Chloride ions have been identified as an important cause of the initiation and acceleration of the corrosion of the reinforcements within modern concrete structures. This book introduces a comprehensive mathematical model used to describe the mass transport behavior of ionic species in porous media. It takes account most of the major mass transport mechanisms that involved. They are the convection with pore solution, the diffusion in pore solution, the physical/chemical adsorption/desorption on/off the solid phase of porous media and the dynamic electrochemical interactions...

I utilize a mechanism design framework to show that the current most popular practice in the timeshare exchange industry can be greatly improved without a tremendous change in their fundamental systems. By focusing on the ten-billion dollar timeshare industry and proposing a superior mechanism to improve its operation, the research has signi­ficant substantive implications. At the same time, from the theoretical perspective, the research extends the literature on one-sided matching to cases where supply of resources is dynamic and resources can be stored. I also study the theoretical...

This book deals with the history of the Arab minority in Israel in the aftermath of the 1967 War. Having incorporated a variety of primary and secondary sources, most notably the recently declassified files of the Advisor on Arab Affairs of the Israeli prime-minister, Dr. Wang Yu presents a complex picture of the interaction between the Arab citizens and the State. While the Arab minority benefitted from the relative relaxation of political control and from the overall economic and educational improvement, the policy of discrimination in such spheres as land and resource ...
