The Interaction of Production and Consumption in the News Media Social Space
December 13, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract” lang=”en”Newspapers are operating in increasingly competitive and fragmented markets for audiences and advertising revenues, government
media policy and changing audience requirements for news and the ways in which it is presented and delivered. A growing army
of bloggers and amateur citizen journalists now delivers – but rarely edits – content for all media platforms, while new media
technologies, combined with the changing structure of global news industries, are radically changing the ways in which newspapers
and media business functions and struggles for profitability. Our research sought to answer the question of how the internet
is impacting on producer/consumer value activities in the news media supply chain. To answer this question initial descriptive
statistical analysis was performed on 51 newspapers. This was followed by a focus group undertaken with London-based news
media organizations and bloggers. The findings showed that in spite of initial fear and rejection, the internet is now firmly
embedded in news media supply chain operations. Firms are now using the internet as an operant resource and working proactively
with consumers to develop various forms of relationship value. We highlight the role of consumers in the creation of news
(editorial) content and consumer-driven moves toward a merged media platform of distribution (including television, online,
mobile and printed forms). Regional news media organizations will probably continue to survive if they are able to supply
a highly specialized and ‘hyper local’ community service. This will be in the form of ‘hybrid’ content: analysis, interpretation
and investigative reporting in a print product that appears less than daily combined with constant updating and reader interaction
on the web.

A Novel Design of a Reconfigurable Automated Warehouse
December 12, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract” lang=”en”This paper presents a conceptual design for a new generation of automated warehouses, which are made from a series of simple
modules with their inherent feature of scalability and reonfigurability. A potential application example of this type of warehousing
system is modelled to indicate the level of capability that the concept may provide. Physical infrastructure and operational
control events within the system are illustrated in the paper. The simulation results demonstrate that the warehouse can simultaneously
deliver large numbers of items from storage modules to assigned collection points with minimal delay. This can be achieved
by deploying an integrated warehouse control and management mechanism using automatic identification and data capture techniques
and wireless communication networks. A framework on application of these emerging technologies in order to deliver the desired
coordinated functionality of such a warehousing system is also discussed in the paper.

Nonhomologous DNA End Joining (NHEJ) and Chromosomal Translocations in Humans
December 11, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”Double-strand breaks (DSBs) arise in dividing cells about ten times per cell per day. Causes include replication across a
nick, free radicals of oxidative metabolism, ionizing radiation, and inadvertent action by enzymes of DNA metabolism (such
as failures of type II topoisomerases or cleavage by recombinases at off-target sites). There are two major double-strand
break repair pathways. Homologous recombination (HR) can repair double-strand breaks, but only during S phase and typically
only if there are hundreds of base pairs of homology. The more commonly used pathway is nonhomologous DNA end joining, abbreviated
NHEJ. NHEJ can repair a DSB at any time during the cell cycle and does not require any homology, although a few nucleotides
of terminal microhomology are often utilized by the NHEJ enzymes, if present. The proteins and enzymes of NHEJ include Ku,
DNA-PKcs, Artemis, DNA polymerase μ (Pol μ), DNA polymerase iλ/i (Pol iλ/i), XLF (also called Cernunnos), XRCC4, and DNA ligase IV. These enzymes constitute what some call the classical NHEJ pathway,
and in wild type cells, the vast majority of joining events appear to proceed using these components. NHEJ is present in many
prokaryotes, as well as all eukaryotes, and very similar mechanistic flexibility evolved both convergently and divergently.
When two double-strand breaks occur on different chromosomes, then the rejoining is almost always done by NHEJ. The causes
of DSBs in lymphomas most often involve the RAG or AID enzymes that function in the specialized processes of antigen receptor
gene rearrangement.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal: an important medicinal plant
December 11, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”a name=”Abs1″/aspan class=”AbstractHeading”Abstractnbsp;nbsp;/spanThis report describes iAgrobacterium tumefaciens/i-mediated transformation of iWithania somnifera/i—an important Indian medicinal plant. iA. tumefaciens/i strain LBA4404, containing the binary vector pIG121Hm was used for transformation, along with the igusA/i reporter gene with intron under the transcriptional control of the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (CaMV) 35S promoter. The leaf
segments from two-and-a-half-month-old green house-grown seedlings were more efficient in transformation, as compared to those
from the in vitroi-/igrown shoots. Second expanded leaf from the shoot tip gave the highest transient transformation efficiency. Selection of transgenic
shoots was done in the presence of 50nbsp;mgnbsp;lsup−1/sup kanamycin. Polymerase chain reaction analysis of Tsub0/sub transgenic plants showed the presence of igusA/i and inptII/i genes. The expression of these transgenes in Tsub1/sub progeny was confirmed by RT-PCR. The integration of igusA/i gene was confirmed by Southern blot analysis. The transformation efficiency was found to be 1.67%.

