The book focuses on the issues of secure fusion estimation and control in cyber-physical systems under cyber-attacks, such as privacy protection under eavesdropping attacks, security fusion estimation under DoS and FDI attacks, and model-based and model-free security control under cyber-attacks. The comprehensive and systematic treatment of security protection in cyber-physical systems is one of the main features of the book, which is particularly suitable for readers interested in learnin...

Authored by researchers and practitioners who build cutting-edge federated learning applications to solve real-world problems, this book covers the spectrum of federated learning technology from concepts and application scenarios to advanced algorithms and finally system implementation in three parts. It provides a comprehensive review and summary of federated learning technology, as well as presenting numerous novel federated learning algorithms which no other books have summarized. The w...

This book provides an important critique of mental health law and practice in China, with a focus on involuntary detention and treatment. The work explores China’s mental health law reform regarding treatment decision-making in the new era of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). It adopts a socio-legal approach, not only by undertaking a comprehensive desk-based analysis of the reforms introduced by China’s Mental Health Law (MHL) but also examining its impl...

This book systematically presents energy-efficient robust fusion estimation methods to achieve thorough and comprehensive results in the context of network-based fusion estimation. It summarizes recent findings on fusion estimation with communication constraints; several novel energy-efficient and robust design methods for dealing with energy constraints and network-induced uncertainties are presented, such as delays, packet losses, and asynchronous information... All the results are prese...

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...
