When they first met, he was peerlessly beautiful, and his body was entangled by ghosts and devils. She smiled and said, "Does Your Highness wish to take a wife? If you break off the engagement, I guarantee that you will be able to embrace each other and win every night! " He dangerously frowned and forced her into a corner. "This King's abilities are limited. One person is enough!" The next day. She held onto her waist, which had almost broken into two halves. Her heart was filled with emo...

Adopting curriculum vitae (CV) analysis method, this book collects CVs of university faculty from 109 universities of "The Double First Class University Plan" in China, and systematically analyses the mobility pattern of faculty in China for the first time.Examining the overall mobility frequency of Chinese faculty and its growing rate, the authors predict that after the epidemic, with the growing number of returned overseas talents, there may be a third wave of faculty mobility. T...

This book describes the second phase of the Qinghai–Tibetan railway construction project and is the first technological book discussing the geological routing of the Qinghai–Tibetan railway project on the “roof of the world.” Based on practical experience of railway construction work, it provides a substantial number of examples with detailed descriptions and conclusions. The complex geological environment of the Qinghai–Tibetan railway as well as the selection and optimization of the rout...

This book focuses on the intelligent control design for both the induction motor (IM) and the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). Compared with traditional control schemes, such as the field-oriented control (FOC) and the direct torque control (DTC), the intelligent controllers designed in this book could overcome the influence of parameter uncertainty and load torque disturbance. This book is a research monograph, which provides valuable reference material for researchers who wish ...

This book delves into the transformations and challenges faced by modern Chinese universities during periods of social and political upheaval. It examines the choices made by universities in modern Chinese civil society and the reincarnation of university spirit in times of tribulation. A special focus is given to the spiritual formation of The Chinese University of Hong Kong as a modern example. The volume concludes by reflecting on the lessons from the history of modern Chinese universit...
