Design of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures Using High-Strength Materials
High-strength materials offer alternatives to frequently used materials for high-rise construction. A material of higher strength means a smaller member size is required to resist the design load. However, high-strength concrete is brittle, and high-strength thin steel plates are prone to local buckling. A solution to overcome such problems is to adopt a steel-concrete composite design in which concrete provides lateral restraint to steel plates against local buckling, and steel plates provide confinement to high-strength concrete. Design of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures Using High Strength Materials provides guidance on the design of composite steel-concrete structures using combined ...
Pioneers of Modern China
Amongst the Chinese exists great cultural variety and diversity. The Cantonese care more for profit than face and are good businessmen, whereas Fujian R(r)n are frank, blunt and outspoken but daring and generous. Beijing R(r)n are more aristocratic and well-mannered, having stayed in a city ruled by emperors of different dynasties. Shanghai R(r)n are more enterprising, adventurous and materialistic but less aristocratic, having been at the center of pre-war gangsterism. Hainan R(r)n are straightforward, blunt and stubborn. Hunan R(r)n are more warlike and have produced more marshals and generals than any other province. Pioneers of Modern China is a fascinating book that paints a vivid picture of the unique cultural characteristics and behavior of the Chinese in the various provinces. Using leaders in the modern history of China, such as Sun Yat Sen, Chiang Kai Shek, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao as representatives, it offers an in-depth look into the psyche of the Chinese people. It also pays tribute to writers, painters and kungfu experts, who have helped to develop the country socially and artistically."

Pioneer of the Chinese Revolution
Shimada Kenji is one of Japan's greatest sinologists, with formidable scholarly accomplishments in many fields--classical Chinese thought, Neo-Confucianism in China and Japan, late Qing thought, the 1911 Revolution, and Sino-Japanese relations. This book consists of two long essays touching on one of Shimada's abiding themes, the influence of domestic Chinese systems of thought on the development of Chinese revolutionary thought. This massive project engages Shimada's greatest strength, a profound awareness of and deep study in the history of Chinese philosophy and religion, when examining the people and ideas that culminated in the 1911 Revolution and the end of the imperial institution in ...

IoT as a Service
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on IoT as a service, IoTaaS 2017, held in Taichung, Taiwan, in September 2017. The 46 full papers were carefully selected from 65 submissions. The papers deal with the “Everything as a Service” deployment paradigm which enables the easy adoption of IoT based services and applications by end-users, and forces providers of smart objects and middleware platforms to architect their solutions accordingly. The three special sessions organized were Wearable Technology and Applications (WTAA), Building Smart Machine Applications (BSMA), and Security and Privacy in Internet of Things, Services and People (SP-IoTSP). The WTAA special session aimed to address the challenges of maintaining high efficiency of WTAA in terms of high recognition rate, energy consumption, computational costs and so forth. The BSMA special session aimed to explore how to construct smart machines architecture for the industry under the background of IoT and big data. The SP-IoTSP special session aimed to investigate recent research and future directions for IoTSP security and privacy.
