Intelligentsia has been a widely used term in the studies of history and society to describe intellectual, academic, educational and publishing circles. Zhang Qing analyses the formation of Chinese intelligentsia in the context of modern China, more specifically the late Qing dynasty and Republic of China, and addresses topics such as the expansion of newspaper distributions, the relationship between newspapers and academia, the impact of newspapers on society, the change of readers' expressions and scholars' social mobility. The emergence of the intelligentsia and other circles in the early twentieth century is an epitome of the drastic changes in Chinese society at the time, indicative both of a new state-society relation and of Chinese scholars' efforts to find new roles and identities for themselves after bidding farewell to imperial examinations. The author shows how both the emergence of new-type publications and new roles in academia had a profound influence on modern China. The formation of the intelligentsia at the turn of the twentieth century was not only a key to grasping modern Chinese history, but also a mirror for examining the future society.

SystemVerilog provides abundant features that could overwhelm a SystemVerilog beginner. Fortunately, for a decent RTL design, only a small subset of SystemVerilog is needed. The purpose of this book is to carefully choose the right subset of SystemVerilog so that the digital designer can comfortably start their SystemVerilog design project. In this book, FPGA application is chosen not only for its easy and quick practice but also for its wider adoption. SystemVerilog examples will be deployed broadly throughout this book for reference. For those who want to learn HDL design, this book will help them ramp up their HDL design skill quickly while avoiding the pitfalls. For those who have experience in Verilog but want to advance their knowledge to SystemVerilog, this book can be a good reference. For the VHDL designers who want to explore the features in SystemVerilog, this book can serve as a bridge since it is written in a way that the common and different concepts between VHDL and SystemVerilog are emphasized.The following are the specialties of this book:1. It provides a carefully chosen subset of SystemVerilog language for FPGA design.2. It provides a great number of examples for easier learning and practice.3. It shows using SystemVerilog as an efficient way for a productive verification.This book is organized as follows: Chapter 1 first briefly describes the HDL digital design methodology. Then it describes SystemVerilog language and its syntax. Chapter 2 shows how to use SystemVerilog to describe the basic digital gates and digital hardware circuits as well as to model their behavior. It explains SytemVerilog modelling constructs: modules, procedures, interfaces, functions and packages. This chapter also covers advanced topics such as compiler directives, digital arithmetic operation and design optimization.Chapter 3 introduces the synchronous sequential digital design. It gives some example designs such as flip-flop registers, shift registers, counters and adders. The design of finite-state machine (FSM) is discussed in depth for control circuit in digital systems. The algorithmic state machine (ASM) with data path is described for data-processing digital system. It also addresses other advanced topics of timing analysis, design performance and clock-domain crossing.Chapter 4 presents some design examples on memory, interface and fixed-point operations. It also introduces the data-driven design techniques.Chapter 5 focuses on the functional simulation of digital design. It describes the general construction of test bench using SystemVerilog. It introduces the initial procedure for pre-simulation initialization, the final procedure for post-simulation processing and the task procedure for repetitive operations. It explains how to control the simulation proceeding with procedure timing control. It presents some useful system functions and tasks for math functions, file I/O and etc.. Chapter 6 addresses the FPGA design methodology. The topics covers design flow, design environment, intellectual property (IP) core usage, simulation and constraints. The FPGA design for system-on-chip (SOC) is emphasized as this type of FPGA becomes popular. The FPGA configuration options are discussed. Last but not least, it introduces helpful FPGA design practices for a successful design.

Patterns in the State of Chu is a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the patterns found on artifacts from China's ancient Chu State. This book takes a design-focused approach to examine the stylistic features and evolution of various Chu patterns during the Eastern Zhou period, highlighting the cultural and symbolic significance of these patterns. In addition, the book analyzes the decorative features and visual effects of each type of pattern found in Chu artifacts while also exploring their design concepts and aesthetic significance. Through careful study of archaeological objects and literature, the book paints a vivid picture of the rich artistic heritage of ancient China. Moreover, the book also delves into the relationship between Chu patterns and the patterns of minority groups in some remote areas of southern China during the Qin and Han periods. It also showcases the application of Chu patterns in modern design, offering insights that can inspire contemporary designers. With stunning illustrations and an accessible writing style, it is an essential resource for anyone interested in ancient Chinese culture, design, or art history.

High-Performance Computing on the Intel(R) Xeon Phi'

This book articulates a new theory that shows that hierarchical decision making can in fact lead to a near optimization of system goals. The material in the book cuts across disciplines. It will appeal to graduate students and researchers in applied mathematics, operations management, operations research, and system and control theory.

Using a singular perturbation approach, this book offers a systematic treatment of systems that naturally arise in queuing theory, control and optimisation and manufacturing. Provides a single source for concepts previously scattered throughout the literature.

Thus, we have to deal with situations in which the systems are only nearly decomposable in the sense that there are weak links among the irreducible subsystems, which dictate the oc- sional regime changes of the system.

The idea is to reduce the overall complex problem into manageable approximate problems or subproblems, to solve these problems, and to construct a solution of the original problem from the solutions of these simpler prob lems.
