This insightful book is intended for foreigners who visit China or are working and living in China, as well as for foreigners whose work is closely related to China. It includes knowledge of the country’s recent past and acquaints readers with the six masters who are considered idols for many Chinese, including almost all of China’s important political leaders. The chapters also give an insight and a feel for present day China. The book illustrates the lives of these six masters of China Studies, men who “woke up” China from her sleep, gave special meaning to Chinese culture, and inspired political leaders who are still alive in the hearts of the Chinese people. The Story of China Studies contains translations of “The Icy Mirror,” which is Chinese physiognomy, and “A Talk on Verses for Singing,” a guidebook for reading and appreciating a unique form of Chinese verses called “Cí.”
Brain and Nature-Inspired Learning, Computation and Recognition presents a systematic analysis of neural networks, natural computing, machine learning and compression, algorithms and applications inspired by the brain and biological mechanisms found in nature. Sections cover new developments and main applications, algorithms and simulations. Developments in brain and nature-inspired learning have promoted interest in image processing, clustering problems, change detection, control theory and other disciplines. The book discusses the main problems and applications pertaining to bio-inspired computation and recognition, introducing algorithm implementation, model simulation, and practical application of parameter setting. Readers will find solutions to problems in computation and recognition, particularly neural networks, natural computing, machine learning and compressed sensing. This volume offers a comprehensive and well-structured introduction to brain and nature-inspired learning, computation, and recognition. - Presents an invaluable systematic introduction to brain and nature-inspired learning, computation and recognition - Describes the biological mechanisms, mathematical analyses and scientific principles behind brain and nature-inspired learning, calculation and recognition - Systematically analyzes neural networks, natural computing, machine learning and compression, algorithms and applications inspired by the brain and biological mechanisms found in nature - Discusses the theory and application of algorithms and neural networks, natural computing, machine learning and compression perception
This book provides an all-round analysis and exploration of the course, status quo and future of the Chinese Government's governance reform under the framework of government governance modernization. The authors bring their decades of experience in crafting policy in China to explain the relationship between China's government and market, between government and society, between the central government and local governments, functional transformation, organizational structure optimization, reform of public institutions, allocation of fiscally supported personnel, the building of a law-based government and other major issues, while also laying out a case for structural changes in the years to come.
This text presents a comprehensive mathematical theory for elliptic, parabolic, and hyperbolic differential equations. It compares finite element and finite difference methods and illustrates applications of generalized difference methods to elastic bodies, electromagnetic fields, underground water pollution, and coupled sound-heat flows.
Provides information on all aspects of economic and social activity in the city. Describes in detail the city's geographical location, its commercial development, its investment environment, its coherent yet diverse society of immigrants, and its culture.
