For fans of Oliver Jeffers, this stunningly illustrated, whimsical picture book is about finding your own voice and learning how to connect with others through storytelling. A quiet child in a boisterous family, Emma Wen dreams of a world that is peaceful and silent. When she reads about the blue&nbsp;whale&nbsp;- with a heart so big her father could stand in it - she has&nbsp;an idea.&nbsp; She fashions a boat out of household objects and sails from her bedroom into the mouth of a&nbsp;whale, where she settles in happily.&nbsp; Emma has finally found her peace and quiet.&nbsp; That is until another child, Owen Tang, arrives inside the&nbsp;whale&nbsp;and is loud, noisy and "everything she is running away from".&nbsp; Emma and Owen's unlikely friendship blossoms inside the microcosm of the&nbsp;whale&nbsp;in a beautifully told story of friendship and finding your own voice in a world that is "filled with too much of everything, everywhere." With lush, irresistible illustrations and its balance of sensitivity and adventure, Xin Li's author/illustrator debut is an ode to storytelling and imagination and displays her keen understanding of the emotional world of children. &nbsp;

Statistical Performance Modeling and Optimization reviews various statistical methodologies that have been recently developed to model, analyze and optimize performance variations at both transistor level and system level in integrated circuit (IC) design. The following topics are discussed in detail: sources of process variations, variation characterization and modeling, Monte Carlo analysis, response surface modeling, statistical timing and leakage analysis, probability distribution extraction, parametric yield estimation and robust IC optimization. These techniques provide the necessary CAD infrastructure that facilitates the bold move from deterministic, corner-based IC design toward statistical and probabilistic design. Statistical Performance Modeling and Optimization reviews and compares different statistical IC analysis and optimization techniques, and analyzes their trade-offs for practical industrial applications. It serves as a valuable reference for researchers, students and CAD practitioners.

Dr. Kimasi Browne s Traditional China and African Diasporic Culture: Erhu, Apu, and the Gospel of Intercultural Exchange gives bibliographical information about the music exchange between Chinese Erhu and the Gospel music, and between the mission and objectives at CCOM and Azusa Pacific University (APU). Professor. Eric Charry s Cultural Revolution and African Music: Guinea and its Legacy discusses how the music is influenced by the country s leadership. Some of the points elucidate analysis on Chinese contemporary music. Dr. Cynthia Tse Kimberlin s The Eubanks Conservatory of Music and Arts illustrates how a music conservatory with a diverse international student body operates within a predominately African American middle class community in Los Angeles. It touches the methodology and the meaning of the multicultural music education. Dr. Timothy Njoora s Music and Meaning: Some Reflections Through Personal Compositions uses his own compositions to share his personal reflections on the construction of the personal and collective meaning-making throughout the composing process, and also relates the situation of professional composers in Africa. Professor. John Robison presents his paper From the Slums of Calcutta to the Concert Halls of London: The Life and Music of Indian Composer John Mayer (1930-2004) showing that similar approaches are also reflected in the personae and musical lives of both Chinese and African musicians. Professor Li Xin s paper My Understanding of African Pianism presents the author s own understanding of the piano works by Professor Akin Euba from Nigeria as well as by African-American composers. It reflects the methodologies used in researching music by Chinese scholars about their own music traditions as well as about researching traditions outside China. Professor Ming Yan s article Symphony of the Century-- The Cry after 100 Years of Chinese New Music deals with the concerns of the music situation in contemporary China. Professor Wang Jianxin s article Discipline Analysis of Qin Melodies says that it is important to analyze the process of Qin music making in order to understand Qin music. Professor Xiang Yang s article Kinship and the Inheritance of Music Customs focuses on the social and human relations in current rural communities formed by certain regional and blood ties within a relatively stable historical and continuous farming culture and society. Professor Xiao Mei presented her article Yue (music) Gathered in Shen (Body): An Incorporated Practice Perspective on Chinese Traditional Music . Apart from the composition-centered type of musicology, the development of Chinese traditional music has led to a holistic approach of the performer as the center, as well as the process, movement and function of the music. Professor Zhang Boyu's paper on Four Ways of Transformation in the Development of Chinese Traditional Music illustrates four situations of Chinese traditional music change: continuous traditional music, traditional music transforming from a lifestyle to an artistic form, traditional music transforming from a lifestyle to a cultural symbol, and completely professional traditional music. Professor Zhang Zhentao' paper An Historical Retrospective on Folk Arts Festivals - A Policy for the Preservation of Folk Music During the 20th Century looks at the staged festivals organized by the Chinese government as the agency to make Chinese folk art professional, modernized and urbanized. And finally Professor Zhou Qingqing article Variations of Shi Diao (fashionable tunes) in Han Folk Songs analyzes these tunes to illustrate the connections between the variations of each type of tune popular in different regions of China.

This book gives an account of the necessary background for group algebras and crossed products for actions of a group or a semigroup on a space and reports on some very recently developed techniques with applications to particular examples. Much of the material is available here for the first time in book form. The topics discussed are among the most classical and intensely studied C*-algebras. They are important for applications in fields as diverse as the theory of unitary group representations, index theory, the topology of manifolds or ergodic theory of group actions.
Part of the most basic structural information for such a C*-algebra is contained in its K-theory. The determination of the K-groups of C*-algebras constructed from group or semigroup actions is a particularly challenging problem. Paul Baum and Alain Connes proposed a formula for the K-theory of the reduced crossed product for a group action that would permit, in principle, its computation. By work of many hands, the formula has by now been verified for very large classes of groups and this work has led to the development of a host of new techniques. An important ingredient is Kasparov's bivariant K-theory.More recently, also the C*-algebras generated by the regular representation of a semigroup as well as the crossed products for actions of semigroups by endomorphisms have been studied in more detail.Intriguing examples of actions of such semigroups come from ergodic theory as well as from algebraic number theory. The computation of the K-theory of the corresponding crossed products needs new techniques. In cases of interest the K-theory of the algebras reflects ergodic theoretic or number theoretic properties of the action.
