Abstract:
This study aims at finding the development of new medium of drama in English literary history. From the very first emergence of drama, the plays that have been written were performed in the theater and in many kinds of theater were appears to represent some ideas from the society. As time passing by, these kind of theater had a kind of transformation to be the new medium that we called motion picture. This motion picture began with the silent movie, then it became the talking picture, and it was improved to be the cinema. In its development until today, which we had been known as the movie. This new medium emerged to replace the live theater performance especially in Edwardian era.

Abstract:
This is a topic that receives a lot of interest since many applications of computer vision focus on the detection of objects in visually appealing environments. Information about an object’s appearance and information regarding the object’s motion are both used as crucial signals in the process of identifying and recognising any given item. This information is used to characterise and recognise the item. The identification of objects based solely on their outward appearance has been the subject of a substantial amount of research. However, motion information in the recognition task has received only a marginal amount of attention, despite the fact that motion plays an essential role in the process of recognition. In order to analyze a moving picture in a way that is both fast and accurate, it is required to make use of motion information in conjunction with surface appearance in a strategy that has been designed. Dynamic texture is a kind of visual phenomenon that may be characterised as a type of visual phenomenon that shows spatially repeated features as well as some stationary properties during the course of time by using methodologies that are associated with machine learning. The design of modern VLSI systems takes into consideration a larger chip density, which results in a processor architecture with several cores that are capable of performing a wide range of functions (multicore processor architecture). It is becoming more challenging to run such complicated systems without the use of electric power. In order to increase the effectiveness of power optimization strategies while maintaining system performance for text data extraction, it has been developed and put into practice power optimization strategies that are based on scheduling algorithms. Over the last twenty years, texture analysis has been an increasingly busy and profitable field of study. Today, texture interpretation plays a vital role in various activities ranging from remote sensing to medical picture analysis. The absence of tools to newline analyze the many properties of texture pictures was the primary challenge faced by the texture analysis approach. Texture analysis may be roughly categorised as texture classification, texture segmentation, texture synthesis, and texture synthesis. Texture categorization is useful in numerous applications, such as the retrieval of picture databases, industrial agriculture applications, and biomedical applications. Texture categorization relies on three distinct methods, namely, statistical, spectral, and structural methods. Statistical methods are based on the statistical characteristics of the image’s grey level. Features are collected using second order statistical order, autocorrelation function, and grey level co-occurrence matrix function.

Abstract:
The future of urban transport (including passenger transportation and goods logistics) may develop in significantly different directions. Depending on changes in urban behavior, and depending on decisions made by lawmakers and governmental bodies, as well as by commercial players, this future may show a significantly reduced mobility of people and goods (for example, as depicted in the motion picture The Matrix, where people live immobilized in cocoons) or a significantly increased mobility (for example, as depicted in the motion picture The Fifth Element, where multiple layers of air traffic are added to road and rail traffic). We applied a systems thinking method to create a model for political decision makers and researchers. This model can contribute to a better understanding of the interrelations of societal factors (e.g., behavioral changes in the current COVID-19 situation), technological factors (e.g., the role of data traffic or emerging urban air traffic) and environmental factors (e.g., noise or CO2 emissions) in an urban mobility and logistics system. The research also shows that data traffic has the potential to partially substitute physical passenger and goods traffic under certain circumstances. Thus, data networks should conceptually be regarded as a new mode of transport that plays a role in the urban modal split.

Despite its embedded ambiguity, conventional wisdom tends to prevail over time. This may be because old adages recurrently embrace some ingredients of truth. As James A. Mathisen highlights, conventional wisdom plays a significant role in constituting knowledge as a starting point. For many people, numerous adages (the rich get richer while the poor get poorer; birds of a feather flock together) are most commonly perceived as true. More interestingly, the accuracy of the two folk wisdoms appears to be more salient in culture-producing industries, including the motion picture industry. Concomitantly, the two adages have long been connected to diverse societal phenomena and sociological knowledge.

