investigation, pollution source intensity evaluation and risk
assessment approaches used at three main types of
groundwater-contaminated sites: municipal domestic waste landfills,
hazardous waste landfills and oil-contaminated sites. In addition,
typical contaminated sites throughout China are examined to
demonstrate how these approaches can be applied for their
investigation, assessment and restoration. By reading this book,
readers will gain a deeper understanding of the restoration and
management of typical groundwater-contaminated sites.
Ethnic tourism has emerged as a means that is employed by many
countries to facilitate economic and cultural development and to
assist in the preservation of ethnic heritage. However, while
ethnic tourism has the potential to bring economic and social
benefits it can also significantly impact traditional cultures,
ways of life and the sense of identity of ethnic groups. There is
growing concern in many places about how to balance the use of
ethnicity as a tourist attraction with the protection of minority
cultures and the promotion of ethnic pride. Despite the fact that a
substantial literature is devoted to the impacts of ethnic tourism,
little research has been done on how to plan ethnic tourism
attractions or to manage community impacts of tourism. This book
addresses the need for more research on planning for ethnic tourism
by exploring the status and enhancement of planning strategies for
ethnic tourism development. The book develops the case of a
well-known ethnic tourist destination in China -Xishuangbanna,
Yunnan. It analyzes how ethnic tourism has been planned and
developed at the study site and examines associated socio-cultural
and planning issues. The authors evaluate the perspectives of four
key stakeholder groups (the government, tourism entrepreneurs,
ethnic minorities and tourists) on ethnic tourism through on-site
observation, interviews with government officials, planners and
tourism entrepreneurs, surveys of tourists and ethnic minority
people, and evaluation of government policies, plans and
statistics. This book is unique in its emphasis on planning and in
its focus on China, rapidly emerging as a major player in tourism,
with applications for tourism around the world.

Singapore has faced many pandemics over the centuries, from plague,
smallpox and cholera to influenza and novel coronaviruses. By
examining how different governments responded, this book considers
what we can learn from their experiences. Public health strategies
in the city-state were often affected by issues of ethnicity and
class, as well as failure to take heed of key learnings from
previous outbreaks. Pandemics are a recurrent and normal feature of
the human experience. Alongside medical innovation and
evidence-based policymaking, the study of history is also crucial
in preparing for future pandemics.
The Formation of Chinese Art Cinema: 1990-2003 examines the
development of Chinese art film in the People's Republic of China
from 1990, when the first Sixth Generation film Mama was released,
to 2003, when authorities acknowledged the legitimacy of
underground filmmakers. Through an exploration of the production
and consecration mechanisms of the new art wave and its
representative styles, this book argues that the art wave of the
1990s fundamentally defined Chinese art cinema. In particular, this
vital art wave was not enabled by democratic liberalism, but by the
specific industrial development, in which the film system
transitioned from Socialist propaganda into a commercialized
entity. Allowing Chinese art film to grow but at the same time
denying its legitimacy, this paradoxical transition process shaped
Chinese art film's institutional and aesthetical alternative
positioning, which eventually helped consolidate the art wave into
art cinema. Ultimately, this book is a history of the Chinese
portion of global art cinema, which also reveals the complex
Chinese cultural experiences during the Reform Era.

The book explores emerging themes, concepts, and issues in ethnic
tourism, through examination of theoretical underpinnings and
empirical research in various ethnic destinations worldwide. It
encapsulates cultural, environmental, and economic dimensions of
ethnic tourism, which is a force of change in many ethnic
communities and suggests means through which local benefits can be
enhanced and costs reduced. This book presents a range of case
studies from diverse well-known ethnic destinations which reveal
the various outcomes and changes engendered by ethnic tourism, such
as the commodification of ethnic culture, the exploitation of
minority peoples by outsiders, and the impact of wider forces of
modernization and national integration policies. It summarizes what
has been done so far and suggests initiatives to increase the
contribution of tourism to the economic development and quality of
life of ethnic communities. It brings together a diversity of
perspectives that are not currently readily available in one
location. The book will appeal to students, and scholars interested
in social sciences, tourism studies, geography, anthropology,
sociology and economics, as well as in applied disciplines such as
planning. It addresses academic and professional audiences that are
interested in tourism and its consequences, as well as those who

Through a rich account of tuberculosis in Singapore from the
mid-nineteenth century to the present day, this book charts the
relationship between disease, society and the state, outlining the
struggles of colonial and post-colonial governments to cope with
widespread disease and to establish effective public health
programmes and institutions. Beginning in the nineteenth century
when British colonial administrators viewed tuberculosis as a
racial problem linked to the poverty, housing and insanitary habits
of the Chinese working class, the book goes on to examine the
ambitious medical and urban improvement initiatives of the
returning British colonial government after the Second World War.
It then considers the continuation and growth of these schemes in
the post-colonial period and explores the most recent developments
which include combating the resurgence of TB and the rise of
antimicrobial resistance.
The multiple signal demixing and parameter estimation problems that
result from the impacts of background noise and interference are
issues that are frequently encountered in the fields of radar,
sonar, communications, and navigation. Research in the signal
processing and control fields has always focused on improving the
estimation performance of parameter estimation methods at low SNR
and maintaining the robustness of estimations in the presence of
model errors. This book presents a universal and robust relaxation
estimation method (RELAX), and introduces its basic principles and
applications in the fields of classical line spectrum estimation,
time of delay estimation, DOA estimation, and radar target imaging.
This information is explained comprehensively and in great detail,
and uses metaphors pertaining to romantic relationships to
visualize the basic problems of parameter estimation, the basic
principles of the five types of classical parameter estimation
methods, and the relationships between these principles. The book
serves as a reference for scientists and technologists in the
fields of signal processing and control, while also providing
relevant information for graduate students in the related fields.
Our book gives the complex counterpart of Klein's classic book on
the icosahedron. We show that the following four apparently
disjoint theories: the symmetries of the Hessian polyhedra
(geometry), the resolution of some system of algebraic equations
(algebra), the system of partial differential equations of Appell
hypergeometric functions (analysis) and the modular equation of
Picard modular functions (arithmetic) are in fact dominated by the
structure of a single object, the Hessian group
$mathfrak{G}'_{216}$. It provides another beautiful example on the
fundamental unity of mathematics.
