Merchants, Market and Monarchy
This book explores the vital role of merchants within early modern China. Unlike European merchants, their Sino-colleagues have long been regarded as certain social pariahs after pre-Qin period, despite the fortune they made. The key mission of this monograph is to investigate whether the standing of merchants in the Ming Empire has been improved compared with their predecessors. Generally, their status is reflected in state-merchant relationship and their role in the market, which can be found in miscellaneous economic activities such as market monopoly, commercial taxation, international trade, and consumption. This book aims to be of relevance to students and researchers interested in early modern history, eastern commerce, Ming merchants, and contemporary global affairs.
Advances in Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Algorithms
Computers and automation have revolutionized the lives of most people in the last two decades, and terminology such as algorithms, big data and artificial intelligence have become part of our everyday discourse. This book presents the proceedings of CAIBDA 2023, the 3rd International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Algorithms, held from 16 - 18 June 2023 as a hybrid conference in Zhengzhou, China. The conference provided a platform for some 200 participants to discuss the theoretical and computational aspects of research in artificial intelligence, big data and algorithms, reviewing the present status and future perspectives of the field. A total of 362 submissions were r...

European and Chinese Histories of Economic Thought
The Western literature on the history of Chinese economic thought is sparse, and comparisons with the history of Western economic thought even more so. This pioneering book brings together Western and Chinese scholars to reflect on the historical evolution of economic thought in Europe and China. The international panel of contributors cover key topics such as currency, usury, land tenure, the granary system, welfare, and government, and special attention is given to monetary institutions and policies. The problem of "good government" emerges as the unifying thread of a complex analysis that includes both theoretical issues and applied economics. Chinese lines of evolution include the proble...
3D Concrete Printing Technology
3D Concrete Printing Technology provides valuable insights into the new manufacturing techniques and technologies needed to produce concrete materials. In this book, the editors explain the concrete printing process for mix design and the fresh properties for the high-performance printing of concrete, along with commentary regarding their extrudability, workability and buildability. This is followed by a discussion of three large-scale 3D printings of ultra-high performance concretes, including their processing setup, computational design, printing process and materials characterization. Properties of 3D-printed fiber-reinforced Portland cement paste and its flexural and compressive strength, density and porosity and the 3D-printing of hierarchical materials is also covered. - Explores the factors influencing the mechanical properties of 3D printed products out of magnesium potassium phosphate cement material - Includes methods for developing Concrete Polymer Building Components for 3D Printing - Provides methods for formulating geopolymers for 3D printing for construction applications
Circle of Logistics
Hampir tidak ada keseharian tanpa aktivitas logistik, baik dalam kegiatan sosial, bisnis, militer, maupun bantuan kemanusiaan. Misi dari aktivitas logistik adalah membuat kehidupan berjalan normal, tanpa masalah sehingga orang dapat melaksanakan peran dan aktivitasnya. Sistem logistik harus tetap bergerak, meskipun kehadirannya kadang tidak disukai. “Orang-orang Jepang paling suka sandwich, tetapi mereka tidak mau menerima kehadiran truk yang membawa sandwich ke konbini (convenience store) di dekat rumah-rumah, perkantoran, atau tempat-tempat publik. Insan logistik (logisticians) harus bekerja tanpa terlihat. Sebisa mungkin tanpa dirasakan kehadirannya. Demi sebuah misi mulia, logistik menyediakan produk-produk yang diperlukan warga,” demikian ungkap Profesor Hirohito Kuse, Guru Besar Sistem Distribusi dan Logistik Universitas Ryutsu Keizai, IDLM AOTS. Lahir dari proses kreatif, berbagai tulisan dalam buku ini menyampaikan pesan penting peran logistik, strategi, operasional logistik, dan pembelajaran praktik-praktik terbaiknya. Logistik sebagai seni dan ilmu manajemen, perlu dipelajari dan diterapkan di semua sisi kehidupan.
