'While there is a wealth of writing on Sino-US relations and a
growing body of work on interactions between Europe and China, it
is much rarer to find studies that triangulate these different sets
of relationships. Through a series of issue-based case studies,
this volume unpacks the different layers of this triangular
relationship, showing where interests coincide and diverge. The
result is not a single relationship, but a patchwork of different
sets of power configurations depending on the issue at hand.' -
Shaun Breslin, University of Warwick, UK 'This book presents a
novel, remarkably informative analysis of the implications of the
rise of China in world politics and Sino-US-EU relations in
different contexts. Its triangular approach and focus on the
emerging post-financial crisis period ensure that it will help to
set the agenda for future research on the G2 or G3 in a world of
'messy multilateralism'. It is certain to be essential reading for
anyone interested in China or EU-US-China relations.' - Francis
Snyder, Peking University School of Transnational Law, China, LSE,
UK and College of Europe, Belgium The interaction between the EU,
the US and China is of particular importance to the formation of
the international order in the 21st century. This book focuses on
the latest developments and examines how critical the interactions
between these three players are to future global governance. Jing
Men, Wei Shen and their carefully selected contributors explore how
China's ascending role is contrasted with the seemingly declining
influence of the US and the EU, and challenges the existing power
configuration in the global order. They examine how China's growth
and future development trajectory will be a key factor, and why it
is still hesitant to the responsibilities it should assume in
global governance. The book argues that in order to fully construct
a working and productive triangle relationship between the EU, the
US and China, thus establishing an effective political and economic
global leadership, both economic and trade cooperation, and more
importantly, strategic thinking on global responsibilities should
be developed among the three players. This book will appeal to
researchers, professors and students of international and
comparative politics, as well as international relations. It will
also be of interest to officials working within international
organizations or national ministries, in addition to anyone who has
a general interest in international affairs. Contributors: S.
Finamore, D.-Y. Kao, G. Marlier, J. Men, M. Otero-Iglesias, R.

This book focuses on how instruction affects English learners' use
of Theme and thematic progression (thematic organization). While
thematic organization in learner English has been extensively
studied, little research has been done to investigate the effects
of instruction on the use of Theme and thematic progression.
Adopting a Systemic Functional Grammar approach, this study
explores how a ten-week instruction on thematic organization
affects Chinese college students' use of Theme and thematic
progression by comparing their English essays before and after the
instruction, with native-speaker essays as the research baseline.
Second-language acquisition researchers, curriculum developers and
foreign language teachers will find this book useful as it not only
presents a clear and detailed report of how Chinese college
students learn to make better thematic choices, but also provides a
well-developed instructional package on Theme and thematic
progression.
This book explores the dynamics and vibration properties of
gearboxes, with a focus on geared rotor systems. It discusses
mechanical theories, finite-element based simulations, experimental
measurements and vibration signal processing techniques. It
introduces the vibration-resonance calculation method for the
geared rotor system in wind turbines and load sharing of the
planetary gear train, and offers a method for calculating the
vibrations of geared rotor systems under either internal
excitations from gear sets or external loads transferred from wind
loads. It also defines and elaborates on parameter optimization for
planetary gear systems based on the torsional dynamics of
wind-turbine geared rotor systems. Moreover, it describes
experimental measurements of vibrations on the wind-turbine gearbox
performed on the test rig and on site, and analyzes the vibration
signals of different testing points, showing them in both time and
frequency domains. Lastly, it lists the gear coupling frequencies
and fault characteristic frequencies from the vibrations of the
gearbox housing. The technologies and results presented are
valuable resources for use in dynamic design, vibration prediction
and analysis of gearboxes and geared rotor systems in wind turbines
as well as many other machines.
