This book gives an overview of current progress of topological phases in structured classical magnetism and acts as an important reference for designing novel topological spintronic devices. The text explores basic topological models and provides readers with an overall understanding of topological phases in magnetic systems. References to important original literature are included throughout as well as extended reading. The concepts of topological magnonic devices proposed in the book enc...

Multi-wave mixing gives rise to new frequency components due to the interaction of light signals with a suitable nonlinear medium. In this book a systematic framework for the control of these processes is used to lead readers through a plethora of related effects and techniques.

This book is the first systematic account of mega urban projects in China, covering their construction, operation and planning. It is a detailed examination of the planning and construction of Hongqiao and its impact on local residents. In short, the aim of this book is to examine the process of planning and development of the Hongqiao transportation and commercial zone, to explore its relationship to urban development and spatial restructuring in Shanghai, and in doing so to comment on an...

Multilingual text recognition is crucial for cross language information acquisition and related applications in the mobile computing era. The core problem is to find efficient representation and decoding methods for multilingual text recognition, including scene text recognition or handwriting recognition tasks.This book introduces a novel deep learning framework termed Primitive Representation Learning for sequence modeling. In contrast to conventional approaches that employ either (1) co...

This introduction to the singularly perturbed methods in the nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations emphasises the existence and local uniqueness of solutions exhibiting concentration property. The authors avoid using sophisticated estimates and explain the main techniques by thoroughly investigating two relatively simple but typical non-compact elliptic problems. Each chapter then progresses to other related problems to help the reader learn more about the general theories deve...

This book focuses on software fault detection and correction processes, presenting 5 different paired models introduced over the last decade and discussing their applications, in particular to determining software release time.The first work incorporates the testing effort function and the fault introduction process into the paired fault detection and fault correction models. The second work incorporates fault dependency, while the third adopts a Markov approach for studying fault ...

Language ability is a unique human trait, and it is indispensable throughout the human life cycle. Blockchain on the other hand, is an innovation that will transform production relationships, change collaboration models and distribution of benefits between people. Language and blockchain seem to have no intersection, yet they are bewilderingly similar in certain ways.When Language Meets Blockchain leads us into an exploratory journey to discover the possibilities of integrating blockchain ...
