Green Energy and Technology

This book investigates in detail piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) technology, assessing its potential us to replace conventional electrochemical batteries with kinetic energy harvesters as sustainable power supplies in wireless sensor network (WSN) devices and mobile electronics, which are originally exposed to ambient vibration. Studies on PEH have attracted engineers and scientists from various disciplines, such as electrical, mechanical, materials, civil and biomedical engineering. Pursuing a holistic approach, the book establishes a fundamental framework for this topic, while emphasizing the importance of integrated analysis and the significant influence of circuit issues in the design and optimization of PEH systems. This approach will help readers from different disciplines recognize the essential aspects of and milestones towards the optimization of PEH systems in practice. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in energy harvesting technology, researchers investigating kinetic energy harvesting systems, and structure/circuit design engineers working on self-powered WSNs or other energy harvesting applications.

This book provides an in-depth legal examination of limited partnership in the context of China's venture capital and private equity market. It aims to provide an authoritative and timely evaluation of the Chinese partnership law and limited partnership regime and will be a valuable tool for practitioners who need a readily available source of information on Chinese partnership law and those who wish to understand how the Chinese partnership regime operates and functions. The book explains the essential characteristics of Chinese partnership law and Chinese limited partnership, highlighting difficult and developing areas by examining relevant legislation and recent cases. In addition to Chinese authorities, it also covers legislation and cases from overseas jurisdictions, such as the UK and the US. New developments such as the amendments to the PRC Partnership Enterprise Law 2007, new legislation and regulations on foreign partnerships and private equity funds are also covered. The book explains the essential areas of Chinese limited partnership such as management and control, duties and liabilities of partners, remedies for limited partners, dissolution, liquidation and taxation. Based on thorough comparative and empirical studies, the book examines existing and potential legal problems under the current law and offers key proposals for practitioners and lawmakers. The empirical problems identified in the book may also guide subsequent discussion and legislation on the limited partnership model and the ongoing debate on new business vehicles.

Legal Perspectives on Venture Capital and Private Equity

The Limited Partnership in China

In this captivating account of two of the most corrupt and blood-soaked chapters in Chicago law enforcement history, award-winning lawyer and author of The Torture Machine Flint Taylor draws on his vast experience to guide readers through the sordid world of prosecutorial misconduct and police violence 
 
This compelling follow-up to his exposé of systemic police torture within the CPD looks at the roles of Cook County prosecutors and Democratic machine politicians in covering up both those widespread abuses, and the political assassination of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton. This story begins with a focus on then rising political star Edward V. Hanrahan, who, in his position as state's attorney, authorized the notorious police raid on Hampton's apartment and then vociferously orchestrated a cover-up that took more than a decade to completely unravel. Taylor shows how Hanrahan's racist political strategy would ultimately lead to his own political downfall following the efforts of a Black-led movement. 
 
Taylor traces the ways that Hanrahan's legacy was continued and brought to bear on the case of Jackie Wilson, a victim of police torture wrongfully incarcerated for thirty-six years, thanks in large part to the same style of racist prosecutorial misconduct. Drawing on unique insights gained from his position as one of the leading lawyers in opposition, Taylor deftly guides readers through the numerous twists and turns of Wilson's forty-year effort that not only won an innocent man his freedom but also resulted in the criminal indictment of a Cook County Assistant State's Attorney who played an important role in this shameful history. 
 
Leading readers through this saga, Taylor asks whether there can be such a thing as effective progressive prosecutors dedicated to fair and equal justice in such an inherently unjust and systemically racist legal system.

Die aktuellen Konflikte um die Demokratie sind auch Konflikte um Rechtsstaatlichkeit, denn es geht oft darum, ob Mehrheiten „durchregieren“ können oder durch die Verfassung, Gerichte und andere Instanzen eingehegt werden. In Ostmitteleuropa, wo Demokratie und Rechtsstaatlichkeit im Zuge der Ablösung vom Sozialismus etabliert wurden, traten solche Probleme seither in unterschiedlicher Weise und Intensität auf – bereits vor dem Abbau rechtsstaatlicher Strukturen durch Fidesz-KDNP in Ungarn (ab 2010) und die PiS in Polen (ab 2015). Dieses Buch arbeitet die verschiedenen Pfade und Konflikte der Rechtsstaatlichkeitsentwicklung in fünf Ländern (Polen, Ungarn, Tschechien, Slowakei, Rumänien) seit 1989/90 heraus. Es verdeutlicht, dass in Bezug auf die Rechtsstaatlichkeitsentwicklung nicht von einer homogenen Region zu sprechen ist, auch wenn bestimmte Themen in verschiedenen Staaten politisch umkämpft sind. Das Buch stützt sich auf wissenschaftliche Literatur, weitere Quellen sowie auf Befunde eigener Primärforschung zu Debatten in den Parlamenten.

