Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) stands for an intriguing
phenomenon in which a series of non-emissive molecules in solutions
are induced to emit strongly in the aggregate or solid state. The
concept of AIE was first coined by author Ben Zhong Tang in 2001,
when he and his co-workers serendipitously discovered that
1-methyl-1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenylsilole was almost non-emissive in
ethanol solution but became extremely bright in water-ethanol
mixtures. Over the past 15 years, AIE has grown into a research
field with high visibility and broad impact across both science and
technology. Aggregation-Induced Emission: Materials and
Applications summarizes the recent advances in AIE research,
ranging from fundamentals, such as design, synthesis, and optical
properties of AIE-active molecules, to mechanism studies supported
by modeling and experimental investigations, and further to
promising applications in the fields of energy, environment, and
biology. The topics covered in Volume 2 include: AIE polymers;
AIE-induced chirogenesis; Room-temperature phosphorescent AIE
molecules; Liquid crystalline AIE molecules; AIE materials for
energy devices; New chemo- and biosensors with AIE molecules; Cell
structure and function imaging with AIE molecules; and AIE
materials in drug delivery and therapy.

benefit sharing.
DESPERATE MEASURES
After a close call with a deadly epidemic and an attempt on the
emperor's life, the imperial court of Qudu is in turmoil. The emperor
is determined to hold someone among the noble clans accountable, a
desire Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye are prepared to use to their
political advantage. The chaos gives them another opportunity as
well--a chance to investigate the suspected mastermind behind the fall
of Zhongbo five years ago.
Yet as they delve deeper into the past, new dangers emerge in the
present. For every move they make, their unseen adversary seems always
a step ahead, driving them into a trap from which there is no way out.
As Shen Zechuan and Xiao Chiye's lives grow more and more entwined,
both find they are increasingly reliant on each other. But when Xiao
Chiye extends a hand in their most desperate hour, will Shen Zechuan
take it?
Money is the instrument of commerce and a measure of value.
Globalization has created economic prosperity for citizens around
the world. These challenges have changed how people work, live, and
do business. Monetary Wisdom: Monetary Aspirations and
Decision-Making presents an excellent collection of
innovative and a multi-cultural view of how money has affected
decision making not only at an individual level but at
organizational level. This book discusses the powerful motivators
of money and the connection to ethical decision-making both in
organizations and social life.

Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE): A Practical Guide introduces
readers to the topic, guiding them through fundamental concepts and
the latest advances in applications. The book covers concepts,
principles and working mechanisms of AIE in AIE-active luminogens,
with different classes of AIE luminogens reviewed, including
polymers, three-dimensional frameworks (MOFs and COFs) and
supramolecular gels. Special focus is given to the
structure-property relationship, structural design strategies,
targeted properties and application performance. The book provides
readers with a deep understanding, not only on the fundamental
principles of AIE, but more importantly, on how AIE luminogens and
AIE properties can be incorporated in material development.

Electrochemical membrane technology has drawn extensive attention
worldwide during the past decade in water and wastewater treatment.
Coupling electrochemical process with membrane technology not only
enables a higher removal or decomposition of pollutants in waters,
but also ensures a more effective control of membrane fouling as
well as a more highly selective separation process. The recent
development of electrochemical membrane technology has also
extended its applications in desalination, energy harvest, and
resource recovery from seawater and wastewaters. Electrochemical
Membrane Technology for Water and Wastewater Treatment consolidates
state-of-the-art research developments in electrochemical membrane
technology in water reclamation and sustainability in terms of
fundamental theories, membrane and electrode materials, reactor
designs, fouling control mechanisms and applications.
Electrochemical Membrane Technology for Water and Wastewater
Treatment also introduces fundamental theories and applications of
electrochemical membrane technology. The knowledge gaps and future
research perspectives in electrochemical membrane technology are
also addressed. This book is an excellent resource for the
understanding of fundamental theories, latest developments and
future prospects in electrochemical membrane technology, which can
benefit a broad audience of researchers and engineers working in
water purification, membrane technology and electrochemical
process.
Nowadays, Virtual Reality (VR) is commonly used in various
applications including entertainment, education and training,
manufacturing, medical and rehabilitation. VR not only provides
immersive stereoscopic visualization of virtual environments and
the visualization effect and computer graphics are critical to
enhancing the engagement of participants and thus increases
education and training effectiveness. Nevertheless, constructing
realistic 3D models and scenarios for a specific application of VR
simulation is not an easy task. There are many different tools for
3D modelling such as ZBrush, Blender, SketchUp, AutoCAD,
SolidWorks, 3Ds Max, Maya, Rhino3D, CATIA, and more. Many of the
modelling tools are very professional and used for manufacturing
and product design application. The advanced features and functions
may not be applicable to different levels of users and various
specialization. This book explores the application of virtual
reality in healthcare settings. This includes 3D modelling
techniques, texturing, assigning material, and more. It allows for
not only modelling and rendering techniques, but modelling,
dressing, and animation in healthcare applications. The potential
market of readers, including those from the engineering disciplines
such as computer sciences/ computer engineering, product designers,
and more. Other potential readers are those studying nursing and
medicine, healthcare workers, and anyone interested in the
development of VR applications for industry use. In addition, this
is suitable for readers from other industries that may need to
apply virtual reality in their field.
"This book creates the concept of “enterprise organization
engineering” by introducing the paradigm of tissue engineering in
life science into enterprise organization research. It regards the
enterprise as live organization, which has life characters and
ability to grow and self-repair. The authors seek origins from
seven theories including human tissue engineering, evolutionary
economics, organization theories, enterprise theories, entrepreneur
theory, human recourse theory, knowledge management theory, and
summarizes the research framework including five parts : research
on enterprise life characteristics, enterprise genes, enterprise
seed cells, enterprise life scaffolds and research on enterprise
growth factors. This research framework, which bases on five
principles, presents a new perspective for corporate management
staff and riches management theories."

DAWN OF A NEW ERA
With the Wolf King in the north defeated, Great Liang turns its full
attention to the war's southern front, where the Westerners have
occupied the fertile land of Jiangnan. Gu Yun races south to lead Great
Liang's fledgling navy, while Chang Geng is recalled to the capital to
solve the pressing matter of funding the war effort.
Yet the imperial court is no less treacherous than the battlefield. As
Chang Geng walks a precarious path where one misstep could brand him a
traitor or worse, he begins to suspect that Gu Yun is in more danger
than he lets on. Chang Geng will stop at nothing to bring an end to the
war and build a nation where his beloved can lay down his armor and
live, at long last, in peace.
