International Terrorism:Role ,Responsibility And Operation Of Media Channles, Ratnesh Dwivedi Mr Nov 2008

International Terrorism:Role ,Responsibility And Operation Of Media Channles, Ratnesh Dwivedi Mr

Ratnesh Dwivedi

"Terrorism" is a term that cannot be given a stable defintion. Or rather, it can, but to do so forstalls any attempt to examine the major feature of its relation to television in the contemporary world. As the central public arena for organising ways of picturing and talking about social and political life, TV plays a pivotal role in the contest between competing defintions, accounts and explanations of terrorism. Which term is used in any particular context is inextricably tied to judgemements about the legitimacy of the action in question and of the political system against which it is directed. …

G7 Method For Indigo Press Calibration And Proofing, Xiaoying Rong Sep 2008

G7 Method For Indigo Press Calibration And Proofing, Xiaoying Rong

Graphic Communication

G7 is a method originally developed for calibrating commercial offset press. Instead of controlling solid ink density (SID) and tone value increase (TVI), the G7 method introduces gray balance control as the key to achieve consistent color reproduction. The gray patches are quantified by CIE L*a*b* values. Inks used in conventional offset printing and Indigo printing are different in ink/toner pigments and ink setting/drying mechanism. Based on gray balance, the G7 method is believed to be valid for calibrating digital printing and other conventional printing processes. This study focused on the quality of color reproduction with the G7 method, and …

If you are like me, you get frustrated that you can’t learn as much as you’d like. As I get older, I deal with that part of life that we all (will) deal with …. the memory isn’t what it once was. Now, where was I? Oh yeah …

Shifting Trends In Evaluating The Credibility Of Cmc, Shawn Apostel, Moe Folk Apr 2008

Shifting Trends In Evaluating The Credibility Of Cmc, Shawn Apostel, Moe Folk

Shawn Apostel

Given the rapid development and dissemination of various information types within CMC, source evaluation methodology is increasingly difficult and has been complicated further by dominant academic approaches. We trace the reification of book-based evaluation criteria and how its exalted status has been undergirded by a mentality that reinscribes old patterns of credibility onto wholly new entities such as the World Wide Web. Additionally, we trace the development and implementation of these book-based criteria from an influential article to their various incarnations in the MLA handbook, an examination that reveals how CMC has been ignored, then sequestered, and ultimately embraced, albeit …


G7™ Method For Flexographic Press Calibration, Michael Bayard, Xiaoying Rong, Malcolm Keif Mar 2008

G7™ Method For Flexographic Press Calibration, Michael Bayard, Xiaoying Rong, Malcolm Keif

Graphic Communication

The purpose of this study is to apply the G7 method for calibration on a four-color flexographic press. G7 controls and calibrates a press using colorimetric values rather than tone value increase. Two press runs were completed to calibrate a flexographic press. The first press run provided data for creating a control curve called Neutral Print Density Curve (NPDC) for the press run with a specific combination of inks and substrate. The printed P2P target was used to build the RIP curve and cutback the digital file. The calibrated plates then ran for the second time to check the efficiency …

Pre-Registering Print Cylinders On Press, Malcolm G. Keif Jan 2008

Pre-Registering Print Cylinders On Press, Malcolm G. Keif

Graphic Communication

Those who study lean manufacturing know that waste comes in many forms. We must remind ourselves that anything that does not produce exactly what the customer values, when it is needed, is a wasteful operation. Makereadies, or press setups, are wasteful, at least in the eyes of our customers. Reducing press setup time is critical for improving customer value and making the printer more competitive on short-runs while increasing overall productivity. Even though make-ready time is built into an estimate, the bottom line is that it isn’t something a customer is delighted about paying for. Reducing makeready time, therefore, becomes …


Making Superior Plates Every Time, Malcolm G. Keif Jan 2008

Making Superior Plates Every Time, Malcolm G. Keif

Graphic Communication

Flexo plates are a critical component of the printing system. Printing is a system—viewing platemaking in isolation doesn’t address the total print process. A system has multiple components that interact with each other and influence the performance of each. Great plates with the wrong anilox rolls offer nothing to improve quality. Likewise, great plates made from a poorly prepared file help little to produce an outstanding final product. So, looking upstream and downstream is necessary to ensure your plates are supporting the total printing system. Superior printing plates… •have sufficient resolution for the graphics to be reproduced on the substrate …


Single Curved Fiber Sedimentation Under Gravity, Xiaoying Rong, Dewei Qi, Guowei He, Jun Yong Zhu, Tim Scott Jan 2008

Single Curved Fiber Sedimentation Under Gravity, Xiaoying Rong, Dewei Qi, Guowei He, Jun Yong Zhu, Tim Scott

Graphic Communication

Dynamics of single curved fiber sedimentation under gravity are simulated by using the lattice Boltzmann method. The results of migration and rotation of the curved fiber at different Reynolds numbers are reported. The results show that the rotation and migration processes are sensitive to the curvature of the fiber.

The True Colors Of Trademark Law: Green-Lighting A Red Tide Of Anti Competition Blues, Ann Bartow Jan 2008

The True Colors Of Trademark Law: Green-Lighting A Red Tide Of Anti Competition Blues, Ann Bartow

Law Faculty Scholarship

The elevation of color to stand-alone trademark status illustrates the unbounded nature of trademarks within the judicial consciousness. The availability of color-alone marks also facilitates the commoditization of color in ways that complicate the development and distribution of products and services that use color for multiple purposes conterminously. The economic case for color-alone trademarks is severely undermined by careful observation of the ways that colors are actually deployed in commerce, which makes it clear that the trademarks of multiple goods and services can utilize the same color to telegraph the same message without confusing anyone or diluting the commercial power …


Thinking Through Persuasive Play: Encouraging Gaming Experience, Shawn Apostel Dec 2007

Thinking Through Persuasive Play: Encouraging Gaming Experience, Shawn Apostel

Shawn Apostel

In 2002 the US Army released a highly effective and popular recruitment device: America’s Army. This free tactical multiplayer first-person shooter has proven to be so successful that other recruitment games are being developed and released by other military branches; however the effort being made to help students think reflectively about their game playing experience is minimal at best. This webtext will address these concerns by sharing ways video games can be discussed in the multimodal composition classroom.
