Computational Intelligence
This is the proceedings of the International Conference on Intelligent Computing, ICIC 2006, Kunming, China, August 2006. The book presents 165 revised full papers, carefully chosen and reviewed, organized in topical sections on fuzzy systems, fuzzy-neuro-evolutionary hybrids, supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning, intelligent agent and Web applications, intelligent fault diagnosis, natural language processing and expert systems, natural language human-machine interface using artificial neural networks, and intelligent financial engineering.
Advances in Computer Science and Engineering
This book includes the proceedings of the second International Conference on Advances in Computer Science and Engineering (CES 2012), which was held during January 13-14, 2012 in Sanya, China. The papers in these proceedings of CES 2012 focus on the researchers’ advanced works in their fields of Computer Science and Engineering mainly organized in four topics, (1) Software Engineering, (2) Intelligent Computing, (3) Computer Networks, and (4) Artificial Intelligence Software.
Optimal Combination of Air-Related Policies
To control severe air pollution, multiple policies have been adopted in China. However, it remains unclear which policies actually mitigate air pollution when multiple policies are adopted together. This paper aims to systemically quantify the effectiveness of fifteen air-related policies and identify the optimal policy combinations for air quality improvements. We employ a fixed-effects regression model with the latest dataset from 334 Chinese cities from 2015 to 2019. We show here that adoption of policy combinations with different types of measures can achieve greater and more effective air improvement results owing to the complementary effects among policies. The effects of policy combinations with the same types of measures are relatively weak due to substitution effects. A holistic policy package involving different policy measures, such as stringent emissions standards for industry, energy transition strategies for residents, market-based trading mechanisms and multi-level supervision, may be the optimal strategy for air quality improvement.
Climate Governance and Federalism
A review of federal and decentralised systems of governance, and whether these facilitate or hinder climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Construction Safety and Waste Management
This monograph presents an analysis of construction safety problems and on-site safety measures from an economist’s point of view. The book includes examples from both emerging countries, e.g. China and India, and developed countries, e.g. Australia and Hong Kong. Moreover, the author covers an analysis on construction safety knowledge sharing by means of updatable mobile technology such as apps in Androids and iOS platform mobile devices. The target audience comprises primarily researchers and experts in the field but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.
Computer and Computing Technologies in Agriculture IV
This book constitutes Part I of the refereed four-volume post-conference proceedings of the 4th IFIP TC 12 International Conference on Computer and Computing Technologies in Agriculture, CCTA 2010, held in Nanchang, China, in October 2010. The 352 revised papers presented were carefully selected from numerous submissions. They cover a wide range of interesting theories and applications of information technology in agriculture, including simulation models and decision-support systems for agricultural production, agricultural product quality testing, traceability and e-commerce technology, the application of information and communication technology in agriculture, and universal information service technology and service systems development in rural areas.
Mathematics for Human Flourishing in the Time of COVID-19 and Post COVID-19
The International Chair in Mathematical Physics and Applications (ICMPA - UNESCO chair), University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin, and the Center for Applied Mathematics of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Niš, CAM-FMEN, organized a webinar on Mathematics for human flourishing in the time of COVID-19 and post COVID-19, 21 October 2020, supported by the City of Niš. The objectives of the webinar were to give precise information about the work that scientists do to cure the disease, to push forward technology, to understand our society and create new expressions of humanity, and to question the role of mathematics in the responses to this pandemic.

Princesse impériale
Chine, 824. Fei Long n’a pas le choix : s’il veut sauver l’honneur de sa famille, il doit à tout prix trouver une remplaçante à sa sœur fugitive, censée épouser un seigneur khitan sur ordre de l’empereur. Hélas, à seulement deux mois de la cérémonie, il désespère de rencontrer la candidate idéale. Jusqu’à ce que son chemin croise celui de Yan Ling, une ravissante servante au tempérament de feu. Bien sûr, elle n’a pas l’élégance et le raffinement d’une princesse impériale, mais avec un peu de volonté – et beaucoup de travail –, elle jouera son rôle à la perfection, Fei Long en est convaincu. Oui, Yan Ling est la solution à tous ses problèmes. A condition qu’il ne tombe pas sous son charme avant de la livrer à l’empereur... A propos de l’auteur Jeannie Lin a écrit son premier roman alors qu’elle était professeur de sciences à Los Angeles, mais ce n’est qu’en 2009 que son manuscrit reçoit le prix Golden Heart. Depuis, Jeannie Lin n’a pas renoncé à sa passion pour l’Orient, qui sert de cadre à ses envoûtantes histoires d’amour. Princesse Impériale est son premier roman publié dans la collection Best-Sellers.
Cultural Leadership in Transition Tourism
Cultural tourism has proved to be a significant source of economic development for cultural destinations, but it has also emerged as a sometimes potentially controversial and unsustainable phenomenon. The recent pandemic has also pointed out that we need different models of development of tourism, that include a more balanced approach to cultural components in cities and rural areas. Calls have been made on the need to design more sustainable models of tourism development for cultural destinations, conceiving tourism as a means to increasing the quality of life and generating economic opportunities in cities and regions by involving their communities and stakeholders. This book presents an i...
