Bioactive Materials for Disease Diagnosis and Therapy
With their advantages of controlled delivery and modular flexibility, biomaterials have fundamentally revolutionized disease diagnosis and therapy. Bioactive nanomaterials are not simple miniaturizations of macroscopic materials. They exhibit unique and intrinsic bioactivities as they readily acquire a precise structure upon interaction with the biological environment. Nowadays, bioactive materials offer great potential in eliciting specific responses and regulations of living tissues for diagnostics, therapeutics, and regenerative medicine. We are optimistic that the increasing innovations and advances in bioactive and biomimetic materials with sophisticated bioactivities and controllable responsiveness will make an important contribution to the next generation of biomaterials and biomedical engineering.
School Bullying in Different Cultures
School bullying is recognized as an international problem, but publications have focussed on the Western tradition of research. This is the first volume to bring together perspectives on school bullying from a range of Eastern as well as Western countries, covering basic findings, direct comparisons, explanations and implications for intervention.
Chemical Process Design, Simulation and Optimization
The book presents a series of articles devoted to modeling, simulation, and optimization of processes, mainly chemical. General methods for process modeling and numerical simulation are described with flowsheeting. Population balances are addressed in detail with application to crystal production; energy saving is frequently optimized, including exergy analysis. The coupling between process simulation and computational fluid dynamics is studied for air classification and bubble columns. Pressure swing adsorption, reactive distillation, and nanofiltration are explained in general and applied to particular processes. The synthesis of carbon dots is solved by the design of experiments method. A safety study addresses the consequences of gas explosion.
Deciphering the interaction mechanism between copper and polysulfides for enhanced performance and cost-efficiency in quasi-sodium-sulfur batteries
Room-temperature Na-S batteries with Al current collectors face the long-standing challenges of poor cycling performance and rate capability due to the serious sodium polysulfides (NaPSs) shuttling and sluggish reaction kinetics. Here, we demonstrate that a high-performance and low-cost quasi-Na-S battery can be realized by using the Cu@carbon nanotube (CNT) cathode host and unconventional Cu current collector (Cu-CC) in an ether electrolyte. Detailed ex-situ characterizations reveal that the Cu@CNT/S was transformed to NaPSs anchoring on Cu7S4 nanocrystals (~11 nm) during the cycling, forming the NaPS@Cu7S4/CNT cathode with robust sulfur immobilization and enhanced Na+ reaction kinetics.

Spymaster
The most feared man in China, Dai Li, was chief of Chiang Kai-shek's secret service during World War II. This sweeping biography of "China's Himmler," based on recently opened intelligence archives, traces Dai's rise from obscurity as a rural hooligan and Green Gang blood-brother to commander of the paramilitary units of the Blue Shirts and of the dreaded Military Statistics Bureau: the world's largest spy and counterespionage organization of its time. In addition to exposing the inner workings of the secret police, whose death squads, kidnappings, torture, and omnipresent surveillance terrorized critics of the Nationalist regime, Dai Li's personal story opens a unique window on the clandest...

Advanced Metric Wave Radar
This book systematically describes advanced metric wave radar and its practical applications, offering a comprehensive introduction to the engineering design methods from the perspectives of system design, antenna/feed and transmit/receive subsystems, as well as mechanical structure design. Focusing on the height-finding method, it describes in detail how the super-resolution technique can be used to solve the problem of low-angle height finding in metric wave radar. It also discusses the anti-jamming method for the unique jamming environment. Further, it presents narrowband target recognition methods to overcome the limitations of narrow absolute bandwidth in metric wave radar and to further explore the technique’s potential. Cooperative detection for metric wave radar netting is also addressed, and the main experimental results are included. The book offers a valuable resource for professional engineers, researchers and teachers, as well as graduate students engaged in radar system engineering, electronic engineering, and signal processing.
Photonic Glasses
This book introduces the fundamental mechanism of photonic glasses — the linear and nonlinear optical effects in glass under intense light irradiation: phot-induced absorption, refraction, polarization, frequency, coherence and monochromaticity changes. Emphasis is placed on new developments in the structure, spectroscopy and physics of new glassy materials for photonics applications, such as optical communication, optical data storage, new lasers and new photonic components and devices. The book presents the research results of the authors in new glasses for photonics over the last decade.
