This book reports the latest results in the study of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) automatic target recognition (ATR) and focuses on the theory and methods of limited-data SAR ATR, and experimental verification, and many other aspects. In practical applications, due to the scarcity of targets, the difficulty of SAR image acquisition, and the difficulty of accurate labeling. It is impossible to obtain sufficient SAR images. Thus, it is one of the core issues of concern in the field of SAR ...

The TENG Guide to the Chinese Orchestra is a seminal guide to equip composers, scholars and music enthusiasts worldwide with the necessary knowledge to work with Chinese musical instruments. The INSTRUMENTATION section outlines the history, physical attributes and performance techniques of Chinese musical instruments in detail. It also includes practical scoring advice for composers and reference charts for fingerings and chords. The ORCHESTRATION section contains systematic analyses of sc...

This monograph provides a rare sociological analysis of China’s efforts to globalise its academic knowledge through translation and international publication. Centring on the Chinese Outbound Academic Translation Initiative (COATI), a major State-funded programme administered by the National Office for Philosophy and Social Sciences, it examines how academic knowledge is translated, negotiated, and institutionally positioned within global knowledge economies. A distinctive contribution of ...

As new porous materials, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been receiving an abundance of research interest in recent years. This book is the first comprehensive title to cover solid state NMR, 129Xe NMR and diffusion NMR methods that have been applied to solve the key scientific issues in the MOFs and COFs research like structural determination, examination of the local structures and host-guest interactions. Structural Information is crucial not ...

This book focuses on the solar sailing technique and investigates in detail its applications for deep-space explorations focusing on the Earth-Moon, Sun-Earth and Sun-planet systems. Solar sailing is an advanced and propellent-free form of low-thrust propulsion, and therefore, a perfect option for energy-demanding and long-duration space missions. This book covers the topics on non-Keplerian orbit designs, low-thrust station-keeping, and spacecraft formation flying using solar sailing from...

This volume is devoted to original research results and survey articles reviewing recent developments in reduction for stochastic PDEs with multiscale as well as application to science and technology, and to present some future research direction. This volume includes a dozen chapters by leading experts in the area, with a broad audience in mind. It should be accessible to graduate students, junior researchers and other professionals who are interested in the subject. We also take this opp...

Spontaneous potential (SP) well-logging is one of the most common and useful well-logging techniques in petroleum exploitation. This monograph is the first of its kind on the mathematical model of spontaneous potential well-logging and its numerical solutions. The mathematical model established in this book shows the necessity of introducing Sobolev spaces with fractional power, which seriously increases the difficulty of proving the well-posedness and proposing numerical solution schemes....

This book presents new and advanced concepts, theories and methodologies in polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) target scattering mechanism modeling and interpretation, which is dedicated to bridge the gap between the acquired data and practical applications. It proposes adaptive and generalized polarimetric target decompositions, to precisely interpret the target scattering mechanisms. Further, it develops a uniform polarimetric matrix rotation theory and a polarimetric coheren...

The highlight of this book is that design concept and structure of stent are described in detail for readers to choose suitable stents for different airway diseases.The first part of the book introduces readers to airway foundation on basic ideas of trachea anatomy, common symptoms and imaging signs of respiratory system. The second part provides a b...

The blood-brain-barrier serves to encapsulate and protect the central nervous system, but it also presents a major barricade to therapeutic drug delivery. Poor penetration is the most common hurdle to translating a promising experimental therapy that uses invasive delivery methods to a clinically useful application. In the last 10 years, intranasal delivery of various therapeutic compounds including small chemicals, large proteins, and even stem cells has proven to be very effective in byp...