Abstract:
<p><strong>Imagery plays an important role in literary works, and poetry is no exception. In Goethe's poetry, the romantic era which tries to describe the beauty of nature as the main object is very strong. One of the natural beauties that are trying to be described and famous is autumn in Germany. This natural phenomenon is trying to be described through imagery, so readers need to understand the imagery in poetry to get a clear picture and understand the intent or message in the poem. This study aims to describe the meaning related to imagery and the types of imagery contained in Goethe's poems. The research method used is qualitative with the theory of Pradopo. The results showed that in the process of understanding the images or images contained in poetry, an understanding of the meaning contained in the poem as a whole was needed to get a clear picture. Meanwhile, based on the results of the analysis, found 4 types of imagery in Goethe's autumn-themed poetry, namely visual imagery, auditory imagery, tactile imagery, and motion imagery. The number of each image is 8 visual images, 2 auditory images, 2 tactile images, and 3 motion images.</strong></p><p><strong><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong>–</strong><em>Goethe, Imagery, Poetry</em><em>, Herbsgedichte</em></p>

Abstract:
Shakespeare’s plays were first adapted in the Chinese cinema in the era of silent motion pictures, such as A Woman Lawyer (from The Merchant of Venice, 1927), and A Spray of Plum Blossoms (from The Two Gentlemen of Verona, 1931). The most recent Chinese adaptations/spinoffs include two 2006 films based on Hamlet. After a brief review of Shakespeare’s history in the Chinese cinema, this study compares the two Chinese Hamlets released in 2006—Feng Xiaogang’s Banquet and Hu Xuehua’s Prince of the Himalayas to illustrate how Chinese filmmakers approach Shakespeare. Both re-invent Shakespeare’s Hamlet story and transfer it to a specific time, culture and landscape. The story of The Banquet takes place in a warring state in China of the 10th century while The Prince is set in pre-Buddhist Tibet. The former as a blockbuster movie in China has gained a financial success albeit being criticised for its commercial aesthetics. The latter, on the other hand, has raised attention amongst academics and critics and won several prizes though not as successful on the movie market. This study examines how the two Chinese Hamlet movies treat Shakespeare’s story in using different filmic strategies of story, character, picture, music and style.

Abstract:
Psychopathology can be studied from a scientific or artistic perspective. While there are important differences between the two perspectives, similarities also exist. Recognition of these similarities and differences provides a treatment of psychopathology different than that provided by either perspective alone. The classification by the sciences of psychology and psychiatry and the art-form motion picture genre called film noir is discussed. Film noir was chosen because, like psychology and psychiatry, psychopathology plays a central role, and it is presented in a cohesive and consistent manner. Classification is discussed in the context of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). If film noir is classified according to DSM, it can be seen that film noir presented almost all of the classes of psychopathology and many of the categories, as well as several other important aspects about psychopathology.

Full text
Abstract:
Electron beam dynamics in a helical-wiggler free-electron laser (FEL) with a uniform axial guide magnetic field are studied using a three-dimensional Hamiltonian approach. The basic feature of the analysis is the definition of a rotational variable, [Formula: see text], that plays the primordial role in lowering to the half the dimension of the quadratic Hamiltonian as a system of two uncoupled oscillators with definite frequencies and amplitudes. It is through applying this variable in the vicinity of a fixed point that the Heisenberg picture of the dynamics of the particles comes to light, leading thus to the association of the steady-state ideal helical trajectories with arbitrary trajectories. The approach recognized the usual two constants of motion, one being the total energy while the other is the canonical axial angular momentum, Pz'. If the value of the latter is such that a fixed point exists, the Hamiltonian is expanded about the fixed point up to second order. The so-obtained oscillator characteristic frequencies allowed one to study the different modes of propagation and to identify, and then avoid the problematic operating conditions of the FEL concerned. On the other hand, the amplitudes of the oscillations, which do depend on the frequencies, are fortunately found to be constants of motion and then controlled by the boundary conditions (initial conditions).

