This book covers a broader scope of Attribute-Based Encryption
(ABE), from the background knowledge, to specific constructions,
theoretic proofs, and applications. The goal is to provide in-depth
knowledge usable for college students and researchers who want to
have a comprehensive understanding of ABE schemes and novel
ABE-enabled research and applications. The specific focus is to
present the development of using new ABE features such as
group-based access, ID-based revocation, and attributes management
functions such as delegation, federation, and interoperability.
These new capabilities can build a new ABE-based Attribute-Based
Access Control (ABAC) solution that can incorporate data access
policies and control into ciphertext. This book is also ideal for
IT companies to provide them with the most recent technologies and
research on how to implement data access control models for mobile
and data-centric applications, where data access control does not
need to rely on a fixed access control infrastructure. It's also of
interested to those working in security, to enable them to have the
most recent developments in data access control such as ICN and
Blockchain technologies. Features Covers cryptographic background
knowledge for ABE and ABAC Features various ABE constructions to
achieve integrated access control capabilities Offers a
comprehensive coverage of ABE-based ABAC Provides ABE applications
with real-world examples Advances the ABE research to support new
mobile and data-centric applications
The primary goal of nanotechnology is to achieve nanoscale
materials and devices with atomic precision. Toward this goal,
breakthroughs have recently been made in the solution-phase
synthesis and applications of atomically precise nanoclusters. This
book presents the exciting progress in this new research field. The
chapters are contributed by leading experts of the field and cover
the synthetic methods, atomic structures, electronic and optical
properties, and catalytic applications of noble metal nanoclusters.
Such new nanocluster materials offer exciting opportunities for
chemists and physicists to understand the fundamental science of
nanoclusters, especially the atomic-level structure-property
correlation and design of new materials, as well as for developing
a range of applications including catalysis, biomedicine, sensing,
imaging, optics, and energy conversion. The book will be of
interest to readers and researchers in nanotechnology,
nanochemistry, catalysis, and computational chemistry, as well as
practitioners in industry R&D for new materials. It is written
to be accessible to undergraduate and graduate students and,
therefore, is an excellent teaching material.
This book seeks to illustrate the research on mathematics
competencies and disposition in China according to the conceptual
development and empirical investigation perspective. Mathematics
education in China has a distinguishing feature a focus of
attention to mathematical competency. Paradoxically, there has not
been an explicit, refined, and measurable evaluation system in
place to assess mathematical competency in China. While academic
achievement surveys or evaluations are common, these can only give
an overall conclusion about mathematical thinking skills or problem
solving abilities. In response to this deficiency, China is
beginning to carry out national projects that emphasize defining
both a conceptual framework on core competencies in school
mathematics and developing a corresponding assessment framework.
Thus, the main focus of this volume is the current investigations
of different mathematics competencies and mathematical disposition
of Chinese students, with the aim of promoting interaction between
domestic and international student performance assessment, to
provide a more comprehensive understanding of mathematics
competencies and disposition in mainland China, and to stimulate
innovative new directions in research. The primary audience of this
volume is the large group of researchers interested in mathematics
competencies, mathematics teaching and learning in China, or
comparative studies, or the relation of the three. The book will
also appeal to teaching trainers or instructors, as well as be an
appropriate resource for graduate courses or seminars at either the
master's or doctoral level.

Technology-assisted People-to-People (P2P) interactions, embedded
in a global environment, will be at the core of 21st century
communications and will command the technological development of
the forthcoming future. The intelligent interactivity of people,
process (delivering the right information to the right
person/machine at the right time), data and things, incorporates
the Internet-of-Everything (IoE) that expands itself beyond the
Internet-of-Things (IoT). In general, IoT comprises all physical or
cyber objects (things) with an address that can transmit data
(without human-to-machine interactions), while the IoE also
involves communications among the users and the whole universe of
electronic gadgets. Further, they both operate with data acquired
from analog sources, thus connecting two different realities, the
analog (physical/real) and the digital (cyber/virtual) worlds.
