This book focuses on the Han Chinese (mainly former Kuomintang troops and their family members as well as descendants) and cross-border ethic tribes (mainly Lahu people) of Yunnan origin now living in Meilianghe Village (Ban Huay Nam Khun) in northern Thailand. It is an ethnographic study of how this special group of people left Yunnan Province in Southwest China, migrated to northern Thailand via Myanmar, and underwent various survival predicaments before submitting to Thailand as its cit...

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 provides a comprehensive discussion of Adaptable Design (AD). It covers the conception, method, and application of AD to the real-world product design. AD's benefits are substantial as it upgrades, reuses, remanufactures and recycles products throughout the product lifecycle. It rapidly adapts the existing design in development of new designs. Key elements of AD include rationalized function structures, adaptable product architectures, adaptable interfaces, and adaptability evalu...
