This book discusses the intelligent optimization and control of complex metallurgical processes, including intelligent optimization and control of raw-material proportioning processes, coking process, and reheating furnaces; intelligent control of thermal state parameters in sintering processes; and intelligent decoupling control of gas collection and mixing-and-pressurization processes. The intelligent control and optimization methods presented were originally applied to complex metallurg...

拋開「宗親關係」的模糊論述，回歸帝國擴張的歷史脈絡，一解清代如何建構起臺灣的想像地理！一直到清代初期，中華帝國一直視臺灣為遠隔於海外的丸泥小島；但時間來到十九世紀末葉，臺灣卻已成為帝國眼中「不可分割」的一部分。在這兩百年間，大清帝國的人們對臺灣的印象到底歷經了怎樣的轉變？本書以清代所留下的殖民旅遊書寫、地誌圖像為中心，透過文人筆下對臺灣風土民情、自然景象，及原住民描寫的再現──如性別倒錯、種族論述、文化優劣等──探討這些文本在中華帝國的版圖擴張過程，以及族群差異的意識形態中所扮演的關鍵角色。並經由檢視此時代非西方式帝國勢力拓展及其殖民他者的政策，挑戰史學界過去對「殖民者」與「被殖民者」的既定觀念，勾勒出西方殖民論述與中國殖民論述之間的交會點，是英語世界近年來少見的重要臺灣文史論著。This book centers its argument around colonial travelers’ accounts and ethnological pictures from the...

在這些以單一族裔身分為常規，異族通婚被投以猜疑甚至敵意的社會裡，跨國,跨種族家庭要如何協商其身分認同？當今新的「雙族裔」時尚蔚為風潮，「歐亞混血」成為跨國資本主義體制的典範。混種主體的形象發揮隱喻作用，象徵全球化時代各種文化,語言和資本之間的交流日盛。然而回溯至一百多年前的時空，卻非如此。十九世紀後半，貿易,帝國擴張,傳教運動,全球勞工遷徙和海外留學，使中國與西方的接觸空前密切。縱橫交錯的跨國移動引發各種跨文化邂逅，從而產生跨種族家庭，然而這些家庭的故事多不見於世。在那段跨種族婚姻是禁忌，「歐亞混血」甚至為貶抑之詞的時期，他們如何掙扎著自我認同？本書闡述眾多這樣的歷程，以檢視在更早的全球化年代，各種關於種族與文化混融的觀念。這些觀念可分兩類：認為種族融合有害，衍生出雜種退化與畸變；相對地，認為異種交配符合優生學的想法，則衍生出雜種優勢和種族改良。

The problems in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) are not only novel and interesting but also deeply rooted in profound mathematical context. The team at the International Mathematical Olympiad Research Center at East China Normal University has compiled and studied problems from past IMOs, dividing them into four volumes based on the mathematical fields involved: algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics.In the combinatorics volume, the IMO combinatorics prob...

During the Tang dynasty (618–907), changes in political policies, the religious landscape, and gender relations opened the possibility for Daoist women to play an unprecedented role in religious and public life. Women, from imperial princesses to the daughters of commoner families, could be ordained as Daoist priestesses and become religious leaders, teachers, and practitioners in their own right. Some achieved remarkable accomplishments: one wrote and transmitted texts on meditation and i...

From environmental remediation to alternative fuels, this book explores the numerous important applications of photocatalysis. The book covers topics such as the photocatalytic processes in the treatment of water and air; the fundamentals of solar photocatalysis; the challenges involved in developing self-cleaning photocatalytic materials; photocatalytic hydrogen generation; photocatalysts in the synthesis of chemicals; and photocatalysis in food packaging and biomedical and medical applic...

In the second half of the nineteenth century, global labor migration, trade, and overseas study brought China and the United States into close contact, leading to new cross-cultural encounters that brought mixed-race families into being. Yet the stories of these families remain largely unknown. How did interracial families negotiate their identities within these societies when mixed-race marriage was taboo and "Eurasian" often a derisive term?In Eurasian, Emma Jinhua Teng ...

In After the Post–Cold War eminent Chinese cultural critic Dai Jinhua interrogates history, memory, and the future of China as a global economic power in relation to its socialist past, profoundly shaped by the Cold War. Drawing on Marxism, post-structuralism, psychoanalysis, and feminist theory, Dai examines recent Chinese films that erase the country’s socialist history to show how such erasure resignifies socialism’s past as failure and thus forecloses the imagining of a future...

This book presents a systematic empirical study of contemporary China's litigation case volume, judges’ workload, and how courts attempt to alleviate the problem of “high caseloads with insufficient personnel” through enhanced management practices.By comparing caseloads and judge numbers across Chinese, U.S., and Japanese court systems, it shows that contemporary Chinese courts are also compelled to confront the “case-judge imbalance.” Using nationwide survey data, the book indicat...

Dai Jinhua is one of contemporary China's most influential theoreticians and cultural critics. A feminist Marxist, her literary, film and TV commentary has, over the last decade, addressed an expanding audience in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.Cinema and Desire presents Dai Jinhau's best work to date. In it she examines the Orientalism that made Zhang Yimou the darling of international film festivals, establishes Huang Shuqin's Human, Woman, Demon as the People's Rep...

Combining the basic concepts of photocatalysis with the synthesis of new catalysts, reactor and reaction engineering, this book provides a comprehensive resource on the topic. The book introduces the fundamental aspects of photocatalysis including the role of surface chemistry and understanding the chemistry of photocatalytic processes before exploring the theory and experimental studies of charge carrier dynamics. Specific chapters then cover new materials for the degradation of organics;...