Abstract:
Apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter (ASBT) retrieves bile acids from the small intestine and plays a pivotal role in enterohepatic circulation. Currently, high-resolution structures are available for two bacterial ASBT homologs (ASBTNM from Neisseria meningitides and ASBTYf from Yersinia frederiksenii), from which an elevator-style alternating-access mechanism has been proposed for substrate transport. A key concept in this model is that the substrate binds to the central cavity of the transporter so that the elevator-like motion can expose the bound substrate alternatingly to either side of the membrane during a transport cycle. However, no structure of an ASBT has been solved with a substrate bound in its central cavity, so how a substrate binds to ASBT remains to be defined. In this study, molecular docking, structure determination and functional analysis were combined to define and validate the details of substrate binding in ASBTYf. The findings provide coherent evidence to provide a clearer picture of how the substrate binds in the central cavity of ASBTYf that fits the alternating-access model.

Abstract:
The subject of this article is nation branding in the culture market, namely the role cinematography plays in creating a nation brand. Sustainability and sustainable development in the film industry is conditioned by variety in cultural promotion channels. The aim of the authors is to prove that appropriately organised cinematography promotion abroad can positively influence the image of a given country. The first section deals with the relationship between media and sustainable development, as well as with theoretical definitions of branding and the nation brand. Subsequently, cinematography in the context of branding is discussed. The core of this work is a case study of film promotion abroad from the institutional perspective of the Polish Film Institute. The promotional strategy for “Cold War” (2018) directed by Paweł Pawlikowski has been analysed, as this motion picture is considered one of the biggest successes of post-1989 Polish cinematography. Factors positively influencing its popularity were analysed alongside their influence on the general perception of Polish cinema abroad. Based on the results of empirical studies, the authors present their discussion of the functional state and the role of Polish cinematography on the global circuit, as well as attempt to verify its importance in relation to sustainability.

Abstract:
Over the past decade, cinema studies scholars have begun to recognize the value of mythographical methodologies for motion picture analysis; however, most of the scholarly research in this field has focused either on mythic archetypal images or on monomythic narrative structure, rather than combining the two approaches into a unified theory. This essay addresses the problem by proposing a mythographical methodology of motion picture analysis based on Carl Jung's theory of archetypal images and Joseph Campbell's theories concerning the monomythic structure of heroic narratives. Combining the two approaches of myth interpretation results in a more comprehensive methodology for interpreting the mythic elements of motion pictures. This essay illustrates the application of this methodology through a detailed analysis of Terry Gilliam's film, The Fisher King.

Abstract:
This PhD consists of three screenplays adapted from my novels and an exegesis which explores the involvement and influences producers have had on the eventual screenplay outcomes. In developing a first draft of original screenplays writers often work alone and without critical feedback, development assistance or encouragement from third parties. The writing process can continue in this way for some time, through many drafts, until the writer either abandons the project or finds some development assistance either from government film support agencies, producers, or both. At that stage, the writer enters a new creative process which involves collaboration, negotiation, and a series of artistic and institutional expectations which will no longer be theirs alone. In the situation where a producer options an existing creative work, such as a novel, and commences an adaptation project, this scriptwriting collaborative process will start much earlier. This is usually the case when a producer options a novel and employs a scriptwriter to create a film version of that story. The scriptwriter must attempt to meet the aesthetic requirements of the material at hand, yet also meet the film expectations that exist in the producer's mind - who, in his or her imagination, will already have cast, filmed and screened the film adaptation on a mental canvas. Where the screenplay adaptor is also the creator of the original material, a series of questions are raised which affect the rights of the original writer to maintain some control over their material balanced against the rights of the producer (the material's new "proprietor") to tell the story in whichever way he or she thinks is best. This exploration is balanced by studying practitioner accounts of the novel to film adaptation process, and by considering the critical literature on the subject. The exegesis argues that when a producer takes ownership of a novel's screen rights, he or she can have a marked affect on the screenplay adaptation process. The reinterpretation of that material for the screen can be more closely aligned to the producer-proprietor's expectations than those of the original creator or the screenwriter employed to write the novel to film adaptation.

