This book mainly presents the state-of-the-art development in indoor sound environment. Not simply introducing the research on the acoustic environment or noise level of indoor building, the book considers the differences in the function of buildings and the perception of acoustic environment, as well as the relationship between sound quality and health and behavior. The book includes the multidisciplinary studies in architecture, acoustics, environmental science, psychology, sociology, an...

The book focuses on several skew-normal mixed effects models, and systematically explores statistical inference theories, methods, and applications of parameters of interest. This book is of academic value as it helps to establish a series of statistical inference theories and methods for skew-normal mixed effects models. On the applications side, it provides efficient methods and tools for practical data analysis in various fields including economics, finance, biology and medical science....

The book presents findings of anthropological studies conducted by researchers from Agricultural Technology Demonstration Center in a number of African countries, including Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Mozambique. The aim of these ethnological studies is to understand the Center’s experience in these countries as well as the way it works in terms of institutional arrangement, interaction between Chinese and local staff and technology transfer. A basic contention of the book is that in...

This volume presents the lecture notes of short courses given by three leading experts in mathematical logic at the 2010 and 2011 Asian Initiative for Infinity Logic Summer Schools. The major topics covered set theory and recursion theory, with particular emphasis on forcing, inner model theory and Turing degrees, offering a wide overview of ideas and techniques introduced in contemporary research in the field of mathematical logic.

In the mathematical practice, the Baire category method is a tool for establishing the existence of a rich array of generic structures. However, in mathematics, the Baire category method is also behind a number of fundamental results such as the Open Mapping Theorem or the Banach-Steinhaus Boundedness Principle. This volume brings the Baire category method to another level of sophistication via the internal version of the set-theoretic forcing technique. It is the first systematic account ...
