"Sainthood" has been, and remains, a contested category in China, given the commitment of China's modern leadership to secularization, modernization, and revolution, and the discomfort of China's elite with matters concerning religion. However, sainted religious leaders have succeeded in rebuilding old institutions and creating new ones despite the Chinese government's censure. This book offers a new perspective on the history of religion in modern and contemporary China by focusing on the profiles of these religious leaders from the early 20th century through the present. Edited by noted authorities in the field of Chinese religion, Making Saints in Modern China offers biographies of promin...
The Patterned Mindoffers new points of view and current methods for surface design. High-quality and inspiring pictures encourage you to immediately start creating something new. Understanding with your hands and the presence of play in design lie at the core of this book. The book introduces creative patterning methods and describes inspiring working methods. It also discusses the latest technical applications that can be used as surface design tools. The methods introduced can be applied to various different fields of design and art. The methods of inventing introduced in this book serve anyone who wishes to get in touch with their own creative side and wants to utilise it professionally or in their hobbies.
Future space missions and deep-sea explorations will require small/micro nuclear reactors (kWe~MWe) for power generation. Compared with conventional energy systems such as storage batteries and fossil energy, nuclear reactors are featured higher energy intensity, higher reliability, and longer lifetime. According to the coolant, the candidate small/micro nuclear reactors include the heat pipe cooled reactor, liquid metal cooled reactor, and gas-cooled reactor, most of which are still in the conceptual design stage with numerical studies and experimental research. These emerging reactors have an entirely different core structure and working principle from the existing light water reactors, which has led to an increasing need for updated simulation methods and experimental studies.
This thesis proposes new approaches for modelling contacting interactions and electrostatic interactions between microparticles in the framework of the discrete element method and presents a systematic investigation on the agglomeration, migration and deposition of microparticles in presence of electrostatic and flow fields. It reports an exponential-form scaling for the size distribution of early-stage agglomerates in homogeneous isotropic turbulence and formulate the agglomeration and deagglomeration rates. The evolution of spherical clouds of charged particles that migrate under the action of an external electrostatic field is then investigated. Scaling laws of cloud radius and particle number density are obtained by solving a continuum convection equation. Finally, it investigates the deposition of charged particles on a flat plane and fibers. A dimensionless adhesion parameter is constructed to predict the structure of deposits. The temporal evolution of the deposit structure, particle capture efficiency, and the pressure drop are displayed with varying values of Coulomb repulsion and adhesion magnitudes.
Kuviollinen mieli -kirja tarjoaa uusia näkökulmia ja ajankohtaisia tekotapoja pintasuunnitteluun. Laadukkaat ja inspiroivat kuvat kannustavat välittömään tekemisen aloittamiseen. Ytimessä ovat käsillä ymmärtäminen ja leikin läsnäolo suunnittelussa. Kirja koostuu luovien kuviointimenetelmien esittelystä ja innostavien työskentelytapojen kuvauksista. Mukana on myös uusimpia teknisiä sovelluksia, joita voidaan käyttää pintasuunnittelun apuvälineinä. Esiteltyjä menetelmiä voi soveltaa monialaisesti suunnittelun ja taiteen eri alueille. Laura Isoniemi esittelee kirjassa ideointimenetelmiä, jotka palvelevat ketä tahansa, joka toivoo pääsevänsä kosketuksiin oman luovan puolensa kanssa ja haluaa hyödyntää sitä ammatillisesti tai harrastusmielessä. Esiteltyjä menetelmiä voi soveltaa monialaisesti suunnittelun ja taiteen eri alueille.
