This volume discusses Korea’s role as a middle power in the midst
of the 21st century global power shift. Focusing on Korea’s
middle power diplomacy from the perspective of coalition building,
the book discusses structural factors that shape middle power
strategy and diplomacy. Written by leading Korean researchers, the
chapters use diverse methodologies to offer a range of perspectives
on Korea’s place in the developing global order. Topics discussed
include South Korea’s approach to technology policy in the midst
of US-China cyber competition, the East Asian ‘Thucydides
Trap’, MITKA and middle power diplomacy, Korea’s role in the
South China Sea dispute, and South Korean cyber security. Providing
a unique treatment of middle power opportunities and motivations in
the East Asia region, this volume will be of interest to students
and scholars of international relations, Asian politics, diplomacy,
security studies, and global governance.

Inspired by the remarkable locomotion capabilities illustrated by
animals across land, sea and air, robotics engineers have strived
for decades to achieve similar dynamic locomotion capabilities in
legged machines. Learning from animals' compliant structures and
ways of utilizing them, engineers have developed numerous novel
mechanisms that allow for more dynamic, more efficient legged
systems. These newly emerging robotic systems possess
distinguishing mechanical characteristics in contrast to
manufacturing robots in factories and pave the way for a new era of
mobile robots to serve our society. Realizing the full capabilities
of these new legged robots is a multi-factorial research problem,
requiring coordinated advances in design, control, perception,
state estimation, navigation and other areas. Design of Dynamic
Legged Robots focuses on the mechanical design of legged robots. It
introduces the topic by looking at the history of legged robots,
taking us up to the dynamic legged machines that are today pushing
the boundaries of speed and performance through advances in
materials, design, and control. It goes on to discuss some of the
main challenges to actuator design in legged robots and discusses a
recently developed technology called proprioceptive actuators in
order to meet the needs of today's legged machines. It proceeds to
discuss philosophical perspectives on designing for energetic
efficiency, a critical aspect of legged robot design. The
penultimate chapter discusses trends in leg design and presents a
case study using principles from observations in biology to design
a leg for the MIT Cheetah robot, and concludes with a summary of
future directions and applications.
This book offers an introduction to wavelet theory and provides the
essence of wavelet analysis - including Fourier analysis and
spectral analysis; the maximum overlap discrete wavelet transform;
wavelet variance, covariance, and correlation - in a unified and
friendly manner. It aims to bridge the gap between theory and
practice by presenting substantial applications of wavelets in
economics and finance.This book is the first to provide a
comprehensive application of wavelet analysis to financial markets,
covering new frontier issues in empirical finance and economics.
The first chapter of this unique text starts with a description of
the key features and applications of wavelets. After an overview of
wavelet analysis, successive chapters rigorously examine the
various economic and financial topics and issues that stimulate
academic and professional research, including equity, interest
swaps, hedges and futures, foreign exchanges, financial asset
pricing, and mutual fund markets.This detail-oriented text is
descriptive and designed purely for academic researchers and
financial practitioners. It assumes no prior knowledge of
econometrics and covers important topics such as portfolio asset
allocation, asset pricing, hedging strategies, new risk measures,
and mutual fund performance. Its accessible presentation is also
suitable for post-graduates in a variety of disciplines - applied
economics, financial engineering, international finance, financial
econometrics, and fund management. To facilitate the subject of
wavelets, sophisticated proofs and mathematics are avoided as much
as possible when applying the wavelet multiscaling method. To
enhance the reader's understanding in practical applications of the
wavelet multiscaling method, this book provides sample programming
instruction backed by Matlab wavelet code.
