This book discusses the smooth integration of optical and RF networks in 5G and beyond (5G+) heterogeneous networks (HetNets), covering both planning and operational aspects. The integration of high-frequency air interfaces into 5G+ wireless networks can relieve the congested radio frequency (RF) bands. Visible light communication (VLC) is now emerging as a promising candidate for future generations of HetNets. Heterogeneous RF-optical networks combine the high throughput of visible light ...

The differential quadrature hierarchical finite element method (DQHFEM) was proposed by Bo Liu. This method incorporated the advantages and the latest research achievements of the hierarchical finite element method (HFEM), the differential quadrature method (DQM) and the isogeometric analysis (IGA). The DQHFEM also overcame many limitations or difficulties of the three methods.This unique compendium systemically introduces the construction of various DQHFEM elements of commonly used geomet...

Since ancient times Tai Chi Chuan has been practiced as a holistic mind/body fitness system, bringing immense benefits for practitioners in health, longevity, relaxation, and concentration. Tai Chi Chuan was also practiced as an effective and deadly martial art.Because of this, the ancient masters rarely disclosed their secrets, guarding them as closely as they would military secrets. They preserved their profound insights in obscure songs, poems, and classics, revealing only to th...

《華嚴經》是佛教的根本大法，每一本佛經，可說都只是華嚴的一部分。祖師告訴我們：「不讀華嚴，不知佛之富貴。」認識了華嚴佛境界的依正莊嚴，才能真正了悟自性無量的德能、相好、光明。多少人想接觸華嚴，但往往不得其門而入、因其奧義而退怯。你會想找這樣的一本書，表示你已經走在「始覺」的路上。光明就在眼前，華嚴就在當下。作者蔡武陽，台大物理系第一名畢業，獲哈佛大學優渥獎學金，師從物理大師諾貝爾獎得主 J. Schwinger，攻讀理論物理。蔡博士一生專研量子力學、高能物理及天文物理等，曾任大學教授並在加州理工學院（Caltech）的噴氣推進實驗室（JPL）工作近20年。蔡博士退休後潛心精研《華嚴》諸法實相多年，禪教並修。他於書中一文〈卡西米爾效應（Casimir Effect）與真空妙有、剎那生滅〉提到，早期他所寫的論文，大多與量子電磁場論（Quantum Electrodynamics, QED）有關，其中有兩篇是關於卡西米爾效應的計算，當時他不知其重要性，至今才知，原來它與宇宙大爆炸的關聯，以及它是解說一真法界、諸法實相的"剎那生滅、真空妙有"的最佳例...

關於修行見性，有頓悟與漸修，即所謂"宗門"與"教下"。教下是指佛講經說法，包括佛陀49年裡所教導的修證法門，以及歷代祖師所講的經、律、論。宗門始於世尊拈花，迦葉微笑，中國禪宗初祖為菩提達磨，禪宗不立文字，教外別傳，直指人心，見性成佛。佛佛道同，條條道路通羅馬，重點是必須先悟明正道，才不會走錯路或邪路，虛耗寶貴的生命。翻開佛經，名相術語就是第一道關卡，當你正望洋興嘆，心生卻畏之時，作者蔡武陽博士多年精研《華嚴經》諸法實相，融會貫通宗門教下，曾提及：禪宗有兩本以淺顯白話文闡說"傳心法門"，一本是《六祖壇經》，另一本是黃蘗希運禪師（Huang Po）所著的《傳心法要．鍾陵錄》，只要能看懂其中一本的真實義，就可頓悟。走對了修道之路，悟後起修，終能回歸自性，登堂入室，歸家穩坐，作自性佛。大衛．霍金斯（David Hawkins）的意識階層校準，將黃蘗校準為960，遠超過菩提達摩（795）、法華經及心經（780）、老子（610）。若想深入瞭解，須打開這些法寶，隨文入觀。成佛之道，如同登摩天大樓，停在第50層樓的人，不知第100樓的境界，也看不到它的風光，...
