Most existing robust design books address design for static systems, or achieve robust design from experimental data via the Taguchi method. Little work considers model information for robust design particularly for the dynamic system. This book covers robust design for both static and dynamic systems using the nominal model information or the hybrid model/data information, and also integrates design with control under a large operating region. This design can handle strong nonlinearity and more uncertainties from model and parameters.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) transduce signals from a diverse array of endogenous ligands, including ions, amino acids, nucleotides, lipids, peptides, and large glycoprotein hormones. They are also responsible for our sensing of exogenous stimuli, including photons and odorants. GPCRs regulate almost every aspect of our physiological functions. It is estimated that 40% to 50% of currently used therapeutic drugs target GPCRs directly or indirectly. Because the current drugs target only a small portion of the GPCRs, opportunities for targeting the remaining GPCRs is enormous. This...

This book provides a contextualized and balanced look into the timely topic of values in English Language Teaching (ELT) materials with a primary focus on the Chinese context. It features three distinct conceptual and methodological perspectives, namely, perceptions of stakeholders such as material writers, teachers and students, multimodal construction of values, and textual representation of values. It is a valuable resource for those interested in the social, cultural, moral, and ideological dimensions of English education in general, and in the textual and multimodal construction...

Based on extensive fieldwork and longitudinal studies, this book posits that the household registration (hukou) system is a fundamental institutional arrangement in contemporary China. It employs the theoretical framework of local citizenship to analyze the rights and conditions of the migrant population amidst urbanization. Local citizenship functions as both a governance classification and a qualification for access to public resources, influencing not only migration patterns but also the social mobility of various migrant classes. Importantly, the widely discussed education...

This book examines the academic legacy of the Han dynasty. It explicates the line between the explaining of a classical text (训诂) and the study of classical texts and their interpretation (训诂学). The study of hermeneutics was developed already, including the Chinese specific figure, meaning, sound, interpretation, and rites and systems.

It details analyses of the Confucian School, Daoist School, Yin-Yang School, Legalist School, Terminologist School, Mohist School, Political Strategist School, Syncretist School, Agriculturalist School, and Literalist School.
