This book constitutes the second part of the refereed proceedings
of the International Conference on Life System Modeling and
Simulation, LSMS 2014, and of the International Conference on
Intelligent Computing for Sustainable Energy and Environment, ICSEE
2014, held in Shanghai, China, in September 2014. The 159 revised
full papers presented in the three volumes of CCIS 461-463 were
carefully reviewed and selected from 572 submissions. The papers of
this volume are organized in topical sections on advanced neural
network theory and algorithms; advanced evolutionary computing
theory and algorithms, such as particle swarm optimization,
differential evolution, ant colonies, artificial life, artificial
immune systems and genetic algorithm; fuzzy, neural, and
fuzzy-neuro hybrids; intelligent modeling, monitoring, and control
of complex nonlinear systems; intelligent modeling and simulation
of climate change; communication and control for distributed
networked systems.
New media has brought constant evolution to professional journalism
practices and news genres. Online news practices challenge the
occupational jurisdiction of journalism with a multiplicity of
conflicting and competing journalistic ideals. In order to prepare
journalism students to meet the demands of online journalism today,
journalism schools have developed courses that emphasize
journalistic practice on online news platforms and tools, such as
Twitter, WordPress.com, Soundslides Plus, etc. Drawing on the
theoretical lens of digital literacies, Multimedia News
Storytelling as Digital Literacies problematizes the emphasis on
transmission of certain professional values and news formats
without raising students' critical awareness that there can be
diversity of values. Methodologically, the present study proposes a
genre-aware, semiotic-aware, critical framework that aims at
analyzing digital literacies required and practiced by online
journalists. It simultaneously encompasses dimensions of
professional culture, professional practices, and abstraction of
instantiated meaning making via multimodal semiotic resources.
Multimedia News Storytelling as Digital Literacies is ideal for
courses in journalism and mass communication, curriculum studies,
and digital literacies. The book is a valuable resource for online
journalism educators, journalism students, and online journalism
practitioners.
This book explores China's hukou system, by which individuals are
registered in a specific geographic region, and the prospects for
reform. The history of the hukou system and its instrumental role
in Chinese urbanization and labor markets is explained, and readers
get a sense of what issues are prioritized by Chinese policymakers
as they contemplate reform or change to this system, from
hukou-based labor market discrimination, inequality of opportunity,
multi-dimensional poverty of rural migrants, the public health
consequences of non-hukou migration, and old age insurance for
migrants without hukous. The author concludes with a stirring and
practical call for hukou reform, articulating a cost-benefit model
and providing an array of policy suggestions. This book will
interest scholars of Chinese society, demographics and future
urbanization.Â
Collaborative innovation networks are cyberteams of motivated
individuals, and are self-organizing emergent social systems with
the potential to promote health, happiness and individual growth in
real-world work settings. This book describes how to identify and
nurture collaborative innovation networks in order to shape the
future working environment and pave the way for health and
happiness, and how to develop future technologies to promote
economic development, social innovation and entrepreneurship. The
expert contributions and case studies presented also offer insights
into how large corporations can creatively generate solutions to
real-world problems by means of self-organizing mechanisms, while
simultaneously promoting the well-being of individual workers. The
book also discusses how such networks can benefit startups,
offering new self-organizing forms of leadership in which all
stakeholders are encouraged to collaborate in the development of
new products.
There are many books on composite material analysis, but most cover
mainly continuous fiber materials, rather than those filled with
discontinuous fibers, which are particularly attractive for
large-volume and low-cost applications. This book provides the
theoretical and practical background to design and use
discontinuous fiber-reinforced polymer materials, with an emphasis
on structural parts for the automotive industry. Moreover, the
product of years of collaborative work between industry and
academia is presented in an easy-to-use, comprehensive manner. The
information provided makes it possible for someone with an
engineering background to understand the micromechanics of
discontinuous fiber-reinforced materials and, hence, analyze the
structural performance of components designed with such materials.
The book employs a practical approach to cover the key, unique
capabilities that are critical for a successful structural analysis
of discontinuous fiber-reinforced polymer structures: Process
simulation to estimate the condition of fibers in the finished
parts, i.e., fiber length, orientation, and concentration
Capability to measure micro structure, i.e., fiber length
distribution, fiber orientation tensors, and fiber concentration,
etc. Estimation of material properties in the part based on fiber
condition, as well as environmental conditions such as temperature
A broad range of areas is included, such as joining and assembly.
