This chapter shows how to compute Yin and Yang for different latitudes so traditional Chinese herbalists can quantify the efficacy of herbal drugs. Based on daylight hours, the chapter provides a simple formula that allows computation of Yin and Yang for each day of the year. Moreover, using daily Yin and Yang values, the chapter shows how to render the Yin-Yang symbol properly in accordance wi...

A geometrical dissection that divides a spherical surface into two identical pieces is considered. When the piece is symmetric in two perpendicular directions, the two pieces are called yin and yang and the dissection is yin-yang dissection of a sphere. The yin and yang are mapped each other by a rotation M on the sphere where M2 = 1. Therefore, the yin’s landscape viewed from yang is exactly t...

Dispersal and mating patterns are known to affect the availability of both maternal and paternal kin within social groups, with important effects on the evolution of sociality. It is generally assumed that the philopatric sex forms stronger social bonds than the dispersing sex, possibly as a result of reduced kin availability for the dispersing sex after departure. However, few primate studies ...

Cheung Sha Wan Dermatology Clinic, 3/F West Kowloon Health Centre, 303 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong A 10-year-old girl had persistent asymptomatic erythematous plaques over both ankles for two years. Routine blood tests and fungal-related investigations were unremarkable. Clinical and histopathological findings suggested diagnosis of Interstitial Granulomatous Dermatitis (IGD) − a re...

We investigated the hypothesis that Yin-deficient patients have a reddened tongue with less coating. We screened 189 participants aged 20 to 49 years, complaining of headache. To classify patients in terms of Yin deficiency, we used two self-reporting Yin-deficiency questionnaires (Yin-Deficiency Questionnaire and Yin-Deficiency Scale) and diagnosis by a doctor. Based on the tests, a total of 3...

To the Editor: AsCheung et al. (1) report, accurate assessment ofminimal disease is essential to inform the fight to cure children with neuroblastoma. Cheung et al. have exploited gene expression profiling to identify and prioritize targets for the detection of this disease using quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR). Eight of 34 genes are prioritized for investigation. Using a simila...
