1	The Future of Media: Dynamic Content Transformation and Distribution Earnshaw, Rae A., Cunningham, S., Excell, Peter S. January 2013 (has links) No / Media content is becoming ubiquitous and globally accessible, and can be held and accessed just as easily on a global network as on local devices which are increasingly intelligent and network ready. Digital intelligence is becoming seamless and invisible, enabling more attention to be paid to the content and the user’s interaction with it. The effects of convergence on the media landscape are substantial. Traditional media distribution channels are increasingly in the hands of the consumer rather than the distributor. News information can be generated by the general public by means of mobile devices and have a dynamic global impact via social networking sites. Political elections are being influenced in real time by information circulating on social networks in addition to the more formal statements of policy. This paper explores some of these transformative effects, the disruptive effects on traditional business models, and their implications for the future. Digital convergence
2	Suporte para transmissão de mídia contínua entre servidor e clientes cooperativos. Shimoda, Marcio Akio 19 August 2005 (has links) Made available in DSpace on 2016-06-02T19:06:28Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 DissMAS.pdf: 1097300 bytes, checksum: 0523c552783284a2613a52f0ce2a4cc1 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2005-08-19 / In this work the problem of the multimedia content distribution to a large number of computers is addressed. Specifically, we consider the problem of the server overloading that occurs due to the increase of the volume of requests to receive content. The consequence is the increase of response time and denial of service. As solution a communication model complementing the traditional client-serve is presented. It is based on the cooperative networks, where the clients cooperate to distribute the media, where they act as a kind of temporary server, until the server come back to a normal stage. Using such redirectioning scheme, the data networked traffic on server is decreased which alleviates its load. The proposed solution is shown in detail, pointing the modifications in the traditional model. / Neste trabalho discutimos o problema da distribuição de conteúdo multimídia para um grande número de computadores. Especificamente, consideramos o problema da sobrecarga do servidor, que ocorre devido ao rápido aumento do volume de requisições para receber conteúdo. Como conseqüência tem-se o aumento do tempo de resposta e até negação de serviço. Apresentamos como solução um modelo de comunicação para complementar o tradicional cliente-servidor. Ele é baseado nas redes cooperativas, onde os clientes cooperam para distribuir a mídia, fazendo com que eles atuem como uma espécie de servidor temporário a novos clientes. Com esse redirecionamento, reduz-se o tráfego no servidor, o que alivia a sua carga. A solução proposta é apresentada em detalhes, mostrando as modificações no sistema tradicional.

3	Treatment Effect of CT-Guided Periradicular Injections in Context of Different Contrast Agent Distribution Patterns Reuschel, Vera, Scherlach, Cordula, Pfeifle, Christian, Krause, Matthias, Struck, Manuel Florian, Hoffmann, Karl-Titus, Schob, Stefan 13 June 2023 (has links) Acutely manifesting radicular pain syndromes associated with degenerations of the lower spine are frequent ailments with a high rate of recurrence. Part of the conservative management are periradicular infiltrations of analgesics and steroids. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dependence of the clinical efficacy of CT-guided periradicular injections on the pattern of contrast distribution and to identify the best distribution pattern that is associated with the most effective pain relief. Using a prospective study design, 161 patients were included in this study, ensuring ethical standards. Statistical analysis was performed, with the level of statistical significance set at p = 0.05. A total of 37.9% of patients experienced significant but not long-lasting (four weeks on average) complete pain relief. A total of 44.1% of patients experienced prolonged, subjectively satisfying pain relief of more than four weeks to three months. A total of 18% of patients had complete and sustained relief for more than six months. A significant correlation exists between circumferential, large area contrast distribution including the zone of action between the disc and affected nerve root contrast distribution pattern with excellent pain relief. Our results support the value of CT-guided contrast injection for achieving a good efficacy, and, if necessary, indicative repositioning of the needle to ensure a circumferential distribution pattern of corticosteroids for the sufficient treatment of radicular pain in degenerative spine disease. info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/610 ddc:610

5	Gendered Representations of Jazz Vocal Artists: A Critical Discourse Analysis of CD and Performance Reviews, and Interviews Jichova, Miroslava 08 August 2007 (has links) This study of contemporary jazz discourse and gender applies the techniques of critical discourse analysis, inspired by M.A.K. Halliday's systemic functional linguistics and Norman Fairclough's qualitative critical discourse analysis, to explicate the unequal distribution of power in society as represented by the institutions of jazz and mass media, in discourse about jazz vocal artists. Specifically, the study focuses on the way the genres of jazz CD review, jazz performance review, and interviews with jazz artists – disseminated via the institutions JazzTimes and Live New Orleans – represent the artists' identities, roles, achievements and skills. Following Norman Fairclough and the feminist scholar Mary Talbot, the study assumes that institutions of mass media not only discursively construct the gender of jazz vocal artists, but also represent the performers' achievement and skills from a hegemonic standpoint, reflecting the commonsense assumptions about women and men and their roles in patriarchal society. critical discourse analysis qualitative analysis social power unequal distribution of power power in Western society empowerment disempowerment gender gender studies feminist studies jazz studies jazz vocal jazz jazz performance review jazz CD review interview discourse of achievement discourse of competence discourse of incompetence social representation mass media discourse mass media representations mass media institutions jazz vocalists jazz artists media production media distribution media consumption Norman Fairclough M.A.K.
