China’s late-imperial history has been framed as a long coda of decline, played out during the Qing dynasty. Reappraising this narrative, Stephen Halsey traces the origins of China’s current great-power status to this so-called decadent era, when threats of war with European and Japanese empirestriggered innovative state-building and statecraft.
This book discusses systematically the many variations of vacation policy. The book discusses a variety of typical vacation model applications. The presentation style is unique compared with the books published in the same field – a "theorem and proof" format is used. Also, this is the first time G1/M/1 multi-server vacation models, both continuous and discrete, and the optimization and control issues have been presented in book form.
This book presents selected research papers from China Satellite Navigation Conference (CSNC) 2024, held in Jinan, China, on 22–24 May 2024. These papers discuss the technologies and applications of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and in particular the latest advances in the China BeiDou System (BDS). They are divided into 8 topics to match the corresponding sessions at CSNC 2024, which broadly covered key topics in GNSS. Readers learn about the BDS and keep abreast of the latest advances in GNSS technologies and applications.
The thalamus is a key structure in the mammalian brain, providing a hub for communication within and across distributed forebrain networks. Research in this area has undergone a revolution in the last decade, with findings that suggest an expanded role for the thalamus in sensory processing, motor control, arousal regulation, and cognition. Moving beyond previous studies of anatomy and cell neurochemistry, scientists have expanded into investigations of cognitive function, and harness new methods and theories of neural computation. This book provides a survey of topics at the cutting edge of this field, covering basic anatomy, evolution, development, physiology and computation. It is also the first book to combine these disciplines in one place, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of thalamus research, and will be an essential resource for students and experts in biology, medicine and computer science.
Drawing substantially on original ethnographic fieldwork from the 1980s and 1990s, Lawson demonstrates how the women of quyi - a community of Chinese female singers in Republican Tianjin - successfully negotiated their sexuality and vocality in performance. Owing to their role as third-person narrators, the women of quyi bridged the gender gap in Chinese performance, creating an androgynous persona that allowed them to showcase their voices on public stages; places that had been previously unwelcoming to conventional female performers. This is a story about female storytellers who sang their way to respectability and social change by minimizing their bodies to allow their voices to be heard.
For students with some knowledge of the language, the Grammaris comprised of 25 units, all with a particular grammar point and associated exercises. All entries are presented in both pinyinromanization and Chinese characters.
This book consists of papers on the recent progresses in the state of the art in natural computation, fuzzy systems, and knowledge discovery. The book is useful for researchers, including professors, graduate students, as well as R & D staff in the industry, with a general interest in natural computation, fuzzy systems, and knowledge discovery. The work printed in this book was presented at the 2022 18th International Conference on Natural Computation, Fuzzy Systems, and Knowledge Discovery (ICNC-FSKD 2022), held from 30 July to 1 August 2022, in Fuzhou, China. All papers were rigorously peer-reviewed by experts in the areas.
This book examines mechatronics and automatic control systems. The book covers important emerging topics in signal processing, control theory, sensors, mechanic manufacturing systems and automation. The book presents papers from the 2013 International Conference on Mechatronics and Automatic Control Systems in Hangzhou, held in China during August 10-11, 2013.
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area!

There were always too many grievances in the world that could not be explained or explained.It would be better to ignore all sorts of matters and face life and death.The road beneath his feet, the fog in front of him, his life, and his enlightenment.Sword in hand in the chaotic world, free and easy, everything, but the heart.
