This book discusses the natural classification and biosystematics of Triticeae and presents the most significant findings of comprehensive studies on the Triticeae, an important tribe in the grass family (Poaceae) that includes major crops such as wheat, barley, rye, and triticale, as well as various forage crops found in different genera. The five-volume Chinese version of Biosystematics of Triticeae was published in 1998, 2004, 2006, 2011, and 2013, and included the 30 genera, t...

This book explores the mechanisms and applications of acoustic metasurfaces in the hypersonic transition control area. It begins with an introduction of the concepts of acoustic metasurface and hypersonic boundary-layer stabilization, which also provides a full scene of the research progress in the past two decades. This book then discusses the modeling methods of various acoustic metasurfaces, including the regular and irregular ones, and describes how the models are to be used in theoret...

Provides a deep understanding of the mechanisms, analysis methods, stability criteria, and stabilization methods for converter-driven oscillations in power systemsThe extensive integration of converter-interfaced resources into power systems has significantly increased the occurrences of converter-driven oscillations, posing a serious new challenge to power system stability over the past decade. Stability Analysis of Converter-Rich Power Grids offers a com...

This book discusses HVDC grids based on multi-terminal voltage-source converters (VSC), which is suitable for the connection of offshore wind farms and a possible solution for a continent wide overlay grid. HVDC Grids: For Offshore and Supergrid of the Future begins by introducing and analyzing the motivations and energy policy drives for developing offshore grids and the European Supergrid. HVDC transmission technology and offshore equipment are described in the second part of th...
