This book will employ physical modeling and mathematical derivation to develop an analytical theory for electromagnetic metasurface, which aims to deepen physical mechanisms and lays a solid theoretical foundation for further research on metasurfaces. Firstly, the book presents the general description of metasurface boundary conditions and key calculation methods, Secondly, the book develops the network transmission theory for multi-layer metasurface structures, yielding mathematical model...

The book "In the Mao Zedong era" is a memoir about the lives of the Chinese people, for better or worse - before and after the liberation in China, focusing on the period from 1949 to 1976. We follow the author's own life, looking back at the historical events of that period. She hopes that through this book, more people around the world will understand the true historical story of China during the Mao Zedong´s time.

This sixth volume of the book series applies finite injury priority method to R-calculi and obtain (in)completeness theorem for binary-valued, Post three-valued, B2^2-valued and L4-valued first-order logics, and extend the method to infinite injury priority method and 0"-method for default logic to produce pseudo-extensions of a default theory, corresponding to different R-calculi. Finite injury priority method and tree constructions are discussed in this book. This book offers a ...

Mixed-flow PumpsModeling, Simulation, and MeasurementsLearn to improve and optimize the design and operation of mixed-flow pumpsMixed-flow pumps have a huge range of applications in agriculture, hydroelectric power, and other industries that incorporate fluid transport. They are centrifugal pumps incorporating the characteristics of both axial and radial pumps to increase the flow rate and discharge pressure. Though...

Applications of R-calculus in logic of supersequents are also given.This book offers a rich blend of theory and practice. It is suitable for students, researchers an...

This book investigates the case of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) of People’s Republic of China, mapping the changing patterns of political-administrative relations affected by the sovereignty change and structural reforms. It identifies the conditions that account for the varied political-administrative relations resulting from these changes, and develops an analytical framework that integrates and adapts theories and models from Western contexts to explain varied political...
