This book covers the state-of-the-art research in nanoporous metals
for potential applications in advanced energy fields, including
proton exchange membrane fuel cells, Li batteries (Li ion, Li-S,
and Li-O2), and supercapacitors. The related structural design and
performance of nanoporous metals as well as possible mechanisms and
challenges are fully addressed. The formation mechanisms of
nanoporous metals during dealloying, the microstructures of
nanoporous metals and characterization methods, as well as
miscrostructural regulation of nanoporous metals through alloy
design of precursors and surface diffusion control are also covered
in detail. This is an ideal book for researchers, engineers,
graduate students, and government/industry officers who are in
charge of R&D investments and strategy related to energy
technologies.
This book is highly informative and carefully presented, providing
scientific insights into the flood resources utilization in the
Yangtze River Basin both for scholars and decision-makers. The book
is for the purpose of analyzing the potential utilization of flood
resources in the Yangtze River Basin and exploring effective ways
to put forward the countermeasures against the risks. Major
objectives of this book include: (1) revealing the characteristics
of the inflow and the sediment variation in the upper reaches of
the Yangtze River, quantitatively evaluating the potential
utilization of the flood resources in the Yangtze River and
demonstrating the feasibility of its utilization in the Basin; (2)
proposing the necessity and feasibility of utilizing the flood
resources by the Three Gorges Project; (3) shedding new light on
the characteristics of the flood resources, presenting different
methods of flood resources utilization in different regions over
the Basin and raising the overall risk-optimized strategies of the
flood resources utilization in the Yangtze River; (4) analyzing the
risk of flood resources utilization for the Three Gorges Project
regarding flood control, sediment, ecology, etc., and putting
forward the risk-optimized countermeasures of flood resources
utilization for the Three Gorges Project.
China's event market is full of dynamic and exciting developments,
innovation, new players and novel ideas, but at the same time of
certain shortcomings. This new and huge market is drawing
increasing attention from the event industry worldwide. The aim of
this handbook is to analyse the Chinese event market, reflect on
emerging trends, scrutinise the key players and identify the
implica-tions for the education of future professionals in this
industry. This handbook is the first of its kind on the Chinese
event market written in English. It is a collection of 27articles
written by 39 authors from China, Germany, Malaysia, South Africa,
the United Kingdom and the United States. The contributions embrace
a mix of theoretical and practical reflections, written by
academics/lecturers and practitioners alike. The focus lies on
business events, such as trade fairs, conventions and corporate
events. Some very specifically describe a certain trend or
development; others focus on overall trends. The handbook is
divided into four chapters. Following an introductory chapter on
the event market, the second chapter focuses on the event market in
China from a global perspective. The third chapter reflects on
management aspects in China's event industry. The fourth and final
chapter addresses the issue of educating professionals for the
event industry.
This book focuses on the integration of air conditioning and
heating as a form of demand response into modern power system
operation and planning. It presents an in-depth study on air
conditioner aggregation, and examines various models of air
conditioner aggregation and corresponding control methods in
detail. Moreover, the book offers a comprehensive and systematic
treatment of incorporating flexible heating demand into integrated
energy systems, making it particularly well suited for readers who
are interested in learning about methods and solutions for demand
response in smart grids. It offers a valuable resource for
researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of
electrical and electronic engineering, control engineering, and
computer engineering.

Multi-state System Reliability Analysis and Optimization for
Engineers and Industrial Managers presents a comprehensive,
up-to-date description of multi-state system (MSS) reliability as a
natural extension of classical binary-state reliability. It
presents all essential theoretical achievements in the field, but
is also practically oriented. New theoretical issues are described,
including: * combined Markov and semi-Markov processes methods, and
universal generating function techniques; * statistical data
processing for MSSs; * reliability analysis of aging MSSs; *
methods for cost-reliability and cost-availability analysis of
MSSs; and * main definitions and concepts of fuzzy MSS. Multi-state
System Reliability Analysis and Optimization for Engineers and
Industrial Managers also discusses life cycle cost analysis and
practical optimal decision making for real world MSSs. Numerous
examples are included in each section in order to illustrate
mathematical tools. Besides these examples, real world MSSs (such
as power generating and transmission systems, air-conditioning
systems, production systems, etc.) are considered as case studies.
Multi-state System Reliability Analysis and Optimization for
Engineers and Industrial Managers also describes basic concepts of
MSS, MSS reliability measures and tools for MSS reliability
assessment and optimization. It is a self-contained study resource
and does not require prior knowledge from its readers, making the
book attractive for researchers as well as for practical engineers
and industrial managers.
