Riding on the success of 3D cinema blockbusters and advances in stereoscopic display technology, 3D video applications have gathered momentum in recent years. 3D-TV System with Depth-Image-Based Rendering: Architectures, Techniques and Challenges surveys depth-image-based 3D-TV systems, which are expected to be put into applications in the near future. Depth-image-based rendering (DIBR) significantly enhances the 3D visual experience compared to stereoscopic systems currently in use. DIBR techniques make it possible to generate additional viewpoints using 3D warping techniques to adjust the perceived depth of stereoscopic videos and provide for auto-stereoscopic displays that do not require glasses for viewing the 3D image.  The material includes a technical review and literature survey of components and complete systems, solutions for technical issues, and implementation of prototypes. The book is organized into four sections: System Overview, Content Generation, Data Compression and Transmission, and 3D Visualization and Quality Assessment. This book will benefit researchers, developers, engineers, and innovators, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students working in relevant areas.

The Book of Tea written by Lu Yu of the Tang Dynasty is the first monograph on tea in the world. In The Book of Tea, Lu Yu inherited and summarized the tea culture in the Tang Dynasty and before the Tang Dynasty and creatively put forward the "e;Method of Boiling Tea"e;. He made a systematic standard of tea ceremony, made tea sets and tea utensils represented by "e;twenty-four utensils"e;, and drew a relatively complete map of tea producing areas in the Tang Dynasty for us through on-the-spot investigation of the tea producing areas. Lu Yu has become a wonderful interpretation of the poetic habitation in traditional culture because of his The Book of Tea, his historical achievements in initiating the tea science, and his spirit of tea ceremony centered on "e;refined and thrifty morality"e;. Lu Yu is also known as the "e;Saint of Tea"e; for it. Since Lu Yu, although there have been great changes in the way by which tea is made, boiled and drunk, The Book of Tea covers many fields of works on tea science in the future with its encyclopedia style writing style and becomes an insurmountable peak. "e;It has been imitated but has never been surpassed"e;. This book is based on the authoritative master copy, and the annotations and translations strive are accurate and smooth. The comments to each chapter not only introduce the content of this chapter, but also sort out the history of tea culture related to it. The two-color printing, tea sets and tea utensils inserted with the text, as well as the well-known paintings reflecting the scenes of making tea, tasting tea and tea competition can not only enable us to intuitively understand the changes in the shape of tea sets and the whole process from picking tea to drinking tea, but also further appreciate the profound connotation of the tea culture.

This volume contains a set of pedagogical reviews covering the most recent applications of low-dimensional quantum field theory in condensed matter physics, written by experts who have made major contributions to this rapidly developing field of research. The main purpose is to introduce active young researchers to new ideas and new techniques which are not covered by the standard textbooks.

This volume contains the lecture notes of the “Spring College on Superconductivity” held from 27 April to 19 June 1992 at ICTP. The distinguished faculty of lecturers has provided a wide coverage of topics on the fascinating subject of superconductivity, ranging from basic physics to the latest developments. The comprehensive reviews included in this volume will prove invaluable for research workers and graduate students in the field.
