This book will employ physical modeling and mathematical derivation to develop an analytical theory for electromagnetic metasurface, which aims to deepen physical mechanisms and lays a solid theoretical foundation for further research on metasurfaces. Firstly, the book presents the general description of metasurface boundary conditions and key calculation methods, Secondly, the book develops the network transmission theory for multi-layer metasurface structures, yielding mathematical model...

This book introduces a cutting-edge hybrid modeling framework that integrates both knowledge-based and data-driven techniques to tackle the challenges faced by the simulation of intelligent combat systems.Simulation has long been the primary method for evaluating the effectiveness of combat systems, often through the creation of virtual test environments. However, the increasing complexity and dynamic nature of modern battlefield environments present significant challenges for trad...

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the transformative trajectory undertaken by Chinese domestic enterprises, with a particular focus on Geely Automobile. Comprising five chapters and totaling 13 sections, the study delves into Geely's remarkable progression from a state of catch-up to surpassing established competitors. The initial chapter chronicles Geely's entry into the automotive industry amidst resource and technological scarcity, shedding light on the strategies empl...

Written by a leading interdisciplinary research team of legal and legal history experts in China, this book not only offers profound insights for legal professionals, but also opens a...

In 1878, the first complete dinosaur skeleton was discovered in a coal mine in Bernissart, Belgium. Iguanodon, first described by Gideon Mantell on the basis of fragments discovered in England in 1824, was initially reconstructed as an iguana-like reptile or a heavily built, horned quadruped. However, the Bernissart skeleton changed all that. The animal was displayed in an upright posture similar to a kangaroo, and later with its tail off the ground like the dinosaur we know of today. Focu...

This book summarizes the basic achievements in the research field of serpentine nozzles, three-axis vectoring nozzles, and single expansion ramp nozzles, in order to provide theoretical basis and technical support for the application of special types of nozzles in aviation engines under different task requirements. It is based on the research results of the Jet Propulsion Theory and Engineering Research Institute of Northwestern Polytechnical University, combined with the latest research s...

The bioprotectants market was estimated to be worth $5.5 billion in 2022, with this figure set to rise to over $11 billion by 2027. With more than 1000 products on the market, a greater understanding of how individual species/strains function as bioprotection agents is required.Advances in bioprotection of plants against diseases considers recent advances in techniques used to identify and develop fungal and bacterial bioprotection agents, including Cl...

Reconstructing Resilient Communities after the Wenchuan Earthquake: Disaster Recovery in China looks at the changes in Chinese society following the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan from various perspectives ranging from reconstruction policy, mental care for disaster victims, tourism in disaster areas, ethnic minorities, and disaster prevention education. The Wenchuan Earthquake, which occurred three months prior to the Beijing Olympics, attracted worldwide attention in May of 2008. Fo...

Everyone is familiar with the amazing performance of a modern smartphone, powered by a billion-plus nanotransistors, each having an active region that is barely a few hundred atoms in length.These lecture notes are about a less appreciated by-product of the microelectronics revolution, namely the deeper understanding of current flow, and device operation that it has enabled, which forms the basis for a new approach to transport problems.The book assumes very little background beyond linear...

An authoritative examination of "Xi Jinping Thought"--now the official dogma of the Chinese Communist Party--that marshals Xi's personal words and writings to reveal his plan to make "the China Dream of national rejuvenation" a reality in the coming decades. Over the course of the last half dozen years, China's supreme leader Xi Jinping has made extraordinary changes which have profound implications not only for the Chinese people but nations throughout the world. Given ho...
