Drawing on the expertise of Chinese and Western academics and
practitioners, the contributors to this volume aim to advance the
understanding of philanthropy for health in China in the 20th
century and to identify future challenges and opportunities.
Considering government, NGO leaders, domestic philanthropists, and
foreign foundations, the volume examines the historical roots and
distinct stages of philanthropy and charity in China, the health
challenges philanthropy must address, and the role of the Chinese
government, including its support for Government Organized
Non-Governmental Organizations (GONGOs). The editors discuss
strategies and practices of international philanthropy for health;
the role of philanthropy in China s evolving health system; and the
prospects for philanthropy in a country beginning to engage with
civil society."
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has recently attracted
considerable attention from both research and industrial
communities. Numerous papers have been published regarding solving
the resource- allocation problems in NFV, from various
perspectives, considering different constraints, and adopting a
range of techniques. However, it is difficult to get a clear
impression of how to understand and classify different kinds of
resource allocation problems in NFV and how to design solutions to
solve these problems efficiently. This book addresses these
concerns by offering a comprehensive overview and explanation of
different resource allocation problems in NFV and presenting
efficient solutions to solve them. It covers resource allocation
problems in NFV, including an introduction to NFV and QoS
parameters modelling as well as related problem definition,
formulation and the respective state-of-the-art algorithms. This
book allows readers to gain a comprehensive understanding of and
deep insights into the resource allocation problems in NFV. It does
so by exploring (1) the working principle and architecture of NFV,
(2) how to model the Quality of Service (QoS) parameters in NFV
services, (3) definition, formulation and analysis of different
kinds of resource allocation problems in various NFV scenarios, (4)
solutions for solving the resource allocation problem in NFV, and
(5) possible future work in the respective area.
The energy crisis and pollution have posed significant risks to the
environment, transportation, and economy over the last century.
Thus, green energy becomes one of the critical global technologies
and the use of nanomaterials in these technologies is an important
and active research area. This book series presents the progress
and opportunities in green energy sustainability. Developments in
nanoscaled electrocatalysts, solid oxide and proton exchange
membrane fuel cells, lithium ion batteries, and photovoltaic
techniques comprise the area of energy storage and conversion.
Developments in carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and hydrogen (H2)
storage using tunable structured materials are discussed. Design
and characterization of new nanoscaled materials with controllable
particle size, structure, shape, porosity and band gap to enhance
next generation energy systems are also included. The technical
topics covered in this series are metal organic frameworks,
nanoparticles, nanocomposites, proton exchange membrane fuel cell
catalysts, solid oxide fuel cell electrode design, trapping of
carbon dioxide, and hydrogen gas storage.