The Imaged Object and the Atmosphere
December 11, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”The object that has to be surveyed is generally illuminated by the sun (Fig. 3.1-1). In order to determine the impact of atmospheric
effects on spectral radiance in front of the sensor, the spectral radiation at the top of the atmosphere has to be known.
The data set can be found in various tables, for instance Neckel and Labs (1984) and is visualised by curve A (extraterrestrial
irradiance) in Fig. 3.1-2. During travel through the atmosphere to the Earth’s surface, solar radiation suffers weakening
due to scattering and absorption. Scattering by the air molecules, also called Rayleigh
scattering, depends strongly on wavelength: it is, approximately, inversely proportional to the fourth power of the wavelength
of radiation.

A trajectory-aware handoff algorithm based on GPS information
December 10, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”a name=”Abs1″/aspan class=”AbstractHeading”Abstractnbsp;nbsp;/spanIn this paper, we propose a trajectory-aware handoff algorithm based on position, velocity, signaling delay, and receive signal
strength (RSS) of mobile terminal (MT). In order to provide seamless service in modern heterogeneous networks, handoff of
the MT should be initiated with correct timing. In our algorithm, velocity of MT is divided into two parts as radial velocity
and tangential velocity. For more precise handoff initiation, tangential velocity of MT is neglected, and only radial velocity
of MT is considered in handoff decision making. Moreover, before handoff decision, least square line method is applied to
RSS of MT to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth handoffs (ping-pong handoffs) between different services. A simulation is provided
to compare the proposed algorithm with other various handoff methods, and the results prove this algorithm to have outperformed
others.

Elimination des constantes arbitraires dans la theorie relativiste des quanta [85]
December 9, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”a name=”Abs1″/aspan class=”AbstractHeading”Summary/spanThis article shows how the influence of the undetermined constants in the integral theory of collisionssup1/sup)sup2/sup)sup3/sup)sup4/sup) can be avoided. A rule is given by which the probability amplitudes (5[F]-matrix) may be calculated in terms of a given ilocal action/i. The procedure of the integral method differs essentially from the differential method employed by Tomonagasup6/sup), Schwikgersup5/sup), FÅÕímaí7) and Dysonsup8/sup) in that the two sorts of diverging terms occuring in the formal solution of a Schroedinqer equation are avoided. These two divergencies are: 1) the well known «.self energy» divergencies which have been since corrected by methods of regularization (Rivikrsup1/sup), Pattli and Villakssup9/sup)); 2) the more serious iboundary divergencies/i (Stueckelbergsup4/sup)) due to the sharp spatio-temporal limitation of the space-time region of evolution iV/i in which the collisions occur. The convergent parts (anomalous ig/i-factor of the electron and the Lamb-Rethekford shift) obtained by Schwinger are, in the present theory, the boundary independent amplitudes in fourth approximation. Üp to this approximation the rule eliminates the arbitrary constants from all conservative processes./div/pul
