Ke Li – författare

China after Mao has undergone vast transformations, including massive rural-to-urban migration, rising divorce rates, and the steady expansion of the country's legal system. Today, divorce may appear a private concern, when in fact it is a profoundly political matter—especially in a national context where marriage was and has continued to be a key vehicle for nation-state building. Marriage Unbound focuses on the politics of divorce cases in contemporary China, following a group of women seeking judicial remedies for conjugal grievances and disputes.Drawing on extensive archival and ethnographic data, paired with unprecedented access to rural Chinese courtrooms, Ke Li presents not only a stirring portrayal of how these women navigate divorce litigation, but also a uniquely in-depth account of the modern Chinese legal system. With sensitive and fluid prose, Li reveals the struggles between the powerful and the powerless at the front lines of dispute management; the complex interplay between culture and the state; and insidious statecraft that far too often sacrifices women's rights and interests. Ultimately, this book shows how women's legal mobilization and rights contention can forge new ground for our understanding of law, politics, and inequality in an authoritarian regime.

This book draws on experience teaching medical physics graduate students and residents to offer a self-contained and rigorous introduction to the physics of X ray tubes, medical linear accelerators (Linacs), X ray photon-counting detectors (PCDs), and X-ray energy-integrating detectors. It directly addresses the conceptual challenges learners face in understanding the operating principles of PCDs and Linacs, using an approach that is intuitive without sacrificing depth.The book is organized into six focused chapters covering basic semiconductor physics, semiconductor detector structure and elements, semiconductor photon counting detector (PCD) physics, physics of inorganic scintillators and scintillator image detectors, physics in x-ray tubes, and waveguide physics in medical Linacs. Core physical principles and governing laws are developed through first principles-based derivations, supported by schematic illustrations and real-world examples that reinforce both conceptual understanding and practical application.Written for medical physics and bioengineering students, residents, researchers, and educators, the book assumes no prior background in semiconductor physics while providing a rigorous explanation of how modern X-ray detectors, tubes, and Linac systems work. By strengthening fundamental understanding, it equips readers to master current technologies and contribute to future innovation in X ray sources and detectors.

This book conducts research on the overall design of the submerged floating tunnel, structural safety standards, environmental load calculation methods, pipe structure selection, joint structure form, anchoring mode, collision avoidance technology, operation ventilation and disaster prevention, etc., and proposes a preliminary engineering technical plan for the submerged floating tunnel in Qiongzhou Strait.It focuses on the domestic and foreign research status of submerged floating tunnels, model experiment theory and method, experimental system, model design, experimental process, experimental results analysis, and other unique achievements and thoughts. This book is suitable for tunnel engineering scientists, tunnel engineering designers, civil engineers, traffic planning designers, civil engineering students, and teachers. Because submerged floating tunnel is a kind of tunnel structure full of innovation and challenge, research results on suspended tunnels are relatively rare. This book includes the design scheme of submerged floating tunnel, model experiment theory, experimental system, analysis of experimental results, etc., which can provide ideas for the current design of submerged floating tunnel, and also provides useful reference for scholars engaged in the research of basic theory and key technology of submerged floating tunnel and related fields.
