The boom in tourism to and within China is quite a recent phenomenon. China is now among the leading international tourist destinations, and demand for domestic tourism is rapidly increasing. This study examines the role of tourism in the local economic development in different areas of China, and identifies the decisive factors in determining the success or failure of tourism-oriented development strategy at the local level. The author juxtaposes case studies of Guilin, a domestic and international tourist destination in a less developed local area, Suzhou, also both a domestic and...

A comprehensive book focusing on the Force Analogy Method, a novel method for nonlinear dynamic analysis and simulation

This book focusses on the Force Analogy Method, a novel method for nonlinear dynamic analysis and simulation. A review of the current nonlinear analysis method for earthquake engineering will be summarized and explained. Additionally, how the force analogy method can be used in nonlinear static analysis will be discussed through several nonlinear static examples. The emphasis of this book is to extend and develop the force analogy method to performing...

This book introduces condition-based maintenance (CBM)/data-driven prognostics and health management (PHM) in detail, first explaining the PHM design approach from a systems engineering perspective, then summarizing and elaborating on the data-driven methodology for feature construction, as well as feature-based fault diagnosis and prognosis. The book includes a wealth of illustrations and tables to help explain the algorithms, as well as practical examples showing how to use this tool to solve situations for which analytic solutions are poorly suited. It equips readers to apply the concepts...

A systematic and unified presentation of the fundamentals of adaptive control theory in both continuous time and discrete time

Silicon carbide is the only wide band gap semiconductor that has a native oxide, and a leading candidate for development of next-generation, energy efficient, high power metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs). Progress in this technology has been limited by the semiconductor-dielectric interface structure and its effect on the inversion layer mobility. The major objective of this work is to study and improve 4H-SiC MOSFET interface structure, defect states and inversion layer mobility on the (11-20) crystal face of SiC (a-face), employing nitrogen and phosphorous...

Software-based Fault Isolation (SFI) is a software-instrumentation technique at the machine- code level for establishing logical protection domains within a process. This monograph discusses the SFI policy, its main implementation and optimization techniques, as well as an SFI formalization on an idealized assembly language.
