This book, based on the research experience and outcomes of a group
of international contributors, addresses a range of advanced energy
efficiency technologies and their applications in solar heating,
cooling and power generation, while also providing solutions for
tackling recurring low efficiency problems in today's systems. It
highlights the latest technologies and methods, which can
significantly improve the performance of solar systems, enabling
readers to design, construct and apply high-performance solar
systems in or for their own projects. The contributors provide a
systematic introduction to state-of-the-art energy efficiency
technologies that demonstrates how to implement innovative solar
systems. These technologies include: * heat pipes and loop heat
pipes; * phase change materials (PCMs) and PCM slurries; *
micro-channel panels; * desiccant/adsorption cycling; * ejector
cooling and heat pumps; and * solar concentration and
thermoelectric units. The book shows how innovative solar systems
applicable to rural and urban buildings can be analysed and
demonstrates the successful implementation of these advanced
technologies. It delivers the design principles and associated
energy performance assessment methods for a range of selected solar
heating, cooling and power generation projects. This book offers a
valuable source of information for final-year undergraduate
students, as well as graduate students and academic lecturers, as
it promotes the widespread deployment of advanced solar heating,
cooling and power generation technologies applicable for buildings
across the globe. The book is also a good point of reference for
design engineers and energy consultants who wish to extend their
knowledge of advanced technologies used to achieve energy
efficiency.
This book discusses the relationship, interaction and conflict
between everyday life and various institutions in a specific
village in North China, with a focus on the formal and informal
legal systems. It vividly describes the village's "legal
construction problems" as well as the customs and laws, and such it
can be seen as a historical and innovative comment on China's
problems. The book is based on the author's field investigations
assessing vast amounts of material concerning local organizations,
formal and informal authorities, economic exchange, religious
rituals, as well as interviews with villagers and numerous court
files. It presents an in-depth exploration of "pluralism of
authority" in China's rural society, and examines how various
authorities were formed. It also summarizes how various local
disputes are resolved and discusses the villagers' understanding of
the concept of "justice." Lastly, it suggests ways in which
national law and local customs could communicate and collaborate.

This book presents high-quality original contributions on positive
systems, including those with positivity in compartmental switched
systems, Markovian jump systems, Boolean networks, interval
observer design, fault detection, and delay systems. It comprises a
selection of the best papers from POSTA 2018, the 6th International
Conference on Positive Systems, which was held in Hangzhou, China,
in August 2018. The POSTA conference series represents a targeted
response to the growing need for research that reports on and
critically discusses a wide range of topics concerning the theory
and applications of positive systems. The book offers valuable
insights for researchers in applied mathematics, control theory and
their applications.
