This book presents articles on original material from invited talks given at the 'IMS Workshop on Applied Probability' organized by the Institute of Mathematical Sciences at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in May 1999. The goal of the workshop was to promote research in applied probability for local mathematicians and engineers and to foster exchange with experts from other parts of the world. The main themes were mathematical finance and stochastic networks. The topics range from the theoretical study, e.g., ergodic theory and diffusion processes, to very practical problems, such as convertible bonds with market risk and insider trading. The wide scope of coverage in the book make it a helpful reference for graduate students and researchers, and for practitioners working in mathematical finance.

Developing Advanced Proficiency in Chinese through Modern Issues serves as a solid foundational textbook for the intermediate and advanced level in two volumes, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of language and concepts. The 24 units include a wide range of topics, including popular culture, e-commerce, green energy, and telecommunications fraud, reflecting the dynamic nature of China’s evolving social landscape. Designed for two sequential advanced courses, the set spans one academic year.While Volume 1 features podcast-style dialogues to bridge spoken and written language, Volume 2 focuses on formal news-style reports, preparing learners for advanced skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Each lesson includes audiovisual content, readings, vocabulary, and discussion questions, encouraging students to critically engage with key issues and apply their language skills in real-world contexts.Key grammar and language points are explained with examples, and targeted exercises reinforce learning. Reading passages, discussions, and practical assignments foster real-world language use, including summarizing news-related articles or videos, expressing personal opinions, and translation.Support materials for this book include video materials and authentic resources, supporting learners in reaching advanced proficiency. This volume is an invaluable resource for those striving to excel in Chinese while gaining a deep understanding of contemporary Chinese society.

This book provides a systematic review of carbon materials, focusing on their properties, development and applications. It emphasizes the synthesis processes of these materials and carbon catalysis, as well as the latest advances in novel carbon materials.Carbon materials are non-metallic substances composed mainly of organic materials with a wide range of applications. They can be classified into several types, each with unique structures and properties. This book details their preparation methods, physical and chemical properties and characterization, covering carbon quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphite, carbon fibers, carbon spheres and activated carbon. It also explores their applications in catalysis, energy storage and environmental protection.This title will serve as a useful reference for researchers and professionals interested in carbon materials, petrochemicals, coal chemicals, new energy and environmental protection. It will also benefit students and academics in the fields of chemical engineering, energy and environmental protection.

This book examines how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has attempted to bolster its nationalist legitimacy through the utilisation of Chinese history. The aim is to remind the Chinese people that the CCP liberated China from imperialism after 1949 and has since restored national pride.

The last few years have witnessed fast development on dictionary learning approaches for a set of visual computing tasks, largely due to their utilization in developing new techniques based on sparse representation.
