Abstract:
Illegal consumer file sharing of motion pictures is considered a major threat to the movie industry. Whereas industry advocates and some scholars postulate a cannibalistic effect on commercial forms of movie consumption, other researchers deny this effect, though sound evidence is lacking on both sides. Drawing on extant research and utility theory, the authors present hypotheses on the consequences and determinants of consumer file sharing and test them with data from a controlled longitudinal panel study of German consumers. The data contain information on the consumers' intentions toward and actual behavior in relation to the consumption of 25 new motion pictures, allowing the authors to study more than 10,000 individual file-sharing opportunities. The authors test the effect of file sharing on commercial movie consumption using a series of ReLogit regression analyses and apply partial least squares structural equation modeling to identify the determinants of consumer file sharing. They find evidence of substantial cannibalization of theater visits, DVD rentals, and DVD purchases responsible for annual revenue losses of $300 million in Germany. Five categories of file-sharing behavior drive file sharing and have a significant impact on how consumers obtain and watch illegal movie copies.

Abstract:
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of design education, it has a very broad spectrum ranging from motion picture to informative design methods. Animation techniques are also one of the important parts of this wide variety of work. Today, almost every institution is involved in animation techniques in design education. Animation with various application methods is the field where the most creative examples of motion pictures are revealed. The purpose of this research is to discuss the place of flip book animation in design education and to investigate its contributions to design education, which is one of the creative animation techniques.It is considerably significant that students experience how the form of motion pictures is created through one of the methods at a beginning level and understand the nature of motion picture in design education process. Flip book animation, is a method by which students will be able to grasp the logic of creating motion pictures using static drawing or photography. Flip book animation is one of the first animation techniques to be achieved by combining successive still images processed with different surfaces. It may be considered as an old and outdated motion pictures technique for that reason, yet there are still flip book festivals and it is used as an effective method in teaching animation process.

Abstract:
The development of motion pictures coincided with the development of active publicity campaigns by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. It did not take the CPR long to realize the potential of the new medium and capitalize on the public's fascination with train and motion. In order to encoutage immigration and settlement to western Canada, the company developed an extensive system of promotion which included the use of films. CPR filmmaking fell broadly into two categories, those which were designed with a specific intent to educate, inform and persuade and those which were primarily intended as entertainment. If CPR did not define the type of filmmaking rathet it facilitated the production of contemporary appeal.

Abstract:
The use of film and video in sociological research, or social sciences in general, has a long and well-established tradition. Motion pictures have, on the one hand, been the object of analysis, as in the case of sociology of film, and, on the other, they have been used as a research tool. Moreover, films can be scientific statements in their own right, as is the case with sociological film. The use of visual methods based on both still and moving pictures works very well for exploring the physical and social space of the city. The article looks at ways of using films and the actual process of obtaining film data in sociological research. Works featuring urban themes will be considered as special cases to illustrate the author’s reflections. It is noteworthy that early cinema already showed urban space, as exemplified in the films by the Lumière brothers who, incidentally, treated their motion pictures primarily as a scientific tool. City-related topics appear in research by film sociologists who analysed films featuring urban themes, among other things. Later, sociologists themselves began to use cameras in their studies and teaching. One way of using a camera for these purposes is simply to record observations of certain places and people’s behaviour. These video recordings are subsequently analysed, applying various methods developed in the field of sociology and other sciences. Another technique, well-suited for exploring urban space, is a mobile camera, used for example for video tours, as introduced by Sarah Pink. And, finally, sociological film focusing on the city plays a vital role in social research.

Abstract:
An optional spatial 3D material solid reality picture may be showed on a 2D showing plane, its surface is commonly consisted of too many sub-surfaces of the 3D solid reality picture in both dispersal and continuation. It was a difficult problem to express all exact visibilities of solids sub-surfaces; because of some numerals computational error properties of visibilities are always unknown. So far, we cannot choose but select a proper dispersal degree of materials sub-surfaces, an approaching function of an optional material sub-surfaces B-Rep (Bound Representation), and numerals computation without any perturbation motion, etc. A novel numeral computational method of expressing exact visibilities of 3D spatial materials solids reality pictures with intelligent properties of VCR is given in this paper.

