This brief examines recent developments in the Heterogeneous
Vehicular NETworks (HETVNETs), integrating cellular networks with
Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) for meeting the
communications requirements of the Intelligent Transport System
(ITS)services. Along with a review of recent literature, a unified
framework of the HetVNET is presented. The brief focuses on
introducing efficient MAC mechanisms for vehicular communications,
including channel access protocols, broadcast/multicast protocols,
the location-based channel congestion control scheme and the
content-based resource allocation scheme. The cooperative
communication between vehicles is discussed. This brief concludes
with a discussion on future research directions, and provides the
readers with useful insights into the future designs in the
HetVNETs, to motivate new ideas for performance improvements in
vehicular networks.
A variety of devices at nanometer/molecular scale for
electronic, photonic, optoelectronic, biological, and mechanical
applications have been created through the rapid development of
materials and fabrication technology. Further development of
nanodevices strongly depends on the state-of-the-art knowledge of
science and technology at the sub-100 nm scale. This book presents
and highlights some of the key advances on, but not limited to,
electronic and optoelectronic devices of nanometer/molecular scale,
nanomechanics and nanoelectromechanical systems, electromechanical
coupled devices, manipulation and aligning processes at
nanometer/molecular scale, quantum phenomena, modeling of
nanodevices and nanostructures, fabrication and property
characterization of nanodevices, and nanofabrication with focused
beam technology.
This book introduces the design and implementation of an assessment
model for a new university-level English curriculum in China that
aims at developing digital literacy skills. The assessment
approach, embedded in the curriculum of an online modular course at
Peking University, requires the students to conduct semester-long
digital research projects in English in their major fields of
study. Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, evaluation
rubrics built around Content, Clarity, and Creative/Critical
Thinking were developed, evaluated, and refined over three
implementation cycles (eight semesters). The book presents a
systematic assessment design framework, a set of effective rubrics
for evaluating the digital research project, and authentic examples
of written and multimedia presentations by Chinese students.
Integrating assessment with instruction and technology, the book
provides a valuable practical guide to digital literacy assessment
for English education in the Outer and Expanding Circle contexts.

This book introduces a promising design for future Internet, the
Smart Collaborative Identifier NETwork (SINET). By examining
cutting-edge research from around the world, it is the first book
to provide a comprehensive survey of SINET, including its basic
theories and principles, a broad range of architectures, protocols,
standards, and future research directions. For further
investigation, the book also provides readers an experimental
analysis of SINET to promote further, independent research. The
second part of the book presents in detail key technologies in
SINET such as scalable routing, efficient mapping systems, mobility
management and security issues. In turn, the last part presents
various implementations of SINET, assessing its merits. The authors
believe SINET will greatly benefit researchers involved in
designing future Internet thanks to its high degree of flexibility,
security, manageability, mobility support and efficient resource
utilization.
This book comprehensively and systematically introduces readers to
the theories, structures, performance and applications of
non-driven mechanical and non-driven micromechanical gyroscopes.
The book is divided into three parts, the first of which mainly
addresses mathematic models, precision, performance and operating
error in non-driven mechanical gyroscopes. The second part focuses
on the operating theory, error, phase shift and performance
experiments involving non-driven micromechanical gyroscopes in
rotating flight carriers, while the third part shares insights into
the application of non-driven micromechanical gyroscopes in control
systems for rotating flight carriers. The book offers a unique
resource for all researchers and engineers who are interested in
the use of inertial devices and automatic control systems for
rotating flight carriers. It can also serve as a reference book for
undergraduates, graduates and instructors in related fields at
colleges and universities.

Shock Compression and Chemical Reaction of Multifunctional
Energetic Structural Materials provides an exhaustive overview of
the mechanics, kinetics and physio-chemical behavior caused by
shock-induced reaction and shock compression on multifunctional
energetic structural materials (MESMs). The book covers
foundational knowledge on shock waves and Equation of State (EOS),
shock parameters, reaction kinetics, impedance matching, and more.
In addition, it looks at more advanced subjects such as
experimental analysis methods, numerical modeling techniques (from
quasi-static to high-strain rates, including void collapse models),
how EOS changes when reaction and detonation are involved, and
more. Final chapters cover how to obtain EOS curves from
experiments and various testing methods and numerical models for
non-reactive porous solids and particulate composites, including
1-D reactive flow models. Flyer plate impact experiments are also
discussed, as are the applications of hydrocodes and
Lagrangian-framework-based methods.
This important resource explores recent theoretical advances and
modelling on fluids transport in fractal porous systems and
presents a systematic understanding of the characterization of
complex microstructure and transport mechanism in fractal porous
media. Modelling of Flow and Transport in Fractal Porous Media
shows how fractal theory and technology, combined with other modern
experiments and numerical simulation methods, will assist
researchers and practitioners in modelling of transport properties
of fractal porous media, such as fluid flow, heat and mass
transfer, mechanical characteristics, and electrical conductivity.

This comprehensive account of the Gross-Zagier formula on
Shimura curves over totally real fields relates the heights of
Heegner points on abelian varieties to the derivatives of L-series.
The formula will have new applications for the Birch and
Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and Diophantine equations.
The book begins with a conceptual formulation of the
Gross-Zagier formula in terms of incoherent quaternion algebras and
incoherent automorphic representations with rational coefficients
attached naturally to abelian varieties parametrized by Shimura
curves. This is followed by a complete proof of its coherent
analogue: the Waldspurger formula, which relates the periods of
integrals and the special values of L-series by means of Weil
representations. The Gross-Zagier formula is then reformulated in
terms of incoherent Weil representations and Kudla's generating
series. Using Arakelov theory and the modularity of Kudla's
generating series, the proof of the Gross-Zagier formula is reduced
to local formulas.
"The Gross-Zagier Formula on Shimura Curves" will be of great
use to students wishing to enter this area and to those already
working in it.

Robot-assisted healthcare offers benefits for repetitive, intensive
and task specific training compared to traditional manual
manipulation performed by physiotherapists. However, a majority of
existing rehabilitation devices use rigid actuators such as
electric motors or hydraulic cylinders which cannot guarantee the
safety of patients; novel soft robots combining soft and compliant
actuators with stiff skeletons offer a better alternative. This
book focuses on the development of these soft robotics for
rehabilitation purposes. Topics covered include an introduction to
soft robots and the state of the art of their use in healthcare;
concept and modelling of a soft rehabilitation actuator - the Peano
muscle; design of the reactive Peano muscle; soft wrist
rehabilitation robot; development and control of a soft ankle
rehabilitation robot (SARR); design, modelling and control
strategies of a gait rehabilitation exoskeleton (GAREX); and
conclusions and future work. This book presents novel applications
of mechatronics to provide better clinical rehabilitation services
and new insights into emerging technologies utilized in soft robots
for healthcare, and is essential reading for researchers and
students working in these and related fields.
