It highlights the basic theory of water rights, with a view to helping Chinese policymakers acquire a deeper understanding of water rights and the need for a reform program in the long-term development of water-poor China. To do so, it draws on three main sources: Cheung SNS’s “Economic Explanation”, Douglas C. North’s “New Economic History” and Ray Huang’s “Macro History”. The book makes two essential contributions: it elaborates the hierarchical water governance structure in China, which originated in the Qin Dynasty that unified the country 2000 years ago and has been employed without interruption ever since; further, it constructs a choice model for water governance structures and advances the logic of making structural choices with minimum transaction costs under constraint conditions, while also explaining the inherent nature of China’s choice for the hierarchical structure from the perspectives of management cost and cooperation cost. As such, the book enriches and builds on the theories of the “water governance” school represented by Karl Marx, Karl Wittfogel and Ray Huang, laying the foundation for the further study of water rights theory in contemporary China.Water Resources Development and Management,1614-810XSustainable developmentEnvironmental managementHydrologyWater-supplyNatural resourcesSustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000Hydrology/Water Resourceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/211000Water Industry/Water Technologieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/214000Natural Resource and Energy Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48010Sustainable development.Environmental management.Hydrology.Water-supply.Natural resources.Sustainable Development.Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.Hydrology/Water Resources.Water Industry/Water Technologies.Natural Resource and Energy Economics.338.927Wang Yahuaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1059259BOOK9910299410303321Assessing Water Rights in China2504798UNINA03932oam 2200481zu 450 991087244250332120241212214836.010.1109/ULTSYM.1998(CKB)111026746719484(SSID)ssj0000455018(PQKBManifestationID)12175363(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000455018(PQKBWorkID)10399412(PQKB)10296563(NjHacI)99111026746719484(EXLCZ)9911102674671948420160829d1999 uy engur|||||||||||txtccr1998 IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium[Place of publication not identified]IEEE19991 online resource illustrationsBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph9780780340954 0780340957 1998 IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium -- Silicon micromachined ultrasonic transducers -- Effect of wraparound electrodes on ultrasonic array performance -- A 2.5 MHz phased linear array made from stacked piezoelectric composite -- Defect imaging by micromachined ultrasonic air transducers -- A new detection method for capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers -- Optimization of a sandwich driver structure using Finite Element Analysis -- Measurement of spectral response of ultrasonic probes.

The aim is to interpret experiments on surface acoustic wave monitoring of the wetting of high-energy solid surfaces (G. McHale et al., Furaday. Discuss., 1997, 107, 27-38). These experiments demonstrated a strong oscillatory behaviour of both transmission and reflection coefficients as the area occupied by the liquid increased with time. The variable thickness of the liquid is taken into account and analmcal results and numerical calculations are presented.Ultrasonic wavesCongressesUltrasonicsCongressesUltrasonic wavesUltrasonics534.55Schneider S.
