This book seeks to reconcile the dual forces of war and economic globalization in tracing China's early modernity. For late imperial China, there were two forms of encounter with the West; the guns of invading Europeans, and the ledgers by which trade between China and the West was measured and regulated. Even today, China's reactions to the West oscillate between business-driven openness and military paranoia. In this intellectual tour de force, Bozhong Li, one of China's preeminent intellectual and economic historians, traces the unprecedented transition that led China into the modern world; the book will be of value for economists, historians, and sinophiles alike.
This proceedings brings together 59 selected articles presented at the joint conferences of the International Conference on Management, Information and Communication (ICMIC2016) and the International Conference on Optics and Electronics Engineering (ICOEE2016), which were held in Guilin, China, during May 28-29, 2016.ICMIC2016 and ICOEE2016 provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their latest findings and results in the development in Information Management, Communication, Optics and Electronics host by ICMIC2016 and ICOEE2016.The proceedings collected the latest research results and applications in the related areas. We hope to enlighten readers with some latest developments in Information Management, and Optics Electronics presented at the joint conferences.
This book mainly focuses on the solar energy conversion with the nanomaterials. It describes the applications on two dimensional carbon nanomaterials: graphene and graphdiyne. Also, works on conductive polymer and bio-inspired material is included. The work described here is the first few reports on the applications of graphene, which becomes one of the hottest materials nowadays. This work also proves and studies the charge transfer between the semi-conductor and graphene interface, which is benefit to the applications in solar cells and photocatalysis. At the same time, method to synthesize and assemble the given nanomaterials (TiO2 nanosheets, gold nanoparticles, graphene, PS-PAA, PANI) is detailed, which is easier to the readers to repeat the experiments.
