This book focuses on target tracking and information fusion with random finite sets. Both principles and implementations have been addressed, with more weight placed on engineering implementations. This is achieved by providing in-depth study on a number of major topics such as the probability hypothesis density (PHD), cardinalized PHD, multi-Bernoulli (MB), labeled MB (LMB), d-generalized LMB (d-GLMB), marginalized d-GLMB, together with their Gaussian mixture and sequential Monte Carlo implementations. Five extended applications are covered, which are maneuvering target tracking, target tracking for Doppler radars, track-before-detect for dim targets, target tracking with non-standard measurements, and target tracking with multiple distributed sensors. The comprehensive and systematic summarization in target tracking with RFSs is one of the major features of the book, which is particularly suited for readers who are interested to learn solutions in target tracking with RFSs. The book benefits researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of random finite sets, target tracking, sensor fusion/data fusion/information fusion, etc.

This book demonstrates various types of deepwater risers with different motion equations and boundary conditions depending on their different structural configurations. It also discusses the hydrodynamic analysis methods of different deepwater risers. It provides new force and structure models in time and frequency domains of vortex induced force, including that for a downstream riser of the tandem riser, and the rigid oscillating model for steel catenary riser. The highlights of this book are the analysis methods of the rigid oscillating mode of steel catenary riser and the coupling iteration for top-tensioned riser with pipe-in-pipe configuration. This book is interesting and useful to a wide readership in the various fields of ocean engineering and offshore oil & gas development.

Keine Literatur der Welt weist eine so lange und reiche Geschichte auf wie die chinesische. Das Handbuch reicht uber das 20. Jahrhundert zuruck und bezieht so ausfuhrlich wie kein anderes auch die Autoren aus Altertum, Mittelalter und fruher Neuzeit ein. Die Eintrage umfassen Lebensdaten, literaturwissenschaftliche Wurdigung und Hinweise auf die wichtigste Sekundarliteratur.

Das zentrale Anliegen der Arbeit ist die literaturwissenschaftliche Untersuchung der Melancholie als literarisches Phanomen in der modernen chinesischen Literatur. Zu diesem Kontext bietet Zhang Ailings Erzahlwerk zahlreiche Aspekte: Immer wieder werden bei ihr die Schicksalhaftigkeit des Lebens und die Ohnmacht des Menschen thematisiert. Aber wie aussern sich Trauer und Melancholie konkret in ihren Werken? Warum stellt Zhang Ailing gerade diese "Qualitat" des Lebens dar? Und was uberhaupt bedeutet es, traurig und melancholisch zu sein? Gestutzt auf die grundlegenden Erkenntnisse der Melancholieforschung sucht die Verfasserin Antworten auf diese Fragestellungen, indem sie die wichtigsten Werke Zhang Ailings textimmanent interpretiert, die verschiedenen Aspekte von Trauer und Melancholie herausarbeitet und diese in ihrem jeweiligen kulturellen, geschichtlichen und literarischen Umfeld diskutiert.
