Small Angle X-Ray and Neutron Scattering with Applications to Geomaterials

By: Yixin Zhao,Shimin Liu,Yingfeng Sun

Small Angle X-Ray and Neutron Scattering with Applications to Geomaterials provides techniques for the analysis of geomaterials, which is of great significance for humans because geomaterials are related to earthquake, resource development, underground spaces, carbon dioxide storage, and more. The book introduces the fundamental theory of small angle X-ray and neutron scattering and covers pore accessibility characterization for natural rocks from four aspects, including quantitative evaluation of pore structure heterogeneity and anisotropy, quantification of pore modification in coals due to pulverization, estimation and modeling of coal pore accessibility, and nanoscale coal deformation and alteration of porosity and pore orientation under uniaxial compression. Finally, interactions between pore structures and fluid behaviors in geomaterials are introduced, along with the connections between small-angle scattering and other techniques (NMR cytophotometry, Transmission Electron Microscopy and synchrotron radiation SAXS and nano-CT) described. - Covers both theory and applications of small angle X-ray and neutron scattering as related to geomaterials - Provides context for using the techniques described in the book in connection with other well-known techniques - Includes analysis methods of interactions between pore structures and fluid behaviors in geomaterials

When Food Became Scarce

When Food Became Scarce

How Chinese Peasants Survived the Great Leap Forward Famine

By: Yixin Chen

When Food Became Scarce is about the Great Leap Famine of 1958-61. Yixin Chen adopts a grassroots level analysis to explore an existential question concerning hundreds of millions of Chinese peasants: why did some peasants perish while others from the same villages facing the same collective problems of food scarcity survive? Viewing the famine as a persistent ordeal, Chen identifies environment and lineage as two pivotal factors that influenced the rural populace's destiny. When food quotas under the Maoist communal dining system plummeted below subsistence or came to a halt, most individual villagers in the mountainous regions of southern China turned to their environment for alternative sustenance, ensuring their survival. More remarkably, across the nation, more peasants united in self-preservation strategies, concealing grains to elude excessive state requisitions, orchestrating food and crop riots, and collectively combating desperation. Given that the majority of Chinese villages were historically established on the foundation of consanguine relationships, creating an obligation among villagers to support one another due to shared ancestry, lineage emerged as a microlevel social mechanism that activated diverse forms of collective resistance. In villages where peasants effectively upheld their lineage organizations and adopted self-protective measures, their survival rates exceeded those of villages where the enforcement of Maoist Great Leap initiatives disrupted the lineage structure, leaving the communities more vulnerable. When Food Became Scare reorients the famine narrative, unpacking its intricacies from the perspective of the survival side.

Causal Inference in Pharmaceutical Statistics

By: Yixin Fang

Causal Inference in Pharmaceutical Statistics introduces the basic concepts and fundamental methods of causal inference relevant to pharmaceutical statistics. This book covers causal thinking for different types of commonly used study designs in the pharmaceutical industry, including but not limited to randomized controlled clinical trials, longitudinal studies, singlearm clinical trials with external controls, and real-world evidence studies. The book starts with the central questions in drug development and licensing, takes the reader through the basic concepts and methods via different study types and through different stages, and concludes with a roadmap to conduct causal inference in clinical studies. The book is intended for clinical statisticians and epidemiologists working in the pharmaceutical industry. It will also be useful to graduate students in statistics, biostatistics, and data science looking to pursue a career in the pharmaceutical industry. Key Features: Causal inference book for clinical statisticians in the pharmaceutical industry Introductory level on the most important concepts and methods Align with FDA and ICH guidance documents Across different stages of clinical studies: plan, design, conduct, analysis, and interpretation Cover a variety of commonly used study designs

Microgrid Methodologies and Emergent Applications

By: Chengshan Wang,Tao Xu,Yixin Liu

Microgrid Methodologies and Applications provides step-by-guide guidance on the implementation of microgrids projects that is informed by current scientific principles, emergent technologies such as modern power electronic interfaces, energy storage systems, multi-vector energy systems, and a close study of recent case studies. Addressing the full end-to-end microgrid project lifecycle, the work encompasses planning, design, operation, control, trading and evaluation, with a significant focus on novel business model, regulation and policy considerations. The book explains to readers how they can operationalize robust microgrids which account for engineering reality, uncertainties, and operating constraints. It delivers precise and rigorous real case studies for project managers, designers and policy and decision-makers. The methodologies section provides step-by-step guidance on implementing projects for postgraduate students, researchers and practitioners, while the applications section provides an array of demonstrative 'case studies which exemplify the use of optimal methods and leading-edge technologies. - Provides step-by-step guidance on the design, operation, control, trading and evaluation of microgrid projects - Demystifies real-world project experience through the evaluation of successful case studies, novel data analysis and comprehensive evaluation rather than cumbersome mathematical formulations - Combines theoretical and practical insights, serving to bridge gaps between theory and engineering operations, control and decision-making - Reviews state-of-the-art topics including business models, trading strategies, pricing, regulatory standards and policy recommendations poised to profoundly affect local energy transitions and utilization of microgrids
