Ready for a Close-Up: The Effect of Tax Incentives on Film Production in California

Do motion picture incentives nudge productions to film in an adopting state, increase budgets, or hire more cast and filmmakers? Or do they simply subsidize productions that would have occurred regardless? Using California’s Film and Television Tax Credit Program, the author exploits incentives given out by lottery to answer these questions. The author finds that 19% of films would have filmed in California even without a tax incentive, but that the offering of an incentive increased the probability of a film being made in California by 16 percentage points. Both production budgets and the number of cast and filmmakers increased in response to the offering of a tax incentive, and, in California specifically, they increased budget spent by 267% and the number of cast and filmmakers hired by 123%. The program also had differential impacts based on film type, with only nonindependents increasing budgets and the number of cast and filmmakers in California.

The Response of Juvenile Olive Turtle, Lepidochelys olivacea : The Inclusion of Dried Seaweed and Seagrass in Fish Based-Formulated Feed

A common efforts to improve the survivorship of sea turtle in Indonesia is cage nursery program and fed single food type i.e. fresh fish. Such effort, however, has some constrains such as availability and the sea turtle would tend to be habituated because of single-continuous feeding type. Eventually, it could have impact on to their feeding behaviour and survivorship when it is released to the nature. This study concerns on using easily found dried material suh as fish, sea grass and sea weed. Four feeds type i.e. Fish Pellet (FP); F-Syringodium sp pellet (FSp); Fish-Ulva sp pellet (FUp) and fresh fish (FF)- control, were tested. Completely Randomised Design (CRD) with three replication were applied (totally 9 units + 1 unt for control), four individuals for each experiment unit (totally 40 individuals). The feed are given twice a day (i.e. 8 am and 16 pm). The experiment was run for 8 weeks and sampling of growth response were 2 weeks interval. The results showed that the Fish pellet (FP) resulted in superior response for all criterion ( body weight, length and width of carapace) compared to by fish fresh fish (FF), F-Syringodium sp pellet (FSp) and Fish-Ulva sp pellet (FUp). Daily growth (body weight) were significantly different between diet i.e. 0.71±0.19.g/d, 0.54±0.40 g/d, 0.35±0.77g/d and 0.24±0.30g/d for fish pellet (FP), fresh fish (FF), F-Syringodium sp pellet (FSp) and Fish-Ulva sp pellet (FUp) consecutively (P < 0.05). Nevertheless, the response of carapace length and carapace wide were not significantly different between diets (P > 0.05). The food ratio were FCR > 6 classified low, the efficient feed type (lowest FCR) was shown by fish pllet (FP) feed (i.e. 6.79) and the least efficient (high FCR) was shown by pellet of fish + Ulva sp (FUp) i.e. 24,6. The analysis of body weight – carapace length relationship showed negative allometric (b < 3). The economical analysis on feed production budget indicated that pellet of fish feed (FP) was the highest price, such high cost is due to high price of binder (i.e. CMC). Overall. Overall, the study emphasised that fish pellet feed (FP) was potential feed type to substitute conventional feed i.e. fresh fish for pre released juvenile Olive sea turtle at cage nursery.

The Design of an Arduino Based Low-Cost Ultrasonic Tide Gauge With the Internet of Things (Iot) System

Ocean tides play essential roles in the field of hydrography and navigation. The conventional method to measure tides is by observing the vertical variation of sea surface using a tide staff. However, this method has several disadvantages. It consumes more human resources and time to observe and record the take. Moreover, the recorded data tends to be subjective, depending on the observer. To overcome these disadvantages is by using an automatic tide gauge. This instrument can also provide almost continuous and near real-time tide data. The price of automatic tide gauge in the Indonesia market is costly. This research attempted to build a low-cost ultrasonic tide gauge by utilizing an Arduino microcontroller, ultrasonic sensor, GPS module, which is embedded with the Internet of Things (IoT) so that the real-time data can be uploaded and monitored on a webserver. The quality of the data collected from the instrument is controlled using the 3 σ rule to detect and remove outliers. Moving Average and Moving Median filtering methods are applied in the system to eliminate the noise. The data accuracy-test was performed using a relative error and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) methods. The test compares the data collected with the ultrasonic tide gauge and the direct observation method. The result shows the relative error, and RMSE values 0.226% and 6.629mm for raw data, 0.636% and 18.542mm for moving average data, 0.437% and 13.242mm for the moving median data, with the best filtering method is moving median. The instrument accuracy test results show that this instrument has excellent accuracy, with a 2,240,000 IDR instrument production budget or 7.5% of the lowest tide gauge prices.