Abstract:
AbstractThe 26S proteasome is the most complex ATP-dependent protease machinery, of ~2.5 MDa mass, ubiquitously found in all eukaryotes. It selectively degrades ubiquitin-conjugated proteins and plays fundamentally indispensable roles in regulating almost all major aspects of cellular activities. To serve as the sole terminal “processor” for myriad ubiquitylation pathways, the proteasome evolved exceptional adaptability in dynamically organizing a large network of proteins, including ubiquitin receptors, shuttle factors, deubiquitinases, AAA-ATPase unfoldases, and ubiquitin ligases, to enable substrate selectivity and processing efficiency and to achieve regulation precision of a vast diversity of substrates. The inner working of the 26S proteasome is among the most sophisticated, enigmatic mechanisms of enzyme machinery in eukaryotic cells. Recent breakthroughs in three-dimensional atomic-level visualization of the 26S proteasome dynamics during polyubiquitylated substrate degradation elucidated an extensively detailed picture of its functional mechanisms, owing to progressive methodological advances associated with cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Multiple sites of ubiquitin binding in the proteasome revealed a canonical mode of ubiquitin-dependent substrate engagement. The proteasome conformation in the act of substrate deubiquitylation provided insights into how the deubiquitylating activity of RPN11 is enhanced in the holoenzyme and is coupled to substrate translocation. Intriguingly, three principal modes of coordinated ATP hydrolysis in the heterohexameric AAA-ATPase motor were discovered to regulate intermediate functional steps of the proteasome, including ubiquitin-substrate engagement, deubiquitylation, initiation of substrate translocation and processive substrate degradation. The atomic dissection of the innermost working of the 26S proteasome opens up a new era in our understanding of the ubiquitin-proteasome system and has far-reaching implications in health and disease.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter presents an account of the confrontation between British actor Laurence Olivier and American producer David O. Selznick over what were effectively rights of property in films of Shakespeare plays. In April 1946, Selznick registered the titles of seven Shakespeare plays, including Hamlet, with the Title Registration Bureau of the Motion Picture Association of America. Following his refusal to allow Vivien Leigh to take the part of Katherine in Henry V, Selznick used this registration to try to frustrate Olivier’s plans for his celebrated production of Hamlet. The chapter discusses the importance of Shakespearean films in the internationalist milieu of the post-war American film industry, and tracks Selznick’s deployment of title registration as a form of industrial espionage into the anti-communist backlash of HUAC and the post-Marshall Plan stand-off between the British and American film industries in 1947–8.

Abstract The essential narrative and the principal fictional characters of The Birth of a Nation were originally created by Thomas Dixon Jr. Any attempt to understand the genesis of the film, therefore, must start with Dixon. Successively lawyer, politician, minister, lecturer, novelist, dramatist, actor, theatrical and motion picture producer, and real estate entrepreneur, he was a man of tremendous energy, considerable versatility, and enormous ambition. Almost forgotten nowadays, he was a significant figure in early twentieth-century American culture. He was a highly successful minister and popular lecturer. His novels, frequently addressing racial issues, enjoyed huge sales. He also wrote a number of plays that attracted large, enthusiastic audiences. The popularity of Dixon’s novels and plays, indeed, suggests that the issues he addressed struck a responsive chord among many Americans of his time.

