Steer away from awkward, embarrassing Chinese-English translation, word by word, expression by expression, and situation by situation, with this handy guidebook.Whether you’re making a presentation, trying to write a resume that will stand out, preparing for an interview or simply trying to make small talk, you’ll learn how Chinese and English are similar and different and how to smoothly move from one language to the other.For instance, automatically translates: I want noo...

The main aim of this book is to provide an advanced textbook on functional analysis, focusing on the functional calculus of operators. Based on basic knowledge of functional analysis on metric spaces and linear bounded operators, this book systematically introduces the spectral theory of operators and the theory of operator semigroups, including Banach algebras, spectral theories of both bounded and unbounded linear operators, as well as semigroups of operators. They play important roles i...

Due to its abilities to compensate disturbances and uncertainties, disturbance observer based control (DOBC) is regarded as one of the most promising approaches for disturbance-attenuation. One of the first books on DOBC, Disturbance Observer Based Control: Methods and Applications presents novel theory results as well as best practices for applica

This book provides a comprehensive review and in-depth study on efficient beamforming design and rigorous performance analysis in mmWave networks, covering beam alignment, beamforming training and beamforming-aided caching. Due to significant beam alignment latency between the transmitter and the receiver in existing mmWave systems, this book proposes a machine learning based beam alignment algorithm for mmWave networks to determine the optimal beam pair with a low latency. Then, to analyz...

Rekindle your magic. Rewrite the myth.In Coven of the East, twenty-two writers from across the Asian diaspora come together to reclaim, reimagine, and resurrect the magical traditions often erased from mainstream narratives. Through short stories and essays, these contributors explore the intimate ways mysticism, folklore, and ancestral wisdom shape their characters' lives — and their own.Magic isn't just in myths. It lives in the networks of nature and in our hist...

This book describes the feasibility and status of the use of alternative fuels in marine engineering, as well as the application of liquefied natural gas, biodiesel and their blends as marine fuels, and the combustion of synthetic coal-based fuels.Each chapter in the book ends with a summary, which gives the reader a quick and clear understanding of the main contents of the chapter. The book gives a lot of advice on the selection of equipment and parameters, fuel reserves and prepa...
