We have entered into the era of artificial intelligence, neural machine translation, and especially large language models which have dramatically changed the landscape of human translation practices. On the one hand, translation technology has remarkably improved translation efficiency and reduced the cost of translation; on the other, it has brought about some issues related to translation quality, translator competence, translation ethics, and so on. This offers fertile ground for resear...

Based on the past 30-years' research on the technical and cultural values of China's Grand Canal, this book, based on interdisciplinary research, studies the natural and social background of the evolution and development of different sections of the Grand Canal in different historical periods, as well as the interrelations between the Grand Canal and the Chinese politics, economics, and culture. It also assesses the effects of the Grand Canal on the progress of the Chinese civilization, en...

This book, LNCS 16193, constitutes the proceedings of the First International Workshop on Digital Twin for Healthcare, DT4H 2025, held in conjunction with MICCAI 2025, in Daejeon, South Korea, during September 23, 2025.The 15 full papers included in the book were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. They deal with integrating Digital Twin frameworks with conventional medical imaging and computational tools, focusing on topics such as organ- and disease-specific DT m...

This book provides a scientific basis for development of targeted inhibitors and directional inhibitors of preventing spontaneous combustion of coal. This book applied solvent extraction assisted by ultrasonic into the study of coal spontaneous combustion and hence broken through the technical bottlenecks of existing studies for mechanisms of coal spontaneous combustion. Further, the theories of particles physics were firstly combined with theories of coal chemistry and finally explained s...

Variational Translation Theory (VTT), first formulated by Professor Huang Zhonglian in 1999, has incorporated both Chinese and foreign thought, especially the philosophy of change embodied in the ancient Chinese classic Book of Changes, and it sees change as a striking, gradual process. Compared with the change a text undergoes in complete translation, a change or "variation" in variational translation (VT) may be viewed as a kind of fast, thorough, and global changes, including instant, i...
