This book presents a comprehensive exploration of space debris from four essential perspectives: detection, early warning, protection, and mitigation. It begins with both ground-based and space-based detection technologies and systems, followed by an in-depth discussion on debris environment modeling, prediction principles, and early warning mechanisms. The book then addresses spacecraft shielding structures and protective materials, along with mission-level protection design. Finally, it ...

This book, written by experts in the field, is based on the latest research on the analysis and synthesis of switched time-delay systems. It covers the stability, filtering, fault detection and control problems, which are studied using the average dwell time approach. It presents both the continuous-time and discrete-time systems and provides useful insights and methods, as well as practical algorithms that can be considered in other complex systems, such as neuron networks and genetic reg...

Experts must be able to analyze and distinguish all materials, or combinations of materials, in use today-whether they be metals, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, or composites. To understand a material's structure, how that structure determines its properties, and how that material will subsequently work in technological applications, researche

"Exploring the World – Europe & America" presents in a bilingual English-Chinese edition, from a Chinese perspective, a synthetic profile of 9 countries (United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, United States, Canada, Mexico) in the fields of arts and culture, gastronomy or sports.

Seit Jahrtausenden prägt der Konfuzianismus das gesellschaftliche und ethische Denken in Ostasien. Doch welche Bedeutung haben die rituellen Praktiken wie Li (礼) und die Ahnenverehrung in der modernen Welt? In diesem Buch erkundet Zhang Hui-Fen die tief verwurzelten Traditionen des Konfuzianismus und zeigt, wie sie nicht nur die soziale Ordnung stabilisieren, sondern auch individuelle Selbstkultivierung und ein erfülltes Leben fördern. Anhand historischer Quellen, philosophischer Analysen ...

This book examines what constitutes power in rural China, its structure, how it is exercised, and its practical consequences. The author’s explorations are motivated by two key concerns. On one hand, theoretical questions about what rural political reforms in the first half of the 20th century did or did not accomplish continue to demand an adequate answer. On the other hand, any reasonable explanation for the recent surge in social conflicts in rural areas must begin with a sound understa...

Historical stories of China during WWII, records of heroic people and famous war heroes who are willing to sacrifice themselves for their home country.

Spatial Cognitive Engine Technology discusses the increase in user demand for satellite wireless communication services that has led to the increasing development of spectrum resources and the fixed spectrum allocation mode which makes the utilization rate of spectrum resources lower. As an intelligent spectrum sharing technology, cognitive radio has innovated the traditional spectrum management system and is one of the effective ways to solve the above-mentioned problems. As the core of s...
