This book focuses on the control and state estimation problems for
dynamical network systems with complex samplings subject to various
network-induced phenomena. It includes a series of control and
state estimation problems tackled under the passive sampling
fashion. Further, it explains the effects from the active sampling
fashion, i.e., event-based sampling is examined on the
control/estimation performance, and novel design technologies are
proposed for controllers/estimators. Simulation results are
provided for better understanding of the proposed control/filtering
methods. By drawing on a variety of theories and methodologies such
as Lyapunov function, linear matrix inequalities, and Kalman
theory, sufficient conditions are derived for guaranteeing the
existence of the desired controllers and estimators, which are
parameterized according to certain matrix inequalities or recursive
matrix equations. Covers recent advances of control and state
estimation for dynamical network systems with complex samplings
from the engineering perspective Systematically introduces the
complex sampling concept, methods, and application for the control
and state estimation Presents unified framework for control and
state estimation problems of dynamical network systems with complex
samplings Exploits a set of the latest techniques such as linear
matrix inequality approach, Vandermonde matrix approach, and trace
derivation approach Explains event-triggered multi-rate fusion
estimator, resilient distributed sampled-data estimator with
predetermined specifications This book is aimed at researchers,
professionals, and graduate students in control engineering and
signal processing.
Social policy reforms driven by profound social changes have been a
popular and pressing topic worldwide in recent years in both policy
and academic circles. In this book, prominent social policy
scholars from Europe, North America, and Asia discuss the history
of social policies, compare different social development models,
and analyze the challenges facing these economies' social policy
reforms. The book provides comprehensive and comparative
perspectives and updated data on social development and social
policy reforms in the world's major economies, and particularly, in
mainland China.
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.
This book investigates a new interactive data visualisation concept
that employs traditional Chinese aesthetics as a basis for
exploring contemporary digital technological contexts. It outlines
the aesthetic approach, which draws on non-Western aesthetic
concepts, specifically the Yijing and Taoist cosmological
principles, and discusses the development of data-based digital
practices within a theoretical framework that combines traditional
Taoist ideas with the digital humanities. The book also offers a
critique of the Western aesthetics underpinning data visualisation,
in particular the Kantian sublime, which prioritises the experience
of power over the natural world viewed at a distance. Taoist
philosophy, in contrast, highlights the integration of the surface
of the body and the surface of nature as a Taoist body, rather than
promoting an opposition of mind and body. The book then explores
the transformational potential between the human body and
technology, particularly in creating an aesthetic approach spanning
traditional Chinese aesthetics and gesture-based technology.
Representing a valuable contribution to the digital humanities, the
book helps readers understand data-based artistic practices, while
also bringing the ideas of traditional Chinese aesthetics to
Western audiences. In addition, it will be of interest to
practitioners in the fields of digital art and data visualisation
seeking new models.

current developments in the field of nonparametric estimation.
This book will examine how universities in China and the US are
responding to markets and increasing global competition. For both
countries, a university education is seen as key to economic
development. While China and the US have two very different
political systems, they represent the two largest economies in the
world and share beliefs that higher education plays an integral
role to economic development. The book will bring together scholars
with multiple perspectives on the topic to create dialogue around
similarities and differences. This book will appeal to students,
scholars, and higher educational administrators in both countries
and other countries as well who are seeking to understand the
strategic change in higher education in both China and the US. ​

""Nonparametric Econometrics" by Li and Racine is a must for any
serious econometrician or statistician who is working on
cutting-edge problems. The theoretical treatment of nonparametric
methods is remarkably complete in its coverage of mainstream and
relatively arcane topics. I particularly like Li and Racine's
general treatment of continuous and discrete regressors and of
specification testing, topics that I have not seen handled in such
a comprehensive fashion. I will certainly use this in my graduate
econometrics courses and in conducting my own research."--Robin
Sickles, Rice University
"Very few studies have tried to apply the nonparametric
techniques to analyze real data. The lack of applications of those
techniques is perhaps attributable to the lack of a good textbook
that explains intuitively how and why those techniques work. This
book by Li and Racine serves both applied researchers and graduate
students. It is written in plain language so that it can be
understood by anyone with basic econometrics but zero knowledge of
nonparametric methods. And it contains enough specifics that
clearly spell out steps to implement those methods."--Chunrong Ai,
University of Florida
"This book represents a very significant contribution to the
field of econometrics. It provides an extremely thorough coverage
of our knowledge in the area of nonparametric and semiparametric
methods as they apply to economic models and economic data. And it
makes accessible, for the first time, a body of relatively new
material relating to discrete and 'mixed' data. There is a good
balance of theoretical material and applications. Apart from
serving as a superb teaching text in graduate-level courseswhere
the students have a strong econometrics/statistics preparation, I
believe this book will become a must-have reference resource for
many researchers."--David E. Giles, University of Victoria
Soil Nematodes of Grasslands in Northern China presents research on
China's temperate grasslands, providing the findings and results of
a large field survey along a transect across the northern temperate
grassland. It examines nematode distribution patterns along the
transect from trophic group and family, to genus level, also
evaluating their relationship with climatic conditions, plant
biomass and soil parameters. The book then presents detailed
taxonomy information of nematodes to genus or species level,
providing keen insights into nematode diversity along the grassland
transect in north China. Final sections review the advances and
perspectives for the research of soil ecology on soil nematodes in
China, including recent major discoveries of soil microbial
diversity and eco-function during this field survey. This work will
help researchers predict the impact of global change drivers on
below ground soil biota and better understand the functioning and
services they provide in terrestrial ecosystems.
Nowadays in Chinese stock market, More and more quantitative
investment-based fund and index fund companies are also springing
up. Up to July,2010, there are 9 quantitative funds(active
quantitative investment) and 12 index funds (passive quantitative
investment) in Chinese A-Share Stock Exchange Market and Financial
Engineering is becoming more popular in China. That is what
stimulates me to describe the application of quantitative
investment in Chinese stock market. In my book, I try to compare
literal review of statistical ways for stock selection and also
portfolio-construction computerized methodology and introduce my
own stock selection and portfolio construction model (basing on
Excel VBA, Matlab, SPSS).
Capacitors are passive electrical components that store energy in
an electric field. Applications include electric power
conditioning, signal processing, motor starting, and energy
storage. The maximum charge a capacitor can hold largely depends on
the dielectric material inside. That material is the enabler for
the performance. Ongoing development in fields such as high-power
electronics, renewable energy, hybrid electric vehicles and
electric aircraft, is posing an urgent need for more advanced
electrostatic capacitor technology. This book for researchers in
industry and academia provides an overview of key dielectric
materials for capacitor technology. It covers preparation and
characterization of state-of-the art dielectric materials including
ceramics, polymers and polymer nanocomposites, for the most popular
applications including energy storage, microwave communication and
multi-layer ceramic capacitors. The book begins with an
introduction to electrostatic capacitor technology, then goes on to
cover the following topics: techniques for capacitor dielectrics
characterization; dielectric polymers and dielectric metamaterials
for high energy capacitors; polymer/nanofiller composites;
high-temperature polymer-based dielectrics for electrostatic energy
storage; design and simulations of capacitor dielectrics by
phase-field computations; rational design on polymer dielectrics;
inorganic dielectrics for high-energy-density capacitors; ceramic
dielectrics for microwave communication; ceramic dielectrics for
MLCCs; and finally two chapters on future prospects for polymers
and ceramics.
