In this thesis the author firstly investigates various terms related to tathāgatagarbha in the Śrīmālāsūtra. Secondly he focuses on the languages features of its Sanskrit fragments in the Schøyen Collection. It turns out that none of their noticeable language features can ultimately suggest the school-affiliation of the Śrīmālāsūtra. Thirdly he analyzes its paleographical features. Besides, the author conducts an initial study of textual history the Śrīmālāsūtra, and discusses the older recension(s) of the Śrīmālāsūtra based on the Sanskrit morphology, criteria of lectio difficilior and lectio facilior, ascertainment of later contents in the course of transmission, and the development of Buddhist doctrine. Finally he provides a careful textual collation, and makes an annotated translation.

This book investigates in detail the draw theory, physical testing, and numerical simulation analysis technology pertaining to gravity flow. It innovatively explores the structural inhomogeneity of particle flow systems and dynamic behavior among ore and rock particles at macroscopic, mesoscopic, and microscopic levels using interdisciplinary research methods such as statistical physics and complex networks. The potential mechanics mechanism of flow and hang-up of caved ore and rock is elucidated. The research ideas and findings presented in this book serve as a valuable supplement and enhancement to current research ideas and methods on gravity flow. It offers theoretical and technical support for optimizing stope structure parameters, predicting indices of ore loss and dilution, and ensuring safe and efficient mining of mineral resources in underground mines. Additionally, it also provides a scientific basis for the fundamental theoretical research of granular matter, including caved ore and rock, sand, grain, and chemical particles. The target audience of this book includes graduate students and educators in mining engineering, geotechnical engineering, and related fields, as well as technical personnel in research institutes, engineering design and construction units, and researchers interested in the computational mechanics of granular materials.

This book is based on the research conducted by the authors over a substantial period in the field of power-switching apparatuses. It encompasses recent advances and future development trends. Considering practical experience, this book focuses on theoretical studies to establish a framework for computing methodology for switchgear by accurately modeling the key functional components of switchgear products. The book provides case studies closely related to practical engineering applications. The book consists of seven chapters. Chapters 1 to 4 focus on developing mathematical models and their relevant theories and solution methods for arc simulation. These chapters focus particularly on the post-arc period and the calculation and experimental verification of material properties used directly in arc simulation. Chapters 5 and 6 introduce methods for analyzing processes related to thermal performance, mechanical stability due to the Lorentz force, and the operation of switchgear operating mechanisms. Chapter 7 provides case studies relating to switching arcs. This book is intended for R&D engineers of power switching apparatuses, as well as for academics and postgraduate researchers in the fields of electrical discharges, thermal plasmas, gas-based switching technology, and other relevant disciplines.

This book represents a pioneering contribution to the study of municipal solid waste and the policies that can mitigate its negative impact on both the environment and the economy. It is structured around a comprehensive exploration of municipal waste with focus on food waste and plastic waste in China and the United States, the two largest economies and the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. By drawing a comparative analysis and case studies from businesses and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), this book sheds light on an often overlooked but critically important area of environmental policy. The authors offer a set of concrete policy recommendations that span regulatory frameworks, measurement systems, technological innovations, financing strategies, and market-based approaches. A hybrid governance model that combines government regulation with market incentives is advocated, creating a dynamic system in which waste is not only managed but also converted into renewable energy, benefiting both the economy and the environment. The book is well-structured and accessible to all audiences interested in environmental policy and waste management. It offers valuable insights for policymakers in governmental or professional institutions, helping them devise more effective solutions for municipal waste management.
