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...

This book offers a design-centered approach to quantum teleportation as well as in-depth analysis of various quantum teleportation schemes. Quantum teleportation, a vital component of practical quantum communication technologies, serves as a secure and reliable way to transmit confidential information. Quantum teleportation relies on the unique physical property of quantum superposition, accomplishing the remote transmission of information through unitary transformations and measurements o...

Coastal Acoustic Tomography begins with the specifics required for designing a Coastal Acoustic Tomography (CAT) experiment and operating the CAT system in coastal seas. Following sections discuss the procedure for data analyses and various application examples of CAT to coastal/shallow seas (obtained in various locations). These sections are broken down into four kinds of methods: horizontal-slice inversion, vertical-slice inversion, modal expansion method and data assimilation. This book...

Zeroing Neural NetworksDescribes the theoretical and practical aspects of finite-time ZNN methods for solving an array of computational problemsZeroing Neural Networks (ZNN) have become essential tools for solving discretized sensor-driven time-varying matrix problems in engineering, control theory, and on-chip applications for robots. Building on the original ZNN model, finite-time zeroing neural networks (FTZNN) enable efficient, accurate...

"学术乃天下公器，只有真实的历史，才能提供真实的教训。整个林彪事件，根据现有史料，已经大体上可以形成相对清晰的证据链的轮廓。如果把这些史料加以综合分析，还原事件基本真相的条件已经成熟。作者根据多年来掌握的史料，提出对林彪事件的前因后果、具体过程与历史影响的分析，并对社会上有关林彪事件的一些传闻，提出自己的点评与解释。为了方便阅读，将四万余字的全文，分成四部分：一，毛林关系的破裂； 二，祸起萧墙；三，逃离北戴河；四，离离原上草。建议读者收藏、下载后分段阅读。电脑阅读效果更佳。此文是多年来作者自认为写得最用心的文章。一位青年朋友来信告诉我，他一口气读到凌晨，这样的阅读体验，让作者倍受鼓舞，同时恳切期待读者的批评与建议。"-- 萧功秦

The emergence of fungicide resistance is a major challenge facing agriculture. With increasing regulation and costs limiting the development of new fungicides, farmers remain reliant on a relatively small group of working fungicides, many of which are decreasingly effective as major crop disease pathogens develop resistance to them.Understanding and minimising fungicide resistance provides an authoritative review on the wealth of research on understanding ...
