Recently, oriental medicine has received attention for providing personalized medicine through consideration of the unique nature and constitution of individual patients. With the eventual goal of globalization, the current trend in oriental medicine research is the standardization by adopting western scientific methods, which could represent a scientific revolution.

up to that fact that the Founders retained elements of monarchy and prerogative in the Constitution, to be invoked during crises (genuine or staged). Second, all three books essentially tell a top-down story about the power play between the three federal branches, but they barely discuss the institutional balance of power, which is itself a result of public opinion, and, in particular, the dist...

Intragenic recombination is one of the most important sources of genetic variability. In our previous study, RI92 a tall line (160 cm of plant height) was observed in the cross progeny between two semi-dwarf indica cultivars Zhenshan 97 and Minghui 63. Genome-wide genotyping and sequencing indicated that the genome constitution of RI92 was completely from both parents. Bulk segregant analysis i...

From a genetic standpoint, humans living today are Stone Age hunter-gatherers displaced through time to a world that differs from that for which our genetic constitution was selected. Unlike evolutionary maladaptation, our current discordance has little effect on reproductive success; rather it acts as a potent promoter of chronic illnesses: atherosclerosis, essential hypertension, many cancers...

profiles that are being published by different organisations (such as “health in transition”). The recent votes in France and the Netherlands against the European Constitution showed that the “democratic deficit” is not just the concern of the new member states.
