The Definitive Guide to LTE TechnologyLong-Term Evolution (LTE) is the next step in the GSM evolutionary path beyond 3G technology, and it is strongly positioned to be the dominant global standard for 4G cellular networks. LTE also represents the first generation of cellular networks to be based on a flat IP architecture and is designed to seamlessly support a variety of different services, such as broadband data, voice, and multicast video. Its design incorporates...

In Driving toward Modernity**, Jun Zhang ethnographically explores the entanglement between the rise of the automotive regime and emergence of the middle class in South China.** Focusing on the Pearl River Delta, one of the nation's wealthiest regions, Zhang shows how private cars have shaped everyday middle-class sociality, solidarity, and subjectivity, and how the automotive regime has helped make the new middle classes of the PRC. By carefully ...

This book aims to present the observation and Interpretation for China’s economic growth since Reform and Opening-up from a Chinese economist’s view. The book is divided into 5 sections, including the research of traditional socialist economic structure, China’s transformation from planned economy to market economy, reform of Chinese industrial economy, economic growth and political economy. Key topics are covered over the past 40 years including strategies for economic transformation, dua...

This textbook offers readers a self-contained introduction to quantitative Tamarkin category theory. Functioning as a viable alternative to the standard algebraic analysis method, the categorical approach explored in this book makes microlocal sheaf theory accessible to a wide audience of readers interested in symplectic geometry. Much of this material has, until now, been scattered throughout the existing literature; this text finally collects that information into one convenient volume.

China has quickly moved into a critical point in the sense that its past performance in economic growth and development has created so many unsolved problems, and for such problems to be addressed, a better understanding of these problems and a clear policy framework are required for policy makers to conduct reforms. Based on high-level empirical research on China's economic development by each of the contributors, this edited book provides an in-depth and clear analysis of many of importa...

This book focuses on the development of high-performance carbon electrodes for sodium ion batteries (SIBs). By proposing folded-graphene as the high-density cathode with excellent rate capability, it provides insight into the interplay between oxygen functional groups and folded texture. It also highlights the superiority of ether electrolytes matching with carbon anodes, which are shown to deliver largely improved electrochemical performance. The achievements presented offer a valuable co...

In this book, Dr. Jun Zhang rebuts the widely-held view that Chinese economic growth is unsustainable due to low consumption and a reliance on exports and enormous fixed-asset investments. Though many believe this “structural imbalance” of the Chinese economy will become a serious problem in the long run, Zhang holds a bullish long-term outlook owing to China's long-term economic development.For Zhang, China’s structural problems are greatly exaggerated and certain structures, such...

This book provides readers with a unified, forward-looking framework for understanding, designing, and optimizing monograph multi-energy systems that link electricity, heat, gas, and hydrogen. Rather than offering a descriptive overview of existing technologies, this book emphasizes theoretical rigor and methodological innovation, providing engineers, researchers, and system planners with the analytical tools and design principles necessary to develop intelligent, adaptive, and resilient m...

This book systematically reviews the development of social policy since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China. As such, it begins by investigating the establishment of the Insurance System in the early period, then moves on to the planned economy period, the Cultural Revolution period, and the Reform and Opening Up period, characterized by efforts to adapt to a market economy. For each period, the book examines the effect of the economic system, the mode of production and for...

The book gives a panoramic introduction to design for sustainability to students, with input for undergraduate students, design students, and interested design practitioners. It is based on frontier research, give insights into best design practices to clarify the application of design strategies and offer a systematic review of sustainability. Through its novel approach to the topic, the book gives a systemic perspective instead of focusing on single environmental or social perspectives. ...

The book focuses on design technology of high-speed and high-performance direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDS) chip. The technologies involves phase to amplitude converter design, D/A converter design, phase accumulator design, multi-chip synchronization circuit design, etc. In each chapter, the concept of the technology is explained first, and then the features of different implementation schemes are introduced through the real design cases. More over, a design case of a 2.5GHz monol...

Foreign aid has connected China and the international community through many channels, and created new types of strong partnerships throughout the world. As a recipient country, China and donors have engaged in an unprecedentedly deep level of cooperation on development-related issues. China’s development experience has resulted in key changes to the relationships and partnerships between China and donors, from receiving foreign aid to entering into development cooperation. China has provi...
