The charisma of prophecy is found throughout the history of the global Pentecostal movement. Within the movement, prophecy is seen as the communication of an inspired, spontaneous revelation, bringing edification to the faith community. Despite its prevalence, academic research has mostly focused on the biblical-theological aspect, neglecting the actual contemporary practice. This book addresses this gap with a study on the practice of prophecy within the Assemblies of God of Singapore. Th...

This two-volume set provides a comprehensive study of fractional random vibration from the perspective of theory and practice. Volume I deals succinctly with the theories of fractional processes and fractional vibration systems.A major focus of fractional vibrations is the derivation of analytical expressions for the frequency transfer functions of seven classes of fractional vibrations using elementary functions. This is considered from the perspective of the functional form of li...

This two-volume set provides a comprehensive study of fractional random vibration from the perspective of theory and practice. Volume II provides the analytical expressions for the responses of seven classes of fractional vibration systems excited by six types of random processes.It examines the responses of seven classes of fractional vibrations driven by five fractional processes, namely, fractional Gaussian noise, generalized fractional Gaussian noise, fractional Brownian motion...

This sweeping historical drama transports readers to Ming Dynasty China, where love, betrayal, and cosmic justice intertwine. When Virtue Feng's wife is stolen by a wealthy merchant, their lives become entangled in a web of passion and revenge. From the pleasure houses of Hangzhou to the scholar's courtyards, follow their decades-long journey as they navigate adultery, murder, and ultimately redemption—proving that no deed, good or evil, escapes heaven's notice.

This monograph aims to provide theoretical and technical support for construction safety risk assessment in the construction of urban underground large space, since high construction risks and safety accidents frequently occurs in the current development of complex underground spaces in urban areas. The author's team completes the statistical analysis on a large number of typical engineering instances and related accident cases, and proposes the definition of "urban underground large space...

This book collects selected papers of the 24th IFToMM China International Conference on Mechanism and Machine Science and Engineering (CCMMS 2024). CCMMS was initiated in 1982, and it is the most important forum held in China for exchange of research ideas, presentation of technical and scientific achievements, and discussion of future directions in the field of mechanism and machine science. The topics include theoretical and computational kinematics, dynamics and control, engines and tra...

The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ship's Ballast Water and Sediments mandates ships undertake ballast water treatment to reduce, remove or kill organisms of concern before being allowed to discharge their water. This book introduces technologies and devices that are used for the analysis of treated ballast water. Emphasis is placed on the separation, manipulation, detection, counting, and sizing of microalgae in a microfluidic chip which shows great potential f...
