This two volume set LNCS 7825 and LNCS 7826 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications, DASFAA 2013, held in Wuhan, China, in April 2013. The 51 revised full papers and 10 short papers presented together with 2 invited keynote talks, 1 invited paper, 3 industrial papers, 9 demo presentations, 4 tutorials and 1 panel paper were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 227 submissions. The topics covered in part 1 are social networks; query processing; nearest neighbor search; index; query analysis; XML data management; privacy protection; and uncertain data management; and in part 2: graph data management; physical design; knowledge management; temporal data management; social networks; query processing; data mining; applications; and database applications.
Mathematics and Science education have both grown in fertile directions in different geographic regions. Yet, the mainstream discourse in international handbooks does not lend voice to developments in cognition, curriculum, teacher development, assessment, policy and implementation of mathematics and science in many countries. Paradoxically, in spite of advances in information technology and the “flat earth” syndrome, old distinctions and biases between different groups of researcher’s persist. In addition limited accessibility to conferences and journals also contribute to this problem. The International Sourcebooks in Mathematics and Science Education focus on under-represented regio...

This book reviews the progresses and achievements made in the past 20 years of research on soil pollution and remediation in China, and presents 50 review and research articles from all over China, including Hong Kong and Taiwan. The authors include scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and managers from 26 universities, 18 institutes, 4 leading enterprises and 2 government environmental protection departments. The contents cover fundamental research on soil pollution and remediation, technical development, project demonstration, policy and governance. The polluted soil/site types include farmland, industrial sites, mining areas and oilfields, with heavy metals (cadmium, arsenic, copper, chro...
Lists citations with abstracts for aerospace related reports obtained from world wide sources and announces documents that have recently been entered into the NASA Scientific and Technical Information Database.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering, WISE 2006, held in Wuhan, China in October 2006. The 37 revised full papers and 17 revised short papers presented together with three invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 183 submissions.
This book provides a comprehensive yet accessible overview of land systems vulnerability assessment in Asia - fundamental to the understanding of the link between global change, environmental sustainability and human wellbeing. The extent and intensity of human interactions with the environment have increased spectacularly since the Industrial Revolution. Thus, the global change research community and development practitioners increasingly recognize the need to address the adverse consequences of changes taking place in the structure and function of the biosphere and the implications for society. With a focus on Asia, this book provides an overview of the vulnerability of land systems and th...
This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of the three workshops held in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Web Information Systems, WISE 2006, in Wuhan, China, in October 2006.
This book constitutes the reviewed proceedings of the first International Conference on Cloud Computing, CloudCom 2009, held in Beijing, China, December 1-4, 2009. The 42 full papers presented together with four invited papers were carefully selected from 200 submissions. This book includes but are not limited to deal with topics like cloud /grid architecture, load balancing, optimal deploy configuration, consistency models, virtualization technologies, middleware frameworks, software as a Service (SaaS), hardware as a Service (HaaS), data grid & semantic web, web services, security and Risk, fault tolerance and reliability, auditing, monitoring and scheduling, utility computing, high-performance computing and peer to peer computing.
This book seeks to illustrate the research on mathematics competencies and disposition in China according to the conceptual development and empirical investigation perspective. Mathematics education in China has a distinguishing feature a focus of attention to mathematical competency. Paradoxically, there has not been an explicit, refined, and measurable evaluation system in place to assess mathematical competency in China. While academic achievement surveys or evaluations are common, these can only give an overall conclusion about mathematical thinking skills or problem solving abilities. In response to this deficiency, China is beginning to carry out national projects that emphasize defini...
