In general, teaching languages can prove difficult to most without
suitable teaching materials and instructors. Fortunately,
e-learning courses make student learning of both language and
culture easier through information communication technologies.
Learning Culture and Language through ICTs: Methods for Enhanced
Instruction offers students, instructors, and researchers an
authoritative reference to the current progress of language and
cultural e-learning. A high quality collection for libraries and
academicians, this book covers pertinent topics such as second
language learning and computer learning principles.
"Modeling, Control and Coordination of Helicopter Systems" provides
a comprehensive treatment of helicopter systems, ranging from
related nonlinear flight dynamic modeling and stability analysis to
advanced control design for single helicopter systems, and also
covers issues related to the coordination and formation control of
multiple helicopter systems to achieve high performance tasks.
Ensuring stability in helicopter flight is a challenging problem
for nonlinear control design and development. This book is a
valuable reference on modeling, control and coordination of
helicopter systems, providing readers with practical solutions for
the problems that still plague helicopter system design and
implementation. Readers will gain a complete picture of helicopters
at the systems level, as well as a better understanding of the
technical intricacies involved.
In 1867, an American merchant ship, the Rover, sank off the coast
of southern Taiwan. Fourteen sailors reached the shore, where
almost all were killed by indigenous people. In retaliation, the
United States launched two disastrous military operations against
local tribes. Eventually, the U.S. consul to Amoy, Charles Le
Gendre, negotiated a treaty with Tauketok, the chief of the
eighteen tribes of the area, that secured safe passage for
shipwrecked sailors. Yao-Chang Chen's historical novel Puppet
Flower retells the story of the Rover incident, bringing to light
its pivotal role in Taiwanese history. Merging documented events
and literary imagination, the novel vividly depicts Tauketok, Le
Gendre, and other historical figures alongside the story of
Butterfly, a young woman of mixed ethnic heritage who serves as an
interpreter and mediator during the crisis. Chen deftly
reconstructs the multiethnic and multilingual society of southern
Taiwan in the second half of the nineteenth century from multiple
perspectives, portraying local people's daily struggles for
survival and their interactions with Han Chinese settlers, Qing
dynasty bureaucrats, and Western officials, tradesmen, and
adventurers. The novel explores nineteenth-century Sino-American
and Sino-indigenous relations and emphasizes the centrality of
Taiwanese indigenous cultures to the island's history. A gripping
work of historical fiction, Puppet Flower is a powerful revisionist
narrative of a formative moment in Taiwan's past. It was recently
adapted into a popular Taiwanese TV miniseries, Seqalu: Formosa
1867.

Written in a straightforward and easily accessible style, this
volume is suitable as a textbook for advanced undergraduate or
first-year graduate students in mathematics, physical sciences, and
engineering. The aim is to provide students with a strong
background in the theories of Ordinary Differential Equations,
Dynamical Systems and Boundary Value Problems, including regular
and singular perturbations. It is also a valuable resource for
researchers.This volume presents an abundance of examples in
physical and biological sciences, and engineering to illustrate the
applications of the theorems in the text. Readers are introduced to
some important theorems in Nonlinear Analysis, for example, Brouwer
fixed point theorem and fundamental theorem of algebras. A chapter
on Monotone Dynamical Systems takes care of the new developments in
Ordinary Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems.In this third
edition, an introduction to Hamiltonian Systems is included to
enhance and complete its coverage on Ordinary Differential
Equations with applications in Mathematical Biology and Classical
Mechanics.
In this volume of essays a group of scholars from Europe, Japan,
the Republic of China, and the United States examines China's legal
tradition to determine its importance for the study of both
pre-modern China and of contemporary affairs. Originally published
in 1981. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.

COVID-19: The Essentials of Prevention and Treatment elaborates on
the ethology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical characteristics,
treatment principles, rehabilitation and prevention, and prevention
and control measures for COVID-19. Aimed at healthcare workers, and
written to be a practical guide, six chapters cover the following
aspects of COVID-19: respiratory viruses; pathogenesis; case
definitions and diagnosis; treatment; prevention and disease
control; and prospects for the management and research of
respiratory virus infections. This book gives first-hand
information on the prevention, control, diagnosis and treatment of
COVID-19. COVID-19 was recognized as a pandemic in March 2020 by
the World Health Organization. It is a disease caused by severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Physicians
working in China, particularly where the outbreak was first
identified in Wuhan, have built up knowledge of prevention and
control measures, and diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
These insights are now globally relevant. The authors of this book
are senior physicians specializing in respiratory diseases,
pulmonary diseases and critical care medicine, and are all clinical
and scientific research experts working in China, with particular
experience in Wuhan.
Information technology is essential to our daily life, and the
limitations of silicone based memory systems mean a growing amount
of research is focussed on finding an inexpensive alternative to
meet our needs and allow the continued development of the industry.
Inorganic silicone based technology is increasingly costly and
complex and is physically limited by the problems of scaling down.
Organic electrical memory devices are comparatively low cost, offer
flexibility in terms of chemical structure, are compatible with
flexible substrates and allow easy processing. For these reasons
polymeric memory nanoscale materials are considered by many to be a
potential substitute for conventional semiconductor memory systems.
This edited book focusses solely on organic memory devices,
providing a full background and overview of the area before
bringing the reader up to date with the current and ongoing
research in this area. The broad appeal of this book will be
applicable to a wide range of researchers and those working in
industry, in particular those working in materials, electrical and
chemical engineering.
