This book is based on real life,the real story.This story tells how an ordinary Chinese girl, penniless, survived life and death, boarded a famous interview on TV,but she sacrificed herself, and saved her classmates.How did she endure the ordeal and adhere to the ideal of goodness?At the age of 14, Jane was admitted to the medical university,who was almost penniless at the time, had just experienced domestic violence and was wounded,first time to Beijing. How did Ja...

Built on twenty years of fieldwork in rural Jiangyong of Hunan Province in south China, this book explores the world's only gender-defined and now disappearing "women's script" known as nüshu. What drove peasant women to create a script of their own and write, and how do those writings throw new light on how gender is addressed in epistemology and historiography and how the unprivileged social class uses marginalized forms of expression to negotiate with the dominant social structure. Furt...

In the context of coupled-coordination control mechanisms, this book focuses on the delay robustness of consensus problems with asynchronously coupled and synchronously coupled consensus algorithms respectively. Moreover, constructive consensus algorithms that tolerate larger communication delays are proposed according to idea of compensation. By providing rigorous theoretical proofs and numerous numerical simulations, it enhances readers’ understanding of the consensus coordination contro...

The content spans new transmission theories and modeling methods (e.g., digital twin-driven lifecycle design), smart materials (composites/polymers), green manufacturing technologies, and AI-integrated optimization strategies for transmission systems. The book focuses...

This book provides robust analysis and synthesis tools for Markovian jump systems in the finite-time domain with specified performances. It explores how these tools can make the systems more applicable to fields such as economic systems, ecological systems and solar thermal central receivers, by limiting system trajectories in the desired bound in a given time interval.Robust Control for Discrete-Time Markovian Jump Systems in the Finite-Time Domain focuses on multiple asp...

Internet of things (IoT) is a new type of network that combines communication technology, expanded applications, and physical devices. Among them, agriculture is one of the most important areas in the application of the IoT technology, which has its unique requirements and integration features. Compared to the information technology in traditional agriculture, the agricultural IoT mainly refers to industrialized production and sustainable development under relatively controllable condition...
