This book begins by exploring the fundamental concepts of dynamical systems and machine learning modeling, elucidating the workflow of these two modeling approaches. While primarily tailored as an introductory textbook for both undergraduate and graduate students, its broader aim is to captivate the interest of seasoned ecologists and life scientists, beckoning them to explore the realm of modeling. The introduction and development of each section adhere to a practical problem-driven appro...

Mathematical Methods in Data Science covers a broad range of mathematical tools used in data science, including calculus, linear algebra, optimization, network analysis, probability and differential equations. Based on the authors' recently published and previously unpublished results, this book introduces a new approach based on network analysis to integrate big data into the framework of ordinary and partial differential equations for dataanalysis and prediction. With data science being ...

Embedding climate resilient development principles in planning, urban design, and architecture means ensuring that transformation of the built environment helps achieve carbon neutrality, effective adaptation, and well-being for people and nature. Planners, urban designers, and architects are called to bridge the domains of research and practice and evolve their agency and capacity, developing methods and tools consistent across spatial scales to ensure the convergence of outcomes towards ...

This book details the prevention and control of coal fire disasters. It mainly describes the occurrence and evolution mechanism of coal fire, the characteristic parameters and information recognition of coal fire and briefly introduces the detection principle, characteristics and equipment of current coal fire detection technology. Through in-depth analysis of the principle of spontaneous combustion of coal, readers can understand how underground coal fire is generated and what factors wil...

发明不能当饭吃，要把发明变成饭，就要申请专利，获得保护。申请专利可以自己申请，也可以请专利律师事务所代理申请。请律师代理要花一大笔代理费，自己申请则便宜许多。原先中国个人申请实用新型专利，申请费经80%减免后才60元人民币，批准下来的批准费也才200多元。这些年涨了一些，也涨得不多。我一开始时是自己写专利档报到专利局，可连着两年都被驳回。我找到专利报社的一位朋友请教，他看了我的档说，你写的是散文，不是专利档，专利档是特殊的法律档，要有特殊的术语和格式，附图也有专门的要求。于是我不得不花2000多元人民币请了一家律师所代为申请。不到一年，我的第一项专利“多功能自行车锁”获得了批准。这之后，我细心研究该项专利档的写作手法和附图的画法，半年后，终于有所领悟，于是照葫芦画瓢，报出了几项我自己写的专利。差不多每份专利都得到专利局的回函，提出一些要修改的地方，并建议我找专业律师代理。可我矢志不移，仍旧自己修改，修改完再报。不知看了多少书，请教了多少人，尤其是一位建材专利事务所的老前辈曾给予了我多多的指教，终于，我的一系列专利申请接连过关，获得了批准证书。后来的申请就越写越好，专利局返回...

The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Applied Linguistics is written for those wanting to acquire comprehensive knowledge of China, the diaspora and the Sino-sphere communities through Chinese language.It examines how Chinese language is used in different contexts, and how the use of Chinese language affects culture, society, expression of self and persuasion of others; as well as how neurophysiological aspects of language disorder affect how we function and how the advance of technolo...

This book investigates in detail the generalized principle of the pattern multiplication (GPPM) and its application to new phased array with high performances. It introduces the generalized element factor (GEF) to small aperture with multi-modes. Based on the GEF, the GPPM can be used to construct the wide-angle scanning array with the dual-port phase mode antenna. Further, a dual-port phase mode SSPPs antenna is proposed to scan in 3D free space. It is extended to two kinds of 1D arrays w...

This book investigates in detail some new spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) structures and their applications to antenna. It introduces the working principle and radiation characteristics of directional antenna, omnidirectional antenna, reconfigurable antenna and phase-mode antenna based on SSPPs structure. Especially, the irregular SSPPs structure, such as T-shaped and m-shaped SSPPs structures, is introduced to low-profile end-fire antenna with vertical polarization; the rotated S...
