This book aims to analyze how China's firms in the consumer electronics (CE) sector have developed their business strategy and corporate governance during the reform process. This book examines the CE sector in particular because it is one of the country's most important and dynamic manufacturing sectors and one of the earliest market-oriented sectors.

focuses on firms with different ownership provides cases that offer insights into the interactions among key factors of environmental changes, exploitative and explorative strategies, and performance in a transition environment explains why the strategies of some firms do not fit with their environments, which leads to their poorer competitive position. compares the corporate governance of the China's firms with different ownership explores the different ways of development of China's firms in the consumer electronics sector from the perspectives of business strategy and corporate governance includes some wider policy-related implications related to the reform of China's firms

This book is an exploration of the concept of in-betweenness, as it occurs within the process of moving between the author’s root culture and adopted culture, from her perspective as an immigrant creative arts therapist. Through the critical autoethnographic voice and a/r/tographic inquiry, she introduces a unique exploration site within the process of Guqin-making, an ancient Chinese art form. Through the creation of images and poetry, and through Guqin-making and music-making/playing, the book expands the discussion of in-betweenness by re-theorising ancient Chinese philosophical perspectives on harmonic space. This contribution to arts-based research provides a unique standpoint to explore research methods of moving, walking, making, resting and awakening. It showcases how other researchers can transfer the invisible and intangible embodied feelings, memories and emotions arising from moving between two or more cultures into visible and tangible images, narrative, poetry, craft and music-playing to conduct powerful, interdisciplinary arts-based research.

This SpringerBrief presents research results on QoE management schemes for mobile services, including user services, and resource allocation. Along with a review of the research literature, it offers a data-driven architecture for personalized QoE management in wireless networks. The primary focus is on introducing efficient personalized character extraction mechanisms, e.g., context-aware Bayesian graph model, and cooperative QoE management mechanisms. Moreover, in order to demonstrate in the effectiveness of the QoE model, a QoE measurement platform is described and its collected data examined.  The brief concludes with a discussion of future research directions. The example mechanisms and the data-driven architecture provide useful insights into the designs of QoE management, and motivate a new line of thinking for users' satisfaction in future wireless networks.

This is the 2nd edition of the original “Nanostructures and Nanomaterials” written by Guozhong Cao and published by Imperial College Press in 2004.This important book focuses not only on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructures and nanomaterials, but also includes properties and applications of nanostructures and nanomaterials, particularly inorganic nanomaterials. It provides balanced and comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals and processing techniques with regard to synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications of nanostructures and nanomaterials. Both chemical processing and lithographic techniques are presented in a systematic and coherent manner for the synthesis and fabrication of 0-D, 1-D, and 2-D nanostructures, as well as special nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and ordered mesoporous oxides. The book will serve as a general introduction to nanomaterials and nanotechnology for teaching and self-study purposes.

This book provides a detailed and practical guide to the morphological diagnosis of humoral cells using both light and electron microscopy. Electron microscopy compensates for the limited resolution of conventional examinations and plays a critical role in identifying tumors and resolving diagnostically challenging cases. Beginning with fundamental cell biology, the book analyzes cellular structures and ultrastructural features under electron microscopy and compares them with their counterparts under light microscopy. It further explains the relationships and key differences between the two imaging modalities through clinically relevant examples of abnormal cells. By linking light microscopic morphology to organelle level and structural characteristics revealed by electron microscopy, the book helps clinicians better understand the origins of observed cellular changes. Combining concise explanations with richly illustrated comparisons, this volume offers a comprehensive introduction to the morphology of body fluid cells. It serves as a valuable reference for laboratory physicians, laboratory technicians, and medical students.
