'While there is a wealth of writing on Sino-US relations and a
growing body of work on interactions between Europe and China, it
is much rarer to find studies that triangulate these different sets
of relationships. Through a series of issue-based case studies,
this volume unpacks the different layers of this triangular
relationship, showing where interests coincide and diverge. The
result is not a single relationship, but a patchwork of different
sets of power configurations depending on the issue at hand.' -
Shaun Breslin, University of Warwick, UK 'This book presents a
novel, remarkably informative analysis of the implications of the
rise of China in world politics and Sino-US-EU relations in
different contexts. Its triangular approach and focus on the
emerging post-financial crisis period ensure that it will help to
set the agenda for future research on the G2 or G3 in a world of
'messy multilateralism'. It is certain to be essential reading for
anyone interested in China or EU-US-China relations.' - Francis
Snyder, Peking University School of Transnational Law, China, LSE,
UK and College of Europe, Belgium The interaction between the EU,
the US and China is of particular importance to the formation of
the international order in the 21st century. This book focuses on
the latest developments and examines how critical the interactions
between these three players are to future global governance. Jing
Men, Wei Shen and their carefully selected contributors explore how
China's ascending role is contrasted with the seemingly declining
influence of the US and the EU, and challenges the existing power
configuration in the global order. They examine how China's growth
and future development trajectory will be a key factor, and why it
is still hesitant to the responsibilities it should assume in
global governance. The book argues that in order to fully construct
a working and productive triangle relationship between the EU, the
US and China, thus establishing an effective political and economic
global leadership, both economic and trade cooperation, and more
importantly, strategic thinking on global responsibilities should
be developed among the three players. This book will appeal to
researchers, professors and students of international and
comparative politics, as well as international relations. It will
also be of interest to officials working within international
organizations or national ministries, in addition to anyone who has
a general interest in international affairs. Contributors: S.

Community structure is a salient structural characteristic of
many real-world networks. Communities are generally hierarchical,
overlapping, multi-scale and coexist with other types of structural
regularities of networks. This poses major challenges for
conventional methods of community detection. This book will
comprehensively introduce the latest advances in community
detection, especially the detection of overlapping and hierarchical
community structures, the detection of multi-scale communities in
heterogeneous networks, and the exploration of multiple types of
structural regularities. These advances have been successfully
applied to analyze large-scale online social networks, such as
Facebook and Twitter. This book provides readers a convenient way
to grasp the cutting edge of community detection in complex
networks.
The thesis on which this book is based was honored with the Top 100
Excellent Doctoral Dissertations Award from the Chinese Academy of
Sciences and was nominated as the Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation
by the Chinese Computer Federation.
With more than 75 years of combined working experience in the area
of reactor physics and safety, the intention of the authors of this
monograph is to provide a practical book on reactor physics,
particularly for the safe operation of aged CANDU reactors, with
minimal mathematics or equations. The book gives a glimpse of first
principles and their engineering application in reactor physics,
for those who are interested in or are working in the Canadian
nuclear industry. The book is also ideal as a reference for
physicists, operators, regulatory staff, and for those who need to
interact with reactor physicists at CANDU sites, nuclear
laboratories, institutes, universities, or engineering companies.
Written by respected experts, this book highlights the latest
findings on the electromagnetic ultrasonic guided wave (UGW)
imaging method. It introduces main topics as the Time of Flight
(TOF) extraction method for the guided wave signal, tomography and
scattering imaging methods which can be used to improve the imaging
accuracy of defects. Further, it offers essential insights into how
electromagnetic UGW can be used in nondestructive testing (NDT) and
defect imaging. As such, the book provides valuable information,
useful methods and practical experiments that will benefit
researchers, scientists and engineers in the field of NDT.
This book explores Information theory (IT) tools, which have become
state of the art to solve and understand better many of the
problems in visualization. This book covers all relevant literature
up to date. It is the first book solely devoted to this subject,
written by leading experts in the field.
This comprehensive Research Handbook provides an in-depth analysis
of the different financial law approaches, legal systems and trends
throughout Asia. Considering how reforms following the crises have
been critical for the development and growth of the region, this
insightful book explores a broad range of post-crisis financial
regulatory issues. It also examines how inconsistent and divergent
approaches to financial market regulation are curtailing the
region's potential. By focusing on the legal frameworks and
regulatory models at a national level, this innovative Research
Handbook addresses opportunities and challenges for financial
markets and convergence in the region. Key topics include the
different legal and regulatory approaches to common issues, such as
banking regulation and resolution, FinTech, insolvency frameworks
and ASEAN financial market integration. Specific regulatory
approaches are discussed in relation to areas such as Renminbi
internationalization, Islamic banking and finance, shadow banking,
crowdfunding, venture capital, derivatives, bond and securities
markets. The book concludes with an analysis of the impact of
FinTech on regulatory convergence in Asia. The Research Handbook on
Asian Financial Law will be of great value to law students,
academics and policymakers working across a diverse range of fields
including financial regulation, Asian studies, banking resolution
and insolvency. Contributors include: D. Arner, J. Barberis, L.
Bromberg, S. Butt, A. Chan, C. Chen, V. Chen, H. Dervan, D. Donald,

Past research and literature suggest that legal institutions drive
economic development. Yet China has grown for decades without the
fundamental legal infrastructure that was once considered
necessary. This is called the 'China puzzle' or the 'China myth'.
By carefully comparing the four key branches of private law in
China and Taiwan - a jurisdiction that grew with modest legal
institutions and shares similar legal and non-legal culture - this
collaborative and novel book demystifies the 'China puzzle'. Top
scholars in the field use an economics-focused analytical approach
to explain how and why the laws have taken such paths over the past
four decades. Comparing property, contract, tort, and corporate
laws in China and Taiwan, these authors delve deeply into key
doctrines to provide a meaningful account of the evolution of
private law in these two jurisdictions.

clustering and community structure; social link prediction and
recommendation; and social network structure analysis.
The fundamental and applied engineering issues to develop stable
and functional bioactive papers for health and environmental
diagnostics are investigated. Enzymes are directly physisorbed on
paper or retained on paper with a polymer. The reactivity and the
thermal stability of enzymatic papers are quantified using an
advanced colorimetric technique. Paper bioassays to identify
antigens and antibodies in a biofluid, such as blood, are
investigated. The blood typing using a low cost paper diagnostic is
shown. The feasibility of thermal ink jet printing is illustrated
for the precise deposition of biomolecules on paper and polymers.
Microfluidic channels are also printed on paper to demonstrate the
concept of paper diagnostic devices. Liquid- liquid and
solid-liquid interactions that involve ink jet printing of
biomolecules onto paper are quantified and modelled. This study
validates paper as a bioactive support. The ink jet printing is
shown as a convenient technique which can be scaled up for
diagnostic and industrial applications.
