HIV and AIDS have long been problematized in the People's Republic
of China as objects of governance in political frameworks and
institutions. The state's attitudes towards health programs have,
nevertheless, changed significantly during the 21st century. Pilot
programs at the beginning of the century, which focused on
underground sex workers, have now developed into the roll-out of a
nationwide program, with supportive legislation and broadcast media
publicity. This book therefore examines China's evolving AIDS
response, providing an up to date investigation into the positions
and practices of the state. It explains the origins, rationales and
implementation of initiatives focused on female sex workers and
explores the extension of such initiatives to include other
populations identified as key to ending the AIDS epidemic,
especially homosexual men and rural-to-urban migrant labourers.
Ultimately, through an analysis of the different approaches to the
governance of commercial sex and sexual health, Governing HIV in
China concludes by considering the challenges raised by China's
commitment to the United Nations' vision of ending AIDS as a global
health threat by 2030. This book will be useful for students and
scholars of Social Policy, Public Health Policy and Chinese
Studies.
This volume presents in detail the fundamental theories of linear
regression analysis and diagnosis, as well as the relevant
statistical computing techniques so that readers are able to
actually model the data using the methods and techniques described
in the book. It covers the fundamental theories in linear
regression analysis and is extremely useful for future research in
this area. The examples of regression analysis using the
Statistical Application System (SAS) are also included. This book
is suitable for graduate students who are either majoring in
statistics/biostatistics or using linear regression analysis
substantially in their subject fields.

Tensor network is a fundamental mathematical tool with a huge range
of applications in physics, such as condensed matter physics,
statistic physics, high energy physics, and quantum information
sciences. This open access book aims to explain the tensor network
contraction approaches in a systematic way, from the basic
definitions to the important applications. This book is also useful
to those who apply tensor networks in areas beyond physics, such as
machine learning and the big-data analysis. Tensor network
originates from the numerical renormalization group approach
proposed by K. G. Wilson in 1975. Through a rapid development in
the last two decades, tensor network has become a powerful
numerical tool that can efficiently simulate a wide range of
scientific problems, with particular success in quantum many-body
physics. Varieties of tensor network algorithms have been proposed
for different problems. However, the connections among different
algorithms are not well discussed or reviewed. To fill this gap,
this book explains the fundamental concepts and basic ideas that
connect and/or unify different strategies of the tensor network
contraction algorithms. In addition, some of the recent progresses
in dealing with tensor decomposition techniques and quantum
simulations are also represented in this book to help the readers
to better understand tensor network. This open access book is
intended for graduated students, but can also be used as a
professional book for researchers in the related fields. To
understand most of the contents in the book, only basic knowledge
of quantum mechanics and linear algebra is required. In order to
fully understand some advanced parts, the reader will need to be
familiar with notion of condensed matter physics and quantum
information, that however are not necessary to understand the main
parts of the book. This book is a good source for non-specialists
on quantum physics to understand tensor network algorithms and the
related mathematics.
