This book adopts a multi-method and multi-phase approach to
investigate the washback effects of Test for English Majors (TEM)
on program administrators, teachers and students, shedding new
light on TEM reform and the reform of English teaching and learning
in China. TEM, a nationwide test used to measure the language
proficiency of undergraduate English majors in China, is a major
standardized test taken by nearly 400,000 students every year. The
book's key features include: an in-depth discussion of the nature
of washback and a framework for investigating it; a multi-method
and multi-phase approach, employing both the quantitative method of
questionnaire surveys and the qualitative methods of interviews and
classroom observations; large-scale questionnaire surveys conducted
among experts, program administrators, teachers and students, and
involving over 30,000 participants; detailed assessments of TEM's
washback effects on stakeholders' perceptions, classroom teaching
practice, students learning activities, etc.; and essential
insights into testing and teaching reforms.

This book provides a comprehensive review of the latest modelling
developments in flow batteries, as well as some new results and
insights. Flow batteries have long been considered the most
flexible answer to grid scale energy storage, and modelling is a
key component in their development. Recent modelling has moved
beyond macroscopic methods, towards mesoscopic and smaller scales
to select materials and design components. This is important for
both fundamental understanding and the design of new electrode,
catalyst and electrolyte materials. There has also been a recent
explosion in interest in machine learning for electrochemical
energy technologies. The scope of the book includes these latest
developments and is focused on advanced techniques, rather than
traditional modelling paradigms. The aim of this book is to
introduce these concepts and methods to flow battery researcher,
but the book would have a much broader appeal since these methods
also employed in other battery and fuel cell systems and far
beyond. The methods will be described in detail (necessary
fundamental material in Appendices). The book appeals to graduate
students and researchers in academia/industry working in
electrochemical systems, or those working in computational
chemistry/machine learning wishing to seek new application
areas. Â
Has anyone ever seen with their own eyes that the Earth goes around
the sun? Even to this day, no one has. However, 500 and even 2000
years ago, some astronomers managed to point out that this is the
case. At that time, people's range of activities was strictly
confined, the technology and tools used were extremely primitive,
and many of the mathematical methods used today had not been
developed. How did those astronomers make and verify this
discovery? This book explains this exciting demonstration process.
It enables anyone with a basic junior-high-school knowledge of
geometry and a certain degree of spatial imagination to understand
this and other interesting discoveries in the solar system. By
demonstrating this interesting process, the book not only satisfies
readers' curiosity using the simplest mathematics, but also
inspires them to explore the new and unknown world.
