This book focuses on supply chain management, specifically resilience modeling and recovery strategies for disruptions. It combines multi-level analysis (system, product, event, network) with practical tools such as knowledge graphs, optimization techniques, and risk management frameworks. Key features include a structured, visual approach to complex concepts and multiple recovery dimensions (short-term fixes, product redesign, hierarchical optimization, control support). Blending theory w...

The Records of the Three Kingdoms (三國志) is the official history of the Three Kingdoms period (220–280 CE), the half-century of tripartite division that followed the collapse of the Eastern Han dynasty. Compiled by the historian Chen Shou (陳壽) in the late third century, it chronicles the political, military, and institutional history of the three rival states — Wei, Shu Han, and Wu — from the Yellow Turban Rebellion of 184 CE to the reunification of China under the Jin dynasty in 280 CE. Wr...

The authors' innovative research ideas in power plant control are presented in this book.

Tensor network is a fundamental mathematical tool with a huge range of applications in physics, such as condensed matter physics, statistic physics, high energy physics, and quantum information sciences. This open access book aims to explain the tensor network contraction approaches in a systematic way, from the basic definitions to the important applications. This book is also useful to those who apply tensor networks in areas beyond physics, such as machine learning and the big-data anal...

This book highlights the vital role of vegetation in terrestrial surface systems, emphasizing its importance in regulating climate change, acting as a carbon sink, and maintaining the surface energy balance by absorbing CO2 from human activities. However, urbanization, extreme droughts, floods, fires, and other events negatively impact biodiversity, increase tree mortality, trigger wildfires, and exacerbate food insecurity and poverty. Understanding the influence of global climate change a...
