本書出版至今已有二十餘年，閱讀本書學者、工作者應已超過十多萬人,對國內企業界實施品管有莫大的助益，對品質作人員影響深遠，深受肯定。 本書出版後一直還未修版，這次品質學會與品管先進旅居美國的房克成老師溝通同意下，由學生代為作修版的工作。為了符合本書原有的特質及平易近人的用語，在修改過程中，儘可能不影響本書品質，以少改的原則作修版的動作，其修版的重點為1. 將原有排版印錯字部份全部更正。2.一部份的用語，符號，含義修改。3. 圖及表的排序重新編號調整。4."製程管制"本來放在附錄，現調整為第9章，同時章節,內容次序作變動。5. 附表部份刪除重覆部份，以節省篇幅，同時並依章節次序重新排列。6. 最後綜合測驗題增加很多，以含概每個章節對應的題目，增加學習的效果。此次改版時間匆促，有疏漏之處，在所難免，並期請愛好本書之讀者先進不吝指教

Mechanical and Electrical Systems in Buildings provides an interactive, multidisciplinary approach to the building process. It illustrates the modern realities of planning and constructing buildings with efficient, sustainable mechanical and electrical systems. Five major disciplines are covered: HVAC, plumbing and fire protection, electrical power and telecommunications, illumination, and noise and vibration control. The 7th Edition responds to continual advancements in the field. As with each new edition, applications of mechanical and electrical technology in buildings were updated to reflect new industry standards. Chapters covering HVAC systems and equipment were also updated to include new technologies and their applications.

Application of Artificial Intelligence in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Energy Management presents the state-of-the-art in hybrid electric vehicle system modelling and management. With a focus on learning-based energy management strategies, the book provides detailed methods, mathematical models, and strategies designed to optimize the energy management of the energy supply module of a hybrid vehicle.The book first addresses the underlying problems in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) modeling, and then introduces several artificial intelligence-based energy management strategies of HEV systems, including those based on fuzzy control with driving pattern recognition, multi objective optimization, fuzzy Q-learning and Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithms. To help readers apply these management strategies, the book also introduces State of Charge and State of Health prediction methods and real time driving pattern recognition. For each application, the detailed experimental process

Governing After War explores how wartime processes affects post-war state-building efforts when rebels win a civil war and come into power. Post-war governance is a continuation of war--although violence has ceased, the victor must consolidate its control over the state through a process of internal conquest. This means carefully making choices about resource allocation towards development and security. Where does the victor choose to spend, and why? And what are the implications for ultimately consolidating power and preventing conflict recurrence? The book examines wartime rebel-civilian ties under rebel governance and explains how these ties--along with rebel governing institutions--shape the rebel victors' post-war various resource allocation strategies to establish control at the sub-national level. In turn, successfully balancing resources dedicated toward development and security helps the victor to consolidate power. The book relies on mixed-methods evidence from Zimbabwe and L
