This book explores the intersection of quantum computing and network science. It bridges the theoretical foundations of quantum walk algorithms with their applications in the structural exploration and representation learning of complex networks.Quantum walks, a technology that is pivotal to universal quantum computational models, examines the movement of particles on a graph composed of nodes and links. Quantum superposition enables these particles to traverse these graphs more qu...

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to quantum image processing, which focuses on extending conventional image processing tasks to the quantum computing frameworks.

It offers a valuable reference resource for graduate students and researchers interested in this em...

Chen, He and Yan present a range of applications of multiple-source big data to core areas of contemporary sociology, demonstrating how a theory-guided approach to macrosociology can help to understand social change in China, especially where traditional approaches are limited by constrained and biased data.In each chapter of the book, the authors highlight an application of theory-guided macrosociology that has the potential to reinvigorate an ambitious, open-minded and bold appro...

Traditional resident travel surveys have limited the development of traffic planning theory and traffic model technology. Although mobile phone signaling data has been widely used to analyze macro urban travel characteristics, travel patterns, and travel behavior due to the advantages such as wide coverage, dynamic performance, and low collection costs, its potential and reliability in collecting individual travel chain information lacked demonstration and consensus.This book aims ...

Transfer Learning for Rotary Machine Fault Diagnosis and Prognosis introduces the theory and latest applications of transfer learning on rotary machine fault diagnosis and prognosis. Transfer learning-based rotary machine fault diagnosis is a relatively new subject, and this innovative book synthesizes recent advances from academia and industry to provide systematic guidance. Basic principles are described before key questions are answered, including the applicability of transfer learning ...

"Study on Heterotrophic-Autotrophic Denitrification Permeable Reactive Barriers (HAD PRBs) for In Situ Groundwater Remediation” is an unmatched reference work on PRBs for groundwater in situ remediation. It proposes a novel HAD PRB approach for nitrate-contaminated groundwater remediation, and provides a systematic and clear explanation of design concepts and denitrification mechanisms. The book consists of four chapters, each of which covers key aspects of HAD PRBs. It provides rich, easy...

This book systematically explains the fundamentals of system-level electromagnetic compatibility and introduces the basic concept of system-level electromagnetic compatibility quantification design. The topics covered include the critical technologies in the top-down quantification design of electromagnetic compatibility, quantification design of system-level electromagnetic compatibility, evaluation methods and application examples, quality control and application examples of electromagne...

Renowned Chinese cooking expert and IACP Award–winning author, Eileen Yin-Fei Lo, who has been called "the Marcella Hazan of Chinese cooking," brings American home cooks more than 100 recipes for the versatile chicken, from simple stir-fries to celebration dishes.In China the chicken represents the phoenix, the mythological bird that rose from its ashes and that symbolizes rebirth and reaffirmation. Because of this deeply held belief, chicken is served at every New...