Full text
Abstract:
More certified-Canadian feature films were shot in Canada in 1979 than in any other year. The height of what has become known as the "tax-shelter boom," 1979 stands as a remarkable moment in the history of the Canadian cinema, with 70 features shot in a year in which Hollywood produced only 99 films. The extant history of the Canadian cinema has largely ignored this moment, and in this thesis I argue that the slim treatment of the period by critics represents a "received wisdom," consistently repeated, but seldom scrutinized, and that this received wisdom is representative of the culturally nationalist impulse which has coloured the entire historiography of the Canadian cinema. Because many of the films produced during the boom were in the style of Hollywood genres, the "received wisdom" presents the entirety of the tax-shelter boom as a cultural and industrial near-disaster for the Canadian cinema, and this thesis, partly a revisionist history, explores not only those conclusions, but also provides critical discussion of them.
I begin by presenting the received wisdom, the existing account, on the period. This is followed by a chapter which situates the tax-shelter boom in a history of state intervention in the feature film industry. Following this, I provide analysis of the contexts surrounding the tax-shelter boom, including critical discussion of articles and reviews from the contemporaneous popular press, and of the industry discourse. I then turn my attention to the texts themselves, which the received wisdom more or less ignores, and provide three thematically-organized chapters of textual analysis: the first organized around readings of gender and genre in the films, the second on the prevalent theme of "selling out," which is central to numerous films of the period, and a third chapter which explores the place of Quebec in the films of the period.
The thesis concludes with an analysis of the material effects of the government policies which led to the boom, and concludes that in this respect too, the received account of the period---once again, as a failure---needs to be reexamined.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation represents the first major examination of the depiction of the working class in the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) films between 1939 and 1946. It is also the first to focus on studying class as it relates to Canadian cinema. In search of the formative roots of the Board's early discourse on labour and the working class, we first look at the historical development of early Canadian cinematic culture, Canadian working class political and cultural discourse and the NFB's own political and working dynamics. We then examine the films and point out connections between their discourse and the views forwarded at the time by supporters of the Popular Front. The survey of the films is contextualized within three phases marking the rise, the solidification and the eventual descendance of this discourse.
By the late 1930s, the policies of the Communist Party based Popular Front had already assumed a prominent position within Canadian working class politics. This thesis argues that, during a short period after its establishment, the NFB produced a body of film which introduced a new cinematic discourse on the role and the politics of labour and the working class. It concludes that this discourse was closely affected by the developments that influenced the rise and the decline of the counter-hegemonic movement that was instigated by the Popular Front.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between the National Film Board and its audiences, with particular attention to the ways in which the NFB has tried to respond to the needs of Canadians for media representations of themselves, through the Challenge for Change program (1967-1978) and Studio D (1974-). The focus of this work will be on the progressive aspects of NFB productions, which have frequently taken controversial stands against official government policy.
In the process, the place of the NFB within a politics of representation will be discussed, and its critical contribution to the constitution of a Canadian "national identity" will be examined. Finally, this study is part of an attempt to investigate characteristics of Canadian society, with respect both to the functioning of government and to the democratic use of film as a medium enabling culturally marginalized people to find their own voices.

Abstract:
This comparative study is an investigation into the changing concerns of feature film policy in Canada and Australia from 1968 to 1998. Its purpose is to determine how similar policy initiatives have produced divergent results in two economically, culturally and socially similar nations. The inquiry's aim is to establish what financial, political and geographic variables affect the application of feature film policy. While resemblances between these nations justify the contrasting of comparable feature film policy initiatives, differences in outcomes suggest that these nations are not entirely alike. Therefore, rather than following the leads of comparable national agencies, film policy makers in Canada and Australia need to concentrate on conditions specific to their own particular situation.

Full text
Abstract:
The Western settlement era is only one part of United States national history, but for many Americans it remains the most significant cultural influence. Conversely, the settlement of Canada's western territory is generally treated as a significant phase of national development, but not the defining phase. Because both nations view the frontier experience differently, they also have distinct perceptions of the role violence played in the settlement process, distinctions reflected in the historical record, literature, and films of each country. This study will look at the historical evidence and works of the imagination for both the American and Canadian frontier experience, focusing on the years between 1870 and 1930, and will examine the part that violence played in the development of each national character. The discussion will also illustrate the difference between the historical reality and the mythic version portrayed in popular literature and films by demonstrating the effects of the depiction of violence on the perception of American and Canadian history.

