Competition and Compassion in Chinese Secondary Education examines the nature of academic competition in Chinese schools and documents its debilitating effects on Chinese adolescents' social, moral, and civic development.

This book mainly provides the current status of water pollution faced by China under rapid changing environment and the actions that have been taken for prevention and treatment of water pollution. It points out that the water pollution situation is severe. Facing water pollution, China’s experiences include several aspects on source control and pollution interception, internal nutrient removal of sediment, ecological restoration, and water transfer policy. There exists both the opportunity and challenge for the prevention and control of water pollution in China. The book contains numerous charts and diagrams which further illustrating China’s paths to clean water.

This book presents a selected literature review and case studies for both physical and virtual water transfer. It offers an overview to showcase the interprovincial physical and virtual water transfer within China, and then demonstrates the effects of both approaches in dealing with regional water scarcity; the three cases presented in the Yangtze River Basin demonstrate the role of physical water transfer in improving water quality and restoring water ecosystems; while a Shanghai case highlights the impact of Shanghai’s virtual water import on water quantity and quality stress to other regions. This book promotes systematic approaches combining both virtual and physical water transfer solutions to deal with water quantity and quality issues. The book is intended for senior undergraduates, graduate students, lecturers and researchers in water management.

(Cont) ADS simulations predict a very significant increase in the cutoff frequencies by virtue of the lowered parasitic resistances. In conclusion, the theoretical and experimental work developed during this project has demonstrated the great potential of three new technologies to overcome the main challenges of mm-wave GaN HEMTs. The application of these technologies to actual devices is under way and it will represent an important element of the ultra-high GaN transistors of the future.

This book inspires readers to invent the artificial intelligence of "looking at people." It covers synthesizing, estimating and understanding human motion via visual information. To reveal the techniques of visual computing on human motion, the book creates a totally new systematical framework showing the whole picture relative the subject. In addition to developing trajectories of the theory and methodology, readers are introduced to cutting edge techniques. The authors also provide constructive helps to assist in the implementation of projects.
