Many people have experience working in an office or on a shop floor, and along the way they encounter moments of joy, satisfaction, disappointment, or even pain. These emotions are not confined by nationality—they are part of the human condition that nearly everyone faces at some point.This book tells the story of Wang Xiangyang, a director at a Chinese company, during his business trip to Serbia. It follows a series of events involving language barriers, cultural differences, loca...

Deregulating the legal profession will benefit society by improving access to legal services and the efficacy of public policies.Lawyers dominate a judicial system that has come under fire for limiting access to its services to primarily the most affluent members of society. Lawyers also have a pervasive influence throughout other parts of government. This is the first book offering a critical comprehensive overview of the legal profession's role in failing to serve...

This book provides a comprehensive examination of the architectural evolution of China from antiquity to the early modern, modern, and contemporary ages. A comprehensive examination of the evolution of Chinese architecture is presented in nine chapters, offering a penetrating survey of the subject matter for both learners and professionals. Each chapter illuminates the architectural styles, cultural implications, social significance, and innovations that have shaped the development of Chin...

Knowledge representation is an important task in understanding how humans think and learn. Although many representation models or cognitive models have been proposed, such as expert systems or knowledge graphs, they cannot represent procedural knowledge, i.e., dynamic knowledge, in an efficient way.This book introduces a new knowledge representation model called MDATA (Multi-dimensional Data Association and inTelligent Analysis). By modifying the representation of entities and rela...

Semimartingale Theory and Stochastic Calculus presents a systematic and detailed account of the general theory of stochastic processes, the semimartingale theory, and related stochastic calculus. The book emphasizes stochastic integration for semimartingales, characteristics of semimartingales, predictable representation properties and weak convergence of semimartingales. It also includes a concise treatment of absolute continuity and singularity, contiguity, and entire separation of measu...

This book presents the theoretical foundations of the MDATA cognitive model and its applications in the field of cybersecurity. The MDATA model is an innovative analytical tool designed to simulate and improve cognitive processes. It bridges cognitive science and cybersecurity, making it essential for professionals and researchers in these fields.The core content explores three critical technologies within the MDATA model: knowledge representation, knowledge acquisition, and knowle...
