Perception of human beings has evolved from natural biosensor to powerful sensors and sensor networks. In sensor networks, trillions of devices are interconnected and sense a broad spectrum of contexts for human beings, laying the foundation of Internet of Things (IoT). However, sensor technologies have several limitations relating to deployment cost and usability, which render them unacceptable for practical use. Consequently, the pursuit of ...

As online learning has become firmly embedded within the higher education landscape, considerable concerns arise, particularly as it relates to the quality of this mode of instruction. Although the quantity of literature regarding online education is expanding, a more in-depth and broader review of factors that may lead to quality online education is needed. Furthermore, in order to provide effective and quality online education, studies on st...

This study examines the relationships between online shopping values and attitude toward online shopping using gender as a moderator. Data were collected from 296 undergraduate students using a questionnaire. The result indicated that utilitarian values (i.e. convenience, availability of information and lack of sociality) and hedonic values (i.e. adventure and sociality) positively influence attitude toward online shopping. Gender has a main e...

Based on the author's academic and industrial experience and backed by a thorough review of the literature, this book provides analysis of, and proposes solutions to, the most frequently encountered side reactions during peptide and peptidomimetic synthesis.

Drawing on the authors¿ use of the Hadamard-related theory in several successful engineering projects, this book explores the applications and dimensions of Hadamard matrices. It covers classical two-dimensional Walsh and Hadamard matrices as well as new Hadamard designs based on dyadic addition sets. After focusing on three-, four-, and six-dimensional Walsh and Hadamard matrices and transforms, the authors describe applications of the n-dime...

This book presents a comprehensive assessment of China's economic statecraft and its challenges. The contributors explore the various factors and dynamics that determine the effectiveness of China's efforts to turn its wealth into global power.

This book aims to provide the basic theory of fractional calculus and its applications based on practical schemes and approaches, illustrated with applicable engineering and technical examples, especially focusing on the fractional-order controller design. In the development of this book, the essential theorems and facts in the first two chapters are proven with rigorous mathematical analyses. In addition, the commonly used definitions of Grün...

Supplying a summary of current research results, the book covers the theory, methodology, and engineering implementation required to conduct equipment instantaneous availability analysis. It describes how to use practical methods and tools to control the matching transition of new equipment systems as a result of interactions among sub-systems.

With over 300 references, this book explains the essential aspects of automatic music emotion recognition (MER), including background, key techniques, and applications. It reviews of existing work in the field and establishes a computational framework that generalizes emotion recognition from categorical domain to real-valued 2D space. Furthermore, it describes how to take the subjective nature of emotion perception into account in the develop...

A resource-based theory study is one of the most widely accepted theoretical perspectives in explaining competitive capabilities in relation to capability and sustainable competitive advantage. For example, the study tends to be designed as a conceptual framework for explaining the conditions under which firms may achieve a sustainable competitive advantage through capabilities which are valuable, and non-substitutable. Accordingly, the presen...

Improvement of injection molding processes remains a topic of great interest in both industry and research institutions. This book introduces the analysis of the molding process from a systems technology point of view. It is divided into four parts: the first part provides general background to introduce the injection molding process, the second covers the control of the process, the third is on the monitoring technology, and the fourth is co...

This study investigated Chinese international students' perceptions of their learning experiences in New Zealand and their parents' views on their overseas learning. The study was conducted from July to September 2007. Eighty-six Chinese students and twenty parents participated in the study. The study found that Chinese students generally gave positive evaluations to New Zealand tertiary education. They gave positive ratings to academic teachi...

Drawing on the authors' use of the Hadamard-related theory in several successful engineering projects, this book explores the applications and dimensions of Hadamard matrices. It contains a section on the applications of higher-dimensional Hadamard matrices to the areas of telecommunications and information security.

A Record of Buddhist Monasteries in Lo-yang (the Lo-Yang ch'ieh-lan chi) is a major document of Chinese history and literature. This translation of the sixth- century A.D. classic describes the main Buddhist monasteries and nunneries of Lo-yang and the political, economic, and social conditions at a time when that city was the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty.Originally published in 1984.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on...
