Ethnographies of urban China informed by current theoretical concerns.

This book consists of a number of chapters addressing different aspects of activity recognition, roughly in three main categories of topics. The first topic will be focused on activity modeling, representation and reasoning using mathematical models, knowledge representation formalisms and AI techniques. The second topic will concentrate on activity recognition methods and algorithms. Apart from traditional methods based on data mining and mac...

Hypermedia systems may be one of the most significant contributions to the Internet in recent years. As the needs of users have changed, the hypermedia systems have also changed, and adaptive and adaptable hypermedia systems have emerged. This text examines both types of systems, discussing the benefits, impacts and implications.

Covers the general theory and practice of using an Electron Capture Detector (ECD) to study reactions of thermal electrons with molecules In 1897, J. J. Thompson "discovered" the electron. Around the same time, Mikhail Semenovich Tswett presented a lecture on his novel method of dynamic adsorption analysis, soon known as chromatography. These achievements laid the groundwork for James Lovelock, who fifty years later observed the perturbation ...

The new social media build on and further complicate all of the issues and processes of symbolic interaction. This volume builds on and expands the existing symbolic interactionist perspective to include the study of social interaction made possible by the use of new social media. This special issue demonstrates the interface between willful social interaction and structured technological features - how social media are defined by social inter...

The Internet and digital media have become conduits and locales where millions of Chinese share information and engage in creative expression and social participation.
