The Mystery of Moutai
A teenager returns home from school to find a gruesome scene: the apartment he shares with his mother, Shao Mei, in Boston’s Chinatown has been ransacked and his mother is dead. There is a bottle of Moutai, the most expensive and exotic Chinese liquor, left at the scene and traces of rat poison in one of the two shot glasses on the kitchen counter. This was evidently a homicide, but who could possibly be the killer? Ann Lee and Fang Chen, close friends of the victim, are eager to help the Police unearth her murderer. Realizing that important clues behind the motive may be buried deep in Shao Mei’s past, they travel to Beijing where the victim spent decades of her adult life. Surrounded by the antiquities of China’s rich history, they stumble into a cobweb of mystery and danger. Fearing for their lives but determined to press on, they unearth a scandal far greater than either could have imagined.
An Intangible Affair
The first time Jamie meets Jim, she is a graduate student, and he is a dashing young man embarking on a successful career in pharmaceutical research. They cultivate a mutual affection for each other while pursuing different goals in life. When Jamie meets Jim again years later, she has broken up with her long-time boyfriend, and he is having marital problems. A one-night stand in a remote hotel turns their friendship into a two-decade long love affair. When their liaison becomes too difficult to sustain, it brings a crisis to its head. The accidental death of Jim’s wife clears the way for the lovers, but instead of uniting with Jamie, Jim commits suicide. Suspenseful and gripping, An Intangible Affair is a tale of passion and deception, friendship and love.
The Fatal Sin of Love
In Beacon Hill, one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Boston, a wealthy widow dies in her sleep, while in Cambridge, where academia meets high tech, a dog is slaughtered. One death has seemingly no bearing on the other until the death in a remote Chinese village is announced. Answering the call from a friend, amateur detectives Ann Lee and Fang Chen rush to the ancient village, where the branches of a family tree stretch from China to New Zealand, Australia, and the US, and where—to Ann’s great chagrin—Fang Chen becomes obsessed with a girl being pursued by a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to sacrifice her in the name of love. Will Fang Chen’s untimely passion get in the way of his investigation and destroy his partnership with Ann? Can the amateur sleuths outsmart the cunning and crafty killer?
The Sound of Spring
The Sound of Spring is a love story against the background of the final months of the Cultural Revolution. It touches on China’s history and problems in the era following the development and rupture of a love affair between the protagonists, Du Chun Ming and Fang Si Jun.
Advanced Materials and Techniques for Structural Monitoring, Analysis and Control
Assessing the service status and maintaining the safety of existing structures are critical to the sustainable operations of various engineering and cross-industry, including civil infrastructures, railways and machinery. Static and dynamic structural characteristics play a key role in the global deterioration assessment of the structural performance, which has enabled structural monitoring and analysis technology to become an active focus in the engineering area. Meanwhile, structural control has been widely used in modern structural engineering. Structural control devices are implemented to enhance deteriorating structures and mitigate natural disasters. Through advanced structural control technology, the structural responses can be controlled. These structural control techniques include passive, active or semi-active reverse forces, which aim to modify structural stiffness, mass and damping with minimal control force. Structural control, monitoring and analysis complement each other, ensuring the safety of the structure to the greatest extent.
The Mystery of Revenge
A body was found in the living room of a concert pianist, shot to death. Yi-yun Lin, the deceased, was a foreign student from China. No murder weapon was found on the scene, no sign of forced entry. It was seemingly a homicide, but who was the killer? All the evidence points to her boyfriend, the concert pianist, but Detective Paul Winderman of the Boston Police Department has his doubts. The victim’s ex-husband has vowed revenge on several occasions. Someone from her past might also want her dead. The tale of Mystery of Revenge is a melting pot of love, desire, jealousy and greed. Proceed with caution; the facts could be deceiving.
Forget Me Not
A story of everlasting love between two childhood friends, Lily Zhang and Li Ling, who were thrown together and then tore apart by the evil force of the Cultural Revolution, the most horrifying ten-year terror in the modern history of China. When the Revolution ended, they ran into each other again at the university. Even though their love rekindled and intensified, the fate continued to tear them apart until Lily was forced to transfer, and Li Ling left the country for United States. Twenty years later, Li Ling receives a letter from his lover that would certainly turn his life in a quiet seashore New England town upside down.
Wetting and Wettability
On the liquid 's surface, the molecules have fewer neighbors in comparison with the bulk volume. As a result, the energy interaction shows itself in the surface tension. Traditionally, the surface tension can be assumed as a force in the unit of the length which can be counted by the unit of Newton on squared meter, or energy on the units of the surface. The surface tension, implies the interface between liquid and vapor, which is an example of the surface tensions. The equilibrium between these surface tensions, decides that a droplet on a solid surface, would have a droplet form or will change to layer form. This book collects new developments in wetting and wettability science.