Full text
Abstract:
International film co-productions are sometimes thought of by the Americans as a form of financing providing the U.S. with the ability to sell works to its most important export market, Europe. Europe prefers thinking of it as way to provide its market with works that reflect European culture and ideals. This thesis questions the reality of such a statement, using the examples of the EU, the U.S. and Canada.
The author first explains the mechanism of co-production within the framework of a presentation of the methods of film financing. Follows a twofold discussion on the current nature of international co-productions, on both the international and national levels.
A considerable portion of this work examines the terms of the debate about the interplay between culture and trade. As an instrument used in the audiovisual industry, therefore strongly connected to cultural industries, international co-production is indeed an ideal model to represent the tensions existing between culture and global trade. This thesis sets international co-production up as a symbol of the interface between culture and trade.
Follows a debate on the congruity of the existing global and regional trade agreements for the protection of a culture always weaker in its diversity and propagation. With the prospect of the imminent phasing out of the sectoral exemptions allowed by the GATS, the inadequacy of the NAFTA cultural exemption and current quota policy systems, what would be best to calm down the tensions between culture and trade? Three solutions are discussed here: the New International Instrument on Cultural Diversity; a powerful competitor to the American majors such as Vivendi-Universal, and the technique of co-ventures.

AbstractThe origins and evolution of instructional technology and instructional design are treated in this chapter as separate concepts, although having intertwined histories. As with other technologies, their origins can be traced to the scientific discoveries on which they are based. Early in the twentieth century, new discoveries in optics and electricity stimulated educators to the adoption of technological innovations such as projected still pictures, motion pictures, and audio recording. Individuals and, later, groups of affiliated professionals promoted enriching learning by adding visual and, later, audiovisual resources where verbal presentations previously dominated. As radio broadcasting grew in the 1930s and then television in the 1950s, these mass media were perceived as ways to reach audiences, in and out of school, with educative audiovisual programs. In the 1960s, the wave of interest in teaching machines incorporating behaviorist psychological technology engendered a shift in identity from audiovisual technologies to all technologies, including psychological ones. As computers became ubiquitous in the 1990s, they became the dominant delivery system, due to their interactive capabilities. With the global spread of the World Wide Web after 1995, networked computers took on communication functions as well as storage and processing functions, giving new momentum to distance education. Meanwhile, research during and after World War II prompted a technology of planning – systems analysis. In the 1960s, educators adapted the systems approach to instructional planning, starting the development of instructional systems design (ISD). Since the 1980s, ISD has been the reigning paradigm for instructional design, while instructional design has become the central activity of instructional technology professionals.

Abstract:
As computing becomes ubiquitous in our modern society, automated recognition of human activities emerges as a crucial topic where it can be applied to many real-life human-centric scenarios such as smart automated surveillance, human computer interaction and automated refereeing. Although the perception of activities is spontaneous for the human visual system, it has proven to be extraordinarily difficult to duplicate this capability into computer vision systems for automated understanding of human behavior. Motion pictures provide even richer and reliable information for the perception of the different biological, social and psychological characteristics of the person such as emotions, actions and personality traits of the subject. In spite of the fact that there is a considerable body of work devoted to human action recognition, most of the methods are evaluated on datasets recorded in simplified settings. More recent research has shifted focus to natural activity recognition in unconstrained scenes with more complex settings.

Although the perception of activities is spontaneous for the human visual system, it has proven to be extraordinarily difficult to duplicate this capability into computer vision systems for automated understanding of human behavior. Motion pictures provide even richer and reliable information for the perception of the different biological, social and psychological characteristics of the person such as emotions, actions and personality traits of the subject. In spite of the fact that there is a considerable body of work devoted to human action recognition, most of the methods are evaluated on datasets recorded in simplified settings. More recent research has shifted focus to natural activity recognition in unconstrained scenes with more complex settings.

Defines a mediascape that includes the mass media of newspapers, radio, television and the Internet; audio-visual technologies such as photography, motion pictures, and the telephone; as well as expressive forms such as oratory and public pageantry which do not depend on technology. It sketches the historical backdrop of industrialization for the political campaigns and media formations of the 1890s: the telegraph, railroad and mass circulation newspapers of the 1830s and 1840s, and the emergence of a new wave of communication and transportation technologies in the 1890s. Finally it considers the evolving state of historical research and writing on film and media facilitated by new digital technologies that enable random word searches of huge amounts of new data.

