The Canons Of Television: An Application Of The Five Canons Of Classical Rhetoric To Television Program Development, Jamey Todd Combs
The Canons Of Television: An Application Of The Five Canons Of Classical Rhetoric To Television Program Development, Jamey Todd Combs
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
This study constructs a methodology of television program development based on the five canons of classical rhetoric. Ronald Primeau (1979) first introduced the canons to the electronic media. His book uses the canons as a guide to television viewing. He argues that by understanding the television industry, an audience can better enjoy the medium. Expanding from Primeau's work, this study creates a method of program development based on the canons and uses the process to design a synopsis for a new television series.
Finite Elements With H -Adaptation For Momentum, Heat And Mass Transport With Application To Environmental Flow, David Bradley Carrington
Finite Elements With H -Adaptation For Momentum, Heat And Mass Transport With Application To Environmental Flow, David Bradley Carrington
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Self-adaptive algorithms for 2 and 3-dimensional unstructured finite element grids are recent to the solution of partial differential equations, particularly those equations describing environmental transport. An h-adaptive grid embedding method is developed to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for fluid flow and scalar transport. An application to atmospheric mass transport is presented; This h-adaptive algorithm, in combination with the finite element method, has been designed to solve 2 and 3-dimensional problems on Pentium PC's, including problems involving complex geometry on high end PC's, workstations and mainframes. The Galerkin finite element solver is a 2 point Gauss-Legendre integration scheme which employs …
Penware Panther: An Embedded Computer System For Real-Time Applications, Chenyong Huang
Penware Panther: An Embedded Computer System For Real-Time Applications, Chenyong Huang
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Embedded computer systems target on different tasks and serve in various environments. This thesis relates to the design of Panther, an embedded computer system for real-time applications. Panther, a product of Mobinetix System Company, is a transaction and signature capture terminal which is aimed at a paperless environment. This product possesses a variety of functions from electronically capturing signature for receipts, contracts or identification, to touch-screen communication for PIN entry, advertising and customer survey. The emphasis of the thesis is on design of the firmware module of Panther. Instead of using the traditional flow chart and state machine approaches, an …
