Intercultural Preparation in Higher Education critically examines the complexities of intercultural preparation, challenging reductionist, competence-based approaches and emphasising critical reflection, linguistic sensitivity and intersectional perspectives, which offer transformative insight.This concise yet comprehensive book draws on the author's extensive experience in preparing students and educators for diversity and intercultural engagement within Chinese and Finni...

Design Antennas for Modern Wireless Communications SystemsWritten by a global team of expert contributors, this book offers complete details on the wide range of antennas used in today's wireless communication networks. Coverage includes the most popular applications in WWAN (GSM, CDMA, and WCDMA), WLAN (Bluetooth and WiFi), WMAN (WiMAX), and WPAN (UWB and RFID).Antennas for Base Stations in Wireless Communications presents a full picture of modern...

This easy-to-read guide provides a concise introduction to the engineering background of modern communication systems, from mobile phones to data compression and storage. Background mathematics and specific engineering techniques are kept to a minimum so that only a basic knowledge of high-school mathematics is needed to understand the material covered. The authors begin with many practical applications in coding, including the repetition code, the Hamming code and the Huffman code. They t...

This book introduces the components and principles of the common ballast management systems. The working principles of different filtration, cleaning and sterilizing equipment are also introduced. The calculation norm of the construction design and the calculation method of simulation are described. Besides, different aspects of system management are analyzed. The principle of various detecting sensors, the hardware of control system and the design method of human–computer interface are re...

This unique book starts from the premise that students, scholars, and educators should be given access to a form of global education that is genuinely global. Using the notion of interculturality as change and exchange as a basis, the authors examine fifty discourse instruments (e.g. idioms, neologisms, slogans) related to what they call ‘Chinese stories of interculturality’. China, like other countries, has a rich and complex history of intercultural encounters and her engagement...

This book proposes a new method for working on the complex and polysemic notion of interculturality, aimed at scholars, students and educators who have an interest in enriching and challenging their own take on this somewhat controversial scientific notion. Multiple examples of observability made by the authors are provided to illustrate the method. The book helps readers to look at themselves as ‘producers’, ‘consumers’ and ‘promoters’ of selected knowledge of interculturality. This book ...

The IoT topology defines the way various components communicate with each other within a network. Topologies can vary greatly in terms of security, power consumption, cost, and complexity. Optimizing the IoT topology for different applications and requirements can help to boost the network’s performance and save costs. More importantly, optimizing the topology robustness can ensure security and prevent network failure at the foundation level. In this context, this book examines the optimiz...

This book urges readers to develop a radical capacity to unthink and rethink interculturality, through multiple, pluri-perspectival and honest dialogues between the authors, and their students. This book does not give interculturality a normative scaffolding but envisages it differently by identifying some of its polyphonic textures. China’s rich engagement with interculturality serves to support the importance of being curious about other ways of thinking about the notion beyond the ‘West...

This book presents a succinct and mathematically rigorous treatment of the main pillars of Shannon’s information theory, discussing the fundamental concepts and indispensable results of Shannon’s mathematical theory of communications. It includes five meticulously written core chapters (with accompanying problems), emphasizing the key topics of information measures; lossless and lossy data compression; channel coding; and joint source-channel coding for single-user (point-to-point) communi...

This commemorative volume honors the extraordinary legacy of Nobel Laureate and World Scientific author Professor C N Yang, one of the most influential physicists of the 20th century.Professor C N Yang's groundbreaking work reshaped modern Physics. He co-developed the Yang–Mills gauge theory, a foundation of the Standard Model, and shared the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics with Tsung-Dao Lee for their discovery of parity non-conservation. The Yang–Baxter equation further transformed r...

第152 页从最早的思想发展来看，人类认为一些重要的巧合是更高的哲学或神圣层面试图与人对话的迹象。在过去的三个世纪里，所有这一切都被新的科学倾向所抹去了。无法解释的事实被视为案件的后果。 任何想要将非凡事件解释为神圣信号的人都被嘲笑了。以同样的方式，未来的愿景被视为幻想，甚至是不平衡的迹象。 尽管事实上很多人都经历过这些非同寻常的事实。科学否认了人类思维可以与之相互作用的心理维度的存在。 根据共识，唯一存在的现实是物质对象。 然而，在20世纪80年代，量子物理学的实验表明宇宙的存在不仅仅是由物质组成的。 这个宇宙拥有一个能量和信息不受经典物理学典型的空间和时间限制的水平。这证实了人类历史中阐述的所有直觉。西方最着名的见解之一是希腊哲学家柏拉图所阐述的“世界之魂”的概念。最近，瑞士心理学家卡尔古斯塔夫荣格阐述了“集体无意识”的理论。本书避免调查过于专业的主题。作者清楚地伴随着读者理解形成单一现实的三个层面。第一级是物理级别，这是我们日常经验的一部分。第二个层次是，所描述的量子物理...
