This book systematically presents a use-wear analysis of quartzite stone artifacts from the Chinese Paleolithic archaeological record. It provides raw data and images from experimental and archaeological studies, building a comprehensive reference for international archaeologists to understand lithic reduction technology and utilization of quartzite tools by prehistorical humans, and offers an in-depth interpretation of human adaptative strategies and behavior patterns. In addition, this b...

What does it mean to a family when parents go abroad for economic gains while leaving their children behind? How do they maintain a family when living in different areas, separated for years?

Nonlinear Estimation and Control of Automotive Drivetrains discusses the control problems involved in automotive drivetrains, particularly in hydraulic Automatic Transmission (AT), Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) and Automated Manual Transmission (AMT). Challenging estimation and control problems, such as driveline torque estimation and gear shift control, are addressed by applying the latest nonlinear control theories, including constructive nonlinear control (Backstepping, Input-...