‘Before Hollywood’ describes how early film technology and storytelling methods developed out of older media. It begins with Thomas Edison’s Vitascope and the first dedicated movie theaters—nickelodeons—which began to appear around 1903. Around 1908–9, filmmaking and the film industry underwent a number of changes: established film companies started to court a middle-class audience in order to expand the industry’s reach; production companies made films based on novels and Broadway plays; and stories began to be told in new ways. The creation of the trust, Motion Picture Patents Company, in 1908 and the rise of independents saw a restructuring of the American film industry.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter explores the principles of the Lagrangian approach to solute transport, with an emphasis on the dispersive action of the spatial variability of the velocity field. We start by developing the tools for characterizing the displacement of a single, small solute particle that will subsequently be used for characterization of the concentration’s variability and uncertainty, and we continue with a discussion of the stochastic description of solute travel times and fluxes. The principles presented in this chapter will be employed in chapter 10 to derive tools for applications such as macrodispersion coefficients, solute travel time moments, the moments of the solute fluxes and breakthrough curves, and transport of reactive solutes. As has been observed in many field studies and numerical simulations, the motion of solute bodies in geological media is complex, making the geometry of the solute bodies hard to predict. Furthermore, the concentration varies erratically, sometimes by orders of magnitude, over very short distances. The variability of the velocity field plays a significant role in shaping this complex geometry, and makes it impossible to characterize the concentration field deterministically. The alternatives we will pursue include characterizing the concentration through its moments such as the expected value and variance, and other descriptors of transport such as solute fluxes and travel times. This line was pursued in chapter 8 using the Eulerian framework. In this chapter we pursue this line from the Lagrangian perspective. Applications of these concepts are presented in chapter 10. Let us consider the displacement of a marked solute particle over time.

Typically two-reel action-packed films that ran for ten, fifteen, or more installments, serials often ended with a cliffhanger and a promise “to be continued next week.” Episodically structured and suspensefully plotted, they not only served as the precursors of the popular installment dramas and crime procedurals that have become staples of modern network and cable television programming; they also anticipated the extended incremental storytelling methods and “thrilling episodes of inescapable fatality and hair-breath escapes” that later filmmakers would exploit in commercial blockbusters such as the Star Wars series and the Indiana Jones and Marvel movie franchises. Moreover, serials helped to forge a strong link between the print and the film industries. The chapter then traces the evolution of the serial form, looking at an early twelve-part Edison production, What Happened to Mary, whose first installment was released on July 26, 1912. It also describes the serial The Perils of Pauline (released beginning March 23, 1914), which not only heightened interest in the genre; it also immortalized its star, Pearl White, and became the most famous of all the early chapter plays. However, it was the pioneering serials produced by filmmakers Ted and Leo Wharton that would have the most profound and sustained impact on the genre.

Abstract:
Abstract West’s initial experiences with television left her dissatisfied. “I’m not too crazy about the TV scene because it places too many restrictions on my type of material,” she wrote. “I don’t like being censored, I don’t think I deserve it.” She had invitations to return to motion pictures, but her insistence on complete control shut down those possibilities. After being idle for almost a year, in the spring of 1961, West prepared for another comeback in the theater. While she was no longer a motion picture star, she could still play one onstage. She dug out Sextette and reworked it for a national summer tour.

Abstract:
Abstract LATE medieval Bruges is known to us through the stillness of pictures. Motion and sound are contained in them, but in a frozen form: reduced to an infinitely small fraction of time. Given time, the pictures would start to move, and the music would be heard. In the Ghent panels by Hubert and Jan van Eyck, an angel is seen playing the organ: she is about to press the keys F, c and a.— The time lapse between her action and the perception of the chord is extended to eternity. Next to the organ-player another angel, holding a harp, counts the time with her fingers on the shoulder of the partner in front of her, who holds a viol and is ready to play, but is resting. In the opposite wing of the picture, eight angels are singing mensural polyphony. Musical measure determines the precise moment in time in which the whole picture is set.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the use of complex characterisation in sexploitation cinema – arguing that the character motivation and narrative causality is often more conservative than many might assume. A comparison is also made to the concurrent evolution of the sexual dynamics that begin to creep into Hollywood cinema via such notable motion pictures as ‘Last Tango in Paris’. This chapter argues that often the ‘underground’ sex films of the period featured more interesting and radical female portrayals.