Dynamic Time- and Load-Based Preference toward Optimal Appliance Scheduling in a Smart Home

In this paper, the household appliance scheduling based on the user predefined preferences is addressed. Previous works generally deal with this problem without integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) in smart home. The present paper proposes a new demand side management (DSM) technique considering time-varying appliance preferences and solar panel generation. The branch and bound (B&amp;B) algorithm is developed based on three postulations that allow the time-varying preferences to be quantified in terms of time- and load-based features. Based on the input data including the load’s power rating, the absolute comfort derived from time- and load-preferences, the total energy available from the solar panels as well as the energy purchased from the utility grid, the (B&amp;B) algorithm is run to generate the optimal energy consumption model that would give maximum comfort to the householder based on the mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) technique. To test the performance of the proposed mechanism, three scenarios are considered with local energy production and limited budget for purchasing the energy from the utility grid to cover the user needs. The simulation results reveal that the proposed DSM mechanism based on the MILP method offers maximum level of comfort for all the scenarios within the available energy limitation.

БЮДЖЕТУВАННЯ ЯК ІНСТРУМЕНТ УПРАВЛІННЯ РЕСУРСАМИ В СИСТЕМІ БУХГАЛТЕРСЬКОГО ОБЛІКУ ПІДПРИЄМСТВА

A modern enterprise management system is impossible without the development and implementation of planned indicators, it should be based on the budget planning and the achievement of budgets realized within the budgeting. The approaches of scientists about the "budgeting" definition were considered in the article and they found that in the modern scientific literature this concept is considered firstly as a process, secondly, as a technology and thirdly, as planning. Therefore, the existing system of enterprise budgeting is aimed not only at the development and implementation of budgets, it permeates all stages of enterprise management. Also it has a significant impact on the organization of accounting, analysis and control, the proper functioning of which depends on the effectiveness of management decisions and the stable development of the enterprise as a whole. Completed researches have shown that the budgeting is used as a tool for managing enterprise resources, debt capital, as well as a tool of internal accounting, control and analysis. The following types of budgets should be developed in the company that are directly related to resource management and debt capital: capital (investment) budget, procurement budget, production budget, inventory budget of finished products, cash flow budget, cash income budget, credit budget, cash budget. No less important place in the enterprise management system is budgeting as a tool of internal accounting, control and analysis. An accounting of budget execution is appointed to reflect the results of individual services, departments, workshops, brigades and the costs incurred by them for the relevant period. Control over the execution of budgets provides verification and evaluation of the results of the operation of various budgeting subsystems. The analysis of budget execution should be understood as a set of methods for comparing the actual budget execution with the planned indicators for a certain period and identifying the factors and reasons that led to their non-execution. Thus, budgeting as a tool of resource management and debt capital of the enterprise involves the formation of plans and budgets for future operations that makes it possible to anticipate problems and make management decisions to eliminate them. Therefore, the introduction of a budgeting system is an objective necessity that has its advantages and contributes to the effectiveness of resource management of the enterprise, increasing its competitiveness and efficiency.

