It shows how the intersection and mutual influence of these groups -- and of male discourses about them -- transformed ideas about family relations and the proper roles of men and women. Courtesan culture profoundly affected Song social and family life, as entertainment skills became a defining feature of a new model of concubinage and entertainer-concubines increasingly became mothers of literati sons. Neo-Confucianism, the new moral learning of the Song, was in turn significantly shaped by this entertainment culture and the new markets in women it created. Responding to a broad social consensus, Neo-Confucians called for enhanced ritual recognition of concubine mothers and expressed increased concern about wifely jealousy. The book also details the sometimes surprising origins of the Late Imperial cult of fidelity, showing that from its inception the drive to celebrate female loyalty stemmed from a complex amalgam of political, social, and moral agendas. By taking women -- and men's relationships with them -- seriously, Beverly Bossler demonstrates the centrality of gender relations in the social, political, and intellectual life of the Song and Yuan dynasties. 410 0$aHarvard University Studies in East Asian Law ;$v83. 606 $aConcubinage$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCourtesans$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMan-woman relationships$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aSex role$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aWives$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aWomen$zChina$xSocial conditions 615 0$aConcubinage$xHistory 615 0$aCourtesans$xHistory 615 0$aMan-woman relationships$xHistory 615 0$aSex role$xHistory 615 0$aWives$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.40951 700 $aBossler$b Beverely$01575855 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798551303321 996 $aCourtesans, Concubines, and the Cult of Female Fidelity$93853194 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04588nam 22006495 450 001 9910865272403321 005 20240628122220.0 010 $a9783031488474$b(electronic bk.) 010 $z9783031488467 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-48847-4 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31364706 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31364706 035 $a(CKB)32227914900041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-48847-4 035 $a(OCoLC)1438672646 035 $a(EXLCZ)9932227914900041 100 $a20240603d2024 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aExtraction of Semiconductor Diode Parameters $eA Comparative Review of Methods and Materials /$fby Richard Ocaya 205 $a1st ed. 2024. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Springer,$d2024. 215 $a1 online resource (188 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Ocaya, Richard Extraction of Semiconductor Diode Parameters Cham : Springer,c2024 9783031488467 327 $aDetermining p-n Junction Band Gap -- Review of Metal-Semiconductor Junctions -- Contemporary Parameter Extraction Methods -- Transient Methods -- New Parameter Extraction Techniques -- p-n Diode Parameter Extraction -- Novel Unified Method -- Artifical Intelligence Parameter Extraction Methods. 330 $aThis book presents a comprehensive treatise on the extraction of semiconductor diode parameters using various methods. Its focus is on metal-semiconductor, metal-insulator-semiconductor, and p-n junction diodes, covering a wide range of metals and semiconductors, including elemental, compound, organic, and nanostructured materials. By bringing together these methods in one place, this book provides a much-needed standardized point of reference for the field. The methods used for device characterization have spread widely but not yet critically compared and contrasted. This book aims to bridge this gap by offering a comparative review of the methods and providing the most accurate information on current developments. The result is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners who seek to optimize their use of semiconductor diodes in their work. With its thorough coverage and critical analysis, this book fills a large void in the field of semiconductor device characterization. It is an essential reference for anyone interested in the extraction of semiconductor diode parameters using a variety of methods. "Extraction of Semiconductor Diode Parameters: A Comparative Review of Methods and Materials" is an invaluable resource for anyone in the field. The book brilliantly fulfills its mission to encapsulate the latest developments in semiconductor diodes, providing comprehensive coverage of various materials and crucial parameters. Its comparative analysis of extraction methods, attention to series resistance, and exploration of emerging 2D materials make it a standout in the literature. Moreover, the book's dedication to addressing the impact of artificial intelligence is commendable. As a testament to the author's commitment to empowering researchers and engineers, this book is a must-have companion for those seeking to unlock the full potential of semiconductor devices, making it an indispensable reference in this rapidly evolving field.