Abstract:
This paper studies the effective parameters of a skilled service in playing tennis and determines their relationship with skill deals. Effective service in tennis plays an important role in gaining more desirable result and the most important factor of success in getting scores depends on the player’s skills in serving an effective service. The characteristics of a good service are the high speed of the ball and the precision of landing the ball. The several parameters affecting on these two characteristic in the service, are studied in this paper. Therefore, the Kinematic parameters of 8 Iranian professional tennis athletes of first division tennis league and also 8 non-professional Iranian athletes who exercise about 3 sessions a week were extracted. After land marking these athletes, by use of two high-frequency cameras, pictures were recorded when the tennis players were serving the services. The investigation on the results of these tests is performed by three dimensional motion analyses. The pictures are analyzed with the WinAnalyze software. Therefore, in this paper, the most important effective parameters in serving a successful service are detected.

Abstract:
This paper describes a possible adaptive approach to redevelopment planning in Guangzhou’s urban villages that taps into the material processes of an existing metabolism. Rather than attempting to control an entire plan, this approach sets in motion a continuous swarm of random walks within a multiagent simulation, each agent analysing partial fragments of the urban fabric as they move. The various analyses of the agents are aggregated and form a fuzzy picture of the current situation from which small, punctual interventions (new pedestrian passageways, small public spaces, etc.) can be proposed. Such proposals are paired with reconstruction methods already occurring throughout the village in order not to disrupt the unique character of the urban fabric and to allow the model to engage with the ongoing sociomaterial practices within the village. Prominent among these is a cycle of recycling material from demolished buildings into new structures. This approach differs from existing strategies that cannot incorporate informal practices and rely on representational tropes or importation of entirely new plans based on a complete demolition.

Abstract:
A compressed air sprayer was used to spray model paint onto two glass substrates at the same time. Afterwards, one glass substrate was placed on a LED light source and still photographs were taken from the top using a DSLR camera with a timer system. The other substrate was put on a balance to record weight. Pictures and weight measurements were taken at 5 second intervals for 15 minutes. The sprayed film thickness was varied. The pictures were analyzed using ImageJ software. Bubble Count vs. Time, Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) of Bubbles vs. Time as well as Weight vs. Time was plotted. It was seen that the pace of weight loss was faster for thinner films. The rate of bubble escape also depended on film thickness. It took a longer time for thicker films to lose the bubbles entrapped in them. In the first 30 seconds, large bubbles escaped due to buoyancy forces and afterwards surface-tension driven flows became dominant. There was also a lot of bubble movement in thicker films. The effect of gravity was studied as well. Gravity did not affect the bubble escape rate since a downward facing film had the same bubble count as an upward facing film confirming that bubble motion was not due to buoyancy forces alone. However, the SMD of bubbles in a downward facing film was larger than an upward facing film. Buoyancy is not a factor in bubble escape from the downward facing film and only surface-tension driven flows play a role.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to present accurate, objective information about the kinematic characteristics of three of the punches used in striking combat sports: cross, swing and uppercut. The use of MOVEN equipment and a computational methodology that have been presented in other studies have made it possible to present a highly accurate analysis. The kinematic parameters chosen for the comparative analysis of these striking techniques are the fist's speed, the minimum fist's acceleration value (recorded after impact as a measure of the impact force), the length of the fist's trajectory and the distance measured from the point where the arm movement begins to the point where the target impact occurs. The subject of the study is a multi-national champion in the 81 kg weight category in full-contact, low-kick and light-kick styles and the data acquisitions were made within the Ciprian Sora Sports Club in Bucharest. The subject executed 10 cross punches, 10 swings and 10 uppercuts in a 40- kg box bag, having MOVEN equipment mounted on it. After calculating the parameters of each stroke we calculated the average values for each type of stroke and compared the variance of these averages over time, referring to the maximum and minimum values for each parameter taken into account. We also have a series of graphical representations to create a clearer picture of the differences we want to highlight. The usefulness of this approach is more than simply informative, such a method of analysis can be useful in drawing up the tactical plans of the fighters and especially in the formation and optimization of the patterns of motion used for each technique and much more, for as many combinations as possible.