한국과 브로드웨이 뮤지컬 제작비 구조 비교 분석: 2016~2017 시즌을 중심으로

본 연구에서는 뮤지컬의 본산인 브로드웨이의 제작비 구조와 한국의 뮤지컬 제작비 구조를 비교분석하여 한국 시장이 지닌 문제점을 찾아내고자 하였다. 공연분야는 예술가의 퍼포먼스가 핵심이기 때문에 지속적인 인건비 상승이 전체적 비용 상승에 큰 영향을 미친다. 다른 분야에서는 기술적 혁신으로 비용 상승을 상쇄할 만큼 생산성을 향상시킬 수 있지만, 노동 중심의 공연예술 분야에서는 비용 상승만큼 생산성이 충분히 증가하지 못 하는 비용질병 현상이 나타나 시장실패가 발생한다. 이번 연구 결과 브로드웨이와 한국의 제작비 구조가 매우 유사하게 나타났고, 특히 둘 다 인건비 비율이 가장 높은 것으로 나타나 비용질병 현상이 공통적으로 드러나는 것으로 파악되었다. 그러나 인건비를 세분화하여 주조연 출연료, 앙상블 및 기타 출연료, 그 외 스태프 인건비로 나누었을 때 한국은 주조연 출연료가 대부분을 차지하는 반면 브로드웨이는 앙상블 외 기타 출연료가 주조연 출연료의 두 배 가까이 높았고, 전체 출연료보다 스태프 인건비 비중이 훨씬 높았다. 한국에서는 주조연 출연료가 비용질병을 일으키는 가장 큰 요인으로 작용하고 있는 것이다. 따라서 한국 뮤지컬 매출구조가 악화되는 것을 막고 시장이 지속적으로 발전하기 위해서는 주조연 출연료가 가장 높은 비중을 차지하는 제작비 구조를 바꿔야 할 필요성이 있다.

Developing new Deaf screenwriting talent.

This paper examines how orthodox approaches to developing screenplays must be expanded when working with emerging screenwriting talent. It explores the particular issues and problems facing those working in Deaf film and TV, where production budgets are modest and training opportunities few. The analysis focusses on an individual case study: the year-long development of a half-hour TV drama between a professional hearing script editor and a novice Deaf screenwriter.The well-established formulation of the script editor is as a story expert supporting the screenwriter to hone her/his screenplay. Borrowing Gabriel’s idea of a ‘boundary rider’, the paper examines how the script editor works energetically to preserve the agency of the new screenwriter; to privilege experiential learning whilst responding to the demands of an industrial commissioning process and production specification. Drawing on Gramsci’s elaboration of the subaltern and the theories of Foucault and Bourdieu, it discusses the creative and cultural complexity of the editor - writer relationship.Macdonald’s proposed framework of the Screen Idea Work Group is employed to explore the lived experience of a dialogical process of shared creation, which expands out to include production team, actors and interpreters via a uniquely adapted Table Read situated at the heart of the script development process. The value of this powerful encounter for the screenwriter is reflected on as well as its cost. Overall it is contended that much greater investment is required to develop assured screenwriting voices that can craft compelling stories to connect with audiences for Deaf film and TV.

Two decades of carbonate budget change on shifted coral reef assemblages: are these reefs being locked into low net budget states?

The ecology of coral reefs is rapidly shifting from historical baselines. One key-question is whether under these new, less favourable ecological conditions, coral reefs will be able to sustain key geo-ecological processes such as the capacity to accumulate carbonate structure. Here, we use data from 34 Caribbean reef sites to examine how the carbonate production, net erosion and net carbonate budgets, as well as the organisms underlying these processes, have changed over the past 15 years in the absence of further severe acute disturbances. We find that despite fundamental benthic ecological changes, these ecologically shifted coral assemblages have exhibited a modest but significant increase in their net carbonate budgets over the past 15 years. However, contrary to expectations this trend was driven by a decrease in erosion pressure, largely resulting from changes in the abundance and size-frequency distribution of parrotfishes, and not by an increase in rates of coral carbonate production. Although in the short term, the carbonate budgets seem to have benefitted marginally from reduced parrotfish erosion, the absence of these key substrate grazers, particularly of larger individuals, is unlikely to be conducive to reef recovery and will thus probably lock these reefs into low budget states.

Entreprized contentetlesbian multicasting: étude comparative entre la saison 1 et la saison 2 de la série web québécoiseFéminin/Féminin

This article seeks to place the Féminin/Féminin web series (Chloé Robichaud, 2014 and 2018) within the Quebec media ecosystem and to think, through this case study, of the potential of the web as a platform for the dissemination of queer serial fiction written, directed, and produced by women in Quebec. This study examines more specifically the formal and discursive implications in Robichaud’s work between a first season that was produced for the independent community website Lez Spread the Word (LSTW) and a second season that was broadcast on the largest digital broadcasting platform in Quebec – Tou.tv. The visibility of a multiplicity of queer subjectivities certainly made history in Quebec television. However, by paying particular attention to the production budgets of seasons 1 and 2 as well as to their distribution space and by carrying out a comparative analysis of the narrative structures and images of lesbian characters in seasons 1 and 2 through the lens of the Queer Art of Failure (Halberstam), this article gives a better understanding of the programming of this series as “prized content” (Lotz) for season 1 and as “lesbian multicasting” (Himberg) for season 2. The study of this first queer Quebec television fiction makes an inventory of the post-network era in Quebec possible. This era, through its explosion of audiences, would promise more diverse and inclusive television for marginalized identities.

