This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th China Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks, CWSN 2023, which took place in Dalian, China, in October 2023. The 22 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 105 submissions, including 38 English papers and 67 Chinese papers. The conference provided an academic exchange of research and a development forum for IoT researchers, developers, enterprises, and users. Exchanging results and experience of research and applications in IoT, and discussing the key challenges and research hotspots, is the main goal of the forum. As a high-level forum for the design, implementation, and application of IoT, the conference promoted the exchange and application of the theories and technologies of IoT-related topics.

iTHRIVE is designed to support prospective and current international students to develop a growth mindset, deeper awareness of themselves, and a broader understanding of the resources available to them.Section 1: "Getting Started" provides reflection questions to help readers examine why they want to study abroad and includes tips on applying to schools/programs.Section 2: "Surviving Thriving in the U.S." explores adapting to cultural differences, attending to holistic health, making friends, and planning for finances, academics, and career steps to help readers build a more balanced life in the U.S.Section 3: "Advice for Staff and Faculty on Supporting International Students" focuses on practical ways that professionals working in higher education can support students in from before they arrive on campus through graduation and beyond.By completing this workbook, international students will find themselves more prepared when facing challenges. They will be ready not just to survive but to THRIVE during their time in school.Inside iTHRIVE, you will find¿Tips and recommendations that go beyond getting into universities, colleges, undergraduate programs, and graduate programs.¿U.S.-specific resources and examples related to academic success, physical/spiritual/mental health, financial wellness, and more from published research and the author's own experience.¿Practical suggestions for staff and faculty members to better support international students.

This book provides a systematic overview of China's achievements in eliminating absolute poverty by 2020 under current standards. The book is divided into three parts: The first part is a study of major policy practices with distinctive characteristics in China's poverty alleviation practices; the second part is a study of China's international cooperation in poverty alleviation; the third part is a study of China's poverty alleviation by international scholars from the perspective of international cooperation and international comparison. These reports pay attention to China's achievements and experiences in poverty alleviation and reflect on how to strengthen cooperation with China in poverty alleviation. 

Concerns over climate change effects and energy crises have become prominent in the public life over recent years. As a renewable energy, second generation biofuel becomes a potential alternative to the conventional transportation fuel. As a significant fraction of municipal solid waste, paper and cardboard waste is a potential resource for producing bioethanol without causing food crisis and land use issue. By assessing technological, economic and environmental aspects of this technology, this work has demonstrated that several pathways to bioethanol production from waste paper offer economic and environmental competitiveness with petrol. They can also offer environmentally favorable or neutral profiles when compared with the alternative waste paper management options of recycling or incineration with energy recovery. Simplistic, general statements like converting waste paper to bioethanol is either ¿good¿ or ¿bad¿ are not supported by this research. Instead, the detailed techno-economic and environmental profiling work here is essential to identifying the most beneficial approaches to developing valuable and environmentally favorable production of bioethanol from waste papers.

This book introduces advanced thyristor-based shunt hybrid active power filters (HAPFs) for power quality improvement in power grids, which are characterized by a low dc-link operating voltage and a wide compensation range.

Presents an institutional explanation of the dynamics of foreign direct investment (FDI) in China. This title argues that the concentration of FDI in the Chinese manufacturing economy since the beginning of this century is largely the result of China's entrepreneurial urban growth strategy.
