This book introduces readers to a range of jamming principles and techniques for new radars, combining a wealth of theoretical analyses, test data, calculations, and charts. With rapid advances in military radar technology, new types of radar are constantly emerging. Therefore, there is an urgent need to carry out effective research on these new radars and to develop corresponding jamming techniques. The main topics covered include development of radar and radar countermeasures; jamming techniques for synthetic aperture radar; jamming techniques for pulse compression radar; jamming techniques for pulse Doppler radar; general jamming techniques for various radars; analysis and calculation of the effective jamming suppression zone and jamming exposure zone for radars installed on different platforms; jamming techniques for phased array radar; jamming techniques for dual (multiple) static radar; and solutions for high equivalent radiation power, high reception sensitivity, and transceiver isolation in jammer design.

Medicinal Plants: Chemistry, Biology and Omics reviews the phytochemistry, chemotaxonomy, molecular biology, and phylogeny of selected medicinal plant tribes and genera, and their relevance to drug efficacy. Medicinal plants provide a myriad of pharmaceutically active components, which have been commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine and worldwide for thousands of years. Increasing interest in plant-based medicinal resources has led to additional discoveries of many novel compounds, in various angiosperm and gymnosperm species, and investigations on their chemotaxonomy, molecular phylogeny and pharmacology. Chapters in this book explore the interrelationship within traditional Chinese medicinal plant groups and between Chinese species and species outside of China. Chapters also discuss the incongruence between chemotaxonomy and molecular phylogeny, concluding with chapters on systems biology and "-omics" technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), and how they will play an increasingly important role in future pharmaceutical research.

Taijiquan is a martial art of spring boxing. Taiji spring is adept to detect the motion of the opponent, is supple and stable in defense, and is hurling effective in offense. Taiji spring boxing materializes the ethic of Taijiquan. The spring introduces a cushion between the two opponents in a collision, therefore reducing the possibility of local deformation and prevents anyone from getting hurt. To achieve the art of spring boxing is to cultivate relaxation and nimbleness. In turn the relaxation and nimbleness help to open the meridian, therefore allowing the Qi and blood to move freely. It is an effective self-cultivation method. The strategies of Taijiquan are connecting, linking, sticking, and following. The fighting techniques of Taijiquan are bouncing, diverting, squeezing, pressing, grabbing, lateraling, elbowing, and crushing. While the footworks of Taijiquan are forward, backward, leftward, rightward, and balancing. All strategies, techniques, and motions follow the basic mechanical principles. Taiji motions maintain equilibrium at every moment, and are complementary between the virtual and actual. Taijiquan uses explosive or sequential strength to throw the opponent off balance.

Gem Taijiquan contains the refined moves of the traditional Yang's routine. It's steps are compacted and can be performed indoor or outdoor. The gesture graciously stretches the limbs of the body. The martial art techniques in Gem Taijiquan are strong but embedded in gentleness. The routine is easy to learn, and fun to perfect. The solo portion is suitable for young and senior alike. Regularly practicing Gem Taijiquan helps to meditate the mind, relaxes the body, maintains balance, promotes qi, therefore prolong life, curing sickness, amplifying health, and self-cultivating the practitioner. Deep breathing massages the inner organs, generates qi, and qi overflow meridian and whole body. Breathing can be synchronized with the moves. The combination of inner organ massaging and physical body motion multiplies the benefit of the exercise. Focus the mind to the implementation of the moves. Visualize the moves before and during the action, while imagining the defensive and offensive mechanisms during the moves. Doing this will help coordinate sprit to the mind, the mind guides qi, and qi matches the force of the delivery.

Taiji Art of Relaxation and Breathing (TARB) is a self-cultivating exercise as well as a warm-up exercise for Taijiquan. As a self-cultivating exercise, TARB can be practiced independently. Recommend doing TARB at least one time every day. Doing TARB provides fundamentals of relaxation, gravitation, balance, and qi soaring, promoting longevity, curing chronic illness, and improving health. As a warm-up exercise, TARB trains the practitioners to intentionally master the above fundamentals throughout Taijiquan solo and/or defense-offense applications.
