This two-volume set provides a comprehensive study of fractional random vibration from the perspective of theory and practice. Volume II provides the analytical expressions for the responses of seven classes of fractional vibration systems excited by six types of random processes.It examines the responses of seven classes of fractional vibrations driven by five fractional processes, namely, fractional Gaussian noise, generalized fractional Gaussian noise, fractional Brownian motion...

This two-volume set provides a comprehensive study of fractional random vibration from the perspective of theory and practice. Volume I deals succinctly with the theories of fractional processes and fractional vibration systems.A major focus of fractional vibrations is the derivation of analytical expressions for the frequency transfer functions of seven classes of fractional vibrations using elementary functions. This is considered from the perspective of the functional form of li...

This sweeping historical drama transports readers to Ming Dynasty China, where love, betrayal, and cosmic justice intertwine. When Virtue Feng's wife is stolen by a wealthy merchant, their lives become entangled in a web of passion and revenge. From the pleasure houses of Hangzhou to the scholar's courtyards, follow their decades-long journey as they navigate adultery, murder, and ultimately redemption—proving that no deed, good or evil, escapes heaven's notice.

The book examines vibration phenomena with an emphasis on fractional vibrations using the functional form of linear vibrations with frequency-dependent mass, damping, or stiffness, covering the theoretical analysis potentially applicable to structures and, in particular, ship hulls.Covering the six classes of fractional vibrators and seven classes of fractionally damped Euler-Bernoulli beams that play a major role in hull vibrations, this book presents analytical formulas of all re...

By deploying time series analysis, Fourier transform, functional analysis, min-plus convolution, and fractional order systems and noise, this book proposes fractal traffic modeling and computations of delay bounds, aiming to improve the quality of service in computer communication networks.As opposed to traditional studies of teletraffic delay bounds, the author proposes a novel fractional noise, the generalized fractional Gaussian noise (gfGn) approach, and introduces a new fracti...

Authored by one of the world's hydrocarbon exploration experts, Geophysical Exploration Technology: Applications in Lithological and Stratigraphic Reservoirs presents the latest technological advancements and cutting edge techniques in reservoir theory, research and exploration. Stratigraphic and lithological reservoirs play a critical role in increasing the production from oil reserves and new hydrocarbon sources. Recent resource evaluations indicate that onshore stratigraphic and subtle ...

As China becomes increasingly important in world relations, many components of the country's cultural arts remain unknown outside its borders. Shih-Ming Li Chang and Lynn E. Frederiksen's Chinese Dance: In the Vast Land and Beyond undertakes the challenge of discovering the relationship between Chinese dance in its many forms and the cultural contexts of dance within the region and abroad.As a comprehensive resource, Chinese Dance offers students and scholars an invaluable introduc...

This book provides a comprehensive theory of mono- and multi-fractal traffic, including the basics of long-range dependent time series and 1/f noise, ergodicity and predictability of traffic, traffic modeling and simulation, stationarity tests of traffic, traffic measurement and the anomaly detection of traffic in communications networks.Proving that mono-fractal LRD time series is ergodic, the book exhibits that LRD traffic is stationary. The author shows that the stationarity of ...

This pivot considers the impact of INSET courses on EFL teachers practicing under the national curriculum reform in China. Providing context-specific findings on the policy and implementation of INSET as well as its impact on teacher education initiatives in both China and similar contexts, it explores the limitations of one off training events such as INSET and the inconsistency between teacher learning results and their classroom practices. The book argues that teachers, when returning t...

The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ship's Ballast Water and Sediments mandates ships undertake ballast water treatment to reduce, remove or kill organisms of concern before being allowed to discharge their water. This book introduces technologies and devices that are used for the analysis of treated ballast water. Emphasis is placed on the separation, manipulation, detection, counting, and sizing of microalgae in a microfluidic chip which shows great potential f...

The Pathology and Imaging of Coronavirus Pneumonia is a comprehensive study of the coronavirus family-related pulmonary diseases, specifically targeting the three subtypes of coronaviruses that have been confirmed to infect humans: SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. It is based on heterogeneous data from imaging and clinical sources, and particularly emphasizes the imaging-based staging diagnostic model rooted in the pathogenic and pathological aspects of clinical staging, thereby aiming to better ...
