Advanced Structural Textile Composites Forming: Characterization, Modeling, and Simulation comprehensively describes the influence of fiber/fabric architectures and properties on composites forming, along with their deformability and structural optimization, covering the latest advances in the composites forming field. Part one reviews textile reinforcement architectures and discusses the forming behaviors of important 2D and 3D fabrics. Part two discusses numerical models to conduct simulation analysis of different structural composites forming at mesoscopic and macroscopic scales, in particular, 3D preforms with through-the-thickness yarns. Part three looks at the latest developments in the relationship between forming and other steps in composite manufacturing, such as resin injection, and automated fiber placement (AFP) and the effects on certain mechanical properties, such as structural damage and impact resistance. The book will be an essential reference for academic researchers, industrial engineers and materials scientists working with the manufacture and design of fiber-reinforced composite materials.

Design Principles and Structure of Overseas Chinese Textbooks: 海外中文教学在很多不同的领域有着很大的区别，特别是非中文专业的需求者数量巨大，包括华裔儿童和非华裔学习者。海外中文教学各种机构，都在不停寻找一个比较清晰的教学思路，包括教学大纲内容和教学方法等，并分析教学难点等，这些是海外中文汉语教学领域里的永远的话题。本书根据十多来在海外中文教学中遇到的实际问题，做了大量的研究和教学实验与教学测试，发现了很多有趣的现象，也再次确认了初级瓶颈和中级瓶颈的说法，并提出了各种难点的解决方案，逐渐成型了一个总结性的纲要。在此基础上提出了海外中文教学中存在问题的可能原因，并设计了一套从入门到高级四个阶段的教学体系。其中识字系列包含入门、初级、中级三个阶段，识字以韵文识字为主体，包含了儿歌，韵文和诗词等，并配置了多达数十种多媒体训练内容的教学模块。入门和初级阶段结合辅助阅读训练，包含了从一句话到300字的小故事。大阅读为中级阶段的重点训练内容，重点是在突破了语感听说的基本能力之后，由韵文识字教学模式的口语化教学，转换成书面语言的教学模式。本书的主要作用在于无论是教程设计者还是教学者或者学习者，都可以从中找到一个参考性具体内容。根据教学和学习的目的要求，评估目前学习者的中文水平，按照教程设计的阶段，快速的找到对应的教学计划、教学方法和教学内容。特别是入门、初级和中级阶段的识字系列，研发了一整套多媒体系统，这套系统既可以作为老师上课用的多媒体课件，也可以用于学生的课后作业，节省了老师课前大量的备课时间，不用再寻找相关材料，制作多媒体课件等。老师的主要精力，可以根据不同的学生特点，结合教学内容，设计出定制的与学生互动方法与内容。这些应该是老师们最需要的教学辅助材料与手段。高级阶段的重点是阅读教学，《高效海外中文-（中国通）阅读系列》教材体系的精华内容设计之处，在于内容上的前后连接和联想模式，推出了中华文化的独立主题八大模块，是建立中华文化系统框架的基础内容。在结构编排上，注重了历史、人物故事和思想体系的横向及纵向连接，不同的主题线把许多故事有效的连接起来，无论是在语言学习还是在历史人物和事件上都有非常强烈的联想功能。这样的设计符合学生各个年龄段的阅读心理需求，丰富了教学内容和手段。首先是让老师和家长们爱不释手，学生们才有可能喜欢。这是《高效海外中文-（中国通）阅读系列》设计的最终目标，中文教学中有识字教学与阅读教学，并精通中华文化。

Visual Question Answering (VQA) usually combines visual inputs like image and video with a natural language question concerning the input and generates a natural language answer as the output. This is by nature a multi-disciplinary research problem, involving computer vision (CV), natural language processing (NLP), knowledge representation and reasoning (KR), etc.Further, VQA is an ambitious undertaking, as it must overcome the challenges of general image understanding and the question-answering task, as well as the difficulties entailed by using large-scale databases with mixed-quality inputs. However, with the advent of deep learning (DL) and driven by the existence of advanced techniques in both CV and NLP and the availability of relevant large-scale datasets, we have recently seen enormous strides in VQA, with more systems and promising results emerging.This book provides a comprehensive overview of VQA, covering fundamental theories, models, datasets, and promising future directions. Given its scope, it can be used as a textbook on computer vision and natural language processing, especially for researchers and students in the area of visual question answering. It also highlights the key models used in VQA.

Despite the fact that nanotechnology has been present for a few decades, there is a big gap between how nanotechnology is perceived and what nanotechnology can truly offer in all sectors of water. The question to be answered is 'what more can we expect from nanotechnology' in the water field? The rational nano-design starts with well-defined problem definitions, necessitates interdisciplinary approaches, involves 'think-outside-the-box', and represents the future growth point of environmental nanotechnology. However, it is still largely new to the educated public and even scientists and engineers in water fields. Therefore, it is the purpose of this book to promote the concept of rational nano-design and to demonstrate its creativity, innovation, and excitement. This book presents a series of carefully selected rationally designed nano- materials/devices/surfaces, which represent drastically different, ground-breaking, and eye-opening approaches to conventional problems to embody the concept of nano-design and to illustrate its remarkable potential to change the face of the research in water industry in the future. Each of the book contributors is world-renowned expert in the burgeoning field of rational nano-design for applications. Rational Design of Next-generation Nanomaterials and Nanodevices for Water Applications is intended for undergraduates, graduates, scientists and professionals in the fields of environmental science, material science, chemistry, and chemistry engineering. It provides coherent and good material for teaching, research, and professional reference. Contents: Introduction to rational nano-design for water applications; Rational design of smart materials/surfaces with switchable oil wettability for sustainable oil-spill cleanup; Rational design of three-dimensional macroscale porous electrodes for bioelectrochemical systems; Design of (photo)electrochemical active membranes as next-generation filtration devices; Hierarchical materials as a design concept for multifunctional membranes; Rational design of functional nanoporous materials to confine water pollutant in controlled nano-space; A next-generation forward osmosis draw solution design; Rational design of magnetic permanently-confined micelle arrays (Mag-PCMAs) materials for sustainable water and soil remediation; Rational design of an all-in-one lab-on-chip device for direct seawater desalination; Design of micro-sized microbial fuel cells as miniature energy harvesters Author: Peng Wang, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology
