From Sea to Sea

A Personal Journey

By: Min-Hwa Cheng Kennard

Min-Hwa Cheng Kennard has experienced a vibrant life while living and working in several countries. In a unique memoir, she shares insight into her journey that intersected with an extraordinary period of modern human history. Within twenty personal essays, she discloses how she and her family survived the upheavals of twentieth century China to later emigrate to Taiwan and the United States. Her reflections include a brief history of her family, her experiences losing a parent at a tender age, her professional triumphs in foreign lands, the unexpected losses of a child and two husbands, and much more. As Min-Hwa leads others through her poignant story about love and loss and resilience and hope, she offers intriguing insights into her cultural heritage and how she learned to navigate through conflicts between different values. From Sea to Sea is a collection of personal essays that reveal one woman’s account of the upheavals of twentieth century China, her emigration to Taiwan and the United States, and her life as she embraced new experiences.

Multi-fidelity Surrogates

Modeling, Optimization and Applications

By: Qi Zhou,Min Zhao,Jiexiang Hu,Mengying Ma

This book investigates two types of static multi-fidelity surrogates modeling approaches, sequential multi-fidelity surrogates modeling approaches, the multi-fidelity surrogates-assisted efficient global optimization, reliability analysis, robust design optimization, and evolutionary optimization. Multi-fidelity surrogates have attracted a significant amount of attention in simulation-based design and optimization in recent years. Some real-life engineering design problems, such as prediction of angular distortion in the laser welding, optimization design of micro-aerial vehicle fuselage, and optimization design of metamaterial vibration isolator, are also provided to illustrate the ability and merits of multi-fidelity surrogates in support of engineering design. Specifically, lots of illustrative examples are adopted throughout the book to help explain the approaches in a more “hands-on” manner. This book is a useful reference for postgraduates and researchers of mechanical engineering, as well as engineers of enterprises in related fields.

Two-Dimensional Materials for Electromagnetic Shielding

By: Chong Min Koo,Pradeep Sambyal,Aamir Iqbal,Faisal Shahzad,Junpyo Hong

Two-Dimensional Materials for Electromagnetic Shielding Discover a cutting-edge reference on 2D EMI shielding materials for both industrial and academic audiences Two-Dimensional Materials for Electromagnetic Shielding delivers a thorough and comprehensive examination of all aspects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and microwave absorption, including fundamentals and applications, as well as emerging 2D materials in the field, like graphene, and MXenes. The book covers basic knowledge on shielding mechanisms and the demanding physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of the 2D materials against betrayed electromagnetic waves. The benefits of novel 2D materials over existing materials are thoroughly explained and the reader is provided with insight into future developments in shielding materials for highly integrated electrical and electronic equipment. The book offers explanations and in-depth descriptions of graphene and MXenes materials, as well as likely future challenges that will confront practitioners in the field. Ideal for scientists, researchers, and engineers who design novel EMI shielding materials, the book also provides: A thorough introduction to electromagnetic field sources and their impact on human beings An exploration of EMI shielding mechanism and conversion techniques, including microwave absorption mechanisms and scattering parameter conversion methods Discussions of measurements and standards in EMI shielding, including shielding effectiveness measurements An examination of graphene, MXenes, and other 2D materials for EMI shielding and microwave absorbing Perfect for materials scientists, electrochemists, inorganic chemists, physical chemists, and radiation chemists, Two-Dimensional Materials for Electromagnetic Shielding will also earn a place in the libraries of applied physicists and engineering scientists in industry seeking a one-stop reference on cutting-edge 2D electromagnetic interference shielding materials.

Chapter 6. Nanophotonics for Low-Power Switches

By: Lars Thylen,Petter Holmström,Lech Wosinski,Bozena Jaskorzynska,Makoto Naruse,Tadashi Kawazoe,Motoichi Ohtsu,Min Yan,Marco Fiorentino,Urban Westergren

This chapter treats several approaches for employing nanophotonics or near-nanophotonics concepts to create low-power switches. The partly interrelated issues of low-power dissipation and small device footprint are elucidated and figures of merit for switches formulated. Both optically and electronically controlled optical switches are treated and the crucial role of material development emphasized, illustrated by several examples, including both theoretical analysis of switch concepts and experimentally realized switches. Thus, electronically controlled switches based on hybrid, metamaterial, and nanoparticle plasmonics, electrooptic polymers as well as switches based on silicon and photonic crystals are discussed. The all-optical switches focus on third-order nonlinear effects and carrier-induced refractive index changes in III–V materials, as well as on emerging concepts of near-field-coupled quantum-dot switches. A brief comparison to electronic switches is done.

2017 Press Conference Records of Ministry of Environmental Protection, the People's Republic of China

By: Min. of Environmental Protection of RPC

This book introduces readers to the press release work carried out by China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection in 2017. The routine press release work in 2017 was first launched by the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP). In 2017, 12 directors of the MEP and three directors of the Environmental Protection Department of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Tribune came together to answer citizens’ questions on key social issues such as Environmental Quality Monitoring, Prevention of Air Pollution, Ecosystem Protection, Water Pollution Prevention, Environmental Supervision, Legal Enforcement etc. This book will provide readers with an overview of China’s environmental protection policy initiatives, help raise public awareness of the environment, and lay the foundation for all citizens to participate in environmental governance.

Race the Rising Sun

A Chinese University's Exodus during the Second World War

By: Chiao-Min Hsieh,Jean Kan Hsieh

This book is about Zhejiang University, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in China, which was forced to evacuate from the Hangzhou when the Japanese arrived in 1937 and began torturing civilians, raping women, bombing towns, burning farms, and destroying factories, homes, schools, and libraries. The faculty, staff, and students fled to a succession of towns where they sought refuge from the war and set up temporary classrooms to continue with their educational mission. This exodus lasted eight years and spanned over a thousand miles. They faced constant fear and worry due to malnutrition, disease, abject poverty, and enemy air strikes. But with the resilience and spirit of its faculty and students, the University survived to help revitalize a devastated nation.

Multimodalities and Chinese Students’ L2 Practices

Multimodalities and Chinese Students’ L2 Practices

Positioning, Agency, and Community

By: Min Wang

Multimodalities and Chinese Students’ L2 Practices: Identity, Community, and Literacy explores the complex relations and interactions among multimodality, positioning, and agency in increasingly digitized, multilingual, and multicultural contexts. Min Wang uses interview narratives, WeChat exchanges, and class observations and field notes of three Chinese international students’ lived experiences of English learning to show that these L2 learners recognized and appropriated multiple modes and digital tools for their L2 literacies practices. They used multimodalities to position themselves as L2 users who are confident, able, and competent, but sometimes also struggling and ambivalent. The practice of meaning-making, remaking, designing, and redesigning demonstrated their agency as L2 learners. Positioned as cultural and social beings, these L2 learners presented their self-understandings and self-representations through symbolic and material artifacts, interactions with local and non-local people, and engagement in WeChat discussions and ELI learning. They assumed rights, obligations, and expectations in order to become legitimate community members. In the process their agency was promoted, negotiated, or sometimes limited by micro-social structures and ongoing interactions.
