Foregrounding the ways in which men experience transnational
migration, Migratory Men: Place, Transnationalism and Masculinities
considers how we conceptualise and theorise mobile men in a global
context. Bringing together studies from around the world (e.g.
Australia, Pakistan, Tunisia, Zimbabwe, Italy, etc), the collection
foregrounds how the transnational migratory experience profoundly
reshapes men's complex identity practices. Specifically, the
collection highlights how transnational migratory aspirations and
experiences often lead men to reimagine local patterns of
masculinity and/or reaffirm prescriptive gender roles as they
encounter new spaces/places. In presenting interdisciplinary
research, the international scholars consider the powerful roles of
economics, politics and social class in shaping masculinities.
Furthermore, they emphasise how men affectively and agentically
experience migration and how interaction with new spaces/places can
often lead to negotiations between disempowerment and empowerment.
As such, the collection will appeal to both non-academic readers
who share transnational migratory aspirations and experiences and
academic readers across the social sciences with interests in
gender and sexuality, migration and diaspora, transnationalism and
contemporary masculinities.
Flexible Batteries highlights the key advances in flexible
batteries, a booming new direction in the energy storage field. The
authors first introduce lithium-ion batteries, which are currently
the most widely used batteries. Flexible aqueous batteries such as
aqueous lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and zinc-ion batteries are
discussed subsequently due to the safety concerns in organic
electrolytes. Since flexible metal-air batteries are recognized as
primary choices for the next generation, the authors take
lithium-air and aluminum-air batteries as examples to explore their
applications in flexible battery construction. They further
summarize flexible batteries under the most challenging working
conditions such as stretching and integrating flexible batteries
with flexible energy harvesting devices, sensors, and
supercapacitors. Covering both fundamental and application
development, this book may effectively bridge academics and
industry. It will be helpful not only to scholars and students
studying materials science and engineering, chemical engineering,
physics, energy science, and biomedical science but also to
scientists and engineers in the industry.
This book highlights principles and applications of electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC). After introducing the basic concepts, research
progress, standardizations and limitations of EMC, the book puts
emphasis on presenting the generation mechanisms and suppression
principles of conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise,
radiated EMI noise, and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS)
problems such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), electric fast
transient (EFT) and surge. By showing EMC case studies and solved
examples, the book provides effective solutions to practical
engineering problems. Students and researchers will be able to use
the book as practical reference for EMC-related measurements and
problem- solution.
This book provides a comprehensive methodology for automated
design, test and diagnosis, and use of robust, low-cost, and
manufacturable digital microfluidic systems. It focuses on the
development of a comprehensive CAD optimization framework for
digital microfluidic biochips that unifies different design
problems. With the increase in system complexity and integration
levels, biochip designers can utilize the design methods described
in this book to evaluate different design alternatives, and carry
out design-space exploration to obtain the best design point.

This book presents refereed proceedings of the Second International
Conference Neural Computing for Advanced Applications, NCAA 2021,
held in Guangzhou, China, in August, 2021. The 54 full papers
papers were thorougly reviewed and selected from a total of 144
qualified submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections
on neural network theory, cognitive sciences, neuro-system hardware
implementations, and NN-based engineering applications; machine
learning, data mining, data security and privacy protection, and
data-driven applications; neural computing-based fault diagnosis,
fault forecasting, prognostic management, and system modeling;
computational intelligence, nature-inspired optimizers, and their
engineering applications; fuzzy logic, neuro-fuzzy systems,
decision making, and their applications in management sciences;
control systems, network synchronization, system integration, and
industrial artificial intelligence; computer vision, image
processing, and their industrial applications; cloud/edge/fog
computing, the Internet of Things/Vehicles(IoT/IoV), and their
system optimization; spreading dynamics, forecasting, and other
intelligent techniques against coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Government auditing in China has been in place for 3000 years, and
it is compulsory within the management of the financial sectors to
ensure the country is run well from the perspective of the public
economy. In recent years, challenges within China around the
promotion of anti-corruption have provided fresh reasons to study
government auditing in China. As China was the first country
worldwide to introduce the government audit, it provides an
interesting lens to study Chinese history, transitional processes
and the changes of the audit's function. As China is the second
biggest and fasting growing economy in the world, it also provides
readers with the opportunity to explore how the government audit
works in China since their WTO accession in 2002. Since China's
leadership have conducted an anti-corruption campaign nationwide,
it also provides a timely opportunity to study the audit in line
with conversations on fighting corruption within the financial
sector. The book provides three practical ways to understand
detailed research on the content, form and measures of each of
these paths, which will help inspire and guide thinking and
decision-making within the levels of government, governmental
organizations, non-governmental organizations and enterprises in
the perspective of China's government audit. The book also expands
the ideas of financial management, enriches the content and forms
of administrative promotion of China's financial sector, and makes
a positive contribution to improving the theory of China's
government audit – all of which is conducive to accelerating the
process of developing the capacity of China's financial sectors.
