The Mekong River is a vital and valuable resource, with huge
development potential for the six states through which it flows.
Given the significant asymmetry of power between those states,
however, there is a real risk that some might utilise it to the
detriment of others. Without a sense of regional belonging, it is
difficult to imagine that these states and their constituent
communities will take regional imperatives to heart, participate in
joint regulatory frameworks, or adopt behaviours for
upstream-downstream and lateral cooperation over the appropriation
and use of their shared resources. How effectively has closer
interdependence of the Mekong countries accommodated the
development of a political-social-cultural space conducive to the
growth of a regional "we-ness" among not only political elites, but
also the general public? The contributors to this volume approach
this question from a range of directions, including the impacts of
tourism, regional development programmes, the Mekong Power Grid,
and Sino-US rivalry. This edited volume presents valuable insights
for scholars of international relations, Asian studies, development
studies, environment studies, policy studies, and human geography.
The book examines the relationship between imperial examinations
and literature from the perspective of restoring the cultural
ecology of imperial examinations in Ming China, breaking through
the paradigm of pure literature research. This book presents an
important practice in adjusting the pattern of literary research.
The contents of this book include five mutually independent but
supportive parts:Â 1) the living conditions and careers of
the literary attendants; 2) the educational background and
school’s consciousness of the Ming literati; 3) top candidates
and Ming literature; 4) genres of imperial examination and the Ming
society; 5) exam cheating cases from the perspective of politics
and literature. This book will appeal to readers interested in
Chinese literature and culture and the imperial examination system
in ancient China.
Unmanned systems are one of the fastest-growing and widely
developing technologies in the world, offering many possibilities
for a variety of research fields. This book comprises the
proceedings of the 2022 International Symposium on Unmanned Systems
and the Defense Industry (ISUDEF), a multi-disciplinary conference
on a broad range of current research and issues in areas such as
autonomous technology, unmanned aircraft technologies, avionics,
radar systems, air defense, aerospace robotics and mechatronics,
and aircraft technology design. ISUDEF allows researchers,
scientists, engineers, practitioners, policymakers, and students to
exchange information, present new technologies and developments,
and discuss future direction, strategies, and priorities in the
field of autonomous vehicles and unmanned aircraft technologies.

This book discusses the intelligent optimization and control of
complex metallurgical processes, including intelligent optimization
and control of raw-material proportioning processes, coking
process, and reheating furnaces; intelligent control of thermal
state parameters in sintering processes; and intelligent decoupling
control of gas collection and mixing-and-pressurization processes.
The intelligent control and optimization methods presented were
originally applied to complex metallurgical processes by the
authors, and their effectiveness and their advantages have been
theoretically proven and demonstrated practically. This book offers
an up-to-date overview of this active research area, and provides
readers with state-of-the-art methods for the control of complex
metallurgical processes.

This volume investigates the nature of threats facing, or perceived
as facing, some of the key players involved in Asian maritime
politics. The articles in this collection present case studies on
Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Japan, China, and
Southeast Asia as a whole and focus on domestic definitions of
threats and conceptualisations of security. These studies map the
differing understandings of danger in this region and explore how
contending narratives of "threats" and "security" affect the
national maritime security policy deliberations within the
countries of this region. Those interested in maritime security and
management in Asia will find this collection an invaluable addition
to the literature on this topic.
This edited volume brings together scholars from eight countries to
explore interactions of popular cultural flows, state politics,
audiences' receptions, and public debates in Singapore, Malaysia,
Japan, Indonesia, Korea, Vietnam and China, and across the region
as a whole. These investigations provide fresh conceptual and
empirical insights into the study of the dynamic and complex
interface of cultural adaptation, political identification and
regional identity formation in the popular cultural consumption
process in East Asia. The impact of cross-border popular cultural
flows on East Asians' competing national selves and the potential
of translating pleasure from popular cultural consumption into
regional integration urges are thus issues carrying political
significance and consequence for East Asia, and possibly with
serious repercussions on the world.

BizTalk Server 2002 Design and Implementation explains BizTalk
Server 2002 by presenting technical discussions around a BizTalk
project from the very beginning of the book. Readers learn BizTalk
Server 2002 step-by-step as they read through the chapters and
build an actual BizTalk Server. Readers also learn many invaluable
lessons that the author Xin Chen learned by designing and
implementing a number of high profile BizTalk Server projects, some
included in this book.Among other topics covered are the BizTalk
messaging, BizTalk orchestration, BizTalk application deployment,
BizTalk performance and fault tolerance, BizTalk application
security, BizTalk MOM, and many more advanced BizTalk Server
features and design discussions on how to build an effective
BizTalk Server 2002 solution. Chen's book provides everything
developers need to know to build an end-to-end BizTalk solution,

The large advancement achieved in Global Navigation Satellite
Systems (GNSS) technologies makes it indispensable to our society,
ranging from scientific research to people's ordinary life.
However, multipath effects have become one of the limiting error
sources to the further improvements in performance. In this book,
the reasons why multipath can cause severe errors to GNSS receivers
are analyzed, and a new multipath mitigation architecture, namely
Coupled Amplitude and Delay Lock Loops (CADLL), is presented. The
CADLL architecture uses the idea of separately tracking the
line-of-sight signal and multipaths, thus boosting the performance.
A new Angle-of-Arrival (AOA) estimation algorithm using antenna
array, namely iterative Maximum Likelihood Estimation (iMLE), is
also presented in this book. iMLE has the advantages of low
computational complexity, fast and global convergence and better
estimation accuracy. It is a promising method for mitigating very
near multipath mitigation in the future work.
