With rapid commercialization, a booming urban economy, and the relaxation of state migration policies, over 100 million peasants, known as China s floating population, have streamed into large cities seeking employment and a better life. This massive flow of rural migrants directly challenges Chinese socialist modes of state control. This book ...
Lintong was the burial ground of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor to unify China in a series of bloody wars from 246 BC to 221 BC. Subsequently he laid the groundwork, on strictly Confucian principles, for the following government of China, even though his own dynasty barely outlasted his death in 210 BC. About 700,000 convicts worked in ...
Vision sensors have limited fields of views and can only "see" a portion of a scene from a single viewpoint. To make the entire object visible, the sensor has to be moved from one place to another around the object to observe all features of interest, which brings a multiview vision task that has to be solved by means of active perception. The ...

Authored jointly by a veteran scholar and an ...
The Riemann problem is the most fundamental problem in the entire field of non-linear hyperbolic conservation laws. Since first posed and solved in 1860, great progress has been achieved in the one-dimensional case. However, the two-dimensional case is substantially different. Although research interest in it has lasted more than a century, it has ...
Under-urbanisation, defined as the achievement of a high industrial growth without a parallel growth of urban population, is one of the profound features of socialist development. Under-urbanisation in China, in effect, represents a seriously distorted relationship between urbanisation process and economic development as conventionally understood ...

The Numisheet Conferences occur once every three years, alternating in location between North America, Europe, and Asia. The conference attracts international participation from the metal forming industry and university professors interested in sheet metal forming technology, with a strong emphasis on forming simulation. Although the conference is ...
Under Quality of Service (QoS) routing, paths for flows are selected based upon the knowledge of resource availability at network nodes and the QoS requirements of flows. QoS routing schemes proposed differ in the way they gather information about the network state and select paths based on this information. We broadly categorize these schemes ...

Energy has been described as 'that which makes things go'. Air conditioning accounts for 1/3 of the total energy use in society. Further, ventilation air accounts for 20-40 percent of the cooling load for HVAC (Heating, ventilating, and Air conditioning) industry. The ratio can be even higher in hot and humid regions where latent load from fresh ...
