Value chain trade has challenged economic implications of conventional trade statistics and transformed bilateral trade relationships into multilaterals. Conventional trade statistics exaggerate trade volumes and bilateral trade imbalances. It is imperative to measure trade in value-added and examine trade relations in the context of global value chains. This book is a collection of research papers on new approaches to measure trade in value a...

With the increasing interest in holography for 3D imaging applications, there is a need to develop and use hologram compression techniques for the efficient storage and transmission of holographic data. This book gives a broad overview of the state-of-the-art techniques for the efficient compression and representation of digital holographic data, addressing both still and moving data sequences.

PEDOT is the only conducting polymer that is commercially produced on a large-scale...The properties of PEDOT depend on counterions, which led to the development of PEDOT:PSS, or poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate), dispersions, which is the basic form of the commercial product...... From PEDOT: principles and applications of an intrinsically conductive polymer, by Andreas Elschner et al.. CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group...

With the widespread application of artificial insemination (AI) in the pig industry, it is importantfor boars to produce excellent semen because of the high boar-to-sow ratio when using AImating. In addition, the pig is a good animal model for human disease. The genetic study of boarsperm quality can afford referenced information for human fertility research. We performed agenome-wide scan in a White Duroc × Erhualian three-generation resource...

Omar is about a kindergarten student that has autism. He talks about what he does at school, what he enjoys eating, and other stuff.

This collection seeks to put contemporary China-Africa relations in critical, comparative context and in doing so, it will go beyond descriptions of inter-regional trade and investment, large- and small-scale sectors, to ask whether structural change is underway.

Multi-physics and multi-phase flow models for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) are developed in this book. The models represent different mathematical approaches for model development based on PEMFCs, which fully couple majority of physical and electrochemical processes occurred during PEMFC operation, and the models are developed from simple to complex, from ideal assumption to practical conditions. Comprehensive water transport m...

In recent years, psychologists and economists have increasingly realized that emotion plays an important role in the decision-making process. This book is interesting to read in that it provides an opportunity to explore how and why different emotional experiences influence the way individuals reach their decisions and their decision outcomes. The author also explained how and why older people reach their decisions differently from their young...

This book studies two optimization problems, maximum satisfiability and planing of satisfiability. The maximum satisfiability problem (max-SAT) is the optimization counterpart of the satisfiability problem (SAT). The goal of max-SAT is to maximize the number of clauses satisfied. planning as satisfiability is a class of planning aiming to achieve a plan with optimal resource, cost, or makespan by using the SAT approach. We present a mix- SAT f...

Includes nine essays that present various developments in the study of Chinese linguistic research using functional approaches. This volume discusses topics such as Chinese typology, word order variation, word formation, semantic change, cognition, discourse analysis, interface among syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, and grammaticalization.
