Applied Electrostatics (ICAES 2004)
This proceedings contains papers presented at the 5th International Conference on Applied Electrostatics held in Shanghai, China on November 2--5,2004. The ICAES 2004 Conference is of wide interest, as is shown by the contributions received from 11 countries and districts throughout the world. About 90 researchers attend the conference and more than 100 papers were submitted for presentation in the proceedings. The paper sessions covered following topics: - fundamentals and physics - applications (precipitation, pollution control, spray, separation, material, Ozone, etc.) - hazards and problems - biology technology - electrets - measuring technology - electromagnetic compatibility and others These papers demonstrated recent research level and developing trends of the entire electrostatic field.
The Dragon and the Snake
The United States Liaison Office (USLO) served as the diplomatic contact for Sino-American relations between the time of the Nixon-Kissinger opening of China in 1971-1972 and the achievement of full normalization in 1979. This book presents the importance of the USLO to American foreign policy in the 1970s.
The End of the Maoist Era: Chinese Politics During the Twilight of the Cultural Revolution, 1972-1976
This book launches an ambitious reexamination of the elite politics behind one of the most remarkable transformations in the late twentieth century. As the first part of a new interpretation of the evolution of Chinese politics during the years 1972-82, it provides a detailed study of the end of the Maoist era, demonstrating Mao's continuing dominance even as his ability to control events ebbed away. The tensions within the "gang of four," the different treatment of Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping, and the largely unexamined role of younger radicals are analyzed to reveal a view of the dynamic of elite politics that is at odds with accepted scholarship. The authors draw upon newly available documentary sources and extensive interviews with Chinese participants and historians to develop their challenging interpretation of one of the most poorly understood periods in the history of the People's Republic of China.
Droughts, Floods, and Global Climatic Anomalies in the Indian Ocean World
This book explores histories of droughts and floods in the Indian Ocean World, and their connections to broader global climatic anomalies. It deploys an interdisciplinary approach rooted in the emerging field of climate history to investigate the multifaceted effects of global climatic anomalies on regions affected by the Indian Ocean Monsoon System – regularly conceived of as the macro-region’s ‘deep structure.’ Case studies explore how droughts and floods related to anomalous climatic conditions have historically affected states, societies, and ecologies across the Indian Ocean World, including in relation to food security, epidemic diseases, political (in)stability, economic change, infrastructural development, colonialism, capitalism, and scientific knowledge. Tracing longue durée patterns from the twelfth to the early twentieth centuries, this book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of global climatic events and their effects on the Indian Ocean World. It highlights essential historical case studies for contextualizing the potential effects of global warming on the macro-region in the present and future.
Proceedings of the 2022 International Conference on Smart Manufacturing and Material Processing (SMMP2022)
Smart manufacturing is a broad category of manufacturing that employs computer-integration, high levels of adaptability and rapid design changes, together with digital information technology and a technically-trained workforce. This book presents the proceedings of SMMP2022, the 2022 International Conference on Smart Manufacturing and Material Processing, held on 12 and 13 August 2022 as a virtual event due to continuing restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and hosted from Shanghai, China. The conference provides a platform for researchers and scientists from smart manufacturing and material sciences to come together with researchers from various other application areas to discuss ...

Mao's Last Revolution
Explains why Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, and shows his Machiavellian role in masterminding it. This book documents the Hobbesian state that ensued. Power struggles raged among Lin Biao, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, and Jiang Qing - Mao's wife and leader of the Gang of Four - while Mao often played one against the other.
LASERS: EMERGING EXCELLENCE IN PROSTHODONTICS
Lasers are now part of our lives in many ways. They are in our computer printers and compact disc players, they record prices at the supermarket check-out, they light up rock concerts, and they guide weapons and measure distances between planets. Lasers have also revolutionized many surgical procedures, minimizing bleeding, swelling, scarring, and pain. And now they are beginning to blaze a new trail in dentistry
