In the Gutter Warrens, at the base of a mountain she will never be allowed to climb, Meilin Yin sorts the garbage the powerful throw away.Dead spirit stones. Withered herbs. Broken talismans. For seven years she has survived on the refuse of Azure Peak Sect, the only scavenger who bothers to bring intact work to Old Mu's guild, the only one who notices that things others call worthless still remember what they used to be.Then she discovers something no one was supposed to f...

The little trash of the Exorcist Family had been packaged and given to someone else to be his wife.After he was deceived and humiliated.Married to his most hated enemy.Only a husband is good in this world.His family treated him like a root and his enemies treated him like a treasure.

This book provides systematical exhibitions of grabbing coordination opportunities for energy management in low-carbon power systems in terms of the transmission level, distribution level, and interactions with heterogeneous energy flows. Particularly, this book focuses on coordinated energy management for low-carbon power systems from a resource aggregation perspective which can be plug-and-play in practice with higher effectiveness. This book starts with introducing resource aggregation ...

This book breaks the boundaries of the single enterprise, proposing the symbiotic business model, and discussing business model design engineering as well as other new concepts, methods and ideas. Business models are not only dependent on business intuition, but also on systematic design and continuous upgrade. This book presents qualitative methods, such as the theory and principles of business model design; quantitative methods, for example the business-model based "Accounting Method"; a...

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) synthesize intracellular nano-sized minerals of magnetite and/or greigite magnetosomes for magnetic orientation. They play important roles in global iron cycling and sedimentary magnetism, and have a broad range of potential applications in both biotechnological and biomedical fields. However, because the majority of MTB in nature remain unculturable, our understanding of these specific bacteria remains fairly limited. This thesis describes the development of a...

Approaching Business Models from an Economic Perspective examines business model logic and explores the model from different aspects including definition, design, functionality, elements, and self-sustaining logic. It explains the essence and core elements of a business model and unlocks its mysteries, helping transform business model practices into an expedient set of theories that in turn facilitate application in real scenarios. The book explores the logic behind the six major elements ...

Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Toxicology and Environmental Health introduces the fundamental concepts and principles of machine learning and AI, providing clear explanations on applying these methods to toxicology and environmental health. The book delves into predictions of chemical ADMET properties, development of PBPK and QSAR models, toxicogenomic analysis, and the evaluation of high-throughput in vitro assays. It aims to guide readers in adapting machine learning and...

Integrated Energy Systems with a Carnot Battery: A Pathway to Low-Carbon Energy Systems explores Carnot battery technology and its integration into modern energy systems, demonstrating how it can efficiently store and convert energy. It presents optimization approaches of Carnot batteries, including various system layouts, thermal energy storage options, and round-trip efficiency improvements.Covering the modeling of integrated energy systems (IES), the book focuses on the...

This book mainly presents methods based on neural dynamics for the time-varying problems with applications, together with the corresponding theoretical analysis, simulative examples, and physical experiments. Based on these methods, their applications include motion planning of redundant manipulators, filter design, winner-take-all operation, multiple-input multiple-output system configuration, multi-linear tensor equation solving, and manipulability optimization are also presented. In thi...

The Routledge Handbook of the Sociopolitical Context of Language Learning is a compelling examination of how language education must adapt to our rapidly changing world. This book explores the need for a fresh perspective on language learning, moving beyond traditional methods to address the complexities of today’s global landscape. It delves into the impact of geopolitical shifts, cultural exchanges, and social justice issues on language education.The book offers a blend ...

This bookis an in-depth study of the ageing problem in China from a multidisciplinary perspective. For the first time in Chinese history, it systematically summarizes the development process, achievements and challenges of China from the year 2000 to 2020, and illustrates the exploration process of the theory and practice to actively address population ageing with Chinese characteristics.
