This book integrates the analyses of organic carbon and carbonate
accumulation in soil and lake sediment in a typical arid region of
China that has experienced significant climate and land-use
changes. It demonstrates that carbonate accumulation greatly
exceeds organic carbon in both soil and sediment. It also shows
that intensive cropping with sound land management in the arid land
not only increases soil organic carbon stock, but also enhances
accumulation of soil carbonate, particularly in subsoils. Carbon
accumulation in the lake sediment increased between 1950 and 2000,
after which it declined, and the authors explore how human activity
and climate change may have caused the changes in carbon burial in
the lake sediment. This book is of interest to researchers in a
number of fields such as soil science, limnology and global change,
as well as to the policy-makers.

Development Zones in Asian Borderlands maps the nexus between
global capital flows, national economic policies, infrastructural
connectivity, migration, and aspirations for modernity in the
borderlands of South and South-East Asia. In doing so, it
demonstrates how these are transforming borderlands from remote,
peripheral backyards to front-yards of economic development and
state-building. Development zones encapsulate the networks,
institutions, politics and processes specific to enclave
development, and offer a new analytical framework for thinking
about borderlands; namely, as sites of capital accumulation,
territorialisation and socio-spatial changes.
This book focuses on the performance optimization of fault
diagnosis methods for power systems including both model-driven
ones, such as the linear parameter varying algorithm, and
data-driven ones, such as random matrix theory. Studies on fault
diagnosis of power systems have long been the focus of electrical
engineers and scientists. Pursuing a holistic approach to improve
the accuracy and efficiency of existing methods, the underlying
concepts toward several algorithms are introduced and then further
applied in various situations for fault diagnosis of power systems
in this book. The primary audience for the book would be the
scholars and graduate students whose research topics including the
control theory, applied mathematics, fault detection, and so on.
Money and Moralities in Contemporary Asia provides original,
nuanced insights into social meanings of money and wealth in moral
economies of Asia. Through case studies from South and Southeast
Asia, the collection sheds important light on how the new
mobilities and wealth created by neoliberal globalization transform
people's ways of life, notions of personhood, and their meaning
making of the world. It highlights the moral dilemmas and anxieties
emerging from the profound socio-economic transformations that are
taking place across the region and deepens our understanding of
local cultures as well as the inner contradictions of global
capital in Asian contexts. With rich ethnographic insights and a
diverse range of empirical contexts, chapters in this volume reveal
multifaceted complexities and contradictions in the relationship
between money and moralities. Money, they affirm, is not an
impersonal, objective economic instrument with homogenizing powers
but a culturally constructed and socially mediated currency in
which meanings are constantly contested and re-negotiated across
time and space.
The processing of signals or data is one of the cores of the
information chain from production to application. More and more
signals should be processed digitally in the big data era. Rapid
and massive advances in digital signal processing (DSP) technology
have been achieved over the past several decades. DSP technology
revolutionized the electronics and opto-electronics industries. DSP
technology is almost an all-embracing field and is advancing with
each passing day. The classical application areas of DSP such as
telecommunications, speech and image processing continue to be the
main contributor to its growth. This book compiles cutting-edge
research in several elementary and advanced topics in DSP, focusing
on areas such as filter design algorithms, hardware/software
techniques, and their applications. This book has a special
emphasis on the modeling and design of optical communication
filters. Use of well-developed DSP techniques and algorithms to
design the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) devices is a wise
use of existing technology. The authors also share several of their
thoughts concerning the practical DSP systems. The DSP theory and
hardware for obscured object identification, and its applications
in the intelligent baggage scanners are introduced systematically.
This book will be helpful for students, researchers and engineers
in the DSP fields to understand the basic knowledge and techniques
of software, hardware, devices, and systems.
