Smart Metro Station Systems: Data Science and Engineering introduces key technologies in data science and engineering for smart metro station systems. The book consists of three main parts, focusing on the environment, people and energy. Each chapter includes practical applications, along with information on metro traffic flow monitoring and passenger guidance, methods for behavior analysis and trajectory projection, clustering and anomaly detection in crowd hotspots, monitoring and prediction for station humidity, monitoring and spatial prediction for air pollutants, time series feature extraction and analysis of metro load, characteristic and correlation analysis of metro load, and prediction and intelligent ventilation control.

This volume offers a key reference on the emerging area of smart metro stations and will be useful to those working on smart railways, data science, engineering, artificial intelligence and aligned fields.

Presents relevant core technologies of data science and engineering in smart metro station systems Describes systems based on holographic perception, terminal platform control and highly-autonomous operation Gives a large number of practical case studies and experimental designs Introduces state-of-the-art machine learning and data mining methods for smart metro station systems Offers a comprehensive, up-to-date research solution for the emerging area of smart metro stations

Information literacy-the ability to find, evaluate, and use information resources-is an important skill for future chemists. Students and scientists need to distinguish between information provided by Wikipedia, ChemSpider, research journals, and The New York Times, depending on the intended use of the information sought. Instructors and librarians may often teach these skills through stand-alone database demonstrations, video tutorials, and lectures. However, it ispossible to teach these skills in a more contextual and integrated manner by designing chemistry assignments that incorporate information literacy as a learning outcome. This book will prove useful for librarians and chemistry instructors who are designing courses in which students developinformation literacy in the context of a chemistry course at two-year colleges, public and private universities, and high schools.The chapters in this book review the current state of information literacy in chemistry and provide concrete examples of assignments and interventions aimed at teaching information literacy skills in chemistry curricula. A wide range of options are offered for integrating information literacy into college-level chemistry courses, including general chemistry, organic chemistry, science courses for students not majoring in science, and chemistry capstone research courses.

This interdisciplinary book combines digital technology with Eastern philosophy to examine how the concept of Zhongyong in Confucianism can be used to coordinate digital technology with sustainable agriculture.Zhongyong comes from the connotation of moderate and sustainable in ancient Chinese culture. It is with this concept in mind that this book presents a novel collaboration between philosophy and computer technology to explain how Zhongyong can play an important part in realizing agricultural digitization within a circular economy in order to help solve the current food crisis. The book examines two popular, yet contradictory, digital technologies—blockchain and the green data center. It showcases how the use of traditional Chinese Zhongyong can promote the decentralization of blockchain and the centralization of the green data center and explains the advantages of using both technologies simultaneously. The book puts forward a digital circular agricultural framework that embeds both blockchain and the green data center through an actual case study. While this book specifically focuses on agriculture, it also provides readers with a new perspective for thinking further on how to break down the disciplinary barriers between the social sciences and natural sciences.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of agriculture, digital technologies, circular economy, sustainable development, and Eastern philosophy.

This book explores the phenomenon of “mum fans”: fans who identify themselves as their idols’ mothers and participate in online, data-related fan activities termed “parenting.” With over 50% active fans identifying as mum fans in China, the vast majority of whom have no children and state no desire to have children in real life, it examines their creation of a unique identity against a backdrop of conflicting and ever-evolving cultural influences.Attending to the fact that in traditional Chinese culture, the term “mum” holds both sacred and taboo status, the author considers whether the mum fans’ appropriation of the term represents conformity or rebellion against existing gender norms, and explores the interplay in their practices of a range of influences, including Confucianism, socialism, the one-child policy, liberalism, feminism, pop culture, and fan culture. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative research, Mum Fans: Identity, Feminism, and Fan Culture in Contemporary China offers analyses of the interrelations that exist between fans, social media, data technology, and the idol industry, thus constituting original and unique study of the cultural foundations of mum fan identities and participants’ data parenting practices as a unique expression of Chinese feminism.It will therefore appeal to scholars of sociology and anthropology with interests in fan cultures, gender, data and algorithm culture, and contemporary Chinese society.
