The Public Sector in Hong Kong
This book describes and analyses the role of the public sector in the often-charged political atmosphere of post-1997 Hong Kong. It discusses critical constitutional, organisational and policy problems and examines their effects on relationships between government and the people. A concluding chapter suggests some possible means of resolving or minimising the difficulties which have been experienced.
Global Web3 Eco Innovation
Along with the maturing of blockchain technology, the scope of Web3 has been expanding from hash rate to crypto market, then from crypto market to metaverse. This book introduces the origin of the Web3 concept, before looking into the infrastructure of Web3, namely the blockchain and its main applications — the development of which started from the genesis block of BTC to date. The book also covers the key developing tracks of the current Web3 world, including DeFi, NFT, GameFi, DAO and Metaverse. A review of the 'twins' of Web3 — investors and regulators — in the regulation of this field wraps up the discussion.
COVID-19 and Public Policy
Shining light on the issues emphasized during the COVID-19 pandemic, from the European Union, energy, and the environment, dietary factors and sleep, crime, leadership, online dispute resolution, to risk perception, biopower and trust, COVID-19 and Public Policy comprehensively covers age, gender, geographical locations, and more.
Applications of Spatial Statistics
Spatial statistics has been widely used in many environmental studies. This book is a collection of recent studies on applying spatial statistics in subjects such as demography, transportation, precision agriculture and ecology. Different subjects require different aspects of spatial statistics. In addition to quantitative statements from statistics and tests, visualization in forms of maps, drawings, and images are provided to illustrate the relationship between data and locations. This book will be valuable to researchers who are interested in applying statistics to spatial data, as well as graduate students who know statistics and want to explore how it can be applied to spatial data. With the processing part being simplified to several mouse clicks by commercial software, one should pay more attention to justification of using spatial statistics, as well as interpretation and assessment of the results. GIScience proves to be a useful tool in visualization of spatial data, and such useful technology should be utilized, as part, for the interpretation and assessment of the results.
Linear Parameter Varying Control for Actuator Failure
A robust linear parameter varying (LPV) control synthesis is carried out for an HiMAT vehicle subject to loss of control effectiveness. The scheduling parameter is selected to be a function of the estimates of the control effectiveness factors. The estimates are provided on-line by a two-stage Kalman estimator. The inherent conservatism of the LPV design is reducing through the use of a scaling factor on the uncertainty block that represents the estimation errors of the effectiveness factors. Simulations of the controlled system with the on-line estimator show that a superior fault-tolerance can be achieved.
Stochastic Theory and Adaptive Control
This workshop on stochastic theory and adaptive control assembled many of the leading researchers on stochastic control and stochastic adaptive control to increase scientific exchange and cooperative research between these two subfields of stochastic analysis. The papers included in the proceedings include survey and research. They describe both theoretical results and applications of adaptive control. There are theoretical results in identification, filtering, control, adaptive control and various other related topics. Some applications to manufacturing systems, queues, networks, medicine and other topics are gien.
