This was the theme of the Second Lancang-Mekong Cooperation （LMC） Leaders＇ Meeting in Cambodia, on which the curtain was lowered on January 10. The conference resulted in the release of the Phnom Penh Declaration and the adoption of the Five- Year Plan of Action on Lancang-Mekong Cooperation （2018-22）. These documents are expected to chart the course for the LMC＇s development into the next decade.展开更多

People have shown strong interest in travel and other economic activities as they can move freely with the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. China’s economy is on course for a robust recovery, which was indicated during the Spring Festival holiday on 21-27 January.展开更多

The simple heat treatment greatly improves the hardness, tensile strength and abrasion resistance of medium carbon and high C - low Cr steels. The results indicate that the material removal during abrasion is controlled by a number of factors, such as hardness, chemical composition, microstructure and heat treatment conditions. The conclusion is that the heat treated high C - low Cr steel and mild steel carburized by using coaltar pitch provide the best hardness and abrasion resistance and thus appear to be the most suitable materials for making agricultural tools.展开更多

Gradual improvements in outcomes over the last decade have largely been due to improvement in surgical techniques including the more routine use of laparoscopy and advances in perioperative care.展开更多

Emerging evidence has suggested that earlier detection of type 2 diabetes, glycaemic control improvement and intensified risk factor management may result in clinically important improvements in diabetes-related morbidity and mortality. According to the World Health Organization （WHO）p strategies such as clinical questionnaires, urine glucose, blood glucose, glycated haemoglobin A1C （HbA1C） and combinations of the above tests can be used for screening diabetes.展开更多
