Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), with a history of thousands of years, is the crystallization of the ancient Chinese's experiences in their struggle against diseases. It is also an integral part of the Chinese's splendid culture. Under the influence and direction of classic Chinese philosophies, it has undergone long-term medical practice and infiltrated into, as well as absorbed from, other subjects in that point in time, thus gradually evolving into a unique medical theoretical system...

This book introduces the fundamentals and principles of laser shock peening (LSP) for aeronautical materials. It focuses on the innovation in both theory and method related to LSP-induced gradient structures in titanium alloys and Ni-based alloys which have been commonly used in aircraft industries. The main contents of the book include: the characteristics of laser shock wave, the formation mechanism of gradient structures and the strengthening-toughing mechanism by gradient structures. T...

This book presents a comprehensive framework for the theoretical analysis of space-air-ground networks using stochastic geometry. This analytical approach is indispensable for evaluating the performance of large-scale space-air-ground networks, which serve as critical facilitators for the advancement of the sixth-generation wireless communication aimed at providing high-speed broadband coverage for remote areas. By incorporating the features of topology and channel model in different tiers...
