This book is a comprehensive exploration of endogenous community building, aiming to investigate how to create a vibrant, service-integrated, and sustainable community through collective impact approaches. It’s a guide to social innovation that combines theory and practical application. In terms of theory, it constructs concepts such as endogenous community, endogenous design system, life project platform and enabling ecosystem. In practice, it offers design methods and a toolkit for colle...

This book presents the theories and methods for geology intelligent interpretation based on deep learning and remote sensing technologies. The main research subjects of this book include lithology and mineral abundance.This book focuses on the following five aspects: 1. Construction of geology remote sensing datasets from multi-level (pixel-level, scene-level, semantic segmentation-level, prior knowledge-assisted, transfer learning dataset), which are the basis of geology interpret...

This book examines the theory and methods of remote sensing intelligent interpretation based on deep learning. Based on geological and environmental effects on mines, this book constructs a set of systematic mine remote sensing datasets focusing on the multi-level task with the system of “target detection→scene classification→semantic segmentation."Taking China’s Hubei Province as an example, this book focuses on the following four aspects: 1. Development of a multiscale remote sen...

This brief introduces game- and decision-theoretical techniques for the analysis and design of resilient interdependent networks. It unites game and decision theory with network science to lay a system-theoretical foundation for understanding the resiliency of interdependent and heterogeneous network systems.The authors pay particular attention to critical infrastructure systems, such as electric power, water, transportation, and communications. They discuss how infrastructure netw...

The development of suitable assays, the integration of appropriate technology, and the effective management of the essential infrastructure are all critical to the success of any high-throughput screening (HTS) endeavor. However, few scientists have the multidisciplinary experience needed to control all aspects of an HTS drug discovery project. A P

This book delivers crucial historical background in these times, as bloc-building returns to the global economy and China and Russia massively intensify their economic cooperation. It gathers global cutting-edge research on the economic exchanges in the early years of the Cold War between the newly formed People’s Republic of China and Soviet Eastern Europe.Based on multidimensional archival sources from China, Eastern Europe, and beyond, this book departs from the traditional Cold...
