This is a study of Chinese gentry women’s poems on the theme of travel written during the late imperial period (ca.1600–1911), when Chinese women’s literature and culture flourished as never before. It challenges the clichéd image of completely secluded and immobile women anxiously waiting inside their prescribed feminine space, the so-called inner quarters, for the return of traveling husbands or other male kin. The travel poems discussed in this book, while not necessarily representative of all of the women writers of this period, point to the fact that many of them longed to explore the world through travel as did so many of their male counterparts. Sometimes they were able to actu...

Flame retardant materials are of vital importance in guaranteeing personal security. Especially the demand for non-toxic, low smoking, polymerized flame retardants increases and new materials enter the market. The authors present the fundamental theory of polymer combustion, compare different flame retardants, describe smoke suppression mechanisms, and explain analyzing techniques for new materials.
This two-volume set, LNAI 16301 and LNAI 16302, constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 45th SGAI International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, AI 2025, held in Cambridge, UK, during December 16-18, 2025. The 47 full papers and 20 short papers presented in these two volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from 93 submissions. The papers are grouped into these topical sections: Part I: Technical Papers; Deep Learning; Large Language Models; Machine Learning; Neural Networks; Techniques of AI and Short Technical Papers. Part II: Application Papers; Evolutionary Algorithms; Machine Learning; Neural Networks; Medical Computing and Health Informatics; Large Language Models; Natural Language Processing and Machine Vision; Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Short Application Papers.
All papers have been peer-reviewed. The platform is the aim of this conference for all researchers, engineers, practitioners, academicians, students and industrial professionals sharing to present their research results and development activities in the area of power control and its optimization techniques. We trust that the theme of the conference “Innovation in power and control for optimal industry” provides emulation between the researchers in their practical results as it relates to the industrial need. This platform brings together researchers working on the development of techniques and methodologies to improve the performance of power system and control systems for optimal industry, as well as the computational intelligent, evolutionary algorithms, and hybrid system optimization.
Nanocomposites are now progressing into a new era of research. Over the past two decades it was essentially focused on the enhancement of traditional engineering applications such as mechanical and barrier properties, anti-solvent resistance, heat distortion behavior, electrical conductivity and fire retardancy. The science and technology that was particularly relevant to this research has now become progressively mature. This book will stand-out from more traditional publications covering new innovative areas of research. Some of the applications discussed might be well-known in some research communities but not necessarily so in the nanocomposites community, such as dielectric materials fo...
The addition of nanoparticles to polymer composites has led to a new generation of composite materials with enhanced and novel properties. Advances in polymer nanocomposites reviews the main types of polymer nanocomposites and their applications.Part one reviews types of polymer nanocomposites according to fillers. Processing of carbon nanotube-based nanocomposites, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and cellulose nanoparticles as functional fillers and reinforcement are discussed, alongside calcium carbonate and metal-polymer nanocomposites. Part two focuses on types of polymer nanocomposites according to matrix polymer, with polyolefin-based, (PVC)-based, nylon-based, (PET)-based and thermop...
