The field of information technology continues to advance at a brisk pace, including the use of Remote Laboratory (RL) systems in education and research. To address the needs of remote laboratory development for such purposes, the authors present a new state-of-the-art unified framework for RL system development. Included are solutions to commonly encountered RL implementation issues such as third-party plugin, traversing firewalls, cross platform running, and scalability, etc.Addit...

This book employs a qualitative analysis of China’s publicly financed construction sector, taking the system design as its point of departure and applying comprehensive evaluation techniques to create an index system for this type of construction – which in turn serves as a basis for quantitatively evaluating China’s publicly financed construction sector. Given the fact that China’s publicly financed construction sector is a very complex field of systems engineering involving multiple subs...

**After Mao Zedong's Anti-Rightist Campaign of 1957–58, Chinese intellectuals were subjected to "re-education" by the state.**In Banished to the Great Northern Wilderness, Ning Wang draws on labor farm archives, interviews, and memoirs to provide a remarkable look at the suffering and complex psychological world of these banished Beijing intellectuals. Wang's use of newly uncovered Chinese-language sources challenges the concept of the intellectual as renegade martyr, showing how exiles of...

Applying the latest Western translation theories to the situation in China, this book redefines translation from an interdisciplinary and intercultural perspective, bringing intercultural semiotic translation into the sight of translation researchers.This book systematically expounds on the cultural turn in translation studies and contributes to the escape of translation studies from the "cage of language". It focuses on discussing the deconstructive, postmodernist, and cultural tr...

Few countries have been so transformed in recent decades as China. With a dynamically growing economy and a rapidly changing social structure, China challenges the West to understand the nature of its modernization. Using postmodernism as both a global frame of periodization and a way to break free from the rigid ideology of westernization as modernity, this volume’s diverse group of contributors argues that the Chinese experience is crucial for understanding postmodernism.Collectiv...
