Describes various electrochemical processes related to the
renewable compounds, including hydrogen evolution, oxygen
evolution, oxygen reduction, carbon dioxide reduction, nitrogen
reduction, methanol oxidation, urea oxidation and ammonia
oxidation. Highlights fundamental aspects, catalysts designing
principles and measurement criteria of different electrochemical
transformations. Covers the important electrocatalysts, including
transition metal phosphide-based electrocatalysts, earth-abundant
electrocatalysts, graphene-supported nanomaterials, self-supported
nanoarrays, single-atom catalysts and MOFs derived
electrocatalysts. Explores the strategies and mechanisms for
improving the electrocatalytic performance of various
electrocatalysts. Discusses future development of renewable
compounds produced by electrochemical transformation.
This book is for anyone who has wondered the ways HL speakers think
about themselves and their changing identities across time and
space. For those who stereotypically conceptualise CHL learners as
a homogeneous, diasporic, and language minority population, this
book will be an eye opener by revealing CHL identity as a
superdiverse construct rather than a unitary entity. This book
captures the authentic voices from university CHL learners from
diverse backgrounds who identify themselves in different and
similar ways. This book develops a new account of HL learner
identity and its relation to three realms of social realities:
language learning, language use, and social experience.
This volume explains the beginnings and expansion of China's space
program, analyzing how China is now able to hold such ambitions and
how the interaction between technology, politics and economics has
influenced the Chinese space program. It opens by tracing out the
earlier development of the space program and identifying the
successes and problems that plagued this initial effort, later
focusing upon its development over the past decade and into the
future. As China is now able to reach into outer space with its
machines and, since 2003, with its humans, the authors examine how
this move from a non-participant status to a state operating at the
highest level of space activities has confirmed its potential place
as the new economic and military superpower of the twenty-first
century. They also demonstrate how recent successes mean that China
is now confronted by an issue previously encountered by other space
'powers', such as the United States and the former Soviet Union:
what is the value of the space program, given its high costs and
likelihood of dramatic failure? Chinese Space Policy will be of
great interest to students of space studies, Chinese politics,
security studies, and international relations in general.

This book covers a wide range of issues in fire safety engineering
in tunnels, describes the phenomena related to tunnel fire
dynamics, presents state-of-the-art research, and gives detailed
solutions to these major issues. Examples for calculations are
provided. The aim is to significantly improve the understanding of
fire safety engineering in tunnels. Chapters on fuel and
ventilation control, combustion products, gas temperatures, heat
fluxes, smoke stratification, visibility, tenability, design fire
curves, heat release, fire suppression and detection, CFD modeling,
and scaling techniques all equip readers to create their own fire
safety plans for tunnels. This book should be purchased by any
engineer or public official with responsibility for tunnels. It
would also be of interest to many fire protection engineers as an
application of evolving technical principles of fire safety.
In January 1995, 300 participants from Asia, USA, and Europe lively
discussed the "State of the Art and Future Aspects of CT" in
Peking, China. The workshop was designed to cover all essential
aspects of modern CT imaging including the historical development,
different techniques, contrast agents, organ systems, and
indications. The comparative evaluation of CT versus MRI and
ultrasound was a central topic. Additionally, a special session was
dedicated to "Angiography Tomorrow." This book summarizes the state
of the art in both conventional and spiral CT imaging and provides
some suggestions as for the future role of the method.
Volume I is divided into two parts. Part B of volume I in
the Ben cao gang mu series offers a translation of
portions of chapter 3 and the complete chapter 4, devoted to
pharmaceutical drugs for diseases. This volume is a continuation of
volume I, part A. The first portion of chapter 3 is found in part
A. The Ben cao gang mu is a sixteenth-century Chinese
encyclopedia of medical matter and natural history by Li Shizhen
(1518–1593). The culmination of a sixteen-hundred-year history of
Chinese medical and pharmaceutical literature, it is considered the
most important and comprehensive book ever written in the history
of Chinese medicine and remains an invaluable resource for
researchers and practitioners. This nine-volume series reveals an
almost two-millennia-long panorama of wide-ranging observations and
sophisticated interpretations, ingenious manipulations, and
practical applications of natural substances for the benefit of
human health. Paul U. Unschuld's annotated translation of
the Ben cao gang mu, presented here with the original Chinese
text, opens a rare window into viewing the people and culture of
China's past. Â
Volume VII in the Ben cao gang mu series offers a
complete translation of chapters 34 through 37, devoted to woods.
