Due to its physical, chemical, and material properties, graphene has been widely studied both theoretically and experimentally since it was first synthesized in 2004. This book explores in detail the most up-to-date research in graphene-related systems, including few-layer graphene, sliding bilayer graphene, rippled graphene, carbon nanotubes, and adatom-doped graphene, among others. It focuses on the structure-, stacking-, layer-, orbital-, spin- and adatom-dependent essential properties, in which single- and multi-orbital chemical bondings can account for diverse phenomena. Geometric and Electronic Properties of Graphene-Related Systems: Chemical Bonding Schemes is excellent for graduate students and researchers, but understandable to undergraduates. The detailed theoretical framework developed in this book can be used in the future characterization of emergent materials.
Knowledge-based systems and solving knowledge integrating problems have seen a great surge of research activity in recent years. Knowledge Integration Methods provides a wide snapshot of building knowledge-based systems, inconsistency measures, methods for handling consistency, and methods for integrating knowledge bases. The book also provides the mathematical background to solving problems of restoring consistency and integrating probabilistic knowledge bases in the integrating process. The research results presented in the book can be applied in decision support systems, semantic web systems, multimedia information retrieval systems, medical imaging systems, cooperative information systems, and more. This text will be useful for computer science graduates and PhD students, in addition to researchers and readers working on knowledge management and ontology interpretation.
Structure- and Adatom-Enriched Essential Properties of Graphene Nanoribbons offers a systematic review of the feature-rich essential properties in emergent graphene nanoribbons, covering mainstream theoretical and experimental research. It includes a wide range of 1D systems; namely, armchair and zigzag graphene nanoribbons with and without hydrogen terminations, curved and zipped graphene nanoribbons, folded graphene nanoribbons, carbon nanoscrolls, bilayer graphene nanoribbons, edge-decorated graphene nanoribbons, and alkali-, halogen-, Al-, Ti, and Bi-absorbed graphene nanoribbons. Both multiorbital chemical bondings and spin arrangements, which are responsible for the diverse phenomena, are explored in detail. First-principles calculations are developed to thoroughly describe the physical, chemical, and material phenomena and concise images explain the fundamental properties. This book examines in detail the application and theory of graphene nanoribbons, offering a new perspective on up-to-date mainstream theoretical and experimental research.
This book highlights artificial intelligence algorithms used in implementation of automated pricing. It presents the process for building automated pricing models from crawl data, preprocessed data to implement models, and their applications. The book also focuses on machine learning and deep learning methods for pricing, including from regression methods to hybrid and ensemble methods. The computational experiments are presented to illustrate the pricing processes and models.
This book shows how the efforts of various actors in 'doing Gong culture' contribute to preserving the intangible heritage of ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. Tran's research challenges the conventional perspective that views heritagization as a process of cultural appropriation in which local heritage practitioners become cultural 'proprietors', who in UNESCO's view differ from 'culture carriers'. He shows that local artists actively engage with other actors in the 'heritage community', thus contributing to the performance of a 'living' image of the 'Space of Gong Culture' on the heritage stage. In this intangible cultural heritage, practically, all actors are 'culture carriers'. "Drawing on long-term fieldwork and placing the focus on human interaction, Hoai Tran paints a very subtle and sophisticated picture of the 'heritage community' and its actors in Vietnam's central highlands. By investigating who is acting in and on the space of gong culture, with what motivations, interests, intents or desires, how they are doing so and how effectively, this book arrives at new ways of thinking about 'heritagization' in Vietnam." Gábor Vargyas, Research Center for the Humanities, Budapest Hoai Tran received his PhD from the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in 2020. He is currently a lecturer and researcher at the School of Interdisciplinary Studies, Vietnam National University, Hanoi.
Scientific Study from the year 2007 in the subject Engineering - Communication Technology, grade: none, Ton Duc Thang University, language: English, abstract: This book is resulted from an electrical engineering research project at Ton Duc Thang University – Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. In this book, the authors introduce both fundamental theory and practical issues about mobile communication networks, including GSM networks, CDMA-based networks, MC-CDMA and MTC-MC-CDMA networks. Each issue is introduced together with simulation model written in MATLAB and/or SIMULINK. Most part of this book (chapters 2-5) can be used as a useful reference book for undergraduate students who are studying mobile communication, especially about simulation aspect. Other remaining parts is dedicated for graduate students, that is, some sections in chapter 4,5 and the whole chapter 6.
