Yun Zhang – författare

This book explains the increasingly turbulent Sino–Japanese relations since the 2000s by innovatively investigating the formation mechanism of mutual misperception deeply rooted in China-Japan-U.S. trilateral structural dynamics. The political and security relationship has been increasingly deteriorating against the high interdependency between the world’s second and third largest economies. More ironically, both sides have also shown the intent and made efforts to improve bilateral ties. The author systematically conducts a focused comparison of the evolution of the Sino-Japanese mutual perceptions and policies toward one another during the past decade and a half. Empirically, Yun Zhang closely examines five case studies that provide insights to IR students and scholars and policy makers on how misperception and mistrust have formed, replicated, and intensified.

This book provides readers with a unified, forward-looking framework for understanding, designing, and optimizing monograph multi-energy systems that link electricity, heat, gas, and hydrogen. Rather than offering a descriptive overview of existing technologies, this book emphasizes theoretical rigor and methodological innovation, providing engineers, researchers, and system planners with the analytical tools and design principles necessary to develop intelligent, adaptive, and resilient microgrid architectures under complex and uncertain environments.Structured into four cohesive parts—Preliminaries, Architecture, Control, and Applications—the book integrates foundational theory with engineering practice. It elaborates on hierarchical and distributed control structures, introduces adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) and learning-based optimization frameworks, and elucidates the role of digital intelligence in enhancing real-time decision-making and operational robustness. Comprehensive case studies drawn from industrial parks, islanded systems, and transportation energy networks demonstrate practical approaches toward achieving low-carbon, efficient, and resilient energy integration.This book serves as both a scholarly reference and a methodological guide for advancing intelligent control, coordination, and optimization in next-generation sustainable energy infrastructures.

In Engendering the Woman Question, Zhang Yun adopts a new approach to examining the early Chinese women’s periodical press. Rather than seeing this new print and publishing genre as a gendered site coded as either “feminine” or “masculine,” this book approaches it as a mixed-gender public space where both men and women were intellectually active and involved in dynamic interactions to determine the contours of their discursive encounters.Drawing upon a variety of novel textual modes such as polemical essays, historical biography, public speech, and expository essays, this book opens a window onto men’s and women’s gender-specific approaches to a series of prominent topics central to the Chinese woman question in the early twentieth century.

This book explores international practice in landscape architecture, focusing on the provision of services from Australia to China during China’s contemporary urbanization and Australian landscape architects’ approaches to place. Landscape architectural practice requires planners and designers to have a deep understanding of local culture, site characteristics, craftsmanship and even project procedures that are often intangible. How to acquire the above local knowledge has become a major challenge for international teams. Through the survey of the practice of Australian landscape practices in China and the case study of Li Lake planning and design project, this book reveals the process and difficulties of landscape planning and design as a transnational practice, as well as its special value as a way of cross-cultural fertilization. This book is intended for students, practitioners and researchers in the fields of landscape architecture, architecture and urban planning.

The book focuses on the topologies of non-isolated DC-DC converters with a wide voltage gain range for renewable energy systems. It addresses both theoretical principles and engineering practices. Each chapter introduces a family of non-isolated DC-DC converters, including advanced control methods. The inclusion of modeling and experimental verification provides in-depth applications in fuel cell vehicles, electric vehicles with multiple sources including batteries and super-capacitors, and photovoltaic systems. The book is beneficial for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of renewable energies, as well as electrical and electronic engineering.

This book focuses on e-commerce industry chain based on the whole process of e-commerce activities (production, distribution, circulation, consumption). It extracted the supporting technology and operation process of e-commerce into general principles in the form of mathematical analysis, helping readers to build the frame of theory and practice of activity link of e-commerce. This book stands on the concepts, carries on the innovation and cases in the practice, helping readers to establish a relatively complete e-commerce system. Also the arising challenges and issues are discussed, and guide for the future e-commerce development under the new situation is presented.
