This study explores the interrelations between communal memory and
the sense of history in George Eliot's novels by focusing on issues
such as memory and narrative, memory and oblivion, memory and time,
and the interactions between personal, communal and national
memories. Hao Li offers a fresh critical reading informed by major
19th century theories, and argues for a reappraisal of George
Eliot's complex understanding of the dialects of memory and history
- an understanding that both integrates and transcends the
positivist and the romantic historical approaches of her time.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has played an important role in the
treatment of COVID-19 in China. As the first batch of national
Chinese medicine team in China, the authors shared their experience
of treating severe COVID-19 cases with TCM at Jinyintan Hospital in
Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak in China. Twenty severe cases
have been selected and reported in this book. The medical history,
inspection results and treatment rationales have been described in
detail, adequately illustrated with color pictures of the
tongues.The book is organized as follows: The etiology and
pathogenesis from TCM perspectives are comprehensively discussed in
the introduction. Part I includes various theories of different
experts. Part II presents reports of the clinical cases one by one.
This book first develops a framework to understand the curriculum
administration system in China. It describes the historical process
of localizing school-based curricula as well as the significance
and positioning of school-based curricula, and presents in detail
cases of how three types of school-based curriculum were developed
and implemented in Chinese schools. The book outlines for the first
time best practices in school-based curriculum development in
China, i.e. how to make a holistic curriculum plan, how to design a
curriculum, and how to develop a course in the context of a
school-based curriculum. By discussing these three aspects, it
clearly summarizes the strategies and technologies for school-based
curriculum development, which are applicable across contexts.
Although the concept originated outside China, school-based
curriculum development in China differs from that in other
countries both in theory and practice. This book equips readers
with theoretical and practical knowledge of how to develop
school-based curricula and how to generate experiences for new
curriculum development. This timely book is a valuable resource for
researchers, curriculum designers, school teachers and others who
are interested in school-based curriculum development.
This book takes a comprehensive look at the governance and civil
society of Macao, the shadowy mecca of gambling in Asia, and the
reforms, changes, and social movements which are challenging that
reputation today. Thanks to the rapid expansion of the local casino
industry, Macao has experienced spectacular economic growth since
it returned to Chinese rule in 1999. Following double-digit rates
of economic growth between 2002 and 2013, Macao has become one of
the wealthiest regions in Asia, with GDP per capita rising from
USD$14,258 in 2001 to USD$89,333 in 2014. However, as the casino
industry has overshadowed all other sectors of the local economy,
it has not only made Macao's economy highly vulnerable and
difficult to sustain, but has also aroused increasing social
discontent. The authors lay out a comprehensive and well-argued
discussion of the dilemma of the economic monoculture, and
strategies by which to overcome it, in the process producing a book
that will be of profound interest to scholars of greater China,
students of political economy, and travelers to Macao.

Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Lattices by Selective Laser Melting
Additive Manufacturing presents the design, manufacturing,
microstructure, mechanical properties and applications of TPMS
structures fabricated by selective laser additive manufacturing
technology. The title explains these complex and useful structures
based on systematic work in the UK and China. Sections introduce
structure design methods, assess TPMS structures, explain
mathematical their modeling, present the manufacturing,
microstructure, mechanical and fatigue properties of metal uniform
TPMS structures, discuss manufacturing and mechanical responses for
functionally graded TPMS structures, give numerical analysis
methods for predicting the mechanics of uniform and functionally
graded TPMS structures, and more.
Machine Learning for Subsurface Characterization develops and
applies neural networks, random forests, deep learning,
unsupervised learning, Bayesian frameworks, and clustering methods
for subsurface characterization. Machine learning (ML) focusses on
developing computational methods/algorithms that learn to recognize
patterns and quantify functional relationships by processing large
data sets, also referred to as the "big data." Deep learning (DL)
is a subset of machine learning that processes "big data" to
construct numerous layers of abstraction to accomplish the learning
task. DL methods do not require the manual step of
extracting/engineering features; however, it requires us to provide
large amounts of data along with high-performance computing to
obtain reliable results in a timely manner. This reference helps
the engineers, geophysicists, and geoscientists get familiar with
data science and analytics terminology relevant to subsurface
characterization and demonstrates the use of data-driven methods
for outlier detection, geomechanical/electromagnetic
characterization, image analysis, fluid saturation estimation, and
pore-scale characterization in the subsurface.

quantum physics. The authors close in Section 6 by presenting an
outlook on the development of ENZ metamaterials and discussing the
key challenges addressed in future works.
