Segmental concrete bridges have become one of the main options for major transportation projects world-wide. They offer expedited construction with minimal traffic disruption, lower life cycle costs, appealing aesthetics and adaptability to a curved roadway alignment. The literature is focused on construction, so this fills the need for a design-oriented book for less experienced bridge engineers and for senior university students.

It presents comprehensive theory, design and key construction methods, with a simple design example based on the AASHTO LRFD Design Specifications for each of the main bridge types. It outlines design techniques and relationships between analytical methods, specifications, theory, design, construction and practice. It combines mathematics and engineering mechanics with the authors’ design and teaching experience.

Written in an extended dictionary format, the Manual for Teaching and Learning Chinese as a Foreign Language aims to cover all key terms related to teaching Chinese as a foreign language.

Each section contains an introduction with language-specific information, and identifies students and teachers’ common questions, including the capacity of Chinese as a morphologically unmarked language to indicate categories such as tense and mood. Many entries listed in this manual come with an explanation, a commentary, and rich examples.

The Manual for Teaching and Learning Chinese as a Foreign Language appeals to both Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) teachers and students, as well as being the ideal reference for researchers conducting comparative studies of the Chinese and English languages.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference, BigData 2023, Held as Part of the Services Conference Federation, SCF 2023, Honolulu, HI, USA, during September 23–26, 2023.  

The 14 full papers presented together with 2 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions. The conference focuses on ​research track and application track.

This book constitutes revised selected papers from thethoroughly refereed proceedings of the Second International Human CenteredComputing Conference, HCC 2016, that consolidated and further develops thesuccessful ICPCA/SWS conferences on Pervasive Computing and the NetworkedWorld, and which was held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in January 2016.

The 58 full papers and 30 short papers presented in thisvolume together with one keynote talk were carefully reviewed and selected from211 submissions. These proceedings present research papers investigating into avariety of aspects towards human centric intelligent societies. They cover thecategories: infrastructure and devices; service and solution; data andknowledge; and community.

This is the first book to introduce UUDN for 5G, including the concept, challenges, architecture and key technologies.

The new network architecture based on “de-cellular” and “user-centric” is proposed with three kinds of decoupling: user plane and control plane decoupling from radio access, control and transmission decoupling from network, local service and network service decoupling.

Key characteristics of UUDN are provided, including four aspects: Intelligent network knows user, Moving network follows user, Dynamic network serves user, and Secured network protects user.

Four promising technology directions are discussed in detail, including dynamic APs grouping (DAPGing) method, intelligent networking, advanced interference management and user-centric security.

This book gives an overall introduction of UUDN for people who are interested and just begin their study, as well as some suggestions on further research for experts involved in academic, industrial and standardization activities on relative fields.
