This book adopts Durkheim’s legal perspective to treat law as a symbol of social solidarities to examine Chinese society.The work analyzes changes in the nature of social solidarity from observing changes in laws, thus drawing together western socio-legal theory and distinctive Chinese conditions. It draws on Durkheim’s theoretical framework and methodology to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the role of law using theories of others such as Habermas and by taking into ...

Reforming Communism, Refusing Capitalism: The Rise and Fall of the Concept of "Socialist Market" focuses on the concept of “socialist market,: a cornerstone of political economy in Soviet-type societies undergoing economic reforms from the 1950s onward. Encouraged by the success of non-capitalist mixed economies, market reformers (also called 'market socialists') offered the communist ruling elites a remedy for the persistent crises of the planned economy. Besides optimal planning...

Hans Boll-Johansen har tidligere udgivet bl.a. De franske og De franske og de danske, om forskelle mellem dansk og fransk levevis, og Ved bordet, om madkultur.Nu er det pengene, det gælder. Et stort, velskrevet essay om penge, om brug af penge, om den rolle penge spiller for os alle sammen.Forfatteren belyser sine pointer med eksempler fra historien, danmarkshistorien såvel som verdenshistorien, og ikke mindst fra litteraturens verden: Kirsten Thorup, Henrik Pontoppidan, Je...

General Airgap Field Modulation Theory for Electrical MachinesIntroducing a new theory for electrical machinesAir-gap magnetic field modulation phenomena have been widely observed in electrical machines. This book serves as the first English-language overview of these phenomena, as well as developing systematically for the first time a general theory by which to understand and research them. This theory not only serves to unify analysis of ...

This collection features four peer-reviewed reviews on phosphorus uptake and use in crops.The first chapter summarises the progress in research on root traits associated with phosphorus acquisition, including root morphology, architecture, biochemistry, colonisation by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and fine root endophytes. The chapter also reviews the recent advances in breeding programmes to improve phosphorus acquisition efficiency.The second chapter dis...

Since the end of the Cold War, the new Chinese leadership generation has had to promulgate new guiding principles for handling global diplomacy which acknowledges China's new position. Given the dramatic changes in the international system and its domestic economic success for the growing "China's rise" idea on the global stage, China in the 21st century faces a mixture of old and new challenges, including terrorism, hegemonism, and authoritarianism. While Deng Xiaooping combined Taoism, a...

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of stability, stabilization, and fault detection in networked control systems, with a focus on unmanned marine vehicles. It investigates the challenges of network-based control in areas like heading control, fault detection filter and controller design, dynamic positioning, and cooperative target tracking. Communication networks in control systems can induce delays and dropouts, so the book presents the importance of stability analysis, stabilize...

This book reports on the latest advances in the study of Networked Control Systems (NCSs). It highlights novel research concepts on NCSs; the analysis and synthesis of NCSs with special attention to their networked character; self- and event-triggered communication schemes for conserving limited network resources; and communication and control co-design for improving the efficiency of NCSs. The book will be of interest to university researchers, control and network engineers, and graduate ...

This book provides the readers with an interdisciplinary perspective on communication in the diffuse boundaries that also demonstrates the diversity and inclusion for presenting wide range and rapid changes in contents, and the authors use “smart” as the guiding principle while indicate “communication” has been defined as a core feature. Appropriately, the book is divided into eight major sections. As always, the inevitable result of upgrading and constant iterations of developing new comm...

PENGE OG POSITIONER skildrer mennesker og magtforhold i Danmark, der ikke kontrolleres af staten og det offentlige. Det private Danmark domineres af store virksomhedskoncerner, storbanker og forsikringsselskaber, som alle forsøger at påvirke samfundsudviklingen i deres retning.I bogen analyserer Hans Edvard Teglers magtforholdene inden for landbrug, industri, handel og transport. På baggrund af præcise rapporter og oplysninger forsøger han at besvare spørgsmålene om, hvem der egent...

Comprehensive review of key topics in root science, including root architecture, root growth regulators, root anatomy and nutrient acquisitionCoverage of root response to both biotic and abiotic variablesDiscusses the range of techniques to optimize root function, from phenotyping to identify desirable root traits and exploiting the genetics of root traits to the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM)

This book gives a concise and comprehensive overview of non-cooperative target tracking, fusion and control. Focusing on algorithms rather than theories for non-cooperative targets including air and space-borne targets, this work explores a number of advanced techniques, including Gaussian mixture cardinalized probability hypothesis density (CPHD) filter, optimization on manifold, construction of filter banks and tight frames, structured sparse representation, and others. Containing a vari...