Abstract:
Although a twenty-first-century bump in high-profile musical television programming like Glee and The Sound of Music Live! brought television’s relationship to the musical back into the popular cultural consciousness, the Hollywood and Broadway musical had always been part of the American television landscape. This chapter sets up this relationship and creates a road map for the seven-chapter exploration of the small screen’s romance with a foundational American art form. It further contextualizes the work within a broader view of popular music, early forms of musical platform convergence (e.g. Broadway with sheet music sales, radio, and motion pictures), existing scholarship, and the challenges of conducting such a historical study when copies of the primary focus of the research—the programming itself—no longer exist or never existed in re-viewable form.

Abstract:
Starting in the early 1970s, many documentaries began addressing the shifting cultural climate surrounding the issue of abortion in the United States. While some consideration has been given to how abortion has been represented on television and in motion pictures, scant attention has been paid to how the documentary genre has forged the public space for this controversial issue. This chapter briefly maps and assesses how feminists have documented and utilized the documentary genre to recover women’s history and reclaim public space for reproductive justice and the failures to accomplish these aims as access to reproductive care continues to erode. The chapter tracks how women, engaged in feminist struggle, create documentary commons specific to the collision between lived experience and social expectations. The chapter focuses particularly on a moment in 2005 when Third Wave feminist and activist filmmakers attempted to engage abortion politics through the documentary confessional mode. Tracking the move from public confession to representations of an escalating and violent antichoice movement brings the struggle into sharper focus. Analysis of these documentaries and their parallel activist interventions includes interviews with three directors, archival material, and ethnographic research.

Abstract:
Chapter 2 chronicles the St. Helena study sponsored by University of North Carolina’s Institute for Research in the Social Sciences (IRSS) and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) a year before the 1929 stock market crash. The St. Helena study was a comprehensive social scientific study that examined the Black yeoman farming families off the Carolina Coast. IRSS’s newly minted professor, Guy Benton Johnson, added to the field study by examining what he called the “folk” spirituals and beliefs of the families. Rejecting the African survivals thesis (à la J. G. Ballanta) and race traits (à la Howard Odum), Johnson instead argued that the Sea Island spirituals of the Black landowners were derived from white populations, dating back to the Protestant revivals and camp-meetings, particularly during the antebellum period. Johnson used the folk category to show how the Sea Island spirituals and broader revival Protestantism were products of their cultural and regional isolation from the modern worlds of transportation, radio, print culture, and motion pictures. His use of the folk was a part of the IRSS’s call for “social planning” to regionally develop the agricultural South, which included Black farmers, whom they considered invaluable to the region’s economic development. Examining the “Chapel Hill” group, “folk,” as used by Johnson, recycled racial hierarchy while seeking to privilege class and rural environment in the study of Black small landowners.

Abstract:
Vannevar Bush envisioned a machine that would assist humanity in the creative work of writing. Doug Engelbart imagined the collaborative sharing and enhancement of knowledge. Digital media today—text, drawings, photos, audio, and video—surpass the visions of their pioneers. These media may be copied, shared, and modified in ways that challenge the legal system, because unrestricted content sharing without suitable payment to creators runs counter to intellectual property (IP) traditions and laws. Writers, musicians, artists, and inventors have long relied upon IP protection to enable them to control the use of their creations and inventions. Copyright infringement, that is, copying in violation of copyright, threatens the income that they could receive from their creations. The concept of fair use is a critical issue in such discussions, as it allows certain exceptions to copyright. One area that has received a great deal of attention is the digital copying and sharing of music; we shall examine the interplay between conventional behaviour, ethics, technical interventions to limit or block copying, laws and legal battles, and product and pricing innovation. Next, we shall look at similar issues in the domain of motion pictures. There are effective and legal streaming services, yet there are still concerns about copyright infringement. Copyright holders now automatically produce takedown notices to insist that websites remove illegally or improperly sourced material. Such notices include many errors, causing additional complications for video creators. One interesting challenge to the concept and laws of copyright occurs in the creation of mash-ups. Artists use fragments from existing musical or visual performances as well as their own material to create audio-visual works that combine multiple content sources. Artists, lawyers, and businesspeople debate the extent to which such mash-ups violate reasonable copyright protection. Copyright is also significant for academic articles and textbooks. There are two especially interesting cases to discuss. One is the widespread copying of textbooks by students due to the high price of texts. The other is the fair pricing of the publication of research results that have been funded by government grants. This issue has provided one of several stimuli to the creation of open access publications.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to examine pre-school children’s ideas about living and non-living things. Children were asked to determine whether particular objects in the pictures shown to them are living or non-living and asked to explain why they think so. The results of the research showed that majority of children can classify living and non-living things correctly and know that motion is a characteristic of a living thing. However, they held some alternative conceptions on the subject. Keywords: living things, alternative conceptions, pre-school children, science education.

