Flexible and wearable technologies are gaining wide attention with their promise of applications in sensing, electronics, and energy. The materials involved should be flexible, lightweight, robust, and non-toxic. Natural biopolymers such as silk, chitin, collagen, cellulose, and gelatine have these properties, with the additional benefits of low cost, renewability, and biocompatibility. Taking a closer look at these soft materials and their forms reveals novel multifunctional abilities, paving the way for new devices.Introducing the recent development of multifunctional natural polymers, this book serves as a reference for researchers, detailing the novel properties and behaviour of natural biopolymers, and their synthetic strategies. Students will find this a useful introduction to multifunctional soft matter and polymer physics. Throughout the book an understanding of the principles of flexible and wearable device design will allow readers to connect materials to applications in wearable electronics, such as flexible sensors, soft robots, solar cells and energy storage devices.

Thereare richtheories and designs for generalcontrolsystems,but usually, they will not lead to PID controllers. Noting that the PID controller has been the most popular one in industry for over ?fty years, we will con?ne our discussion hereto PIDcontrolonly. PID controlhasbeenanimportantresearchtopicsince 1950’s, and causes remarkable activities for the last two decades. Most of the existing works have been on the single variable PID control and its theory and design are well established, understood and practically applied. However, most industrial processes are of multivariable nature. It is not rare that the overall multivariable PID control system could fail although each PID loop may work well. Thus,demandforaddressingmultivariableinteractionsishighforsuccessful applicationofPIDcontrolinmultivariableprocessesanditisevidentfrommajor leading control companies who all rankedthe couplings of multivariable systems as the principal common problem in industry. There have been studies on PID control for multivariable processes and they provide some useful design tools for certaincases. But itis notedthat the existing worksaremainlyfor decentralized form of PID control and based on ad hoc methodologies. Obvious, multivariable PID control is much less understood and developed in comparison with the single variable case and actual need for industrial applications. Better theory and design have to be established for multivariable PID control to reach the same maturity and popularity as the single variable case. The present monograph puts together, in a single volume, a fairly comp- hensive, up-to-date and detailed treatment of PID control for multivariable p- cesses, from paring, gain and phase margins, to various design methods and applications.

This book provides solutions to some of the issues present in the physical layer of current high-frequency wireless communication systems. It reviews the development history of high-frequency wireless communication systems, pinpoints certain existing problems in contemporary high-frequency communication systems, and proposes solutions. The 6th Generation Mobile Networks (6G) is based on terrestrial cellular networks and integrates satellite communication, drone communication, and marine communication to form an integrated air-ground-sea network, providing comprehensive coverage, high speed, high security, and multifunctional communication solutions. High-frequency wireless communication, represented by millimeter-wave and terahertz communications, offers a wide available spectrum and high transmission rates, making it a highly promising broadband wireless access technology in 6G.To achieve higher transmission rates (Tbps level), lower transmission latency (millisecond level), higher security performance (physical layer security), and stronger hardware integration (communication-sensing integration), high-frequency wireless transmission faces many challenges due to characteristics such as short wavelengths, high path loss, and weak components. These challenges include: Large link attenuation and poor coverage in high-frequency wireless communication systems, resulting in low spectrum efficiency for edge users.Low output power, poor linearity, and low efficiency of high-frequency power amplifiers, making it difficult to achieve long-distance transmission of wideband signals.High sidelobe energy in high-frequency multi-user secure transmission, leading to unfocused spatial regions and low transmission efficiency.Independent design functions and high information processing delay in high-frequency communication and sensing, causing wastage of spectrum resources and hardware resources.To address these challenges, the author has conducted innovative work aimed at improving the spectrum efficiency, power amplifier efficiency, transmission efficiency, and processing efficiency of high-frequency wireless transmission. The research findings have been published in high-impact journals such as IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, Microwave Theory and Techniques, Broadcasting, IEEE Sensors Journal, and IEEE Wireless Communications Letters. Based on these foundations, this book is dedicated to discussing efficient transmission technology for high-frequency wireless communications with a focus on 6G. The book addresses fields such as signal processing, spectrum management, and high-efficiency sustainable communications. It is highly recommended for academic researchers, students, and engineers in wireless communication, terahertz communication, and electronic information fields.

This book offers a thorough examination of the history of a Chinese female pronoun – the Chinese character "Ta (她, She)" and demonstrates how the invention and identification of this new word is inextricably intertwined with matters of sociocultural politics.The Chinese character Ta for the third-person feminine singular pronoun was introduced in the late 1910s when the voices of women’s liberation rang out in China. The invention and dissemination of this word not only reflected an ideological gendering of the Chinese script but also provoked heated academic and popular debate well into the 1930s. Thus, the history of Ta provides a prism through which to explore modern Chinese history. The author provides an ambitious and informed examination of how Ta was invented and promoted in relation to the gender equality movement, the politics of neologism, and other domestic elements and international catalysts.This book is the first major work to survey Ta’s creation. It draws on diverse sources, including interviews with eight historians who experienced the popularisation of Ta as youths in the 1930s and 40s. This book will be an essential read for students and scholars of East Asian Studies, Chinese Cultural History, and those who are interested in the history of China.
