Black phosphorus (BP)-based two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are used as components in practical industrial applications in biomedicine, electronics, and photonics. There is a need to controllably shape engineered scalable structures of 2D BP building blocks, and their assembly/organization is desired for the formation of three-dimensional (3D) forms such as macro and hybrid architectures, as it is expected that these architectures will deliver even better materials performance in applications. Semiconducting Black Phosphorus: From 2D Nanomaterial to Emerging 3D Architecture provides an overview of the various synthetic strategies for 2D BP single-layer nanomaterials, their scalable synthesis, properties, and assemblies into 3D architecture. The book covers defect engineering and physical properties of black phosphorous; describes different strategies for the development of 2D nanostructures of BP with other species such as polymers, organic molecules, and other inorganic materials; offers a comparative study of 3D BP structures with other 3D architectures such as dichalcogenides (TMDs, graphene, and boron nitride); and discusses in detail applications of 3D macrostructures of BP in various fields such as energy, biomedical, and catalysis.This is an essential reference for researchers and advanced students in materials science and chemical, optoelectronic, and electrical engineering.

Modeling and Simulation of Multiphase and Reactive Flows offers integrated coverage of state-of-the-art advancements in the study of computational fluid dynamics. It accompanies readers on a pedagogically progressive journey that exposes them first to the fundamental physics of multicomponent flows and then moves on to more advanced topics in a number of target applications of current interest, with particular emphasis on aerospace, automotive, thermal, and nuclear engineering. A wide spectrum of flows including bubbly flows, liquid atomization, cavitation, chemically reactive flows, spray combustion, hypersonic flows, and detonation motion are discussed. Further cognizance of how to control and manipulate these phenomena is enabled by leveraging powerful technologies for numerical modeling and simulation techniques, with worked-out computational exercises and sample case studies also being featured to encourage practical endeavors to promisingly enhance the performance of many propulsion and energy systems. Researchers both in academia and industry, students in advanced programs, and a host of other technical audiences at all levels will think of this volume as a resource of critical significance to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the analysis of complex, multi-physical flows, which play a crucial role in stimulating newer and better solutions for innovative scientific endeavors and practices.

This book aims to seek for the truth which connects public value and social development as basis to build a harmony community for individuals as well as society. The book tries to bridge science, technology, economics, politics, history, ethics, and environment under the concept of public values, and reveals the essentials of public policy for individual and social development. The potential audience of the book are officials and policy makers in the public sectors, as well as managers in the private sectors.

Why call the book name ASCII Shrug? The born of ASCII makes almost every computing feature possible. The born of ASCII transforms computing and our lives in such an easier way, sometimes we may finish a job with just a shrug. But all these came not easy, countless computing scientists and engineers have devoted to create a seirs of milestones. Chapter I brings you to hundred years ago, even ancient time when civilization just sprouted. How number is generated? How mathematics and algebra developed? How mathematic related with computing? Chapter II touches many basic concepts. Chapter III goes into a deep further to explain some basic and popular topics in language computing. Have you ever thought about the many basics? What exactly is iteration and recursion? Have you thought about how important floating point is? If philosophy can help us understand the world, we can trace back to Before Christ. Chapter IV tries to illustrate the important programming paradigm from fundamental, from philosophy. What is object in the world? What is object-oriented way of thinking from philosophy point of view? Chapter V accumulates all the contents in my developer notes, it covers data, database, data modeling, SQL server, and the evolvement of windows interface implementation and web services implementation over the years. Have you thought about SQL server architecture? Why the query can run in SQL server? Have you seen those SQL errors before? Chapter VI pictorial tomorrow's technologies in some computing areas, which directions are for programming languages, big data, and user interface, it also lays out some challenges in the research. If tomorrow comes, we will have something new along with the difficulties, we will have lots of work and challenges, but we are full of hope, we will be looking forward to the coming of each tomorrow.

As the essence of Chinese traditional culture, classical Chinese poetry in Singapore played a very important role in the social and cultural development of Singapore’s Chinese community. Numerous poems depicted the unique scenery of tropical rainforest and the customs with a Nanyang flavor, recorded the various historical events from the colonial era, the World War II to the independent nation, and reflected the poets’ multiple feelings. This book sketches out the brief history of classical Chinese poetry in Singapore over a hundred years, and focuses on the complex identity of poets from different generations, the function of literary societies in the construction of cultural space and the influence of modern media on the development of classical Chinese poetry based on the text interpretation. In addition, the author attempts to define different types of poetry writing using diaspora literature and Sinophone literature. The discussion of these topics will not only expand the research horizon of Chinese literature, but also provide a meaningful reference to the studies of the worldwide Chinese overseas, especially in Southeast Asia.
