This book, based on the Chinese dream and its basic principles, global significance, path of implementation and practical requirements, systemically explains China’s Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy. The Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy is the strategic concept of the Communist Party of contemporary China. In the coming five and even the fifty years, the economic and social development of the Chinese society will be centering on it. Comprehensively constructing a moderately prosperou...

This book focuses on the following three topics in the theory of boundary value problems of nonlinear second order elliptic partial differential equations and systems: (i) eigenvalue problem, (ii) upper and lower solutions method, (iii) topological degree method, and deals with the existence of solutions, more specifically non-constant positive solutions, as well as the uniqueness, stability and asymptotic behavior of such solutions.While not all-encompassing, these topics represen...

The spatial-temporal cooperative guidance problem for multiple flight vehicles has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its potential benefits in both military and civil fields. This book provides a concise but holistic introduction to this practical problem and presents a summative collection of the latest solutions to the concerned challenges, thereby providing some theoretical support for enhancing the synergism and applicability of cooperative guidance for multiple fli...

The parabolic partial differential equations model one of the most important processes in the real-world: diffusion. Whether it is the diffusion of energy in space-time, the diffusion of species in ecology, the diffusion of chemicals in biochemical processes, or the diffusion of information in social networks, diffusion processes are ubiquitous and crucial in the physical and natural world as well as our everyday lives.This book is self-contained and covers key topics such as the L...

Grid-based Nonlinear Estimation and its Applications presents new Bayesian nonlinear estimation techniques developed in the last two decades. Grid-based estimation techniques are based on efficient and precise numerical integration rules to improve performance of the traditional Kalman filtering based estimation for nonlinear and uncertainty dynamic systems. The unscented Kalman filter, Gauss-Hermite quadrature filter, cubature Kalman filter, sparse-grid quadrature filter, and man...

China in the Era of Social Media discusses how social media is changing the world in an unprecedented way through speed, scope, and depth. In the last decade or so, social media in China has witnessed the most explosive growth in the world. Being the most populous nation in the world, it has the most social media users in the world as well. This book examines the current situation and unique characteristics of Chinese social media, the significance of social media in the country’s...

Car electronics and digital processing technology have been used to improve the efficiency and performance of engines for decades, yet the main focus is still on static or pseudo-static mode, while the engines loaded in the road vehicles are not always operated at static mode. This book describes the behavior of engine dynamics operated at transient mode as a dynamical system, and uses advanced control theory to design a real-time control strategy that can be used to improve efficiency and...

This volume examines concepts of central planning, a cornerstone of political economy in Soviet-type societies. It revolves around the theory of “optimal planning” which promised a profound modernization of Stalinist-style verbal planning. Encouraged by cybernetic dreams in the 1950s and supporting the strategic goals of communist leaders in the Cold War, optimal planners offered the ruling elites a panacea for the recurrent crises of the planned economy. Simultaneously, their planning pro...

Growing Up in Xin Jiang is a long epic from Xinjiang writer Ju Li that recounts stories from southern Xinjiang. It is a key literary project supported by the Aksu Regional Federation of Literary and Art Circles. The novel depicts the story of the "second generation of Xinjiang" born in the oases of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in the 1960s-1970s growing up with their fathers' generation. It portrays the passionate era of two generations dedicating themselves to defending ...

Fundamental guidance—including concepts, models, and methodology—for better understanding the dynamic behavior of materials and for designing for objects and structures under impact or intensive dynamic loadingThis book introduces readers to the dynamic response of structures with important emphasis on the material behavior under dynamic loadings. It utilizes theoretical modelling and analytical methods in order to provide readers with insight into the various phen...

Der Autor des Buches untersucht die Bedeutung von «Made in China» als geographische Herkunftsangabe im Rahmen des deutschen Rechts. Im Hinblick auf den Kennzeichenschutz für die geographischen Herkunftsangaben im deutschen Recht wird erörtert, welche rechtlichen Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten «Made in China» hat, um sich von dem traditionellen Imageproblem in Deutschland zu befreien.
