Nanomaterials for the Removal of Pollutants and Resource Reutilization presents the fundamental principles necessary for the application of nanomaterials in environmental pollution control and resource reutilization, also describing specific novel applications of environmentally functional nanomaterials. In addition to outlining the applications of nanomaterials for pollution control, the book highlights problems and offers solutions. This comprehensive resource will inspire the next generation of nanomaterial designers, providing a state-of-the-art review and exploration of emerging developments.

Why did the 1989 Chinese student movement end in violent confrontation at Tiananmen Square, despite the fact that both the Chinese government and the students very much wanted to avoid violence? This puzzle, which lies at the heart of the tragic events at Tiananmen, is addressed here from a fresh perspective that sheds new insight into these dramatic events.

Throughout Unintended Outcomes in Social Movements, Deng applies the formal methods of game theory to elucidate some of the contingent, strategic decision-making by both sides in a social-movement/state confrontation, and how those decisions can – and did - lead to an unintended outcome. In identifying the necessary cause of the Tiananmen tragedy, namely a newly created social system with four highly specific properties, this book provides the first adequate explanation of the Tiananmen events. Because of this, it stands to make a significant stride toward convincing students of political conflict of the explanatory power of formal game-theoretic models.

This book is an excellent source of reference for both undergraduate and postgraduate students in areas including Chinese politics, social movements, game theory economics, and social theory.

The spatial-temporal cooperative guidance problem for multiple flight vehicles has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its potential benefits in both military and civil fields. This book provides a concise but holistic introduction to this practical problem and presents a summative collection of the latest solutions to the concerned challenges, thereby providing some theoretical support for enhancing the synergism and applicability of cooperative guidance for multiple flight vehicles. This book consists of nine chapters. In Chapter 1, recent works on cooperative guidance are systematically recalled. Chapter 2 introduces the common formulation and unique challenges of the cooperative guidance problem from a practical viewpoint. In Chapter 3, a varying-gain proportional navigation guidance law with accurate time-to-go prediction is developed to realize precise control of the impact time. In Chapter 4, in response to the inherent finite-time property of the cooperative guidance problem, a fixed-time convergent error dynamic is proposed to design a 3D distributed cooperative guidance law with enhanced convergence. In Chapter 5, a command-decoupled design strategy is proposed to address the challenging spatial-temporal cooperative guidance problem through the derivation and combination of the coplanar cooperative guidance and planar pursuit guidance commands. In Chapter 6, an integrated design strategy based on rotational operations on spatial vectors is proposed to simultaneously satisfy the impact angle and time constraints. In Chapter 7, a multiple-stage cooperative guidance strategy is developed to satisfy the spatial-temporal constraints without relying on time-to-go information. In Chapter 8, a unified command augmentation method is proposed to prevent the seeker''s FOV from exceeding the boundary throughout the cooperative guidance. Finally, Chapter 9 concludes this book and offers an instructive opinion on the future directions of the cooperative guidance problem in both academic and engineering investigations. Therefore, this book can not only serve as a reference for researchers who are interested in this field with systematic and inspirational perspectives, but also be a useful handbook for engineers engaged in cooperative guidance and control of multiple flight vehicles.
