Steven Cheung and Coasian Economics: A Personal Reflection
No full textAbstractIt is an intimidating challenge, both emotionally and intellectually, to write something of enough worth to celebrate the 80th birthday of Steven Cheung and to honor the memory of Professor Ronald Coase. Both are serious scholars. Coase was a devoted scholar; nothing interested him other than academics. Steve has much wider interests, ranging from photography, calligraphy, to art collection. Nonetheless, both are adamant reformers and determined to change economics. They have set an intimidating standard.</jats:p
Some Weighted Hardy-type Inequalities of Vector-Valued Functions
No full textBy adopting the C-technique of Cheung and Pečrić, we establish some interesting weighted Hardy-type inequalities of vector-valued functions. These generalize and improve some existing results of Cheung, Cheung-Hanjš-Pēcarić, Hanjš-Love-Pečarić, Levinson, and Pachpatte. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

Leslie Cheung in mainland China: cross-border circulation, fan participation, and cultural memory
No full textDespite Hong Kong star Leslie Cheung's suicide due to depression in 2003, his influence in Mainland China has not only remained undiminished over the past 20 years but has even grown stronger, attracting a large following of young fans. While several Hong Kong stars have passed away prematurely, few have possessed the same level of charisma and enduring influence as Leslie Cheung in the Mainland. From the perspective of an interdisciplinary study, which mixes star research, fan research and cultural memory studies, this thesis deals primarily with Cheung's cross-border circulation and posthumous stardom in the Mainland, with a focus on how his fans have constructed his collective memory in the particular political and cultural environment of Mainland China. Through an analysis of the historical materials in Chinese and English and related literature, this thesis firstly examines the complex relationship between Hong Kong and the Mainland in terms of population, economy and the cultural industry before 2003 to understand Cheung's cross-border circulation in a complex and dynamic historical context. The thesis then investigates how both formal and informal paths have contributed to his circulation in Mainland China by analysing various English and Chinese materials, and fan recollections. Also, through personal interviews, direct observation, and digital ethnography, it explores how fans have constructed his memory among the public and fan communities through offline commemorations, memorial places, and online fan communities.
The thesis argues that through a complex circulatory network constructed through industrial collaboration, star self-image construction, and fan participation – negotiating with the specific ideology and breaking through the censorship system – Cheung successfully established his cross-border star status in the unique economic and historical context of the Mainland during the 1980s and early 2000s. This thesis also argues that by organising commemorative events, establishing memorial sites, and re-imagining his image within online communities, fans have successfully facilitated the flow of Cheung’s memory across generations and groups, thus consolidating his posthumous cross-border stardom and collective memory. In this way it reveals how fan participation is able to construct a cross-border stardom in the complex dynamics of the Mainland through negotiation with specific ideologies during a star's life and after their death

Local and Global Models for Articulated Motion Analysis
No full textVision is likely the most important of the senses employed by humans in understanding their environment, but computer systems are still sorely lacking in this respect. The number of potential applications for visually capable computer systems is huge; this thesis focuses on the field of motion capture, in particular dealing with the problems encountered when analysing the motion of articulated or jointed targets, such as people. Joint articulation greatly increases the complexity of a target object, and increases the incidence of self-occlusion (one body part obscuring another). These problems are compounded in typical outdoor scenes by the clutter and noise generated by other objects. This thesis presents a model-based approach to automated extraction of walking people from video data, under indoor and outdoor capture conditions. Local and global modelling strategies are employed in an iterative process, similar to the Generalised Expectation-Maximisation algorithm. Prior knowledge of human shape, gait motion and self-occlusion is used to guide this extraction process. The extracted shape and motion information is applied to construct a gait signature, sufficient for recognition purposes. Results are presented demonstrating the success of this approach on the Southampton Gait Database, comprising 4820 sequences from 115 subjects. A recognition rate of 98.6% is achieved on clean indoor data, comparing favourably with other published approaches. This recognition rate is reduced to 87.1% under the more difficult outdoor capture conditions. Additional analyses are presented examining the discriminative potential of model features. It is shown that the majority of discriminative potential is contained within body shape features and gait frequency, although motion dynamics also make a significant contribution
