Six Records of a Floating Life is an autobiography by Shen Fu who lived in Changzhou during the Qing dynasty. The four known "records" are "Wedded Bliss", "The Little Pleasures of Life", "Sorrow" and "The Joys of Travel". Two further chapters are missing: "A History of Life at Chungsha" and "The Way of Living".沈复，字三白，清苏州(今江苏省吴县)人。生於乾隆二十八年 (西元1763年)卒年不详。但据其所著《浮生六记》中，所记事终於嘉庆十二年(西元1807年)秋，由是推之，他的去世必在这年以后。沈复的性格爽直，落拓不羁，不事科举，不慕宦仕宦，以行商、画客、幕僚、名士终身。他的太太陈芸，字淑珍，跟他同岁，颖慧能诗文，才思隽秀。他们伉俪情笃，...

This book presents a China-specific analytical framework for assessing the impact of green trade barriers on the green transformation of the manufacturing sector. As the “greening” trend in trade policies gains momentum, research that addresses China’s unique institutional context remains limited. From the unique perspectives of enterprise heterogeneity and differentiated green barriers, this study develops a comprehensive framework that integrates characteristic facts, theoretical mechani...

This book focuses on the basic theories and key technologies for robotic vision. The book features an in-depth demonstration of system parameter calibration, three-dimensional vision measurement, object pose estimation, tracking control strategies, and multi-sensor fusion methods, accompanied by robotic guidance solutions in various applications. The contributed work can help promote the development and application of robotic guidance for autonomous navigation, grasping and manipulation ta...

This book highlights state-of-the-art in III-nitrides-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

Important topics including the structures of chips, device reliability and measurements and the advances in mini and micro LEDs are also discussed. The book is completed wit...

This book introduces high power semiconductor laser packaging design. The challenges of the design and various packaging and testing techniques are detailed by the authors. New technologies and current applications are described in detail.

六朝或謂魏晉南北朝，即北朝六朝：魏、晉、後魏、北齊、北周、隋，及南朝六朝：東吳、東晉、宋、齊、梁、陳。從公元二二零年至公元五八八年，共約三百六十八年。在這期間各方英雄豪傑，紛紛爭霸，逐鹿中原。群雄對峙、分裂、戰火紛飛。國祚有的都非常短暫。例如，北周只有短短二十四年。整個六朝時期，社會動盪頻繁。烽煙四起。所以一般都認為六朝玉雕應是鳳毛麟角，很是稀少。偶爾有機緣收入一件，真是欣喜若狂。文物出版品中的古玉部分，六朝古玉尚付闕如。即使有機會面對六朝古玉時，也會有難以確認之感。畢竟缺乏比較及對照組。在收集過程中，主要的參考書籍為《中華文明傳真．魏晉南北朝》（劉煒主編，羅宗真著，商務印書館（香港）出版）。及《中華圖案五千年第五輯．魏晉南北朝》（美工科技公司出版）。以既有確定之出土文物的資料，來作為判斷所接觸之古玉是否為六朝古玉。自己摸索前進，而非倚靠博物館或其他典藏機構，因為這些地方，也都幾乎沒有六朝的玉器或文獻資料。例如，西魏黃玉板雕畫中的鳥獲，在對照西魏時期敦煌壁畫圖案之後，乃獲得實質的印證。鳥獲的圖像只有在六朝西魏時期才出現。在黃玉板雕畫中出現鳥獲圖像，即可歸之於...

Integrated circuits were developed following Moore’s law. Moore’s law predicts that the degree of microprocessor integration would double every 18 months in DRAM. However, as the size of circuit elements approaches its physical limit, the optical method used in manufacturing 16 nm-node chips is also approaching a limit. Although the scaling of microelectronic circuit elements still follows Moore’s law, the unit density of power consumption will become unacceptable. Therefore, on the one ha...

State–society relations and governance are closely related areas of study and have become important topics in the social sciences in the past decades, not only in developed countries but also in the developing world. In China, state-society relations have been changing in the new era of reform and opening, and governance has become a central concern in policy practice and in academia. In this wide-ranging collection of essays, written by scholars from both inside and outside China, the con...

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research progress in addressing the challenges faced by the support for aging population. It covers a broad spectrum of technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), that are pivotal in supporting older people in their daily lives. The book delves into various domains such as human activity recognition, indoor localization, cognitive activity recognition, and AI-empowered health and identity ...

How can machines truly “see” and understand the three-dimensional world around them? This book takes readers to the frontier of 3D data analysis, offering a compelling exploration of how deep learning transforms raw point clouds into structured, actionable insights across robotics, autonomous driving, architecture, and beyond.Rather than providing surface-level explanations, this book presents the technical and conceptual foundations of point cloud understa...

Algae are sunlight-driven cell factories, and can efficiently absorb CO2 and convert light energy to chemical energy such as lipid, starch and other carbohydrates and release O2. Algal feedstock is a promising resource for bioproduct production, given its high photosynthetic efficiency for producing biomass compared to conventional crops. Microalgae can be used for flue-gas and wastewater bioremediation. This book highlights recent breakthroughs in the multidisciplinary areas of algal biot...

Advanced nanostructured materials such as organic and inorganic micro/nanostructures are excellent building blocks for electronics, optoelectronics, sensing, and photovoltaics because of their high-crystallinity, long aspect-ratio, high surface-to-volume ratio, and low dimensionality. However, their assembly over large areas and integration in functional circuits are a matter of intensive investigation. This Element provides detailed description of various technologies to realize micro/nan...