Abstract:
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a major imaging tool used to map surfaces down to atomic resolution. However, scanning rates in AFM are still low, and attempts to increase the speed usually end up with low-resolution pictures. In order to address this deficiency we propose a novel model that treats the scanning element as a moving continuous microcantilever, which undergoes a combined spatial motion in both the horizontal and the vertical directions. This research investigates the effect of increasing the scan speed on the dynamics and stability of a vibrating microcantilever that is governed by a specified control law. We reduce the spatio-temporal model to a rigid body two-degrees-of-freedom system, which is connected to a linear digital controller. Results demonstrate that the digital controller stabilizes the nonlinear system and enables a smooth transition from one side to the other side of the sample, needed for the scanning process.

Abstract:
Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is the motion of a particle due to polarization effects in nonuniform electric fields. DEP is an electrokinetic transport mechanism that can be used to concentrate and separate particles. DEP is a nondestructive technique, with a great potential for the separation and concentration of bioparticles. Traditionally, DEP has been carried out employing arrays of microelectrodes to generate nonuniform electric fields. This approach is expensive due to the elevated cost of microelectrode fabrication, which makes high throughput systems economically unfeasible. An alternative is the technique called insulator-based DEP (iDEP). In this technique, nonuniform electric fields are created with an array of insulating structures, instead of electrodes. Insulating materials such as plastics have excellent malleability and can be mass replicated, providing for high-throughput and large-volume devices. The present study investigated the effect of bulk medium properties on the dielectrophoretic behavior of microparticles under iDEP, employing microdevices made from glass. Each microdevice contained several microchannels, and each microchannel contained an array of insulating cylindrical posts. Electric field was applied across the post array, creating regions of higher and lower electric field intensity. Prior to each experimental session, the microchannel was filled with a buffer solution of a known pH and conductivity. A sample of the microparticles was injected into the microchannel and an electric field was applied. The dielectrophoretic response of the particles was recorded in the form of videos and pictures. A parametric study was carried out by varying the pH and conductivity of the bulk medium, as well as the magnitude of the applied electric field, in order to study how each one of these parameters affects the dielectrophoretic response of the microparticles. It is anticipated that the results from this research project will provide with guidelines for the design and operation of insulator-based DEP devices for the concentration and separation of bioparticles.

Abstract:
Wetdeck slamming can be defined as a large vertical acceleration event that occurs when ship motions cause an impact between the cross deck and the ocean’s surface. The use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and other simulation tools to accurately predict wetdeck slamming loads and ship motions has become the objective of a number of efforts (Hess, et al, 2007; Lin, et al, 2007; Faller et al, 2008; for example). The Sea Fighter, FSF-1, is a high-speed research vessel developed by the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR). Christened in 2005, she is an aluminum catamaran propelled by four steerable water jets capable of speeds up to 50 knots. In 2006, Sea Fighter underwent a series of rough water trials to assess its operational profile in high sea states (Fu, et. al., 2007). Along with this assessment, ONR sponsored an effort to obtain full-scale qualitative and quantitative wave slamming and ship motion data. One of these rough water trials took place 18–20 April 2006 as the ship transited from Esquimalt, British Columbia, Canada to San Diego, California, USA. During this trial, the significant wave height ranged from 1.5 to 2.7 m and the ship speed ranged from 20 to 40 knots. This paper describes the results of the effort to characterize the Sea Fighter’s motion in waves. To provide suitable full-scale validation data, the incoming ambient waves had to be characterized. A Light Detecting and Ranging, (LiDAR) system, an array of ultrasonic distance sensors, and several video cameras were used to characterize the incoming wave field. In addition, three fiber optic gyro motion units were deployed to record ship motions. Additionally, a GPS unit was utilized to measure ship speed, pitch, roll, and heading. Several slam and near slam events are discussed over the range of ship’s speed, heading, and sea states tested. Similarities and differences between these events are also noted. Additionally, this data was used to develop a simulation of the Sea Fighter’s motion in waves similar to previous work done utilizing model test data (Hess, et al, 2007; Faller et al, 2008).
