La Chine a engagé, depuis trente ans, la modernisation de son droit.Désormais ce droit existe et il est un droit hors normes.Consacré au droit des affaires, ce livre est conçu pour offrir aux lecteurs non seulement l’accès à la connaissance des règles de ce droit mais également les clefs nécessaires à la compréhension profonde du droit chinois.Ce livre, fruit de l’expérience d’auteurs praticiens et universitaires, s’adresse aux juristes, aux hommes et femmes d’affai...

This book presents, for the first time, data analytics for smart infrastructures. The authors draw on over a decade’s experience working with industry and demonstrating the capabilities of data analytics for infrastructure and asset management.The volume gives data-driven solutions to cover critical capabilities for infrastructure and asset management across three domains: 1) situation awareness 2) predictive analytics and 3) decision support. The reader will gain from various data...

Multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) and uncertain optimization problems (UOPs) which widely exist in real life are challengeable problems in the fields of decision making, system designing, and scheduling, amongst others. Decomposition exploits the ideas of ‘making things simple’ and ‘divide and conquer’ to transform a complex problem into a series of simple ones with the aim of reducing the computational complexity. In order to tackle the abovementioned two types of compl...

This book focuses on distributed event-triggered control of multi-agent systems, in which the event-triggering mechanism is utilized to reduce the communication frequencies in order to compensate for constrained network bandwidths, an aspect that poses significant challenges for distributed control design. The book summarizes the authors’ original, systematic contributions on scalability and robustness, two core issues in distributed event-triggered control. Specifically, the book presents...

This book systematically and comprehensively expounds the calculation theory, design method and engineering application of CWR turnout on bridges on high-speed railway. This book applies the concept of systems engineering and considers the vehicle-turnout-bridge as a coupled system. It combines static analysis, dynamic simulation, laboratory tests, and field tests, integrating theoretical research with practical engineering applications. The book solves critical technical puzzles such as c...

How do firms jointly develop open information infrastructures? To answer this question, this book draws on the results of a longitudinal research project covering the development of the pharmaceutical distribution industry in China from 2004 to 2012, focusing on the emergence and subsequent evolution of industry-wide information infrastructures. How do firms delimit areas of proprietary innovation in open innovation projects? How do firms coordinate, initiate, negotiate and implement the d...

This book systematically introduces the nonlinear adiabatic evolution theory of quantum many-body systems. The nonlinearity stems from a mean-field treatment of the interactions between particles, and the adiabatic dynamics of the system can be accurately described by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The key points in this book include the adiabatic condition and adiabatic invariant for nonlinear system; the adiabatic nonlinear Berry phase; and the exotic virtual magnetic field, which g...

In The Politics of Affective Relations, editors Daniel Bell and Hahm Chaihark refine our understanding of the East Asian conception of the self by examining how that conception was formulated, reproduced, and utilized throughout history. Sparked by a strong dissatisfaction with the state over many discourses regarding East Asian politics, this volume moves beyond the simplistic exchange of polemics regarding "Asian Values" and reaches a more nuanced understanding of "relationality...

Spatial Autocorrelation: A Fundamental Property of Geospatial Phenomena offers a state-of-the-art exploration of one of the most pivotal spatial analysis concepts. Beginning with foundational theories and clear definitions, it sets out the concepts and basic theory of spatial autocorrelation through elaborated conceptualizations and practical examples. In-depth case studies reveal the pervasive influence of spatial patterns in scientific inquiry while anticipating emerging research and inn...

This volume theorizes the concept of citizenship in contemporary China by probing into the formation of Chinese citizenship and synthesizing the practices of citizenship by different social groups. The first section, “Imagining Chinese Citizenship,” analyses how Chinese citizenship was first imagined by means of translation and education at the beginning of the twentieth century. The Chinese citizenship was then compared with the concept of Western citizenship and that of other Asian count...
