This book contains mechanism analysis and synthesis.In mechanism analysis, a mobility methodology is first systematically presented. This methodology, based on the author's screw theory, proposed in 1997, of which the generality and validity was only proved recently, is a very complex issue, researched by various scientists over the last 150 years. The principle of kinematic influence coefficient and its latest developments are described. This principle is suitable for kinematic an...

This book presents comparative design as an approach to the conceptual design of structures. Primarily focusing on reasonable structural performance, sustainable development and architectural aesthetics, it features detailed studies of structural performance through the composition and de-composition of these elements for a variety of structures, such as high-rise buildings, long-span crossings and spatial structures. The latter part of the book addresses the theoretical basis and practica...

Seit über zweitausend Jahren prägt die Lehre des Konfuzius das Denken und die Gesellschaften Ostasiens. Doch was macht seine Philosophie so zeitlos und wirkungsvoll? Dieses Buch nimmt den Leser mit auf eine faszinierende Reise zu den Grundlagen der konfuzianischen Weltordnung und beleuchtet die zentrale Rolle von Li, den Riten und Zeremonien, sowie der Ahnenverehrung als Weg zur Harmonie zwischen Himmel, Erde und Mensch. Huang Zhen zeigt, wie Konfuzius eine universelle Ordnung schuf, die n...

The years 2021 to 2030 have been designated as "The United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration". Ecological restoration and biodiversity conservation efforts face unprecedented challenges, especially in developing countries and areas, such as the Hindu Kush-Himalayan (HKH) region. This huge HKH region, which includes areas in eight separate countries (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, India, China, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Bhutan), is a biodiversity hotspot with a vast array of ecosystems, ...

This is the first English book talking about the Three Gorges Project Eco-Environmental Monitoring System (TGPEEMS). It presents lessons learned in construction of large dam projects at home and abroad in this field, identifies existing problems before suggesting a scientific improvement plan. and, most importantly, it studies modification of the TGPEEMS to adapt it to the changing situation after the impoundment of the reservoir, and provides an essential overview of measures and progress...
