As a rising superpower and economy, China and the Chinese society
have attracted the attention of the world. However, because of the
language and cultural barrier, it is difficult for foreign
academics and the foreign public to grasp what is happening within
Chinese society. This is particularly the case if a foreign
audience wishes to understand the Chinese public and how social
justice plays out in China. Cases on Social Justice in China and
Perspectives on Chinese Brands proposes an objective view of the
effect that social justice and online public debates had on brands
by describing and reporting the real situation in China where
brands faced a public outcry after a controversial event and by
considering how the brands were affected. Covering key topics such
as brand activity, social media, boycotts, vulgar marketing, and
salary disputes, this reference work is ideal for government
officials, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians,
practitioners, instructors, and students.
Electromagnetic waves have long been used in medical settings for
diagnostic purposes, such as for the detection of cancerous
tissues, stroke events or cardiovascular risk, as the behaviour of
the waves upon meeting their target gives pertinent information for
diagnostic and imaging purposes. This edited book presents advances
in the use of electromagnetic waves and antennas in healthcare
settings, both as diagnostic tools (such as radar-based imaging,
holographic microwave imaging, thermoacoustic imaging systems), and
therapeutic interventions (such as microwave ablation therapies for
cancer). Written by an international team of biomedical engineering
researchers, it discusses all aspects related to the design and
modelling of electromagnetic imaging techniques, electromagnetic
devices, wireless implants, wearable systems and wireless sensor
networks and in vitro and in vivo testing. Design issues for
wearable antennas, wearable sensors, magnetic coils and coil array
issues are explored and biomedical applications such as cancer
detection, stoke event detection, GI diagnostics, and
cardiovascular risk prediction are discussed. The book also
explores scattering problems of electromagnetic waves between
different tissues, and how these complex scattering problems can be
resolved. This book will be of interest to researchers and
engineers in the electromagnetic wave community, those in antenna
research, biomedical engineering and related fields.

The Lily Theater is a strikingly original debut novel-an international literary sensation-based on the author's experience growing up in China during the Cultural Revolution.
When twelve-year-old Lian Shui accompanies her mother to reeducation camp, no one imagines that Lian will receive an education. But detained along with her mother are some of China's greatest thinkers and they take an interest in young Lian. She in turn delivers lectures of her own to the creatures inhabiting a pond she dubs "The Lily Theater." These ideas inform her life when she returns to school and reunites with her best friend Kim, a peasant girl through whom Lian ultimately learns about the painful failings of Mao's teachings-and of life.
This monograph offers comprehensive descriptions of recent
investigations on the development and biomedical applications of
electromagnetic (EM) induction imaging which enables scientists and
engineers to use EM imaging techniques to develop medical
diagnostic and radio-therapy instruments. This book focuses on the
following areas: Chapter 1 reviews various medical screening and
sensing approaches for cancer detection. Chapter 2 summaries
several EM induction imaging techniques, including theory,
apparatus, medical applications, and challenges. Chapter 3
introduces a new two dimensional (2D) holographic electromagnetic
induction (HEI) imaging approach and measurement apparatus. Chapter
4 presents the development of three dimensional (3D) HEI approach
and its feasibility for brain stroke detection. Chapter 5 aims to
apply a new compressive sensing technique to solve the conventional
EM imaging such as microwave imaging problems including
super-resolution and fusion of images. Chapter 6 reports the
development of a radio frequency antenna for microwave liver tumor
ablation. Chapter 7 concludes the book and discussions of future
research directions of EM induction imaging-based techniques.
This monograph offers comprehensive descriptions of the most
important principles so far proposed for far-field holographic

diagnostic purposes in a wide range of applications. This hands-on
resource features: A review of the existing medical imaging
methods-including theory, apparatus and challenges, introducing
some new medical imaging techniques. A review of the existing
microwave imaging techniques-including theory, apparatus, medical
applications and challenges, written from an engineering
perspective and with notations. Currently proposed holographic
microwave imaging technique-including reconstruction procedures and
imaging systems and apparatus-enabling the reader to use microwaves
for diagnostic purposes in a wide range of applications. A
discussion of practical applications with detailed descriptions and
discussions of several specific examples (e.g., imaging dielectric
object, small inclusion detection, and medical applications). A
conclusion of the proposed holographic microwave imaging technique
and discussions of future research directions.
