Producing and storing self-sustaining drinking water from rainwater for emergency response on isolated island.

Drinking water on isolated islands includes treated rainwater, water shipped from the mainland, and desalinated seawater. However, marine transportation and desalination plants are vulnerable to emergencies, such as extreme weather, making self-sustaining stand-by water for emergency response essential. Rainwater is ideal for producing the stand-by water, and rainwater harvesting is sustainable and clean, and prolonged biostability can be ensured by managing biological and chemical parameters.

[Discussion on the needling technique with filiform needle in acupuncture-moxibustion teaching materials in the Republic of China].

Through collecting the literature data of the needling technique with filiform needle in 20 acupuncture-moxibustion teaching materials in the Republic of China， the manipulation techniques with filiform needle were analyzed, such as the technique of needle insertion, the technique of reinforcing and reducing, and the management of acupuncture abnormal conditions, as well as manual techniques and analgesics methods. It is found that the era of the Republic of China was the transition period of traditional acupuncture techniques to the modern ones in acupuncture-moxibustion teaching materials, in which, the twirling technique was predominated in the technique of needle insertion. In that period, the insertion technique of tube needle had been introduced and simplified, the theory and method of the new-style technique of reinforcing and reducing were emerged and the types of acupuncture abnormal conditions recorded in the teaching materials were different from those at present.
