Entrepreneurship is hot. China is hot. Combining these two concepts
could therefore be a dangerous act, as it may cause overheating.
Chinese entrepreneurs are indeed the subject of a rapidly growing
body of literature, academic and popular. However, the bulk of it
tends to focus on a few aspects. There are the biographies of
'famous' entrepreneurs. While informative, these are usually of a
non-academic nature. Academic studies tend to focus on the
political and economic environment in which present day Chinese
entrepreneurs have to operate. Both types of publications slight
the entrepreneurial identity. This study aims at filling this gap
with its core question: why do some people become entrepreneurs?
The authors have analysed the life stories of a number of Chinese
private entrepreneurs to reveal how the entrepreneurial identity of
each of them has emerged at the cross section of an number of other
identities. This book therefore contributes to a better
understanding of Chinese entrepreneurship and the study of
entrepreneurship in general.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International
Conference on Intelligence Science and Big DataEngineering, IScIDE
2018, held in Lanzhou, China, in August 2018.The 59 full papers
presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from
121 submissions.They are grouped in topical sections on robots and
intelligent systems; statistics and learning; deep learning;
objects and language; classification and clustering; imaging; and
biomedical signal processing.
This book provides the first systematic study of facial kinship
verification, a new research topic in biometrics. It presents three
key aspects of facial kinship verification: 1) feature learning for
kinship verification, 2) metric learning for kinship verification,
and 3) video-based kinship verification, and reviews
state-of-the-art research findings on facial kinship verification.
Many of the feature-learning and metric-learning methods presented
in this book can also be easily applied for other face analysis
tasks, e.g., face recognition, facial expression recognition,
facial age estimation and gender classification. Further, it is a
valuable resource for researchers working on other computer vision
and pattern recognition topics such as feature-learning-based and
metric-learning-based visual analysis.

The behaviour of systems occurring in real life is often modelled
by partial differential equations. This book investigates how a
user or observer can influence the behaviour of such systems
mathematically and computationally. A thorough mathematical
analysis of controllability problems is combined with a detailed
investigation of methods used to solve them numerically, these
methods being validated by the results of numerical experiments. In
Part I of the book the authors discuss the mathematics and numerics
relating to the controllability of systems modelled by linear and
non-linear diffusion equations; Part II is dedicated to the
controllability of vibrating systems, typical ones being those
modelled by linear wave equations; finally, Part III covers flow
control for systems governed by the Navier-Stokes equations
modelling incompressible viscous flow. The book is accessible to
graduate students in applied and computational mathematics,
engineering and physics; it will also be of use to more advanced
practitioners.

This book presents latest research results on synthesis and
application of metallic nanomaterials. Fabrication techniques,
analytic properties, as well as theoretical aspects are discussed.
Size- and shape-controlled synthesis of silver, gold, copper,
ruthenium, tellurium, selenium and palladium nanoparticles are
reviewed. Further topics are the synthesis from microplasma and
shape-control for electrocatalytic applications.
