Designing Advanced Respiratory Protective Devices for Pandemics: Performance, Mechanism and Future Perspectives identifies emerging and critical issues that directly or indirectly influence the protective performance of Respiratory Protective Devices (RPDs), along with important future research directions. The severity of the COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes the vital role of respiratory protection provided by PPE (and RPD) in novel infectious respiratory disease control. A wealth of recent research on coronavirus mitigation measures is combined with prior information on infectious diseases, RPDs, and human physiological and psychological responses to make this a fundamental resource on recent advances, innovative perspectives on respiratory protection, and new applications.The effectiveness of such disease control measures rely greatly on the performance of the RPD, user compliance, and proper use. Only an interdisciplinary approach to this issue can lead to success.

This book delves into the dynamic world of authentic project-based learning (PjBL) in translation and interpreting (T&I) education.

With translation and interpreting programs on the rise, especially in China, the book merges academic rigor with market realities and provides valuable insights for the cultivation of school-based translation projects that prepare students for the global stage. Using cross-analysis of eleven representative projects, Li’s research identifies patterns, trends, and commonalities in PjBL and distinguishes traditional classroom exercises from innovative internship projects. The chapters offer an in-depth analysis of a unique internship project in collaboration with the United Nations at Shanghai International Studies University, from recruitment to leadership selection, and from teamwork to task management, where students gain real-world skills, collaborate seamlessly, and tackle continuous challenges. By situating a unique case within this broader education context, this book provides holistic understanding, meaningful comparisons, and a detailed depiction of not only the productive side of an internship project but also the selection, training, assessment, knowledge-building, and maintenance that ensures the continuity of the team.

By combining a broad view of project-based learning with an in-depth investigation of a single case, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students and educators in T&I programs, providing guidance, insights, and best practices for designing and implementing authentic translation projects.

This book offers a collection of conference articles presented at the Second International Young Scientists Forum on Soil and Water Conservation and ICCE symposium 2018 “Climate Change Impacts on Sediment Dynamics: Measurement, Modelling, and Management” held at Moscow from 27 to 31 August 2018. This conference was organized by World Association of Soil and Water Conservation (WASWAC) and Lomonosov Moscow State University in cooperation with the International Commission on Continental Erosion of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences and World Large rivers Initiative. Topics in this book cover a wide range of questions related to fluvial geomorphology, water studies, and sediment transport.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Broadband Communications, Networks, and Systems, Broadnets 2019, which took place in Xi’an, China, in October 2019. The 19 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 61 submissions. The papers are thematically grouped as follows: Wireless Networks and Applications, Communication and Sensor Networks, Internet of Things, Pervasive Computing, Security and Privacy.

This book introduces the state-of-the-art algorithms for data and computation privacy. It mainly focuses on searchable symmetric encryption algorithms and privacy preserving multi-party computation algorithms. This book also introduces algorithms for breaking privacy, and gives intuition on how to design algorithm to counter privacy attacks. Some well-designed differential privacy algorithms are also included in this book.

Driven by lower cost, higher reliability, better performance, and faster deployment, data and computing services are increasingly outsourced to clouds. In this computing paradigm, one often has to store privacy sensitive data at parties, that cannot fully trust and perform privacy sensitive computation with parties that again cannot fully trust. For both scenarios, preserving data privacy and computation privacy is extremely important. After the Facebook–Cambridge Analytical data scandal and the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation by European Union, users are becoming more privacy aware and more concerned with their privacy in this digital world.

This book targets database engineers, cloud computing engineers and researchers working in this field. Advanced-level students studying computer science and electrical engineering will also find this book useful as a reference or secondary text.
