Ju-Yi Wang Books

The book explores the intricate relationship between organ and channel theories in traditional Chinese medicine, emphasizing how this understanding enhances diagnostic accuracy and clinical outcomes. Collaboratively authored by respected scholar Wang Ju-Yi and his American apprentice Jason Robertson, it presents a unique channel palpation methodology for improved point selection and technique. The content is delivered in an engaging format that captures the mentor-apprentice dynamic through dialogues, questions, and real-life case studies, making complex concepts accessible.

Focusing on Han Chinese migration during the Qing period, the book examines its profound social, economic, and political effects on Inner Mongolia. Yi Wang connects local historical developments to broader global movements, illustrating how Inner Mongolia became integrated into the emerging nation-state of China and subsequently into the global capitalist economy. The analysis highlights the complexities of migration and its lasting impact on regional identity and economic structures.

The book critically examines Australia's foreign relations, particularly its complex relationship with the People's Republic of China since 1949. It explores the economic and political dimensions of policy-making, analyzing how internal and external factors influence Australia's approach to international relations. By challenging the notion of Australian dependence on great-power allies, the author provides a nuanced understanding of the evolving dynamics in Australia's foreign policy landscape.

The book explores three experiments focusing on how customization tools can enhance information indexing in computer desktop environments. The first experiment reveals that users are more likely to customize when costs are low and benefits are high. The second highlights how these tools enable a balance between internal memory and external cues, significantly affecting performance based on information needs. The final experiment indicates that less efficient communication methods result in fewer help-seeking behaviors, leading to sub-optimal outcomes. Ultimately, it emphasizes the importance of adaptable customization tools for effective information retrieval.

Does the language we speak affect the way we think? This Element provides a synthesis of contemporary research on the interplay between language and cognition in speakers of two or more languages and examines variables deemed to impact bilingual acquisition and conceptualization of language-specific thinking patterns during L2 learning.

Featuring insights from academics, researchers, and industry experts, this book provides a comprehensive overview of fashion management. It incorporates a variety of real-life case studies, making it a valuable resource for advanced students, academics, and professionals in the field.

This thesis focuses on magnetic reconnection processes in the boundary layer of the interplanetary magnetic cloud. Magnetic reconnection is an important and frontier topic in the realm of physics. Various physical phenomena can be observed during the reconnection process but lots of them are not fully understood. This thesis provides the first observational evidence of energetic electrons associated with magnetic reconnection in the solar wind and discusses the particle acceleration problems. In addition, after analyzing the particle flux variations in Magnetic Cloud Boundary Layer, the thesis proposes a possible new criterion for the identification of magnetic reconnection in the solar wind. These tantalizing results could be particular clues to understand the dynamical problems in magnetic reconnection processes.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Beijing’s urban structure in the 20th century, analyzing essential social and economic changes in the housing sector. Focusing on the urban changes that took place under the market economy after 1978 and beyond, the book addresses the demolition of courtyard houses in Beijing’s old city, the relocation of low-income families from the old city, the government’s role regarding housing in the city, and residential segregation in Beijing. Expanding on the author’s PhD thesis at the University of Cambridge, it is illustrated with a wealth of historic photos and maps of Beijing. Presenting relevant descriptions, extensive literature and case studies, the book offers a valuable resource for students and scholars of architecture, urban studies and Chinese studies. First published in 2013 by Pace in Hong Kong, it has since been added to the libraries of many distinguished universities, including Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Columbia, Yale, Stanford, Cornell, U Penn, NYU, UC Berkeley, Hong Kong University, UBC in Canada and the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa.

Focusing on the fabrication and performance of nanometer materials, the book delves into various thermite reactions involving aluminum and metal oxide nanocomposites. It explores the impact initiation of nanostructured aluminum-magnesium alloys and investigates the reaction mechanisms of aluminum/iron-oxide composites. Additionally, the text covers the fabrication and performance of nanometer HNIW and HMX, as well as the thermodynamics and kinetics of nanometer nitramines' thermolysis, highlighting mechanisms that affect the sensitivity of nanometer RDX.
