This book covers the principles, methods, and state-of-the-art applications of positioning and sensing across both ground-based and aerial wireless networks. The first two chapters introduce key performance metrics and measurement techniques along with enabling tools. In the next two chapters, this book examines radio-frequency implementations over Wi-Fi systems, followed by visible-light positioning systems. Building on these chapters, fusion-based strategies demonstrate how inertial sensors, floor plans, and environmental constraints can be integrated via adaptive filter to enhance positioning accuracy. Subsequent chapters explore unmanned aerial vehicle–assisted positioning. Finally, this book presents integrated sensing–communication frameworks that design joint UAV Trajectory and resource allocations to deliver simultaneous connectivity and environmental awareness. This book targets graduate-level students and researchers working in computer science and electrical engineering as well as industry engineers. It offers both theoretical foundations and practical guidelines to develop next-generation wireless networks and beyond positioning and sensing solutions.

Wind-induced Vibration of Long Span Suspension Bridges includes the author’s research on these types of bridges, adopting a combination of onsite measurements, wind tunnel tests, theoretical analyses, and numerical calculations to discuss the characteristics and parameters of the wind environment at bridge sites, the buffeting response of bridges under the effect of winds on bridges in mountainous areas, the vortex response of wide-bodied flat steel box girders, chattering characteristics (i.e., noise characteristics), and the vibration characteristics of wind-vehicle-bridge systems.

Age-Period-Cohort Analysis: New Models, Methods, and Empirical Applications is based on a decade of the authors’ collaborative work in age-period-cohort (APC) analysis. Within a single, consistent HAPC-GLMM statistical modeling framework, the authors synthesize APC models and methods for three research designs: age-by-time period tables of population rates or proportions, repeated cross-section sample surveys, and accelerated longitudinal panel studies. The authors show how the empirical application of the models to various problems leads to many fascinating findings on how outcome variables develop along the age, period, and cohort dimensions. The book makes two essential contributions to quantitative studies of time-related change. Through the introduction of the GLMM framework, it shows how innovative estimation methods and new model specifications can be used to tackle the "model identification problem" that has hampered the development and empirical application of APC analysis. The book also addresses the major criticism against APC analysis by explaining the use of new models within the GLMM framework to uncover mechanisms underlying age patterns and temporal trends. Encompassing both methodological expositions and empirical studies, this book explores the ways in which statistical models, methods, and research designs can be used to open new possibilities for APC analysis. It compares new and existing models and methods and provides useful guidelines on how to conduct APC analysis. For empirical illustrations, the text incorporates examples from a variety of disciplines, such as sociology, demography, and epidemiology. Along with details on empirical analyses, software and programs to estimate the models are available on the book’s web page.

Specifically, it sheds light on the origin, evolution and artistic features of Zhuang folk song in the first place, and then it shifts to their English translation based on meta-functional equivalence, through which the multi-aesthetics of Zhuang folk song have been represented. At length, forty classic Zhuang folk songs have been selected, and each could be sung bilingually in line with the stave. This book benefits researchers and students who are interested in music translation as well as the Zhuang ethnic music, culture and literature. It also gives readers an insight into musicology, anthropology and intercultural study.

This book studies using string-net models to accomplish a direct, purely two-dimensional, approach to correlators of two-dimensional rational conformal field theories. The authors obtain concise geometric expressions for the objects describing bulk and boundary fields in terms of idempotents in the cylinder category of the underlying modular fusion category, comprising more general classes of fields than is standard in the literature. Combining these idempotents with Frobenius graphs on the world sheet yields string nets that form a consistent system of correlators, i.e. a system of invariants under appropriate mapping class groups that are compatible with factorization. The authors extract operator products of field objects from specific correlators; the resulting operator products are natural algebraic expressions that make sense beyond semisimplicity. They also derive an Eckmann-Hilton relation internal to a braided category, thereby demonstrating the utility of string nets for understanding algebra in braided tensor categories. Finally, they introduce the notion of a universal correlator. This systematizes the treatment of situations in which different world sheets have the same correlator and allows for the definition of a more comprehensive mapping class group.

INTELLIGENT IOT FOR THE DIGITAL WORLD DISCOVER HOW THE INTELLIGENT INTERNET OF THINGS WILL CHANGE THE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY IN THE NEXT DECADE In the digital world, most data and Internet of Things (IoT) services need to be efficiently processed and executed by intelligent algorithms using local or regional computing resources, thus greatly saving and reducing communication bandwidth, end-to-end service delay, long-distance data transmissions, and potential privacy breaches. This book proposes a pyramid model, where data, computing and algorithm jointly constitute the triangular base to support a variety of user-centric intelligent IoT services at the spire by using different kinds of smart terminals or devices. This book provides a state-of-the-art review of intelligent IoT technologies and applications, discusses the key challenges and opportunities facing the digital world, and answers the following five critical questions:What is the most feasible network architecture to effectively provide sufficient resources anywhere anytime for intelligent IoT application scenarios? How do we efficiently discover, allocate and manage computing, communication and caching resources in heterogeneous networks across multiple domains and operators? How do we agilely achieve adaptive service orchestration and reliable service provisioning to meet dynamic user requirements in real time? How do we effectively protect data privacy in IoT applications, where IoT devices and edge/fog computing nodes only have limited resources and capabilities? How do we continuously guarantee and maintain the synchronization and reliability of wide-area IoT systems and applications? Written for professionals working in 5G/IoT technology development, service management and big data analytics, this book offers an overview of intelligent IoT service architecture, key technologies, important applications and future technological trends.

This book first provides a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art IoT technologies and applications in different industrial sectors and public services. The authors give in-depth analyses of fog computing architecture and key technologies that fulfill the challenging requirements of enabling computing services anywhere along the cloud-to-thing continuum.
