Ecomuseums, founded on the radical principle of community-led heritage, have transformed preservation practices across the globe. But what happens when this bottom-up model encounters a millennia-old, top-down social system? Ecomuseums and Living Heritage in China moves beyond theoretical debate to present a groundbreaking, empirical study of this very clash.This book narrates the compelling story of Malanyu, a community descended from the caretakers of the Qing Imperial T...

China's international tourism industry is gradually rising from the ashes after three years of travel restrictions imposed in response to China's "zero Covid" policy. This gradual recovery has prompted three geographers, specialized in understanding these trends, to pool their research and present an overview of the current state of Chinese international outbound tourism.Drawing on their extensive field experience in Wuhan, Phuket, Paris and Nice, these three researchers have combi...

Advanced Filter Structure Handbook*:* From Design to Optimization is an essential resource for anyone involved in managing and processing large datasets. As data grows exponentially, efficient filtering techniques become increasingly critical to performance and resource management. This book provides a comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing advanced data filters, from traditional Bloom filters to cutting-edge innovations like Ribbon Filter, Bamboo Filter, a...

The book focuses on the research methods of networked control systems via sliding mode. The problems with network disturbances, network induced delay, out-of-sequence and packet loss, and network attacks are studied in detail. The content studied in this book is introduced in detail and is verified by simulation or experiment. It is especially suitable for readers who are interested in learning the control scheme of networked systems. This book can benefit researchers, engineers, and stude...

This book focuses on the design of secure and efficient signature and signcryption schemes for vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). We use methods such as public key cryptography (PKI), identity-based cryptography (IDC), and certificateless cryptography (CLC) to design bilinear pairing and elliptic curve cryptography-based signature and signcryption schemes and prove their security in the random oracle model. The signature schemes ensure the authenticity of source and integrity of a safety ...

This thoroughly revised and expanded second edition of the Handbook of Markov Chain Monte Carlo reflects the dramatic evolution of MCMC methods since the publication of the first edition. With the addition of two new editors, Radu V. Craiu and Dootika Vats, this comprehensive reference now offers deeper insights into the theoretical foundations and cutting-edge developments that are reshaping the field.Key Features:Completely restruct...

This book proposes a synergistic framework to help IP vendors to protect hardware IP privacy and integrity from design, optimization, and evaluation perspectives. The proposed framework consists of five interacting components that directly target at the primary IP violations. All the five algorithms are developed based on rigorous mathematical modeling for primary IP violations and focus on different stages of IC design, which can be combined to provide a formal security guarantee.
