Focusing on advanced research developments, this book explores state estimation and fault diagnosis techniques for complex systems under closed-loop control, addressing nonlinearities and stochastic events. It offers insights into design methodologies for both state estimation and fault diagnosis units, making it a valuable resource for professionals and researchers in the field.

Focusing on the innovative development of self-propelled capsule robots for medical use, this resource explores the journey from conceptualization to proof-of-concept demonstrations. It emphasizes applied dynamics principles and mathematical modeling techniques that enable effective navigation within the human intestine. Aimed at researchers, engineers, and students, the book provides a multidisciplinary approach, integrating theoretical foundations with practical insights to advance the design of medical devices and enhance current practices in capsule endoscopy.

The report delves into the estimation and grading of customer Probability of Default (PD) within financial institutions, highlighting the established use of a firm-wide master scale for internal portfolios. It addresses the ongoing debates regarding the comparison of grade PDs, average PDs across grades, and the observed Default Rate (DR). Additionally, it examines the Bayesian estimator for grade PDs, emphasizing its potential advantages over the traditional method of using simple default rates based on varying prior distribution assumptions.

The book explores the complex identity formation of Western migrants as they relocate from the West back to China. It delves into how their experiences and perceptions shape their understanding of self and otherness in a new cultural context. Through various narratives, it examines themes of belonging, cultural adaptation, and the challenges of navigating dual identities in a rapidly changing environment. This insightful analysis sheds light on the dynamics of migration and identity in a globalized world.

This seminar paper explores key concepts in business economics, focusing on banking, stock exchanges, insurance, and accounting. It analyzes the interconnections between these sectors and their impact on the economy. Through a detailed examination of financial systems, the paper highlights current trends, challenges, and opportunities within the industry. It serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the complexities of financial markets and their role in economic stability and growth.

Focusing on regulatory compliance, this technical report outlines a framework for quantifying and monitoring uncertainties related to Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) parameters such as Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD), and Credit Conversion Factor (CCF). It aligns with the European Banking Authority's guidelines effective January 1, 2021, and introduces a methodology for adjusting estimates based on categorized deficiency types. The proposed approach aims to be intuitive, flexible, and transparent for institutions navigating these complex requirements.

The thesis explores the creation of theranostic gold nanostars (GNS) aimed at enhancing cancer imaging and therapy. It introduces an innovative dual treatment approach that merges immune-checkpoint inhibition with GNS-mediated photothermal nanotherapy. This method successfully eliminates primary tumors while also activating immune responses that target and treat distant, untreated tumors in a mouse model, showcasing its potential for comprehensive cancer treatment.

The first retrospective of a true master of Chinese Art, published to coincide with an exhibition at the Ashmolean which runs from 7 November 2017 to 15 April 2018.

"The avifauna of China include a total of close to 1,500 species, of which 60 are endemic. More than 100 species are globally threatened. This new field guide, published in China by Chinese National Geography, treats all species, illustrating every one using 4,000 individual images. Each species has identification text and a distribution map. It is, in every way, a modern-style field guide and will fill a void for birders within and outside China"--
