This book investigates a new interactive data visualisation concept that employs traditional Chinese aesthetics as a basis for exploring contemporary digital technological contexts. It outlines the aesthetic approach, which draws on non-Western aesthetic concepts, specifically the Yijing and Taoist cosmological principles, and discusses the development of data-based digital practices within a theoretical framework that combines traditional Taoist ideas with the digital humanities.T...

2020，是轉變的一年。作者在住家頂樓，放下了原本打算輕生的念頭，接著靈性開關被開啟，一路從谷底翻轉，並發現了自己真正的工作使命，走上意識維度開發的領域，並享受著各種宇宙法則：“輕鬆不費力法則”、“吸引力法則”、“互惠法則”、“豐盛喜悅法則”，每天有更多時間用來靜心冥想、安靜看書，與伴侶的關係也獲得絕無前有的改善，財富更是隨著順流奇蹟般地來到眼前。全書近四萬字，詳細記錄了作者從谷底到豐盛喜悅的過程。她也依據真實經歷，統整出六大關卡，在逐一破關之後，迎接人生順流，轉換意識維度，生命走向豐盛喜悅的自在樣貌。第一關 / 不生氣，不批判。 0.5秒察覺，加以回擊，把負轉為正！第二關 / 不擔心、不厭煩。 當下一切都很好就夠了，不需要擔心，不需要恐懼！第三關 / 向宇宙正確地下訂單。記得幫自己升等，讓正能量陪伴自己等待。第四關 / 養成靜心冥想的習慣。好好呼吸，每日給自己徹底安靜的片刻。第五關 / 對一切發出無限感謝。感恩日記就是一個強大的正能量魔法啊！第六...

Soil Nematodes of Grasslands in Northern China presents research on China's temperate grasslands, providing the findings and results of a large field survey along a transect across the northern temperate grassland. It examines nematode distribution patterns along the transect from trophic group and family, to genus level, also evaluating their relationship with climatic conditions, plant biomass and soil parameters. The book then presents detailed taxonomy information of nematodes to genus...

Discover the principles of wireless power transfer for unmanned aerial vehicles, from theoretical modelling to practical applications. This essential guide provides a complete technical perspective and hands-on experience. It combines in-depth theoretical models, such as T-models and M-models, with practical system design, including wireless charging system construction. It presents systematic solutions to real-world challenges in UAV wireless charging, such as mutual inductance disturbanc...

Empirical Seismic Vulnerability and Resilience Assessment of Building Clusters analyzes the seismic vulnerability analysis of 10 types of structures and studies and discusses the evaluation of structural damage using risk analysis and shaking table test methods. The book focuses on seismic vulnerabilities but does not consider the contribution of typical empirical structural seismic damage data to structural vulnerability assessment and prediction. In other words, the empirical data's role...

A comprehensive, up-to-date textbook on nonparametric methods for students and researchersUntil now, students and researchers in nonparametric and semiparametric statistics and econometrics have had to turn to the latest journal articles to keep pace with these emerging methods of economic analysis. Nonparametric Econometrics fills a major gap by gathering together the most up-to-date theory and techniques and presenting them in a remarkably straightforwar...

This is the fourth volume in a series of books focusing on natural gas engineering, focusing on two of the most important issues facing the industry today: disposal and enhanced recovery of natural gas. This volume includes information for both upstream and downstream operations, including chapters on shale, geological issues, chemical and thermodynamic models, and much more.Written by some of the most well-known and respected chemical and process engineers working with natural gas...

This book focuses on the energy storage system and their application technologies, consolidating the author's theoretical accumulation and practical experience in power energy storage, distributed generation, microgrids, and smart grids in recent years. It is divided into three parts. The first part is an overview, which first focuses on the revolutionary development of the power system and analyzes the role of energy storage in power system frequency regulation, peak shaving, renewable en...

This book focuses on the control and state estimation problems for dynamical network systems with complex samplings subject to various network-induced phenomena. It includes a series of control and state estimation problems tackled under the passive sampling fashion. Further, it explains the effects from the active sampling fashion, i.e., event-based sampling is examined on the control/estimation performance, and novel design technologies are proposed for controllers/estimators. Simulation...

This book is designed to summarize and synthesize Professor Chen Weirong's many years of research and related technical progress in the field. It describes the key technologies and application status of fuel cell, solar energy and energy storage in railway transportation. New energy locomotive is a new type of power supply system rail locomotive with new energy as the power source, and it is one of the main ways of energy saving and emission reduction in rail transit. At present, new energ...

This book focuses on observing and understanding the urban planning and relevant development patterns applied to the creation of urban districts against the backdrop of the current rapid urbanization and transformation of Shanghai on its way to becoming a world city. Based on a review of the four stages of city evolution, a series of case studies on typical urban districts through the city's building history to date points out key issues in connection with current developments. Three rapid...

This book summarizes the progress made to functional immobilize G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) through site-specific or orientated recognition in both non-covalent and covalent manners. The last decade is the dawn of the “post-structural biology” era for G protein-coupled receptor research. As an emerging approach for state-of-the-art immobilization, this book discusses efforts to explore the elegance of naturally-occurring biochemical reactions by using their high specificity and rob...
