Ashes From Last Hell
A high profile official attached to North Korean UN office, Han determines his defection to South Korea, his late father's deathbed wish. He informs Rha, the South Korean intelligent agent, that he would bring with him his country's top WMD information. In return, he requests that his son and his mother would come together, but not his wife. Rha and his agency consider the bargain worthy and critical for the national security. Thus the triple breakout operation is conceived. His mother, a Pyongyang resident, has to be brought to the coastal city for her sea-route evacuation. His son, a student at Almaty, Kazakhstan, has to be led through perilous Central Asian plain chased by the local police. and Han has to be plucked out from his apartment that is locked out for security. the triple breakout is to take place in three different continents simultaneously and in seamless coordination
Architectural Corrosion and Critical Infrastructure
Corrosion is a major cause of structural degradation in buildings and infrastructure, leading to significant impacts to the economy and public safety. Concern is growing about the deterioration and corrosion of critical infrastructure, such as towers, bridges, highways and tall buildings. Monitoring and addressing the condition of such assets requires an understanding of corrosion and the factors that may influence it. However, this is a complex issue spanning multiple disciplines, including engineering, materials science, architecture and construction. Starting with the underlying chemical processes and common corrosion challenges, this book explores the nature of corrosion in a range of structures and their environmental, material and maintenance aspects. Effective inspection methods are explored, with practical strategies for mitigation and remediation. New opportunities with machine learning and artificial intelligence are also discussed, offering innovative solutions and making this an essential reference for anyone working on or studying the preservation of architectural structures and critical infrastructure.
Corrosion Inhibitors, Principles and Recent Applications
To protect metals or alloys from corrosion, some methods can be used such as isolating the structure from the aggressive media or compensating the loss of electrons from the corroded structure. The use of corrosion inhibitors may include organic and inorganic compounds that adsorb on the metallic structure to isolate it from its surrounding media to decrease oxidation-reduction processes. This book collects new developments about corrosion inhibitors and their recent applications.

Interpreting Modernism in Korean Art
This book examines the development of national emblems, photographic portraiture, oil painting, world expositions, modern spaces for art exhibitions, university programs of visual arts, and other agencies of modern art in Korea. With few books on modern art in Korea available in English, this book is an authoritative volume on the topic and provides a comparative perspective on Asian modernism including Japan, China, and India. In turn, these essays also shed a light on Asian reception of and response to the Orientalism and exoticism popular in Europe and North America in the early twentieth century. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, the history of Asia, Asian studies, colonialism, nationalism, and cultural identity.
