Electronic Structure and Surfaces of Sulfide Minerals: Density Functional Theory and Applications examines the mineral structure and electronic properties of minerals and their relationship to mineral floatability by density functional theory (DFT). This pragmatic guide explores the role of minerals in flotation by focusing on the mineral surface structure, electronic properties, and the adsorption of flotation agents through the study of the microscopic mechanism of reagents from the structure and properties of minerals. The flotation mechanism is explained from the point-of-view of solid physics, which is of great significance for both theoretical research and practical applications.

The study of the structure and properties of the minerals can reveal the essential nature of mineral flotation, hence why minerals have floatability, the mechanism of response of different minerals to different chemicals, and the origin of the selectivity of flotation agents.

Discusses the relationship between mineral properties and floatability in terms of crystal structure, atomic coordination structure and electronic properties Covers the influence of the surface structure of the mineral on surface charge distribution, reactivity and electron density, including a quantitative calculation method for the atomic reactivity of the mineral surface Includes research on the microstructure and mechanism of reagent molecules adsorption on the surface of minerals, focusing on the interactions between water molecules, oxygen molecules and reagents

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Group Decision and Negotiation, GDN 2018, held in Nanjing, China, in June 2018. The field of Group Decision and Negotiation focuses on decision processes with at least two participants and a common goal but conflicting individual goals. Research areas of Group Decision and Negotiation include electronic negotiations, experiments, the role of emotions in group decision and negotiations, preference elicitation and decision support for group decisions and negotiations, and conflict resolution principles.The 15 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 143 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: theoretical concepts of group decision and negotiation; decision support and behavior in group decision and negotiation; and applications of group decision and negotiations.

The theme of this book is the cultural construction in Zhejiang Province under the guidance of “China Dream” policy. It reviews the profound history of traditional culture in Zhejiang, and  concludes with the modern practice and achievements by the local government. It reviews policies implemented in Zhejiang for the construction of socialist core values, public cultural services and cultural industry. The methodologies applied in this book mainly are living examples, case studies and policy presentations, as well as interpretations. The book covers several important areas in modern cultural scopes such as media, ideology, history and tradition, public culture construction and culture industrialization where the “China Dream” policy has the most influences. This book presents an interesting view for scholars and policy makers to better understand the important statecraft of China.
