This is a book dedicated to special groups in the community whom we
reach out to promote chemistry interest and learning chemistry. It
will be immensely useful to students, parents who are interested in
Science Olympiads, Chemistry Olympiad, chemistry instructors at the
secondary and collegiate level, and other science instructors at
the secondary and collegiate level.This is a one-of-a-kind book
that details the 'behind-the-scenes' preparation and trainings that
students undergo in various countries. It will enable the effective
promotion of chemistry in your respective countries and around the
globe.
As educational standards continue to transform, it has become
essential for educators to receive the support and training
necessary to effectively instruct their students and meet societal
expectations. To do this, fostering education programs that include
innovative practices and initiatives is imperative. Preparing the
Next Generation of Teachers for 21st Century Education provides
emerging research on innovative practices in learning and teaching
within the modern era. While highlighting topics such as blended
learning, course development, and transformation practices, readers
will learn about progressive methods and applications of
21st-century education. This book is an important resource for
educators, academicians, professionals, graduate-level students,
and researchers seeking current research on contemporary learning
and teaching practices.
Hong Kong's anti-corruption agency, ICAC, is hailed as among the
world's best having almost completely purged systemic corruption
within a decade of its inception. This book explains how Hong Kong
maintains the myth of a clean city and examines the prevalence of
white collar crime in the city's property sector.
Engineering Technology and Applications contains the contributions
presented at the 2014 International Conference on Engineering
Technology and Applications (ICETA 2014, Tsingtao, China, 29-30
April 2014). The book is divided into three main topics: - Civil
and environmental engineering - Electrical and computer engineering
- Mechanical engineering Considerable attention is also paid to big
data, cloud computing, neural network algorithms and social network
services. The book will be invaluable to professionals and
academics in civil, environmental, electrical, computer and
mechanical engineering.
This book shows that Hong Kong's protests from June to December
2019 originated from not only an attempt to extradite a Hong Kong
man involved in a Taiwan murder case, but also China's effort at
extraditing corrupt mainlanders who laundered dirty money in the
territory. The mixture of peaceful and violent protests was due to
the snowballing effect of protestors-police confrontations, the
imbalanced way in which police exercised their power, and
protestors' strategies. The protests triggered the national
security concerns of Beijing, which mobilized the People's Armed
Police to Shenzhen as a warning rather than sending them openly to
Hong Kong to avoid undermining the image of "one country, two
systems." The entire debate raised the concerns of Washington,
Taiwan, and foreign governments, heightening Beijing's sensitivity.
After the bill was withdrawn, the anti-extradition movement has
become anti-police and anti-mainland, constantly challenging the
legitimacy of the Hong Kong government and Beijing. This is a
valuable read for China watchers, political scientists and all
those interested in the future of East Asia.
Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms and Applications provides
comprehensive treatment on the design of multiobjective
evolutionary algorithms and their applications in domains covering
areas such as control and scheduling. Emphasizing both the
theoretical developments and the practical implementation of
multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, a profound mathematical
knowledge is not required.
Written for a wide readership, engineers, researchers, senior
undergraduates and graduate students interested in the field of
evolutionary algorithms and multiobjective optimization with some
basic knowledge of evolutionary computation will find this book a
useful addition to their book case.
This book is a pioneering work to position the creative city
concept within Malaysian urban development discourse. The chapters
are written and systematically sequenced to be all-encompassing and
comprehensible to audiences both from the academic and non-academic
realms. The nascency of creative city development in Malaysia has
motivated the timely exploration of the viability of this strategy
for selected Malaysian cities (i.e. Kuala Lumpur, George Town,
Ipoh, Johor Bahru). The book also discusses the global discourse on
creative city and its critiques. This is followed by an overview of
Malaysia's macrolevel socio-economic and political structures as
well as national policies to frame the Malaysian creative city
narrative. The case study chapters are novel, as each Malaysian
city unravels its unique experiences and dissects the way the city
responds to the creative city agenda amidst local nuances and
idiosyncrasies.
