This book investigates the mineralogy and shock effects of Yanzhuang chondrite, using modern micro-mineralogical experimental techniques, including SEM, TEM, EPMA, Raman microprobe spectroscopy, instrumental neutron activation analysis, X-ray micro-diffraction analysis, micro-PIXE analysis and laser ablation ICP-MS. The micro-structural and micro-morphological characteristics as well as chemical composition of minerals were studied in details. Based on the studies in the shock effects of rocks and minerals, and the detailed study in the shock-produced melt, the book concludes that Yanzhuang chondrite is the most heavily shocked ordinary H group chondrite ever found and that it contains the most abundant shock induced melt among all known shock-melt-bearing chondritic meteorites.

This book discusses the design and implementation of a mind or mental architecture for a machine to autonomously learn, analyze and synthesize spatial language. A new direction is taken to model the spatial language in a deterministic way using entities properties and their interactions. The spatial words such as on, in, over, under, above, below, inside, outside, behind, in front of, back, front, left, right, beside, between, among, near and far are modeled and learned. In contrast, current works use collocation information of words to learn the spatial concepts. The book discusses the spatial language understanding, spatial language generation and spatial language visualization methodologies as simple as possible. This book is very useful for those who work in the areas of robotics, natural language understanding, human-machine interaction, symbol grounding, spatial language visualization and text to 3D scene conversion.
