The second and first centuries B.C. were a critical period in Chinese history—they saw the birth and development of the new Chinese empire and its earliest expansion and acquisition of frontier territories.  But for almost two thousand years, because of gaps in the available records, this essential chapter in the history was missing. Fortunately, with the discovery during the last century of about sixty thousand Han-period documents in Central Asia and western China preserved on strips of wood and bamboo, scholars have been able, for the first time, to put together many of the missing piece

While the theory and application of finite elements methods can be extended to incompatible, hybrid, and mixed element methods, important issues, such as determining the reliability of the solution of incompatible multivariable elements, along with a common perception of impracticality, have hindered the widespread implementation of these methods. Today, however, recent advances--many directly attributable to these authors--have allowed the development of the stability theory and abstract mathematics to useful tools. Hybrid and Incompatible Finite Element Methods introduces these advances i

The overall objectives of this project were to modify, demonstrate, and optimize an existing treatment process to simultaneously remove both arsenic and manganese. The EPA established a new maximum contaminant level (MCL) for arsenic at 10 µg/L in January 2002, with compliance required by February 2006. Additionally the project set to establish an efficient process design approach for implementing this process. For this study the existing oxidation/filtration process at the Southern California Water Company’s (SCWC) Centralia site was modified to include a ferric chloride feed system and a

Taiwan experienced a highly successful economic transformation in the last 50 years that produced one of Asia’s genuine ‘miracles’ of modern development, in terms of improvement in per capita income and overall quality of material well being for its citizens. The process, though, involved rapid industrialization and urbanization, and breakneck mass consumption, that inevitably resulted in rapid escalation in degradation of the island’s fragile air, water, and land, and produced some of the worst environmental pollution to be found anywhere in Asia This book examines the causes of Taiw

The Korean culture and the impact of the geopolitical environment of the Korean peninsula have produced a unique behavioral pattern in both managers and workers. It is necessary to understand this behavioral pattern in order to understand the Korean management system that has played a major role in contributing to the phenomenal economic achievement of the Korean business community. Top executives, managers, and entrepreneurs doing business in Korea or with Korean businessmen will be interested in this book’s discussion of the Korean management system.
