This book presents a novel framework design for the next generation Marine Wireless Communication Networks (MWCNs). The authors first provide an overview of MWCNs, followed by a discussion of challenges in the design and development of MWCNs in support of a diversity of marine services such as real-time marine monitoring, offshore oil exploration, drilling, marine tourism and fishing. The authors then propose cross layer networking solutions to achieve a high performance modern MWCN that e...

謹以此書迴向給所有迷失在「宗教」與「思想」之間的人文本以德國存在主義學者海德格的Mitdasein來檢視泰耶與烏金噶瑪巴「同在」的真正意義，甚至是人類唯有在認知他人的存在與影響時，才能感知自身存在的真實性──雖然認知他人的存在與影響，但從未放棄「自我」的完整性──所以在先天上，個人其實先接受羣體究竟是一個甚麼樣的存在以及這個羣體的存在將如何決定自我的存在，「此在故彼在」的「即在」觀念也就形成了，然後「能所」就整個被融合進去，而「能所」彼此互證，則為「鏡像」。這個「自、眾」彼此「同在」是中文象形字「者」的內核義理。從「孔雀信」到「泰耶與烏金噶瑪巴的合體認證」，「本質先於存在」的現象幾經起落，但最後還是回歸「存在先於本質」的論證。這當然是因為「先驗存在」不易掌握，一為「俱起」，一為「時輪」；換句話說，泰耶與烏金噶瑪巴合體以後，兩者只能俱起，而且其作為鏡像而存在時，泰耶即烏金，烏金即泰耶，或泰耶因烏金的存在而存在、烏金因泰耶的存在而存在。這個為了逃避不同語境的尷尬就是《無何有之身》以小說處理「存在主義」論述的基本原因，因為泰耶噶瑪巴...

The problems in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) are not only novel and interesting but also deeply rooted in profound mathematical context. The team at the International Mathematical Olympiad Research Center at East China Normal University has compiled and studied problems from past IMOs, dividing them into four volumes based on the mathematical fields involved: algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics.In the geometry volume, the IMO geometry problems are o...

This volume theorizes the concept of citizenship in contemporary China by probing into the formation of Chinese citizenship and synthesizing the practices of citizenship by different social groups. The first section, “Imagining Chinese Citizenship,” analyses how Chinese citizenship was first imagined by means of translation and education at the beginning of the twentieth century. The Chinese citizenship was then compared with the concept of Western citizenship and that of other Asian count...

Gedichte, Zitate und kurze Texte verweben sich mit den Bildern zu einem vielschichtigen künstlerischen Ausdruck, in dem die Malerei den Schwerpunkt bildet.

在二十一世紀，要想將民初以來就飽受西方邏輯敘述影響的「中國文學」重置於「玄學」與「經學」之間，必須顛覆時下思想：首先將行之有年的「中國文學」解構開來，以掀起過分沉澱於中國社會的西方思想，逆溯「二分法」，使之停留於一個不能二分的層階；其次、將這個不能二分的內省沉澱於似是而非的語境，以變體的故事將真實的贈予(authentic giving or hospitality) 轉變為一個事實與「非事實」俱存的狀態。西方文學界將這種敘述方式統稱為「解構」(deconstruction)，並建議以特例來暴露、顛覆長久受各類型的「現象學、存在主義與結構主義」所捆縛的二元對峙，因此在文學上，這個特例必須具備尋找「創造性思想」的力度，而在哲學上，這個「解構」則必須直指「形而上思想」──迴盪於哲學與文學之間的文字就是希臘詮釋「宇宙秩序的根本原理」的logos，因其居於「三位一體」第二位，所以又有一個「理性」意義，居中調和與維繫「形而上思想與形而下敘述」。請上www.binmaulin.com交流。

謹以此書迴向給所有迷失在「宗教」與「思想」之間的人在超過五百年的夏瑪巴傳承裏，一度與黑寶冠的大寶法王相互認證的紅寶冠法王，一直都是噶瑪噶舉在吐蕃的精神主力，但是傳到第十世夏瑪仁波切的時候，一切都變了。第十世達賴喇嘛指控第十世夏瑪巴接受尼泊爾國王的賄賂或饋贈，洩露了吐蕃各派傳承的機密，背叛了信眾，使傳承蒙羞，於是夥同清廷的駐藏使臣終止了夏瑪巴的傳承，紅寶冠體系乃告終結，而夏瑪巴則以一個沒有傳承的身份傳承了三代。政治與宗教的迫害一直持續了兩百多年，直到一九六○年間，第十四世達賴喇嘛在第十六世噶瑪巴的要求下，終於答應了終結這項歷史性的陰謀，不論達賴喇嘛是基於流亡人士在印度團結的必要，還是其它原因，終止了兩百多年的紅寶冠傳承再一次在噶瑪噶舉承繼了精神的統領地位，信眾也再一次尊奉著他們的上師，在第十四世夏瑪巴的庇佑下，重新洗滌他們的身心靈，激起覺醒力量，廣發菩提心，但好景不常，第十四世夏瑪巴又因第十七世噶瑪巴的認證，重新捲入了歷史性的傳承災難。《懷疑與恩寵的故事》就是這麼一個夏瑪巴抗爭傳承再度受到威脅的故事，由一個被驅趕出廟的小沙彌娓娓...

謹以此書迴向給所有以「文學」來「繼善述志」的人三十九名「天門教派」成員在美國加州聖地牙哥郊區集體自殺的故事在二十五年後重新引起了公眾的注意。那天是一九九七年三月二十六日，海爾鮑普彗星在通過夜空之際，將派遣一架太空船承載那些願意離開地球到一個比較好的地方去，但是搭承太空船的成員必須先行將人身軀殼「中性化」，以提升精神品質到另一個層階，而且集體離開人身的鉅大氣場得與海爾鮑普彗星所發出的電磁波相感應。召集人計算了出來，這個跟外星人通訊的氣場，必須是「四十個人」的魂識所散發出來的一個宇宙之間的特殊訊號。「天門教派」成員對召集人所推算出來的「四十個人」集體魂識能夠突破時空侷限深信不疑，對魂識能夠感應海爾鮑普彗星太空船的連接「物質世界」與「意識世界」功能也深信不疑，因為魂識進入了「量子感應(quantum communication)」，「意識」自然就超越光速，而且產生「虛數(imaginary numbers)」，可以在「實數(real numbers)」的空間裏被運算，「物質世界」與「意識世界」在沒有速度的限制下乃層疊了起來。...

This book is devoted to the optimum design of the DCT in a hybrid AC/DC microgrid, which takes into account not only the influence of different inductors/capacitors values, but also numerous design goals (i.e., VCG, efficiency, stability and so on). This book examines the DCT's design problem in detail. It begins by reviewing existing DCTs in, the hybrid AC/DC microgrid and their design problems. Following that, this book proposes a family of DCT optimization design approaches to ensure th...
