The government audit in China has existed since 3000 years ago. It is compulsory for the government in managing the financial sectors to ensure the country is run well from the perspective of the public economy. In recent years, many challenges have taken places in China in line with the promotion of the anti-corruption campaign. These bring us new reasons to study the government audit in China. First, China is the first country that has the government audit in the world. It will be of interest for studying the Chinese government audit in the perspective of its history, transitional process and changes of its function. Second, China is the second biggest economy and fastest growth economic entity in the world. These will attract the readers to explore how the government audit works in China especially after China's WTO accession since 2002. Third, China's leadership has conducted an anti-corruption campaign nationwide. It will be timely to study the audit in line with fighting corruption from the perspective of finance in China. Generally speaking, this book is of theoretical and practical significance in China's government audit. First, this book provides three practical ways to
This book highlights principles and applications of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). After introducing the basic concepts, research progress, standardizations and limitations of EMC, the book puts emphasis on presenting the generation mechanisms and suppression principles of conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise, radiated EMI noise, and electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) problems such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), electric fast transient (EFT) and surge. By showing EMC case studies and solved examples, the book provides effective solutions to practical engineering problems. Students and researchers will be able to use the book as practical reference for EMC-related measurements and problem- solution.
Flexible Batteries highlights the key advances in flexible batteries, a booming new direction in the energy storage field. The authors first introduce lithium-ion batteries, which are currently the most widely used batteries. Flexible aqueous batteries such as aqueous lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and zinc-ion batteries are discussed subsequently due to the safety concerns in organic electrolytes. Since flexible metal-air batteries are recognized as primary choices for the next generation, the authors take lithium-air and aluminum-air batteries as examples to explore their applications in flexible battery construction. They further summarize flexible batteries under the most challenging working conditions such as stretching and integrating flexible batteries with flexible energy harvesting devices, sensors, and supercapacitors. Covering both fundamental and application development, this book may effectively bridge academics and industry. It will be helpful not only to scholars and students studying materials science and engineering, chemical engineering, physics, energy science, and biomedical science but also to scientists and engineers in the industry.
This book provides a comprehensive methodology for automated design, test and diagnosis, and use of robust, low-cost, and manufacturable digital microfluidic systems. It focuses on the development of a comprehensive CAD optimization framework for digital microfluidic biochips that unifies different design problems. With the increase in system complexity and integration levels, biochip designers can utilize the design methods described in this book to evaluate different design alternatives, and carry out design-space exploration to obtain the best design point.
This book highlights the key advance of flexible batteries, a booming new direction in energy storage field. The authors first introduce lithium-ion batteries, which are the most widely used batteries so far. Flexible aqueous batteries such as aqueous lithium-ion, sodium-ion and zinc-ion batteries are discussed subsequently due to the safety concerns of organic electrolytes. Since flexible metal-air batteries are recognized as primary choices for the next generations, the authors take lithium-air and aluminum-air batteries as examples to explore their applications in flexible constructions. They further summarize flexible batteries under the most challenging working conditions such as stretching and integrating flexible batteries with flexible energy harvesting devices, sensors and supercapacitors. Covering both important fundamental and application development, the book may effectively bridge the academy and industry. It will be helpful not only to scholars and students studying materials science and engineering, chemical engineering, physics, energy science and biomedical science, but also to scientists and engineers in the industry.
