The subject of jamming and rheology is a broad and
interdisciplinary one that is generating increasing interest. This
book deals with one of the oldest unsolved problems in condensed
matter physics - that of the nature of glass transition in
supercooled liquids. Jamming and Rheology is a collection of
reprinted articles from several fields, ranging from structural
glasses to foams and granular materials. Glassy relaxation and
constrained dynamics (jamming) occur at all scales, from
microscopic to macroscopic - in the glass transition of supercooled
liquids, in fluids confined to thin films, in the structural arrest
of particles such as granular materials, and in foams which must be
driven by an applied stress in order to flow. Because jamming
occurs at the transition between where a flow occurs and where
motion stops, it is hoped that there may be a universal feature
that describes this transition in all systems. This volume shows
that the systems described above share many common phenomenological
features, and covers work done by a wide range of scientists and
technologists working in areas from physics to chemistry to
chemical and mechanical engineering.
A comprehensive, authoritative examination of Chinese auditing
practices Study on the Auditing System of Socialism with Chinese
Characteristics provides unprecedented insight into China's current
audit process, with expert contributions and predictions of future
trends. Author Jiayi Liu is the Auditor General of the National
Audit Office of the People's Republic of China, and the current
chairman of the governing boards of the International Organizations
of Supreme Audit Institutions; in this book, he draws upon his vast
experience to help you better understand China's unique approach to
auditing. Contributions from senior auditors across the China
National Audit Office share deep insight into the system's
framework, features, and development, providing a comprehensive,
systematic examination of current, past, and future practices. As a
leading global auditing authority, Liu is the ideal source of
information and clarity on China's auditing system. This book opens
up the practices, processes, and foundational aspects of this
complex system to provide insight for those doing business in
China. * Understand the foundation of the Chinese auditing system *
Learn how the system was created and developed over time * Delve
into the system's framework and detailed features * Gain first-hand
insight into China's auditing experience Developed as a companion
to Study on the Auditing Theory of Socialism with Chinese
Characteristics, this book expands upon the system's basic
foundations to show how theory translates into practice. Companies
who do business in China need a working knowledge of the system,
and a scientific examination from the definitive authority provides
a level of insight you won't find anywhere else. Study on the
Auditing System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics is the
essential primer to the Chinese audit.

its different schools of thought, and its major philosophers.
Covers eight major philosophers in the ancient period, among them
Confucius, Laozi, and Zhuangzi.
Illuminates the links between different schools of philosophy.
Opens the door to further study of the relationship between Chinese
and Western philosophy.
Complex fluid flows are encountered widely in nature, in living
beings and in engineering practice. These flows often involve both
geometric and dynamic complexity and present problems that are
difficult to analyse because of their wide range of length and time
scales, as well as their geometric configuration. This book
describes some computational techniques and modelling strategies
for analysing and predicting complex transport phenomena. It
summarizes advances in the context of a pressure-based algorithm.
Among methods discussed are discretization schemes for treating
convection and pressure, parallel computing, multigrid methods, and
composite, multiblock techniques. With respect to physical
modelling, the book addresses issues of turbulence closure and
multiscale, multiphase transport from an engineering viewpoint.
Both fundamental and practical issues are considered, along with
the relative merits of competing approaches. Numerous examples are
given throughout the text. Mechanical, aerospace, chemical and
materials engineers can use the techniques presented in this book
to tackle important, practical problems more effectively.
This book describes some newly developed computational techniques and modeling strategies for analyzing and predicting complex transport phenomena. It summarizes advances in the context of a pressure-based algorithm and discusses methods such as discretization schemes for treating convection and pressure, parallel computing, multigrid methods, and composite, multiblock techniques. The final chapter is devoted to practical applications that illustrate the advantages of various numerical and physical tools. The authors provide numerous examples throughout the text.
Each company expanding its activities to foreign countries and advertising its products faces the question of how to do it. The book addresses the following questions: What are the social, cultural or religious features of advertising and advertising practices? Are there any taboos? What legal restrictions do apply? What kind of advertising infrastructure is there? Are there any institutions, federations or boards of advertising? What media are readily available? How are media data collected? What are the methods of gaining advertising data? How can specific target groups be addressed? Are there any particular preferences concerning the use of media? The book starts with an overview on the impact of culture and offers comprehensive information on advertising conditions in Australia, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, and the USA. Written by specialists from these countries.

This book features state-of-the-art studies on the responsible
innovation management. It illustrates the innovative methods from
socio-economic and sustainable development dimensions and
specifically mentions digitalisation's dark side, technology
application challenges and enterprises management issues. The
selected works contain enormous new case studies exploring ways to
improve the development of related industries from responsible
innovation perspectives. It covers about the multidisciplinary
areas, and hence, it fosters close collaboration between
researchers in diverse fields such as social science, economics and
engineering. Researchers, corporate executives and engineers in
these areas can benefit from the book.
This book provides an overview of the brand construction process of
manufacturing enterprises in Zhejiang province, China. There are
now a number of industry-leading enterprises that are trying to
build their own brands and manufacture products of higher quality
in Zhejiang. The first chapter focuses on the place branding
strategy employed by the Zhejiang Provincial Government in
launching the "ZhejiangMade" brand to improve the perception of
products made by Zhejiang manufacturing firms and promote them in
the domestic and international markets. In the following nine
chapters, the editors bring together case studies from nine leading
enterprises in Zhejiang, including Baoxiniao, Shuanghuan, Feida,
ROBAM, Xinhai, Yinlun, Weixing, Deli and Fotile, providing an
analysis of their branding process.

Following the successful publication of the 1st edition in 2009,
the 2nd edition maintains its aim to provide an application-driven
package of essential techniques in image processing and GIS,
together with case studies for demonstration and guidance in remote
sensing applications. The book therefore has a 3 in 1 structure
which pinpoints the intersection between these three individual
disciplines and successfully draws them together in a balanced and
comprehensive manner. The book conveys in-depth knowledge of image
processing and GIS techniques in an accessible and comprehensive
manner, with clear explanations and conceptual illustrations used
throughout to enhance student learning. The understanding of key
concepts is always emphasised with minimal assumption of prior
mathematical experience. The book is heavily based on the authors
own research. Many of the author-designed image processing
techniques are popular around the world. For instance, the SFIM
technique has long been adopted by ASTRIUM for mass-production of
their standard Pan-sharpen imagery data. The new edition also
includes a completely new chapter on subpixel technology and new
case studies, based on their recent research.
