In wake of the sudden collapse of society, the world is in unrest as an asteroid known as the Catalyst barrels toward Earth. Less than three years away, the United Nations' solution of deflecting the rock has been sabotaged by young energy tycoon Yuri Antonov and his henchwoman Viktoriya Markovic-who see the asteroid as an opportunity for Yuri's alternative-energy mining operation. Political and social elite have retreated to massive undergrou...

This book introduces readers to the application of fracture mechanics and mesomechanics to the analysis of the fracture behaviors of wood and bamboo. It presents a range of research methods to study the fracture behaviors of wood and bamboo, taking into account their various fracture mechanisms resulting from differences in their macroscopic and microscopic structures. It combines theoretical analysis with experiments, as well as various mathe...

Master's Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, grade: 2.0, RWTH Aachen University (Institute for Automation of Complex Power Systems), language: English, abstract: To rise to the challenge of the growing number of distributed Renewable Energy Sources (RES) for grid integration, Ancillary Service (AS) is increasingly crucial to maintaining the stability of power grid worldwide. In recent years, discussions ab...

This book mainly focuses on the experimental research of rf breakdown and field emission with novel methods, including triggering rf breakdown with high intensity laser and pin-shaped cathodes as well as locating field emitters with a high resolution in-situ imaging system. With these methods, this book has analyzed the power flow between cells during rf breakdown, observed the evolution of field emission during rf conditioning and the depende...

Excerpt from A Chinese Appeal to Christendom: Concerning Christian MissionsBut it is not my intention in these pages to discuss the question of whether there be indeed some natural law that has set Up an impenetrable barrier between East and West. I wish only to draw attention to one sphere of Western activity that denotes an attitude of mind which we Chinese often discuss among ourselves, and which none of us have ever been able fully to unde...

This book examines the formation trajectory and development path of China’s newly formed urban areas, which was the result of an unprecedented massive urbanization process. The analysis is based on the case of Dezhou, Shandong Province. This book systematically introduces strategic studies, planning and design, development and construction, investments, policies and future development of new urban areas. The book broadly summarizes strategies ...

Shanghai has been demolished and rebuilt into a gleaming megacity in recent decades, now ranking with New York and London as a hub of global finance. But that transformation has come at a grave human cost. This compelling book is the first to apply the concept of domicide-the eradication of a home against the will of its dwellers-to the sweeping destruction of neighborhoods, families, and life patterns to make way for the new Shanghai. Here we...

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are a heterogeneous group of Non-Hodgkin lymphomas with a variety of clinical presentation and outcomes. The diagnosis and treatment of CTCLs have evolved significantly with advances in our understanding of their pathogenesis and biological behaviors through immunophenotypic, molecular, and cytogenetic analysis and clinical correlation. The diagnosis and classification of CTCLs depend on integration of clinic...

Marshy salt-soil improvement and efficient use are a worldwide problem. As the global population increases and urbanisation accelerates, arable land will be the most serious challenge for human beings and is decreasing under global climate change and the pressure of various environmental issues. This case is especially true for China. Modern agriculture is facing a serious challenge which will extend into the future. Land is one of the most im...

This book consists of four hundred exercises in mathematical statistics and their solutions, over 95% of which are in the author's Mathematical Statistics, Second Edition (Springer, 2003). For students preparing for work on a Ph.D. degree in statistics and instructors of mathematical statistics courses, this useful book provides solutions to train students for their research ability in mathematical statistics and presents many additional resul...

This is a multidimensional study of a socially engineered simulation of modernity that transformed Nantong, a provincial town, from a rural backwater to a model of progress in early twentieth-century China. The author analyzes this transformation by a depiction of new institutional and cultural phenomena--for example, a museum, cinema, theater, sports, parks, name cards, paper money--employed by local elite to exhibit the modern.

Fuel cells are one of the most promising clean energy conversion devices that can solve the environmental and energy problems in our society. However, the high platinum loading of  fuel cells - and thus their high cost - prevents their commercialization.  Non- or low- platinum electrocatalysts are needed to lower the fuel cell cost. Electrocatalysis in Fuel Cells: A Non and Low Platinum Approach is a comprehensive book summarizing recent advan...

Consumer electronics (CE) devices, providing multimedia entertainment and enabling communication, have become ubiquitous in daily life. An important challenge for the modern CE industry is the design of user interfaces for CE products that enable natural interactions that are convenient, intuitive and fun. As many CE products are supplied with microphones and cameras, the exploitation of both audio and visual information for interactive multim...
