFL from 2000 to mid-2005. A Classical Introduction to Cryptography Exercise Book covers a majority of the subjects that make up today's cryptology, including symmetric or public-key cryptography, cryptographic protocols, design, cryptanalysis, and implementation of cryptosystems. Exercises do not require an extensive background in mathematics, since the most important notions are introduced and discussed in many of the exercises. The authors expect the readers to be comfortable with basic facts of discrete probability theory, discrete mathematics, calculus, algebra, and computer science. Following the model of A Classical Introduction to Cryptography: Applications for Communications Security, exercises related to the more advanced parts of the textbook are marked with a star.

Influenced by both the "gray, sinister sea" near the village where Yi Lu grew up during the Cultural Revolution, and the beauty of the sea in the books she read as a child, Sea Summit is a collection of paradox and questioning. The sea is an impossible force to the poet: it is both a majestic force that predates man, and something to carry with us wherever we go, to be put "by an ancient rattan chair," so we can watch "its waves toss" from above. Exploring the current ecological crisis and our complicated relationship to the wildness around us, Yi Lu finds something more complex than a traditional nature poet might in the mysterious connection between herself and the forces of nature represented by the boundless ocean. Translated brilliantly by the acclaimed poet Fiona Sze-Lorrain, this collection of poems introduces an important contemporary Chinese poet to English-language readers.

Climate change is an inevitable and urgent global challenge with long-term implications for the sustainable development of all countries. To overcome this human crisis, the scientific consensus is driving global action towards low carbon economics. Though this action has to involve all sectors (industries, governments, and citizens) and at all levels (global, national and regional levels), the implementation of climate strategies will predominantly be at the regional level. By establishing an innovative range of model technologies, this book aims to develop systematic quantificational methods, such as uncertain multi-objective programming models and system dynamics models, to provide a new approach to low carbon economics that can serve as a paradigm for general regions. At the same time, it offers decision makers a number of effective strategies for some key issues in regional low carbon development, such as greenhouse gas control, ecological capacity evaluation, regional economic prediction, energy structure optimization, land resource utilization, industrial structure adjustment, low carbon industrial chains, low carbon transportation systems and low carbon tourism. It also provides researchers with a new perspective on how to address social problems using quantitative techniques.
