 Anthony Y. H. Fung, "Cultural Policy and East Asian Rivalry: The Hong Kong Gaming Industry" English | 2018 | ISBN: 1783486252, 1783486244 | PDF | pages: 170 | 10.3 mb Hong Kong was once an established hub of creativity in Asia recognized internationally for its cinema, Bruce Lee and Kung Fu. Cantopop, its particular form of pop music, was popular throughout China and East Asia from the 1970s. So why is Hong Kong's creative industry today in a state of stagnation?  Sofie S. Berg, Eric Fiedler, "Cultural Heritage: Perspectives, Challenges and Future Directions" English | 2017 | ISBN: 1536129135 | PDF | pages: 201 | 10.4 mb The authors begin by discussing research on the digitalization of cultural heritage, illuminating the centralization and specific conservatism of digitization in Poland, a low level of access to digitized objects, and poor acclimatization to user needs. A study is presented on the ethical and legal aspects of shipwrecks with a complex ownership status due to the waters they lie in and because their cargo may belong to a community that was colonised, to one that does not exist today, or to a state whose territory belongs to a different, new state. This chapter concentrates on the varied formulas for shipwreck claim, as well as the debates on state succession for underwater cultural heritage and on the return of cultural objects found in shipwrecks. Next, an investigation is offered on the dimensions of design intervention for territorial Cultural Heritage, from the typology of the object of intervention to the scale of intervention, up to identifying the specific actions that can be implemented. The authors go on to review cultural policy agendas of the EU from the macro perspective in the context of EU's Europeana project as a case of digital humanities. Additionally, they discuss how the Europeana project is currently executed and what approach it is focused on. Documentation of cultural heritage is examined as a necessity, with its importance exemplified in today's tempestuous world, where many monuments vanish because of the advancement of human society, indifference, vandalism, terrorism, and other reasons. A paper is presented with the goal of determining which non-invasive methods give the instructions for preparing the proper facsimile, or "reprint of an out-of-print book that represents an identical reproduction of the original." Finally, the authors deliberate on the modification of Building Information Modeling methodology to address the modeling and management of heritage/historic buildings, resulting in Heritage/Historic Building Information Modeling.  Mostow, "Courtly Visions: The Ise Stories and the Politics of Cultural Appropriation" English | 2014 | pages: 365 | ISBN: 9004244859 | PDF | 56,2 mb Courtly Visions: The Ise Stories and the Politics of Cultural Appropriation traces-through the visual and literary record-the reception and use of the tenth-century literary romance through the seventeenth century.  Controlled Diffusion Processes by Nicolai V. Krylov English | PDF | 1980 | 314 Pages | ISBN : 3540709134 | 13.6 MB Stochastic control theory is a relatively young branch of mathematics. The beginning of its intensive development falls in the late 1950s and early 1960s. ~urin~ that period an extensive literature appeared on optimal stochastic control using the quadratic performance criterion (see references in Wonham [76]). At the same time, Girsanov [25] and Howard [26] made the first steps in constructing a general theory, based on Bellman's technique of dynamic programming, developed by him somewhat earlier [4]. Two types of engineering problems engendered two different parts of stochastic control theory. Problems of the first type are associated with multistep decision making in discrete time, and are treated in the theory of discrete stochastic dynamic programming.  Contemporary Geometry: J.-Q. Zhong Memorial Volume by Hung-Hsi Wu English | PDF | 1991 | 483 Pages | ISBN : 0306437422 | 29.4 MB Early one morning in April of 1987, the Chinese mathematician J. -Q. Zhong died unexpectedly of a heart attack in New York. He was then near the end of a one-year visit in the United States. When news of his death reached his Chinese-American friends, it was immediately decided by one and all that something should be done to preserve his memory. The present volume is an outgrowth of this sentiment. His friends in China have also established a Zhong Jia-Qing Memorial Fund, which has since twice awarded the Zhong Jia-Qing prizes for Chinese mathematics graduate students. It is hoped that at least part of the reasons for the esteem and affection in which he was held by all who knew him would come through in the succeeding pages of this volume.
