Overview: This collection of essays describes adaptations of minority ethnic groups to cross-cultural situations in Hong Kong from the 1840s through the 1950s. It aims to portray Hong Kong history through the perspectives of foreign communities - the British, Germans, Americans, Indians and Japanese - and to understand how they perceived the economic situation, political administration and culture of the colony.978-1-349-53223-0978-1-4039-8055-7

Overview: As computer power grows and data collection technologies advance, a plethora of data is generated in almost every field where computers are used. The com­ puter generated data should be analyzed by computers; without the aid of computing technologies, it is certain that huge amounts of data collected will not ever be examined, let alone be used to our advantages. Even with today‘s advanced computer technologies (e. g. , machine learning and data mining sys­ tems), discovering knowledge from data can still be fiendishly hard due to the characteristics of the computer generated data. T

Overview: Electric utilities throughout the world continue to face newchallenges involving ownership, market structure, and regulation.There are three related issues at hand. First, should ownership beprivate or public? Second, what operations should be integrated andwhere is competition feasible? Third, where is regulation necessaryand can it be made more efficient? This volume bears directly uponthese concerns. .The book contains two sections. The first six articles discuss theBritish electricity experiment that has privatized and disintegratedthe nation‘s generation, transmission, and distr

Overview: Since their discovery, low dimensional materials have never stopped to intrigue scientists, whether they are physicists, chemists, or biochemists. Investigations of their nature and functions have always been and still are numerous and as soon as a solution is found for a given question, another one is raised. The coupling of nano-materials with photonics, i. e. nano-photonics, has produced a boiling pot of idea, problems, discovery and applications. This statement is abundantly illustrated in the present book. The interest in nano-optoelectronic materials and systems is very widespr

Overview: Describes the fundamentals of wave propagation needed to simulate the propagation and scattering of ultrasonic waves.An updated and revised edition of a well-received classic.New edition includes MATLThis extensively revised and updated second edition of a widely read classic presents the use of ultrasound in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) inspections. Retaining the first edition‘s use of wave propagation /scattering theory and linear system theory, this volume also adds significant new material including:.the introduction of MATLAB® functions and scripts that evaluate key results i

Overview: Presents the proceedings of the 4th Symposium on Fluid-Structure-Sound Interactions and Control (FSSIC), held in Tokyo on August 21–24, 2017.Includes broad and varied topics concerning turbulence, flu.This book presents the proceedings of the Symposium on Fluid-Structure-Sound Interactions and Control (FSSIC), (held in Tokyo on Aug. 21-24, 2017), which largely focused on advances in the theory, experiments on, and numerical simulation of turbulence in the contexts of flow-induced vibration, noise and their control. This includes several practical areas of application, such as the aer

Overview: Perspicuity is part of proof. If the process by means of which I get a result were not surveyable, I might indeed make a note that this number is what comes out - but what fact is this supposed to confirm for me? I don‘t know ‘what is supposed to come out‘ . . . . 1 -L. Wittgenstein A feasible computation uses small resources on an abstract computa­ tion device, such as a ‘lUring machine or boolean circuit. Feasible math­ ematics concerns the study of feasible computations, using combinatorics and logic, as well as the study of feasibly presented mathematical structures such as group

Overview: It is hoped that these notes will serve as an introduction to the subject of functional differential equations. The topics are very selective and represent only one particular viewpoint. Complementary material dealing with extensions of closely related topics are given in the notes at the end. A short bibliography is appended as source material for further study. The author is very grateful to the Mathematics Department at UCLA for having extended the invitation to give a series of lectures on functional differ­ ential equations during the Applied Mathematics Year, 1968-1969. The ext

Overview: Includes MATLAB examples for signal processing.Includes Arduino examples for sensors and measurement system.Provides a comprehensive introduction of signal processing methodsThis book introduces the basic analysis methods in signal processing, principles of various sensors and the concept of measurement system. To make students better understand and apply the theories, the book includes many MATLAB examples, such as the generation of standard signals and the spectrum analysis of audio signals in the signal processing part and Arduino examples as well, such as temperature measuring an

Overview: Dieses Buch enthält eine Darstellung des Finanzmarktansatzes, dem neuesten Ansatz zur Bestimmung flexibler Wechselkurse im Kontext internationaler Bewegungen von Finanzkapital. Es soll dem Leser eine konsistente theoretische Sicht der Simultaneität von kurz- und langfristigen Wechselkursschwankungen und internationalen Kapitalbewegungen vermitteln. Hierzu wird die einschlägige Literatur kritisch aufgearbeitet und durch drei eigene Modellversionen eines umfassenden Grundmodells ergänzt. In den neuen Modellen werden bislang vorliegende Inkonsistenzen zwischen der verbalen und der forma

Overview: This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, FASE 2009, held in York, UK, in March 2009, as part of ETAPS 2009, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. The 30 revised full papers presented together with 2 tool demonstrations were carefully reviewed and selected from 123 regluar and 9 tool paper submissions. The topics addressed are model-driven development, synthesis and adaptation, modeling, testing and debugging, model analysis, patterns, security, queries and error

Overview: For many years, most computer architects have pursued one primary goal: performance. Architects have translated the ever-increasing abundance of ever-faster transistors provided by Moore‘s law into remarkable increases in performance. Recently, however, the bounty provided by Moore‘s law has been accompanied by several challenges that have arisen as devices have become smaller, including a decrease in dependability due to physical faults. In this book, we focus on the dependability challenge and the fault tolerance solutions that architects are developing to overcome it. The two main

Overview: Alle wichtigen Kennwerte und Formeln der Bauphysik.Wer die Entwicklung der Bauphysik während der letzten Dekaden mitverfolgte, wird heute feststellen, dass sich diese von einer Randerscheinung des Bauwesens zu einem ihrer komplexesten Arbeitsbereiche gewandelt hat. Mit diesem Prozess einher geht eine mit der Zeit immer differenzierter und vielschichtiger werdende „Vernormung“, die in der Praxis letztendlich zu einer Unüberschaubarkeit dieser Regelwerke führt – und es nicht zu erwarten, dass sich dieses in der Zukunft ändern wird. Angesichts dieser Entwicklung erschien es uns wichtig,
