It was first found in plants, and now it has developed into a kind of biotechnology as well as an important approach in post- genome era. This paper is to summarize the achievements of studies on RNAi tech- nology in basic biology, medicine, pharmacy, botany and other fields.展开更多

Because college students＇ English foundation is weak in our country at present stage, there are many problems in the process of language information output. In this case, we can increase the application of Intemet technology as a way to expand language output in English language teaching. This article is to explore college English teaching language information output ways in the Internent age.展开更多

Elementary- and high-school libraries, as well as the academic ones, are ubiquitous as associates and promoters of importance of information in the Digital Age. Information literacy becomes a foundation of an individual＇s literacy in general and leads him/her toward lifelong learning that becomes a philosophy on the way to a society of knowledge. The paper presents research results of informatics and information literacy among students with a purpose of improving the library mission and vision within future education. Data were collected by poll and the pollees were high-school and university students of Slavonski Brod and Osijek. This study found that although the trend of Internet usage in a library is not high, the percentage of those possessing a basic Information and Communication Technology OCT） literacy level is high. Another significant fact is that the number of those unskilled in ICT usage （online database and catalog search） is high which represents a challenge to the libraries and ICT experts who are the incumbents of great responsibility.展开更多

It also discusses the evolution of the tectonic environment of this region during Phanerozoic Eon, according to the features such as the composition of sandstones derived from the old land and alkalinity of volcanic rocks and so on. Continuous uplifting was maintained in Cathaysia during Sinian Period and Paleozoic Era, typically with no significant tectono-magmatic activity being observed. Its northwestern margin belongs to the type of passive continental margin during the middle and late phase of Caledonian Cycle. It showed the characteristics of a steady continent in late Paleozoic era, but was turned quickly into an active continental margin after the middle Jurassic period.展开更多

Why？ Simply because the most innovative and ＂literary＂ texts are always surprising： They are ＂different＂, and could not possibly result from writing guidelines devised only to facilitate a mechanical evaluation itself conceived for the sake of some illusory objectivity... Now, in our postmodern age with its rejection of models, what is more difficult than assessing the quality of creative writing？ In our approach, we suggest restoring confidence in the teacher, an expert reader if any, who, acting as a publisher, dramaturge, or mere aesthete, knows how to take his pupils＇ texts seriously, acknowledge their aesthetic value, and look at apparent clumsiness as a possible promise of innovation. The teaching of creative writing lies both in this specific reception of budding works and in the teacher＇s performative utterances that, then and there, make the pupil a writer.展开更多

Contemporariness is not a purely historical concept but one from historical philosophy. It differs from both modernity and postmodernity, occurring and being present simultaneously with our immediate existing. Since contemporary Chinese philosophy represents the unfolding of Chinese philosophy in its contemporariness, this means that contemporary Chinese philosophy occurs in the circumstances of ottr immediate existing and is moreover present simultaneously with contemporary Western and Marxist philosophy. This provides the common ground that makes dialogue between them possible.展开更多
