This book systematically examines how the digitalization of global value chains (GVCs) has driven the high-quality development of China's manufacturing industry. It reveals the intrinsic mechanisms and pathways through which digital technologies reshape the international division of labor and promote industrial upgrading.Integrating theory with empirical analysis, the book establishes an innovative measurement framework for GVC digitalization. Using data from China's manufacturing ...

This book is the first to study the language and politics of identity of recent mainland Chinese migrants to Malaysia. Drawing on a variety of fieldwork data, the volume provides an accessible and succinct view of this ‘new’ transnational migrant community in multilingual Malaysia. Unlike earlier Chinese migrants (the ‘old’ Chinese communities) who migrated to Malaysia (previously British Malaya) due to experiencing poverty in China, the ‘new’ Chinese community in Malaysia comprises mainly...

With its unique geography and its historical significance as an important town along the Ancient Tea Horse Road, Benzilan Town has come to represent the fusion and transformation of ethnic cultures in the border of the Han and Tibetan cultures in northwestern Yunnan Province. Through three research trips to Benzilan Town, the authors conducted a comprehensive investigation of the history and culture of the Benzilan people from an anthropological perspective.

The book presents a focused study on electrolytic capacitorless permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives and their associated control strategies. It addresses both theoretical foundations and engineering practices through a comprehensive exploration of key topics, including system modeling, analytical principles for engineering challenges, control method design, experimental validation, and performance evaluation.Five critical engineering challenges are examined in depth:

This text seeks to clarify various contradictory claims regarding capabilities and limitations of blind equalization. It highlights basic operating conditions and potential for malfunction. The authors also address concepts and principles of blind algorithms for single input multiple output (SIMO) systems and multi-user extensions of SIMO equalization and identification.

This book focuses on the environmental property of minerals including mineralogical record of environmental changes, mineralogical influence on the environmental quality, mineralogical evaluation of the environment, mineralogical processing of environmental pollutants and interaction between minerals and microbes. Understanding of the environmental property of minerals is a good supplement to the traditional concept of “mineral”.By demonstrating plenty of case studies with easy-to-...

This monograph aims to provide theoretical and technical support for construction safety risk assessment in the construction of urban underground large space, since high construction risks and safety accidents frequently occurs in the current development of complex underground spaces in urban areas. The author's team completes the statistical analysis on a large number of typical engineering instances and related accident cases, and proposes the definition of "urban underground large space...
