Microstrip Patch Antennas (Second Edition)

By: Kai Fong Lee,Kwai Man Luk,Hau Wah Lai

Microstrip patch antennas have become the favorite of antenna designers because of their versatility and having the advantages of planar profile, ease of fabrication, compatibility with integrated circuit technology, and conformability with a shaped surface. There is a need for graduate students and practicing engineers to gain an in depth understanding of this subject. The first edition of this book, published in 2011, was written with this purpose in mind. This second edition contains approximately one third new materials. The authors, Prof KF Lee, Prof KM Luk and Dr HW Lai, have all made significant contributions in the field. Prof Lee and Prof Luk are IEEE Fellows. Prof Lee was the recipient of the 2009 John Kraus Antenna Award of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society while Prof. Luk receives the same award in 2017, both in recognition of their contributions to wideband microstrip antennas.

Women in the Hong Kong Police Force

Organizational Culture, Gender and Colonial Policing

By: Annie Hau-Nung Chan,Lawrence Ka-Ki Ho

This book examines the development of women in the Hong Kong Police Force (HKP) over the past 68 years, beginning from the early colonial years when calls to include women in law enforcement first emerged, to the recruitment of the first female sub-inspector in 1949, and through to the current situation where policewomen constitute 15% of the total HKP establishment. What accounts for these developments and what do they tell us about organisational culture, gender and colonial policing? This interdisciplinary work is relevant to fields including women’s studies, gender studies, policing studies, criminology, colonial history, sociology, and organisational studies, and will appeal to academics, students and lay readers interested in the development of women in policing.

The Chinese Question

Ethnicity, Nation, and Region in and Beyond the Philippines

By: Caroline S. Hau

The rising strength of mainland China has spurred a revival of "Chineseness" in the Philippines. Perceived during the Cold War era as economically dominant, political disloyal, and culturally different, the "Chinese" presented themselves as an integral part of the Filipino imagined community. Today, as Filipinos seek associations with China, many of them see the local Chinese community as key players in East Asian regional economic development. With the revaluing of Chineseness has come a repositioning of "Chinese" racial and cultural identity. Philippine mestizos (people of mixed ancestry) form an important sub-group of the Filipino elite, but their Chineseness was occluded as they disappeared into the emergent Filipino nation. In the twentieth century, mestizos defined themselves and based claims to privilege on "white" ancestry, but mestizos are now actively reclaiming their "Chinese" heritage. At the same time, so-called "pure Chinese" are parlaying their connections into cultural, social, symbolic, or economic capital, and leaders of mainland Chinese state companies have entered into politico-business alliances with the Filipino national elite. As the meanings of "Chinese" and "Filipino" evolve, intractable contradictions are appearing in the concepts of citizenship and national belonging. Through an examination of cinematic and literary works, The Chinese Question shows how race, class, ideology, nationality, territory, sovereignty, and mobility are shaping the discourses of national integration, regional identification, and global cosmopolitanism.
