Contributing to the discussion over China's higher education
development, this book takes a theoretical approach to address the
topic of university academics' innovation by introducing an
academic innovation competency model, exploring the contexts,
concepts and practices. The innovation competency model comprises
three interdependent dimensions, including the academic internal
drive vitality, the academic synthesizing refined ability and the
academic suspected and introspective ability. By enriching the
theory of professional development of university teachers, these
three dimensions will help advance the reform of college personnel
systems and ultimately improve the quality of China's higher
education. The book will be valuable to researchers, students and
stakeholders hoping to learn about education reform in China, or to
those who study higher education management and comparative
education.
With a focus on developing computational algorithms for examining
waveform design in diverse active sensing applications, this guide
is ideal for researchers and practitioners in the field. The three
parts conveniently correspond to the three categories of desirable
waveform properties: good aperiodic correlations, good periodic
correlations and beampattern matching. The book features various
application examples of using the newly designed waveforms,
including radar imaging, channel estimation for communications, an
ultrasound system for breast cancer treatment and covert underwater
communications. In addition to numerical results, the authors
present theoretical analyses describing lower bounds or limitations
of performance. Focusing on formulating practical problems
mathematically and solving the mathematical problems using
efficient and effective optimization techniques, the text pays
particular attention to developing easy-to-use computational
approaches. Most algorithms are accompanied by a table clearly
detailing iteration steps and corresponding MATLAB codes are
available on the companion website.

Mei finds an old album in Grandma's house in Beijing. She discovers
a charming character doing a back flip on a faded photo and
surprisingly learns this is her late Grandpa. She wishes she could
have spent more time with him. Grandma says Grandpa was one of the

show at the Mei Lanfang Grand Theater. The wonderful performance
and Grandma's explanations offer Mei a beautiful overview of Peking
Opera, the classic Chinese performance art, as well as interesting
stories of her Grandpa. Mei returns to Washington D.C. after
vacation. She decides to introduce the " most beautiful face" to
her friends. What is the most beautiful face? Why does Mei love it?
Will her friends like it too? Let's follow the traditional Chinese
paintbrush to enjoy an affectionate story about familial love, and
