Chinese Academy of Sciences, National Development and Reform Commission and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region will unite together to construct a large all-movable radio telescope which has an aperture of 110m diameter in the county of Qitai. It will be the largest all-movable radio telescope on the ground to achieve the most advanced level in the world after it is put into use. Yet if such large radio telescope is built, the most prominent ...

Urban development and the migration from rural to urban areas are significant global phenomena. Various models aim to address these issues, especially cellular automata models. This book presents a simulation model of urban development based on cellular automata principles and provides theoretical context. The first part of the text supplies a practical review of modeling techniques in urban development research and develops a cellular automat...

The first retrospective of a true master of Chinese Art, published to coincide with an exhibition at the Ashmolean which runs from 7 November 2017 to 15 April 2018.

Bildgewaltiges Kriegs-Drama von Zhang Yimou ("House of Flying Daggers", "Hero") mit Christian Bale (Oscar-Gewinner 2011) in der Hauptrolle!

Nanking 1937: Die Invasion japanischer Truppen stürzt die chinesische Hauptstadt in Chaos und Verderben.Eine Gruppe von Schülerinnen kann die relativ sicheren Mauern der Winchester Cathedral erreichen, wo sich die Mädchen im Keller verstecken. In der Kathedrale sucht auch der Amerikaner John Miller Zuflucht. 13 Prostituierte aus einem nahe gelegenen Bordell flüchten sich ebenfalls in die Kirche. Als die Japaner das Haus stürmen, entgehen die S...

Emphasizes the discussions of some unique issues from the adaptive finite element approximation of optimal control. Aimed at students and researchers.

This title addresses some of the key issues in agent engineering. These include: what is meant by autonomous agents, how we can build agents with autonomy, how agents can co-operate among themselves, and the desirable capabilities of agents with respect to surviving and living.

This is not a purely mathematical book. It presents the basic principle of wavelet theory to electrical and electronic engineers, computer scientists, and students, as well as the ideas of how wavelets can be applied to pattern recognition. It also contains many novel research results from the authors' research team.

This book offers an alternative to conventional thinking about the law, providing an innovative approach to assess and refine the rigor of legal processes in the on-going quest to end impunity.

This book integrates the fundamentals of asymptotic theory of statistical inference for time series under nonstandard settings, e.g., infinite variance processes, not only from the point of view of efficiency but also from that of robustness and optimality by minimizing prediction error. This is the first book to consider the generalized empirical likelihood applied to time series models in frequency domain and also the estimation motivated by...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed conference proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Web and Internet Economics, WINE 2014, held in Beijing, China, in December 2014. The 32 regular and 13 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 107 submissions and cover results on incentives and computation in theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, and microeconomics.

Due to the fast growth of the Web and the difficulties in finding desired information, efficient and effective information retrieval systems have become more important than ever, and the search engine has become an essential tool for many people. The ranker, a central component in every search engine, is responsible for the matching between processed queries and indexed documents. Because of its central role, great attention has been paid to t...

The book presents some of the findings of research into China’s water quality criteria for toxic pollutants, including heavy metals, PAHs and emerging pollutant. Water quality criteria (WQC) are the scientific basis for establishing water quality standards (WQSs). For a long time, the study of WQC in China has been neglected, so that almost all of China’s WQSs were developed based on foreign WQC. This book provides valuable information for env...

The need for a modern text to teach Chinese to English-speaking studentshas long been recognized. Even today Chinese tends to be taught by rote rather thanconcept for the want of pedagogically sophisticated course materials. Jennifer Liuand Margaret Yan, two Indiana University professors, have now produced a cognitivelybased first year course for learning Chinese. The innovative features of their textsinclude. * An introduction to the cultural...

This pioneering and unique treatise shows how the newly developed mathematical techniques of holographic duality can unify the fundamental theories of physics. Written for both students and researchers, this innovative text, with a layered style, deftly applies the mathematical machinery of string theory to the general nature of matter.

This book facilitates a full understanding of the basic principles and key supporting standards of cyber physical systems (CPS). It describes in a systematic fashion the architecture of CPS that is appropriate for most applications and services, including mobile sensing devices. It discusses enabling technologies such as machine-to-machine communications and mobile cloud computing for CPS. Finally, it demonstrates the great potential of applyi...

Patents are powerful weapons in a company's legal arsenal, with both defensive and offensive capabilities. Patents protect a company's innovation from potential infringers, while at the same time support the company's efforts to exploit their innovation commercially in the global marketplace. This book explores the role of patents in today's knowledge economy. We discuss how patents have become a valuable commodity and have a lucrative market ...

Learning to Rank for Information Retrieval is an introduction to the field of learning to rank, a hot research topic in information retrieval and machine learning. It categorizes the state-of-the-art learning-to-rank algorithms into three approaches from a unified machine learning perspective, describes the loss functions and learning mechanisms in different approaches, reveals their relationships and differences, shows their empirical perform...

Encounters is the advanced-level Chinese text series to accompany the popular Interactions and Connections textbooks. Encounters carries over methods and themes developed in the beginning and intermediate texts, with greater em

Applications of Neural Networks in High Assurance Systems" is the first book directly addressing a key part of neural network technology: methods used to pass the tough verification and validation (V&V, ) standards required in many safety-critical applications. The book presents what kinds of evaluation methods have been developed across many sectors, and how to pass the tests. A new adaptive structure of V&V, is developed in this book, differ...
