This book examines the role of language in the modernisation of Xizang, the evolution of Tibetan language studies and changes to China’s ethnic language policies.Based on fieldwork and policy analysis, it provides a comprehensive and accessible account of the linguistic landscape of Xizang, situated within its social, cultural, and historical context. The author examines daily language use in urban and rural settings, provides a clear overview of Tibetan language education at different levels of schooling, and investigates bilingualism in Lhasa. The research shows that language policies and practices are evolving in tandem with the region’s modernisation.The book will appeal to researchers and students of sociolinguistics, Tibetan studies, and language policy, as well as to general readers who wish to gain an understanding of the intersection between language and everyday life and social development in the region.

This book describes five qualitative investment decision-making methods based on the hesitant fuzzy information. They are: (1) the investment decision-making method based on the asymmetric hesitant fuzzy sigmoid preference relations, (2) the investment decision-making method based on the hesitant fuzzy trade-off and portfolio selection, (3) the investment decision-making method based on the hesitant fuzzy preference envelopment analysis, (4) the investment decision-making method based on the hesitant fuzzy peer-evaluation and strategy fusion, and (5) the investment decision-making method based on the EHVaR measurement and tail analysis.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Future Network Systems and Security, FNSS 2019, held in Melbourne, Australia, in November 2019. The 16 full papers and two short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions.

There are five different types of eye movements: saccades, smooth pursuit, vestibular ocular eye movements, optokinetic eye movements, and vergence eye movements. The optokinetic eye movement is a combination of saccadic and slow eye movements that keeps a full-field image stable on the retina during sustained head rotation.

This book focuses on grassland ecosystem evaluation including vegetation coverage, net primary productivity, carbon sink accounting, and grassland degradation evaluation based on mutual data resource, ecosystem model simulation, remote sensing monitoring and driving mechanism exploration. It aims to provide a guide seeking to understand the overall situation of grassland in China in the context of global climate change and build a scenario for the driving force quantitative evaluation. It will be an essential reference to the terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycle and degraded grassland ecological restoration engineer implementation. Chapters are carefully developed to cover (1) situation of grassland in China; (2) spatial-temporal of grassland coverage in China;(3) net primary productivity evaluation; (4) carbon sink/source accounting and its carbon-hydrology effect;(5) grassland landscape pattern; (6) grassland degradation evaluation based on remote sensing;(7) Grassland degradation restoration and constructing green ecological protective screen.The new scenario and driving mechanism evaluation model make this book a valuable read for researcher of land ecosystem carbon cycle, ecosytem degradation remote sensing evaluation as well as organizations engaged in eco-restoration practices.

This book investigates the intricate dynamics of vegetation and soil carbon sink estimation, offering a comprehensive quantitative assessment of how climate and human activities influence carbon sink changes and land degradation. By focusing on the Tibetan Plateau, it provides crucial insights for implementing precise ecological restoration strategies and enhancing land carbon sequestration.This book delves into key concepts such as remote sensing retrieval, machine learning, and data fusion, showcasing the integration of multi-source data to quantify the driving forces behind vegetation carbon sink changes. Readers explore the latest methodologies in carbon sink accounting, gaining a deeper understanding of the interplay between natural and anthropogenic factors. This work is essential for those seeking to grasp the complexities of ecological restoration and carbon management.Graduate students and researchers in fields such as geography, ecology, environmental science, and soil science find this book invaluable. It serves as a vital resource for those interested in remote sensing retrieval and data fusion technology, as well as for professionals focused on terrestrial carbon sink accounting and land degradation evaluation. This book is a must-read for anyone committed to advancing knowledge in ecological restoration and sustainable land management.

This book focuses on validation and reconstruction work on the land surface temperature (LST) products retrieved by thermal infrared remote sensing. This book arms to overcome above defects and guide the readers to estimate the LST of cloudy pixel and implement the general validation on the remote sensing LST.
