This paper addresses Chinese interrogation rules from historical and comparative perspectives by relating them to the very different development of interrogation procedure in Europe. A fuller understanding of the evolution of the rules in both contexts is relevant to the present day controversy concerning the universal versus relative nature of interrogation fairness. The comparative analysis reveals that, in fact, the influence of ancient Greek and Chinese civilizations resulted in a great difference between Europe and China regarding legal cultures and institutional arrangements for criminal interrogation procedure. Considering future legal reforms in China, and given the very different historical and institutional context, the likelihood seems low that an 'autonomous version' of the right to remain silent and the privilege against self-incrimination will develop on China's very different soil. However, traditional native resources are also available to legal reformers to ensure a cooperative interviewing style in criminal questioning, and eliminate police-coerced confessions.

In these proceedings, they bring those discussions to a wider audience. Question and answer sessions at the conference were necessarily short and a few speakers delivered abbreviated remarks; this volume restores a number of omissions, and provides additional answers to some pertinent questions put by the audience. The Center hopes to encourage the serious problem-solving these complex issues demand. Far too much time has been spent trying to fix the blame.

For historical reasons, the Chinese and American accounting systems are very different. Today, the world is rapidly globalizing, and one significant portion of this trend is the fact that both Chinese enterprises and American investors are trying to form joint ventures. In the process, they are facing serious financial difficulties, which arise in part from a lack of understanding of the differences and similarities across the two accounting systems. Hence, learning such information has become an imperative. This study begins to explore such information first through a portrayal of the historical differences and similarities inherent in both accounting systems. It then moves to focus on gaining an understanding of the differences and similarities between Chinese and American financial statement analysis. I focus on financial statement analysis not because it represents merely a part of both accounting systems, but because it constitutes a major part of them. For the Chinese government and enterprises, studying the American system, which is far more advanced, assists them in moving forward through an absorption of the newest technology and means of analysis. On the other hand, for American investors, understanding the difference between the Chinese and American accounting systems not only increases their knowledge of their trading partner's financial condition, but most importantly helps them to make the right choices, and to choose the right partners. The final and most significant result of studies like this one, however, is an enhanced mutual understanding between American and Chinese accountants, managers, joint-venture partners, and all other members across the boundaries of the international business world.

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology has placed important milestones in the life science and changed the direction in biomedical science inclucing cancer. Scientists around the world are attempting to find the root cause of cancer and they are looking for more direct and effective means to cure cancer. This journey to conquer cancer is more optimistic now with the unfolding of the cancer genome. This book focuses on the application of various NGS in the frontier cancer genome research. The 18 chapters in this volume have been written by scientists with many outstanding contributions in their area and the join effort has created comprehensive insightful view on (1) Overview of next generation sequencing technology in cancer genome research (2) Genome regulation and targeted sequencing in cancer (3) RNA transcriptome (coding and non-coding) in cancer genome (4)The challenges of computational biology for cancer genome study. This book is a state-of-the-art reference to all scientific researchers and onologists who are interested in the understanding of the cancer initiatome at whole genome scale and to those are keen to translate the 'base pairs to bedside' for better management of cancer patients in the era of personalized medicine.
