World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Taiwan's Politics In Action: Struggling To Win At
Book SynopsisTaiwan's Politics in Action: Struggling to Win at the Ballot Box is about the most interesting and exciting aspects of Taiwan's politics: political competition in the form of electioneering, campaigns and voting. The author first analyzes the theories, constructs or simply ideas about elections, especially who wins them and why.The most discussed by the pundits and the scholars are the watermelon and the pendulum theory: voting as before or not. The economic, or pocketbook, theory is also popular — although whether this means economic growth or greater equity has changed. Which party or candidate has the most money is also predictive. Other constructs or simply ideas are also commonplace. Divide and conquer is another approach. Another is the best campaign agenda; so too picking the most attractive candidates. Professionalism in campaigning and the use of social media are also favorite ideas. So is the appeal to voters' ethnicity, espousing liberal or conservative ideas, using protest, focusing on constant concerns such as peace and corruption and finally, the appeals of populism and progressivism.The author then examines Taiwan's two most recent elections, the 2018 mid-term (or collection of local elections) and the 2020 national presidential and legislative election to apply the theories. The Nationalist Party or Kuomintang (KMT) won the former; the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) won the latter, giving the observer a choice of evidence about how to win.The author concludes that Taiwan's democracy is being challenged, but is still popular in spite of strong external forces and other worries.

Springer Verlag, Singapore An Adventure: Weightlessness Phenomena and Life
Book SynopsisThis is a popular science book surrounding astronauts’ life on the space station. The book not only highlights the weightlessness experience of astronauts and the extraordinary phenomena they witness, but also illustrates the physics behind these events, which opens a new window for readers to explore the outer space. This book is especially fun for those who are curious about the life details of astronauts on the space station. The book is based on real events, and features images and cartoons that vividly depict unusual scenes between the outer space and the earth. Physical principles become easier to understand with these visual aids. During the reading, readers can immerse themselves in the enjoyable adventure of space travel and the strange feeling of weightlessness while having their doubts of every oddity solved. The book elaborates on the interesting contrast between the space and the earth, and provides readers with a stunning new perspective with easily comprehensible language and examples.Table of ContentsPreface 0 Introduction：Why do we fly into the space? 1 Free fall and weightlessness in gravity 1-1 The story of Isaac Newton and the apple falling 1-2 Why does a cannonball fall down to earth but the moon does not? 1-3 Why do scientists launch spacecrafts from the equator? 1-4 Weight and weightlessness 1-5 The wonderful world of microgravity 2 Measure the body weight on space station 2-1 Measure the weight on the ground 2-2 Measure the “weight” or mass of astronaut on space station 2-3 Why do we confuse weight and mass? 2-4 Mass and weight from north pole to equator 2-5 How is Earth’s mass measured? 2-6 Short summary on mass and weight 3 The space swing never stops 3-1 Constructing a simple pendulum 3-2 A pendulum anchored in the cosmos 3-3 The mystery of swinging 3-4 Keeping time with a pendulum 3-5 Simple pendulum motion in gymnastics 3-6 A pendulum in weightlessness state 4 The Gyroscope on space station 4-1 Stability of a spinning gyroscope 4-2 Gyroscope in weightlessness 4-3 Gyroscopes in our daily life 4-4 Gyroscopes in universe: Earth and pulsar 5 Wonders of water in weightlessness 5-1 Shape of water drop in weightlessness 5-2 Thin film of water on space station 5-3 Super water globe ball and cocktail on space station 5-4 Amazing surface tension 5-5 Disappearance of buoyancy force in weightlessness 6 Viewing universe and Earth on space station 6-1 Why are stars not twinkling seen from space station? 6-2 Space station: 16 times of sunrise or sunset in one day 6-3 Why is Earth shown as a blue planet? 6-4 Moon is much brighter seen on space station 6-5 Can naked eye see the Great Wall from space station? 6-6 Space telescope from Hubble to James Webb 7 Wonderful space life：part one 7-1 Playing with fire on space station: round flame 7-2 Will people shed tears on the space station? 7-3 Will the astronauts become taller on space? 7-4 Spacewalking outside of a spacecraft 8 Wonderful space life: part two 8-1 Sleeping in weightlessness 8-2 Drinking and eating on space station 8-3 Brushing teeth and taking shower on space station 8-4 Space toilet and water cycling system 9 Extended knowledge and products based on space exploration 9-1 Effects of weightlessness on women and men 9-2 Animals respond to weightlessness 9-3 Risk of cosmic rays and solar wind storm on astronauts 9-4 Plant growth on space station 9-5 Broad knowledge inside the spacesuit 10 Postscript: Flying into space is a human dream

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Lectures On White Noise Functionals
Book SynopsisWhite noise analysis is an advanced stochastic calculus that has developed extensively since three decades ago. It has two main characteristics. One is the notion of generalized white noise functionals, the introduction of which is oriented by the line of advanced analysis, and they have made much contribution to the fields in science enormously. The other characteristic is that the white noise analysis has an aspect of infinite dimensional harmonic analysis arising from the infinite dimensional rotation group. With the help of this rotation group, the white noise analysis has explored new areas of mathematics and has extended the fields of applications.
