Energiewende, Mobilitätswende, Kohleausstieg: Klimawandel und CO2-Emissionen werden in Deutschland heftiger diskutiert denn je – auch mit Blick auf Globalität und internationale Zusammenarbeit. Der vorliegende Sammelband gewährt originären Einblick in die in China dazu stattfindende Debatte. Grundlage ist dabei das chinesische Forschungsprojekt Analyse der Pfade der Treibhausgasemissionen wichtiger Staaten und Chinas, Scheitelpunktforschung und Kosten-Nutzen-Analyse von Emissionsminderung....

Professor Xihua Cao (1920–2005) was a leading scholar at East China Normal University (ECNU) and a famous algebraist in China. His contribution to the Chinese academic circle is particularly the formation of a world-renowned 'ECNU School' in algebra, covering research areas include algebraic groups, quantum groups, algebraic geometry, Lie algebra, algebraic number theory, representation theory and other hot fields. In January 2020, in order to commemorate Professor Xihua Cao's centenary bi...

Ironsands are a type of abundant, easily mined, and cost-effective coastal sand ore. This book explores various aspects of ironsands, including their mineral properties, milling, magnetic separation, and pre-oxidation treatments. It also examines the impact of ironsands on the sintering and pelletizing processes, as well as their influence on the quality of sinter and pelletized ore. Additionally, the book addresses the application of ironsands in gas-based direct reduction processes and h...

Subpixel mapping is a technology that generates a fine resolution land cover map from coarse resolution fractional images by predicting the spatial locations of different land cover classes at the subpixel scale. This book provides readers with a complete overview of subpixel image processing methods, basic principles, and different subpixel mapping techniques based on single or multi-shift remote sensing images. Step-by-step procedures, experimental contents, and result analyses are expla...

This book addresses the fundamental theory and key technologies of narrowband and broadband mobile communication systems specifically for railways. It describes novel relaying schemes that meet the different design criteria for railways and discusses the applications of signal classification techniques as well as offline resource scheduling as a way of advancing rail practice. Further, it introduces Novel Long Term Evolution for Railway (LTE-R) network architecture, the Quality of Service ...

Drawing on interdisciplinary research, as well as the experiences of parents of multilingual children, this book walks parents through the multilingual reading and writing process from infancy to adolescence. It identifies essential skills at each developmental stage and proposes effective strategies that facilitate multiliteracy, in particular, heritage-language literacy development in the home environment.

The Design of Chiral Metamaterials and Metasurfaces covers the theoretical and experimental study of the properties of chiral metamaterials (composite media that can be engineered to exhibit unique electromagnetic properties), metasurfaces, and helix-structured systems. This book also focuses on the practical applications of the physical properties and the phenomena that are characteristic of chiral metamaterials, including electromagnetic signal polarization conversion, selection, and ele...

Die Implantation im atrophischen posterioren Oberkiefer stellt eine der schwierigsten implantologischen Indikationen dar. Eines der Schlüsselverfahren ist hierbei die Augmentation des Kieferhöhlenbodens. Im Mittelpunkt dieses Buches zur Sinusbodenaugmentation steht die systematische Evaluation der jeweiligen klinischen Situation im Hinblick auf den Schwierigkeitsgrad des chirurgischen Eingriffs. Mit ihrer Hilfe lässt sich für jede Ausgangssituation das geeignete Vorgehen zur Sinusbodenaugm...

This book is based on an eleven-year observation of two children who were simultaneously exposed to three languages from birth. It tells the story of two parents from different cultural, linguistic, and ethnic-racial backgrounds who joined to raise their two children with their heritage languages outside their native countries. It also tells the children’s story and the way they negotiated three cultures and languages and developed a trilingual identity. It sheds light on how parental support...
