This open access book presents the Coal remains the primary energy source in China, with an estimated total coal reserve of 59 trillion tons at depths of less than 2000 meters. Among these, over 50% lie at depths exceeding 1000 meters, primarily distributed in central and eastern China. Deep coal mining has become the new norm for the coal industry’s development and resource exploitation. To …
This open access book provides an overview of the recent advances in representation learning theory, algorithms and applications for natural language processing (NLP). It is divided into three parts. Part I presents the representation learning techniques for multiple language entries, including words, phrases, sentences and documents. Part II then introduces the representation techniques for th…
his book presents a number of advanced autonomous dynamic trajectory optimal control technologies for launch vehicles. Improving flight autonomy has gained broad-ranging concerns, so as to responsively and autonomously handle the unexpected events or failures. It was reported that the enhanced Proton M launch system adopted artificial intelligence elements to improve the in-flight fail-safe…
To put this research project into context, a short introduction to the status of the climate debate is given. The methodology of the research is presented in brief, followed by the socio-economic assumptions made and key technological parameters used. The storylines of the energy demand projections for the 12 industry and service sectors analysed are described. The supply side of the sec…
This open access book sheds light on the term gongsheng/kyōsei, which is used in Chinese and Japanese to not only translate “symbiosis” in biology but also broadly deployed in philosophical, social and political contexts. It is a cross-contextual attempt to study the foundation of gongsheng/kyōsei as a philosophy of co-becoming, with exploration of its significance for thinking about the …
This open access book offers an analytical presentation of how Europe has created its own version of collective actions. In the last three decades, Europe has seen a remarkable proliferation of collective action legislation, making class actions the most successful export product of the American legal scholarship. While its spread has been surrounded by distrust and suspiciousness, today more t…

This open access book introduces the fundamentals of the space–time conservation element and solution element (CESE) method, which is a novel numerical approach for solving equations of physical conservation laws. It highlights the recent progress to establish various improved CESE schemes and its engineering applications. With attractive accuracy, efficiency, and robustness, the CESE method …
Focusing on the experiences of Thailand and Australia, this book examines the impact of trade-restrictive measures as related to the EU’s regulations to prevent Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. It is widely accepted that IUU fishing is harmful, and should be stopped, but there are different approaches to tackling it. Acknowledging this, this book argues that major efforts…