The next phase of the war over reproduction in America "Personhood is a field guide to the seemingly boundless tactical resourcefulness of the anti-abortion movement."--Margaret Talbot, New Yorker What's next for the battle over abortion? Mary Ziegler argues that simply undoing Roe v. Wade has never been the endpoint for the antiabortion movement. Since the 1960s, the larger goal has been to secure recognition of fetuses and embryos as persons under the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, a step that the modern antiabortion movement argues would make liberal abortion laws unconstitutional. Personhood chronicles the internal struggles and changing ideas about race, sex, religion, war, corporate rights, and poverty that shaped the personhood struggle over half a century. The book explores how Americans came to take for granted that fetal personhood requires criminalization and suggests that other ways of valuing both fetal life and women's equality might be possible. Ziegler ultimately shows that the battle for personhood has long been about more than abortion: it has aimed to overhaul the regulation of in vitro fertilization, contraception, and the behavior of pregnant women; change the meaning of equality under the law; and determine how courts decide which fundamental rights Americans enjoy. This book is necessary reading for anyone seeking to understand the era launched by the reversal of Roe.

Translational Systems Sciences

This book formulates an evolutionary and pluralistic view of social systems in the global age, especially with reference to Niklas Luhmann's theory of social systems. Several paired concepts, such as national society/world society, stratification/functional differentiation, diffuse/specific, universalistic/particularistic, and inclusion/exclusion, illustrate the transformation of social structure and its effects on the constructive principles of social systems and the definition of individual identity. Every functional subsystem has become more autonomous and the socio-cultural sources of individual identity have become more diversified than in the past. The book proposes the concept of the “intermediary unit” and discusses its significance and relevance in the social systems theory. In the background of this discussion, the reality is that there is no system of meaning and values that are valid in all areas of the world society that has emerged in the process of functional differentiation and globalization, nor can we design such a system theoretically. The significance of intermediary units is considered; the competition of intermediary units and meaning-value spaces in the actual social process is defined as the politics of meaning; and a new form of pluralism based on the concept of polycontexturality is proposed. These factors seem to make the whole world more and more complex, risky, uncertain, and nontransparent. The evolutionary and pluralistic design principles of social systems including various intermediary units improve our capacity to cope with future risks.

Signals and Communication Technology

This book shows the importance of Power Line Communications (PLC) technology to improve and solve the limitations and drawbacks of other communications channels by integrating with these communications channels. Furthermore, PLC technology creates a new hybrid communications channel that can lead to reliable and strong communications systems capable of meeting today's communications challenges for smooth, reliable and high data rate transmission systems able to cope with the challenges facing smart cities. Active researchers on PLC technology contribute to this book by emphasising the importance of this technology in building future smart cities.

This book is subdivided into three major thematic parts:Part I: Communications Channels: This part is an overview from a theoretical and a practical perspective presented in the form of survey of the three major communications channels: Power Line Communications (PLC), Visible Light Communications (VLC) and Wireless Communications (WCC) channels.

Part II: Hybrid Communications Systems: This part presents examples of how the new emerging technology combines the three communications channels into specific applications. The new hybrid channels are discussed and examples of applications are presented.

Part III: PLC and its Applications: This part is reserved for smart homes, smart grid and smart cities, making use of the new hybrid technology with PLC as the backbone.

Prosecuting the Powerful: War Crimes and the Battle for Justice

In three decades under the leadership of Kenneth Roth, Human Rights Watch conducted investigations in 100 countries to uncover abuses - and pressured offending governments to stop them. Roth has grappled with the worst of humanity, taken on the most ruthless oppressors of our time, and persuaded leaders from around the globe to stand up to their repressive counterparts. The son of a Jew who fled Nazi Germany just before the war began, Roth grew up knowing full well how inhumane governments could be. He has travelled the world to meet cruelty and injustice on its home turf: he arrived in Rwanda shortly after the genocide; scrutinized the impact of Saddam's invasion of Kuwait; investigated and condemned Israel's mistreatment of Palestinians. He directed efforts to curtail the Chinese government's persecution of Uyghur Muslims, to bring Myanmar's officials to justice after the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims, to halt Russian war crimes in Ukraine, even to rein in the U.S. government. Roth's many innovations and strategies included the deployment of a concept as old as mankind - the powerful tool of 'shaming' - and here he illustrates its surprising effectiveness against evildoers. This is a story of wins, losses, and ongoing battles in the ceaseless fight for a more decent world.

This book is designed to help readers to acquire a full understanding of the basic concepts of lateral skull base surgery and to familiarize themselves with the different procedures and the latest advances in surgical treatment. The opening chapters discuss general aspects of decision making, describe the relevant microanatomy, and outline the operating room setup. The approaches and procedures used in surgery for cerebellopontine angle, jugular foramen, petroclival, external auditory canal, and facial nerve tumors are then described and illustrated. The particular challenges posed by skull base surgery are identified and attention is drawn to innovative solutions. Advice is also provided on rehabilitation, and the book closes by considering relevant emerging medical treatments. Despite the advances in skull base surgery over recent decades, young surgeons remain fearful of the complex temporal bone and neurovascular anatomy and the difficulty of access. Neurotologists will find this book to be a source of reliable guidance and an invaluable aid to the achievement of optimal outcomes in daily practice.
