The main contribution of the such as fuzzy control [6], neural network control [7], adaptive method is to establish a new parallel control law, where both dynamic programming [8], [9], is attracted by researchers. state and control are considered as the input. The structure of the parallel control is provided, and the relationship between the Among these previous stages, most system control problems parallel control and traditional feedback controls is presented. are analyzed by state feedback control methods in present Considering the situations that the systems are controllable and study: we generally design state feedback controllers to form incompletely controllable, the properties of the parallel control closed-loop systems, that is, the control laws are functions of law are analyzed. The parallel controller design algorithms are the system states. However, the state feedback controllers have given under the conditions that the systems are controllable and incompletely controllable. Finally, numerical simulations are some disadvantages: carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of 1) The traditional state feedback controllers are only related the present method. to the system states rather than the properties of the controllers Index Terms—Continuous-time linear systems, digital twin, and it causes that the control signals may change greatly with parallel controller, parallel intelligence, parallel systems. the system states, which brings great difficulty to the execution of the controllers. 2) The control signals are generated passively, and it is I.

  • China and the World Since 1945 an International History
    MAKING OF THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD MAKING OF THE CONTEMPORARY CHINA AND THE WORLD SINCE 1945 AN INTERNATIONAL HISTORY CHI-KWAN MARK China and the World since 1945 The emergence of China as a dominant regional power with global influence is a significant phenomenon in the twenty-first century. Its origin can be traced back to 1949 when the Chinese Communist Party under Mao Zedong came to power and vowed to transform China and the world. After the ‘century of humiliation’, China was in constant search of a new identity on the world stage. From alliance with the Soviet Union in the 1950s, China normalized relations with America in the 1970s and embraced the global economy and the international community from the 1980s. In China and the World since 1945: An International History, Chi-kwan Mark examines China’s changing relations with the two superpowers, Asian neighbours, developing countries, and European powers. The book offers an overview of China’s involvement in the Korean War, the Sino-Soviet split, Sino-American rapprochement, the end of the Cold War, and globalization. It also assesses the roles of security, ideology, and domestic politics in Chinese foreign policy and provides a synthesis of the latest archival-based research on China’s diplomatic history and Cold War international history. Examining the rise of China from a long-term historical perspective, it will be a valuable resource to students of Chinese history and contemporary international relations. Chi-kwan Mark is Lecturer in International History at Royal Holloway College, University of London. His research interests focus on British– American–Chinese relations during the Cold War and Hong Kong’s colonial and international history.

Rawski2 This version: Jan. 23, 2013 ABSTRACT China’s long-term economic dynamics pose a formidable challenge to economic historians. The Qing Empire (1644-1911), the world’s largest national economy before 1800, experienced a tripling of population during the 17th and 18th centuries with no signs of diminishing per capita income. While the timing remains in dispute, a vast gap emerged between newly rich industrial nations and China’s lagging economy in the wake of the Industrial Revolution. Only with an unprecedented growth spurt beginning in the late 1970s did this great divergence separating China from the global leaders substantially diminish, allowing China to regain its former standing among the world’s largest economies. This essay develops an integrated framework for understanding that entire history, including both the divergence and the recent convergent trend. We explain how deeply embedded political and economic institutions that contributed to a long process of extensive growth before 1800 subsequently prevented China from capturing the benefits associated with the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century, the gradual erosion of these historic constraints and of new obstacles erected by socialist planning eventually opened the door to China’s current boom.

  • (USCR) Is the Official Publication of the US-China Peoples Friendship Association
    INTRODUCTION The US-China Review (USCR) is the official publication of the US-China Peoples Friendship Association. Its predecessor, New China, was created by USCPFA-New York in 1973 and sold by subscription. When New China discontinued publication in 1979, the USCR was already in existence as a broadside newsletter. After New China’s demise, it was upgraded to magazine form. This index covers the years from 1981 through 2012, Volumes V-XXXVI. It does not include letters to the editor, Newsbriefs or the section’s successor China Currents, Travel Notes or resource listings. Exceptions have been made for longer Travel Notes pieces. Over the years under different editors, formatting for titles of articles (use of capital letters and punctuation, for example) has changed. The index reflects these changes except in cases where additional punctuation was added for clarification. The index will be available on line for use by USCR editors and researchers. It should be noted that Yale University houses a complete run of the USCR, and updated indices will be added to that collection annually. Beginning with the winter 2013 issue, USCR editors are responsible for updating to the index. Several people contributed much needed assistance during the preparation of the index. Barbara Cobb, USCR Coordinator; Marci Duryea, USCR Production Coordinator; Richard Pendleton, USCPFA-New England; Douglas Reynolds, Co-president, USCPFA- Atlanta; Bart Trescott, USCPFA-Carbondale; and Kitty Trescott, USCPFA-Carbondale and Director of the Center for Teaching about China provided information and advice, and loaned back issues of the USCR. Any mistakes and/or erroneous judgment calls are the compiler’s alone.
