The oil–gas conductor is the key part that connects subsea facilities and offshore equipment. The installation, construction and the stability control in subsequent operation of the conductor are main technical problems in the field of offshore oil and gas engineering.

The book focuses on installation of oil and gas conductor in the offshore oil field. It includes three parts. The first part introduces the main installations and structural features of the wellhead above water and the wellhead under water. Then, it summarizes methods and theories of oil and gas conductor design....

Temporal Data Mining via Unsupervised Ensemble Learning provides the principle knowledge of temporal data mining in association with unsupervised ensemble learning and the fundamental problems of temporal data clustering from different perspectives. By providing three proposed ensemble approaches of temporal data clustering, this book presents a practical focus of fundamental knowledge and techniques, along with a rich blend of theory and practice.

Furthermore, the book includes illustrations of the proposed approaches based on data and simulation experiments to demonstrate...

This book provides comprehensive investigation of the effect of motivation on L2 learners’ pragmatic learning, which has been discussed for a long time but remains under-explored. This study examines whether and to what extent learners’ levels of motivation influence their pragmatic awareness, comprehension and production in an EFL context. It presents an original study that not only enriches our knowledge of the feasibility of modern technology in collecting large-scale data related to pragmatic competence but also eminently connects L2 pragmatics more closely with mainstream second...

Nature-inspired algorithms such as cuckoo search and firefly algorithm have become popular and widely used in recent years in many applications. These algorithms are flexible, efficient and easy to implement. New progress has been made in the last few years, and it is timely to summarize the latest developments of cuckoo search and firefly algorithm and their diverse applications. This book will review both theoretical studies and applications with detailed algorithm analysis, implementation and case studies so that readers can benefit most from this book. Application topics are...
