This book introduces readers to the theory, design and applications of automotive transmissions. Based on the author's extensive first-hand experience in the field, the book allows readers to gain a deeper understanding of vehicle transmissions.

By examining the heterogeneity of the imaginings of the nation 'from below', it moves away from the tendency to focus on the homogeneity of the nation, found in the classic theories such as Anderson's and Gellner's, as well as in more recent theories on every day and banal nationalism.

This book is an important outcome of the Fifth World Internet Conference. This year, the book improves China's Internet Development Index System, optimizes the algorithm model, and enhances data collection, to assess and reflect Internet development more comprehensively, objectively and scientifically.

This book describes the application of vision-sensing technologies in welding processes, one of the key technologies in intelligent welding manufacturing.

This book comprehensively discusses the basic principles and working mechanism of all kind of batteries towards clean energy storage devices. This book will give a clear idea about recent synthetic strategy towards nanofibers and nanocomposites for alkali-ion storage applications.

This book compiles the latest research on food-derived opioid peptides, particularly those derived from milk.

This book introduces state-of-the-art models and methods based on the neuroendocrine-immune-inspired approaches in the field of manufacturing control systems.

This book introduces readers to a workload-aware methodology for large-scale graph algorithm optimization in graph-computing systems, and proposes several optimization techniques that can enable these systems to handle advanced graph algorithms efficiently.

Drawing on the authors' own work in this field, it describes and analyzes various typical deployable antennas, membrane antennas and super-large space-assembled antennas, while chiefly focusing on mesh antennas due to their wide range of applications.

This book focuses on origami from the point of view of computer science. Ranging from basic theorems to the latest research results, the book introduces the considerably new and fertile research field of computational origami as computer science. Part I introduces basic knowledge of the geometry of development, also called a net, of a solid.

With a primary focus on Environmental Management - the rational reconciliation of man and nature, which involves the judicious exploitation and utilization of natural resources without disturbing the ecosystem's balance - it will thus help to improve the relationship between man and environment.

This is a comprehensive overview of bionanotechnology to students in nanotechnology, biotechnology, bionanotechnology, related fields such as biology, chemistry, physics, and materials science and also everyone who is interested in this research area.

This book discusses how to measure the level of development of an economy, particularly, the task of ranking economies in terms of their development.

This book provides an overview of asphalt pavement maintenance, highlighting the key asphalt pavement maintenance technologies in China. It analyzes the trend toward preventive maintenance technologies and proposes technical guidelines and implementation rules for preventive maintenance.

This book presents a study on the novel concept of "event-triggered control of nonlinear systems subject to disturbances", discussing the theory and practical applications.

This book chiefly describes the theories and technologies for natural gas hydrate management in deepwater gas wells.

This book provides a solid foundation for a comprehensive, systemic and water-centric approach to water management. By combining the distributive and aggregative principles, the approach offers a transparent and autonomous structure for gathering water data and enabling stakeholder involvement.

This book introduces readers to the background and principles of mobile service computing. It discusses various aspects of service computing in mobile environments, including key methods and techniques for service selection, recommendation, composition, offloading, execution, deployment, and provision.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of the adoption of small-scale residential solar photovoltaic systems (RSPSs) in Saudi Arabia.

This book presents new research on sight translation using cutting-edge eye-tracking technology. It covers various aspects of sight translation processes of both novice and professional interpreters, such as their textual processing behaviors, problem-solving patterns and reading-speech coordination.

The new concept will facilitate the development of a unified framework for analyzing the stability and convergence of self-tuning control (STC) systems, and potentially, of all adaptive control systems.

Although TPS (and, more generally, the production control systems in the Japanese assembly industry) has differentiated itself from similar US production systems, the evolution of TPS is largely attributable to attempts to learn from, imitate, and modify pre-World War II US production methods.

This book introduces the reader to FPGA based design for RTL synthesis. The book builds the story from basic fundamentals of FPGA based designs to advance RTL design and verification concepts using SystemVerilog.

This book presents essential information on biomechanical features of the diabetic foot, which could help to minimize the risk of future diabetic foot problems. Of all complications, diabetes peripheral neuropathy is the most common, and leads to foot deformities, pain, altered sensation, loss of foot arch, etc.

This book provides a literature review of techniques used to pass from continuous to combinatorial space, before discussing a detailed example with individual steps of how cuckoo search (CS) can be adapted to solve combinatorial optimization problems.
