This enlightening book provides the first systematic introduction to, and exploration of, the emerging system of industrial relations in China, and draws on the authors' extensive research and direct involvement in the developments taking place. The authors argue that there are both unifying and fragmenting elements to the ongoing development of industrial relations, but overall it is one in which the state continues to maintain a major, and direct, influence. Divisions between workers and managers may be escalating with increased open conflicts, but this book reveals that the picture is far more complex and contradictory than to assume that the solution is convergence with western style industrial relations systems. They conclude that industrial relations institutions and processes still act within a political context and with the guiding hand of the Chinese Communist party. Industrial Relations in China draws on up-to-date material and will ensure the book's appeal to industrial relations and Chinese scholars. It will also appeal to a wider audience of Asian labour and development studies scholars.

The early 21st century marks a new era in space exploration. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States, The European Space Agency (ESA), as well as space agencies of Japan, China, India, and other countries have sent their probes to the Moon, Mars, and other planets in the solar system. Planetary Remote Sensing and Mapping introduces original research and new developments in the areas of planetary remote sensing, photogrammetry, mapping, GIS, and planetary science resulting from the recent space exploration missions. Topics covered include: Reference systems of planetary bodies Planetary exploration missions and sensors Geometric information extraction from planetary remote sensing data Feature information extraction from planetary remote sensing data Planetary remote sensing data fusion Planetary data management and presentation Planetary Remote Sensing and Mapping will serve scientists and professionals working in the planetary remote sensing and mapping areas, as well as planetary probe designers, engineers, and planetary geologists and geophysicists. It also provides useful reading material for university teachers and students in the broader areas of remote sensing, photogrammetry, cartography, GIS, and geodesy.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th Chinese Conference on Advances in Image and Graphics Technologies, IGTA 2015, held in Beijing, China, in June 2015. The 50 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 138 submissions. They provide a forum for sharing new aspects of the progresses in the areas of image processing technology, image analysis und understanding, computer vision and pattern recognition, big data mining, computer graphics and VR, image technology application.

This book presents the proceedings of the 9th Asian South Pacific Association of Sport Psychology International Congress (ASPASP) 2022, Kuching, Malaysia, which entails the different sporting innovation themes, namely, Applied Sport and Social Psychology, Health and Exercise, Motor Control and Learning, Counselling and Clinical Psychology, Biomechanics, Data Mining and Machine Learning in Sports amongst others. It presents the state-of-the-art technological advancements towards the aforesaid themes and provides a platform to shape the future direction of sport science, specifically in the field sports and exercise psychology.  ​

Semiconductor Spintronics, as an emerging research discipline and an important advanced field in physics, has developed quickly and obtained fruitful results in recent decades. This volume is the first monograph summarizing the physical foundation and the experimental results obtained in this field. With the culmination of the authors' extensive working experiences, this book presents the developing history of semiconductor spintronics, its basic concepts and theories, experimental results, and the prospected future development. This unique book intends to provide a systematic and modern foundation for semiconductor spintronics aimed at researchers, professors, post-doctorates, and graduate students, and to help them master the overall knowledge of spintronics.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 1998 im Fachbereich Touristik / Tourismus, Note: 1,5, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitat Bonn (Unbekannt), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Zusammenfassung: Die Finanzmetropole Hongkong verspricht bereits seit langem ein unvergessliches Reiseerlebnis fur die Besucher. Die glanzenden, architektonisch gebauten Wolkenkratzer, das Einkaufsparadies, das Schlaraffenland und ein Ort, wo die Kultur von Ost und West sich trifft, all dies fasziniert den Touristen dermassen, dass sie immer wieder nach Hongkong zuruckkehren. Die Tourismuseinnahmen sind daher eine bedeutende Devisenquelle fur Hongkongs Wirtschaft. Das Jahr 1997 hatte fur Hongkong eine schwerwiegende Bedeutung. Die Ubergabe der Souveranitat Hongkongs an die VR China im Juli fuhrte zu vielen Bedenken einer Vielzahl von Menschen. Dieses grosse Ereignis lockte jedoch zahlreiche Besucher nach Hongkong, um die Ubergabe live an Ort und Stelle mitzuerleben. Doch die darauffolgenden Krisen in Asien verursachten einen Ruckgang der Besucherzahlen. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll Aufschluss daruber geben, wie der Tourismus sich in Hongkong entwickelt hat, welche Fragen im Jahre der Ubergabe auftauchten und wie die Zukunft des Tourismus aussehen mag. Dieses Thema ist ziemlich aktuell, so dass die Medien aufmerksam verfolgt werden mussten, da ich hauptsachlich mich auf Veroffentlichungen und Bekanntmachungen jungeren Datums bezog und allgemeine Veroffentlichungen uber den Tourismus in deutscher Sprache noch recht wenig vorhanden sind. Sehr freundlich gaben mir der Fremdenverkehrsverband Hong Kong Tourist Association und das Hong Kong Trade and Development Centre Informationsmaterial des neuesten Standes. Chinesische und englische Literatur aus der VR China und Hongkong wurden herangezogen sowie Zeitschriften aus Hongkong, der VR China und Deutschland. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist in drei Teile gegliedert. Sie beginnt mit der Ubersetzung, die aus zwei Texten besteht. Der erste Text stammt
