Acting the Right Part
Acting the Right Part is a cultural history of huaju (modern Chinese drama) from 1966 to 1996. Xiaomei Chen situates her study both in the context of Chinese literary and cultural history and in the context of comparative drama and theater, cultural studies, and critical issues relevant to national theater worldwide. Following a discussion of the marginality of modern Chinese drama in relation to other genres, periods, and cultures, early chapters focus on the dynamic relationship between theater and revolution. Chosen during the Cultural Revolution as the exclusive artistic vehicle to promote proletariat art, "model theater" raises important questions about the complex relationships between women, memory, nation/state, revolution, and visual culture. Throughout this study, Chen argues that dramatic norms inform both theatrical performance and everyday political behavior in contemporary China.
Only Death Can Break Us Apart
Xia Hongying’s wish was simple: to live a good, peaceful life. But people’s hearts are unpredictable. Her husband was a soldier, away from home year-round. Her sister-in-law was like a sworn enemy, always gloating at her misfortune. Her parents-in-law were biased, constantly scheming to make her subsidize the eldest son. Her younger sister-in-law was foolish, being played in circles by a scumbag man... By the time Huo Nanxun returned from the army—bringing back with him a young widow—whatever affection she had for him was nearly worn away. She once overheard someone ask Huo Nanxun: “A marriage arranged by a matchmaker, does it mean there’s no real love?” His silence at that mom...

Deformation Models
The computational modelling of deformations has been actively studied for the last thirty years. This is mainly due to its large range of applications that include computer animation, medical imaging, shape estimation, face deformation as well as other parts of the human body, and object tracking. In addition, these advances have been supported by the evolution of computer processing capabilities, enabling realism in a more sophisticated way. This book encompasses relevant works of expert researchers in the field of deformation models and their applications. The book is divided into two main parts. The first part presents recent object deformation techniques from the point of view of computer graphics and computer animation. The second part of this book presents six works that study deformations from a computer vision point of view with a common characteristic: deformations are applied in real world applications. The primary audience for this work are researchers from different multidisciplinary fields, such as those related with Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Computer Imaging, Biomedicine, Bioengineering, Mathematics, Physics, Medical Imaging and Medicine.

Multibiometric Systems
Multibiometric systems are gaining popularity because they are able to overcome limitations such as non-universality, noisy sensor data and susceptibility to spoof attacks common in unibiometric systems. We address two critical issues in the design of a multibiometric system, namely, fusion methodology and template security. We propose a fusion methodology based on the Neyman-Pearson theorem for combination of match scores provided by multiple biometric matchers. The likelihood ratio (LR) test used in the Neyman-Pearson theorem directly maximizes the genuine accept rate (GAR) at any desired false accept rate (FAR). We extend the likelihood ratio based fusion scheme to incorporate the quality...