Since the interface between the two realms deals with analog
signals, its mandatory functions integrate several analog and
mixed-signal sub-systems that include signal sensing, transmission
and reception, frequency generation, energy harvesting, in-memory
processing, data and power conversion. This publication presents
state-of-the-art designs of the most critical building blocks of
the analog/digital interface highlighting new and innovative
circuit architectures and techniques. It addresses capacitive
sensor interfaces, ultra-low-power wireless transceivers, key
technologies for wireline transceivers, oscillators and frequency
generators, integrated energy harvesting interfaces, in-memory
processing, as well as, data and power converters, all exhibiting
high quality performance with low power consumption, high
energy-efficiency and high speed, thus enabling a reliable and
consistent development of the IoE while enlarging its frontiers. In
the coming decades, with the continuous evolution of electronics
downscaling, the challenges that the above-mentioned sub-systems
face will be tremendous in terms of the requirements for ultra-low
power and ultra-high speed, obtained with the maximum
energy-efficiency. Thus, the analog and mixed-signal very large
scale integration area of work will continue to be an attractive
field for research for design engineers both in the academia and in
the industry, as it has been always the case since the emergence of
silicon planar electronics 6 decades ago.
'Although the editors admit that they cannot present an unequivocal
explanation for the strange resilience of KirchhoffaEURO (TM)s
flawed theory, their book is an admirable effort to meet this
challenge ... It is a concerted effort to resolve a persistent
riddle in the history of physics - and an example of how expert
knowledge from different specialties may be focused on a target of
common interest.'ISIS JournalThe 1882 paper by the mathematical
physicist Gustav Robert Kirchhoff on diffraction theory is still
being discussed to this day, but has never been translated into
English. This volume contains the first English translation of the
Kirchhoff treatise, as well as background and commentary on it.
Included are a biographical introduction to Kirchhoff's life, an
analysis of the reception to Kirchhoff's paper through the ages, a
discussion on why Kirchhoff's theory manages to produce accurate
predictions in spite of being 'wrong', and views on the theory as
well as its predecessor and subsequent developments. This anthology
will make all English-speaking scientists, engineers, historians,
and interested laymen aware of the great fecundity of Kirchhoff's
thought and historical context.
This book is a systematic and detailed exposition of different
analytical techniques used in studying two of the canonical
problems, the wave scattering by wedges or cones with impedance
boundary conditions. It is the first reference on novel, highly
efficient analytical-numerical approaches for wave diffraction by
impedance wedges or cones. This text includes calculations of the
diffraction or excitation coefficients, including their uniform
versions, for the diffracted waves from the edge of the wedge or
from the vertex of the cone; study of the far-field behavior in
diffraction by impedance wedges or cones, reflected waves, space
waves from the singular points of the boundary (from edges or
tips), and surface waves; and the applicability of the reported
solution procedures and formulae to existing software packages
designed for solving real-world high-frequency problems encountered
in antenna, wave propagation, and radar cross section. This book is
for researchers in wave phenomena physics, radio, optics and
acoustics engineers, applied mathematicians and specialists in
mathematical physics and specialists in quantum scattering of many
particles.
"Theory of Diffraction: Heuristic Approaches" outlines the
asymptotic methods in the theory of diffraction, which manifest
their strong heuristic nature, including the geometrical theory of
diffraction by J.B. Keller, the physical theory of diffraction by
P.Ya. Ufimtsev, the parabolic wave-equation method by Leontovich
and Fock, which forms the basis for quasi-optics, the complex
geometrical optics as well as the Maslov's, Kravtsov-Ludwig's and
Orlov's asymptotic methods for a caustic-wave-fields description.
The book is addressed to engineers, applied physicists and
students, who need a compact, without complicated mathematics,
comprehensive outline of the most effective methods of diffraction
theory, capable of describing the lion's share of applied problems.
