This book explores how Japanese popular culture, exported to China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, is received in these societies. Based on extensive ethnographic research observing in detail the reception of a particular Japanese cultural product, the book shows how, even when the product has been modified to anticipate a different reception in each of the three places, even then the reception is different. The book goes onto discuss more generally the nature of Japanese popular culture and its reception in the three places, showing how history and continuing national antagonism influence attitudes in China, how Hong Kong’s special “in between” status affects the reception there, and how in Taiwan the memory of Japanese colonialism is being re-formed in order to reinforce Taiwan’s cultural distinctiveness.

Revision with unchanged content. The Internet has grown into a tremendously large and complex system with hundreds of millions of end hosts. Because of its size, complexity and heterogeneity, understanding the Internet has proved to be very difficult. Network measurements provide valuable insight and quantitative information on network performance, management, and pathology diagnosis. This work aims to infer hidden network properties from the complex Internet by addressing the following open questions based on network measurements: (1) Can we identify the existence of a dominant congested link (i.e., a significant source of performance degradation) on an end-to-end path using only end-to-end packet delay and loss observations? (2) Can we classify an end user's access network (Ethernet, wireless LAN, cable modem, ADSL, dialup) using only measurements at a server? (3) Can we infer the extent of wireless LAN usage and identify wireless LAN traffic based on passive measurements at the edge of a large network? The key to answering the above questions is network modeling. In this book, we demonstrate how to use various network modeling techniques to solve the above challenging problems. This book is for both researchers and practitioners in the field, and graduate students who are interested in computer networks.

This book introduces the mathematical foundations of distributionally robust optimization (DRO) for decision-making problems with ambiguous uncertainties and applies them to tackle the critical challenge of energy storage sizing in renewable-integrated power systems, providing readers with an efficient and reliable approach to analyze and design real-world energy systems with uncertainties. Covering a diverse range of topics, this book starts by exploring the necessity for energy storage in evolving power systems and examining the benefits of employing distributionally robust optimization. Subsequently, the cutting-edge mathematical theory of distributionally robust optimization is presented, including both the general theory and moment-based, KL-divergence, and Wasserstein-metric distributionally robust optimization theories. The techniques are then applied to various practical energy storage sizing scenarios, such as stand-alone microgrids, large-scale renewable power plants, bulk power grids, and multi-carrier energy networks. This book offers clear explanations and accessible guidance to bridge the gap between advanced optimization methods and industrial applications. Its interdisciplinary scope makes the book appealing to researchers, graduate students, and industry professionals working in electrical engineering and operations research, catering to both beginners and experts.
