Formation of Chinese art cinema : 1990-2003
The Formation of Chinese art cinema: 1990-2003 examines the development of Chinese art film in the people's republic of China from 1990, when the first Sixth Generation film Mama was released, to 2003, when authorities acknowledged the legitimacy of underground filmmakers. Through an exploration of the production and consecration mechanisms of the new art wave and its representative styles, this book argues that the art wave of the 1990s fundamentally defined Chinese art cinema. In particular, this vital art wave was not enabled by democratic liberalism, but by the specific industrial development, in which the film system transitioned from Socialist propaganda into a commercialized entity. Allowing Chinese art film to grow but at the same time denying its legitimacy, this paradoxical transition process shaped Chinese art film's institutional and aesthetical alternative positioning, which eventually helped consolidate the art wave into art cinema. Ultimately, this book is a history of the Chinese portion of global art cinema, which also reveals the complex Chinese cultural experiences during the Reform Era.

Architecture-Aware Optimization Strategies in Real-time Image Processing
In the field of image processing, many applications require real-time execution, particularly those in the domains of medicine, robotics and transmission, to name but a few. Recent technological developments have allowed for the integration of more complex algorithms with large data volume into embedded systems, in turn producing a series of new sophisticated electronic architectures at affordable prices. This book performs an in-depth survey on this topic. It is primarily written for those who are familiar with the basics of image processing and want to implement the target processing design using different electronic platforms for computing acceleration. The authors present techniques and approaches, step by step, through illustrative examples. This book is also suitable for electronics/embedded systems engineers who want to consider image processing applications as sufficient imaging algorithm details are given to facilitate their understanding.

Waste Valorisation
A guide to the wide-variety of waste valorisation techniques related to various biomass, waste materials and by products
Waste Valorisation provides a comprehensive review of waste chemistry and its application to the generation of value-added products. The authors – noted experts on the topic – offer a clear understanding of waste diversity, drivers and policies governing its valorisation based on the location. The book provides information on the principles behind various valorisation schemes and offers a description of general treatment options with their evaluation guidelines in terms of cost, energy consumption and waste generation.
Each of the book's chapters contain an introduction which summarises the current production and processing methods, yields, energy sources and other pertinent information for each specific type of waste. The authors focus on the most relevant novel technologies for value-added processing of waste streams or industrial by-products which can readily be integrated into current waste management systems. They also provide the pertinent technical, economic, social and environmental evaluations of bioconversions as future sustainable technologies in a biorefinery. This important book:
* Presents the most current technologies which integrate waste and/or by-product valorisation
* Includes discussions on end-product purity and life-cycle assessment challenges
* Explores relevant novel technologies for value-added processing of waste streams or industrial by-products which can be integrated into current waste management systems
* Offers a guide to waste reuse, a key sustainability goal for existing biorefineries wishing to reduce material and environmental costs
Written for academic researchers and industrial scientists working in agricultural and food production, bioconversions and waste management professionals, Waste Valorisation is an authoritative guide to the chemistry and applications of waste materials and provides an overview of the most recent developments in the field.

Data-driven phenotypic profiling of prediabetes reveals heterogeneous cardiometabolic risks in Chinese adults
Background
The heterogeneous and complex nature of prediabetes presents a major challenge in identifying individuals predisposed to developing incident diabetes and related complications. We aimed to identify phenotypic subgroups of prediabetes at risk and to explore their distinct associations with cardiometabolic outcomes.
Methods
This study included 79,000 individuals with prediabetes from the three large-scale prospective cohorts in China. Phenotypic heterogeneity was identified using a soft-clustering algorithm based on the proximity network derived from uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP), combined with graph-clustering and Gaussian mixture models. Associations between phenotype probabilities and the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and kidney events were assessed to evaluate risk differences across the identified profiles.
Results
Six phenotypic profiles were identified, including five with distinct metabolic features (representing ~ 70% of the total population), and one without significant features. These profiles demonstrated substantial differences in both baseline cardiometabolic burden and future disease risk. For instance, individuals with a 20% higher probability of belonging to the hypertensive profile had a 9, 6, and 12% higher risk of T2D, CVD, and CKD, respectively, while the profile with high lipids, creatinine, and liver enzyme was associated with an 10% increased risk of T2D and kidney events. Moreover, incorporating phenotypic probabilities into multivariable models significantly improved the prediction of disease risks (likelihood ratio test,
P
< 0.05).
Conclusions
Prediabetes exhibits substantial phenotypic heterogeneity, and delineation of distinct metabolic profiles enables refined risk stratification and informs precision prevention strategies.
