This series of books focuses on the internal wave hydrodynamic effects on submersibles. As the first book in the series, it specifically studies the patterns and mechanisms of interaction between internal waves and submersibles. Internal waves are widely-present in the stratified ocean and are a type of nonlinear, large-amplitude wave phenomenon. Submersibles are highly likely to encounter internal waves during underwater operations, which can severely affect the stability and hydrodynamic...

A collection of short-stories peeking into the lives of three twenty-somethings in the midst of their respective quarter life crises. A mix of autobiography and fiction, the authors' raw storytelling explores how love, personhood, and a lot of trauma shapes a person of five and twenty.

Microbial Genomics: Host Adaptation, Virulence, and Evolution covers different aspects of microbial genomics, metagenomics, and functional studies of microbes that have provided a significant understanding of microbial-host interactions, virulence function, host adaptation mechanisms, including microbial evolution. Microbial Genomics: Host Adaptation, virulence, and Evolution is a comprehensive source on the latest updates and applications of microbial genomics information to understand th...

This book introduces the current approaches in prokaryotic taxonomy and streamlines the advanced techniques for use in prokaryotic systematics. While highlighting the key differences in the taxonomy of cultured and not-yet-cultured bacteria and archaea, it presents the genomic technology involved in microbial systematics that serves as comprehensive guidelines for isolating and identifying bacteria. Microbial systematics is a fundamentally important discipline area for microbiologists and ...

By assessing the transition in enterprise-employee relations in China over the six decades since the founding of the nation and the three decades since the implementation of a reform and opening up policy, this book investigates these changes from three key perspectives: occupation, operation and governance.The book chiefly analyzes the unit system structure of enterprises and mechanisms such as apprentice systems inside organizations and proposes a combination of systematic govern...

New image-processing tools and data-processing network systems have considerably increased the volume of transmitted information such as 2D and 3D images with high resolution. Thus, more complex networks and long processing times become necessary, and high image quality and transmission speeds are requested for an increasing number of applications. To satisfy these two requests, several, either numerical or optical solutions, were offered separately. Advanced Secure Optical Image Proce...

This book starts with detailed community-based poverty-alleviation cases and focuses on several important aspects in this field to demonstrate the intervention methods, theoretical paradigms, and intervention models of poverty-alleviation social work. Based on the introduction to the characteristics, theoretical foundation, and practical model of community-based poverty-alleviation social work, this book elaborates the specific operation processes from the perspectives of community interve...

This book examines the cross-cultural adaptation experiences of international scholars working at Shanghai’s top public research universities. On the basis of in-depth interviews, it comprehensively assesses the organisational culture of Chinese universities, recurring problems in international scholars’ cross-cultural adaptation processes, and the coping strategies they employ in response.The book focus on the real lives and working experiences of international scholars in China, ...

This title provides a unique theoretical framework for multi-mode resonant antennas and different approaches to their implementation, with an emphasis on mode gauge functionality, a new concept for a clear identification and flexible control of all usable resonant modes in multi-mode resonant antenna design.The book commences by advancing a generalized odd-even mode theory as a general theoretical framework for resonant elementary antennas, offering new insights into the classical ...
