This Element interrogates the complex role of gender in shaping the sociolinguistic variable of UPTALK within Hong Kong English, highlighting its interaction with other sociodemographic factors. Foregrounding gender as a central factor, the Element employs a robust array of methodologies to dissect how gender interacts with social factors, identities, and social types across a sample of sixteen participants. Findings unveil new perspectives on gender-dependent meanings of UPTALK, demonstra...

In the tradition of Amy Tan, an hilarious and bittersweet memoir of growing up different in a very eccentric but traditional Chinese-Tasmanian family.Warning: Not to be read by convent girls not wearing their gloves. 'Ching Chong Chinaman' girls taunted Helene Chung in her Catholic school playground. An Australian-born Chinese growing up in 1950s Hobart, Helene not only dealt with being different from her blonde-haired, blue-eyed classmates but suffered the shame of having divorced ...

This book discusses the essential properties of carbon nanotubes and 2D graphene systems. The book focuses on the fundamental excitation properties of a large range of graphene-related materials, presenting a new theoretical framework that couples electronic properties and e-e Coulomb interactions together in order to thoroughly explore Coulomb excitations and decay rates in carbon-nanotube-related systems. This book is aimed at researchers in nanomaterials and high-level students in physi...

This exceptional translation of the Tao Tê Ching by Chinese scholar Chung-yuan Chang reveals the true wisdom and beauty of this ancient Chinese text.Traditionally attributed to Taoist philosopher Lao Tzu, the Tao Tê Ching remains relevant worldwide today, more than two thousand years after it was written. This translation of the Taoist text, with Chang's accompanying commentaries, illuminates the real meaning of the Tao Tê Ching and makes this Chinese classic both accessible and re...

This comprehensive book delves into the fascinating world of quasiparticle properties of graphene-related materials. The authors thoroughly explore the intricate effects of intrinsic and extrinsic interactions on the material's properties, while unifying the single-particle and many-particle properties through the development of a theoretical framework. The book covers a wide range of research topics, including long-range Coulomb interactions, dynamic charge density waves, Friedel oscillat...

By integrating the philosophy and science of the East and West, I have been able to develop the Purposeful Exercise System, which consists of three programs. The three programs will help readers rebuild the fundamental focus in Anatomy and Kinesiology that may have been missed when they enthusiastically started practicing their chosen exercise or sports. With this new-found knowledge and awareness, readers will understand how to recruit the right muscle and improve proper alignment using t...

This book presents the first-principles calculations that can be used to determine the essential chemical and physical characteristics of cathode, electrolyte and anode materials in ion-based batteries. Methods for evaluating and analysing the first-principles results are discussed in detail, and the theoretical framework is illustrated for each system. This text is ideal as a reference for researchers and senior graduate students working on the theory and fundamental science of battery ma...

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 2025 International Workshop on Deidentification of Electronic Health Record Notes, IW-DMRN 2025, held in Taipei, Taiwan, during August 10, 2025.The 9 full papers were included in this were carefully reviewed and selected from 25 submissions. They focus on the foundational requirement for enabling the safe, scalable, and ethical secondary use of healthcare data. Clinical documentation and patient–clinician communications.

This volume is a post-conference publication of the 4th World Congress on Social Simulation (WCSS), with contents selected from among the 80 papers originally presented at the conference. WCSS is a biennial event, jointly organized by three scientific communities in computational social science, namely, the Pacific-Asian Association for Agent-Based Approach in Social Systems Sciences (PAAA), the European Social Simulation Association (ESSA), and the Computational Social Science Society of ...