Effective Synthesis of a Biodiesel Precursor from Furan Derivatives at Room Temperature with NaHSO4 as a Recyclable Catalyst

Synthesis of a biodiesel precursor from biobased materials usually needs harsh reaction conditions such as high temperature, long time, and precious catalysts. In this article, a mild pathway was provided to directly synthesize biodiesel precursor bis(furan-2-yl)methane derivatives (BFMs) with industrial salt NaHSO₄ as a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst at room temperature. Over 99% yield of bis(5-methylfuran-2-yl)methane (BMFM) was obtained after 10 min reaction with 5-methylfurfuryl alcohol and 2-methylfuran (2-MF) as the substrates. Moreover, the addition of 2-MF in this work could effectively increase the BMFM yield and restrain the side reactions; then the proposed mechanism was also put forward according to the detailed mechanistic studies. In this condensation reaction, the electron donor substitute and conjugation structure on the furan ring is essential, and the crystalline water of the catalyst also promoted the catalytic efficiency obviously. Overall, this work provides a budget and practical approach for biodiesel production from biobased materials, which exhibit the potential for industrial application.

Russian Regions in the Acute Phase of the Coronavirus Crisis: Differences from Previous Economic Crises of the 2000s

The article examines the dynamics of the socioeconomic development of the Russian regions and the state of their budgets in the acute phase of the coronavirus crisis in April–May 2020. Differences in the rate of decline are revealed, due not only to the severity of quarantine measures, which affected the consumption indicators, but also the structure of the regional economy, which strongly influenced the industrial production dynamics and budget revenues. The rapid increase in the level of registered unemployment in almost all regions is due to the impact of quarantine restrictions on the market services sector, which is the most developed in large cities, as well as institutional measures (increase in the size of benefits and streamlined registration). The regional dynamics of the main indicators during the three crises of the 2000s are compared and significant differences are revealed in the distribution of regions by the rate of decline. The regional profile of each crisis was different due to its factors, risk zones, duration, and depth of the decline. The coronavirus crisis is aggravated by the fact that in most regions, the decline of the previous crisis in 2015 has not yet been compensated, which may lead to a protracted recovery from the 2020 crisis.

Analisis Varians Untuk Mengukur Efisiensi dan Efektifitas Anggaran Perusahaan PG Gempolkrep Tahun 2014 – 2015

The budget functions as an aspect of planning and supervision in the company's operational activities. The budget must be able to adjust the plans made for various parts of the company, so that one activity plan will be in harmony with another. Efficiency is the relationship between goods and services produced by an activity and the resources used. An activity is said to be efficient if it is able to produce certain outputs with the lowest possible input or with certain inputs it is able to produce the maximum output (spending well). Meanwhile, effectiveness is the relationship between the output and the goals or objectives that must be achieved. Operational activities are said to be effective if the activity process achieves the final policy goals and objectives (spending wisely). The purpose of this study was to determine the variance of the sales and production budget of PG. Gempolkrep Mojokerto 2014 - 2015 and measures the level of efficiency and effectiveness of PG's sales and production budget. Gempolkrep Mojokerto 2014 - 2015. The analysis method used is analysis of variance. The results of this study contained unfavorable variances in the sales budget for 2014 and 2015. Production budgets for 2014 and 2015 showed favorable variances. The use of the budget for 2014 and 2015 is less than 80% or is in the efficient category. The company's budget performance for 2014 - 2015 is in the range of less than 80% or is in the less effective category.

Current and future impacts of drought and ozone stress on Northern Hemisphere forests.

Rising ozone (O3 ) concentrations, coupled with an increase in drought frequency due to climate change, pose a threat to plant growth and productivity which could negatively affect carbon sequestration capacity of Northern Hemisphere (NH) forests. Using long-term observations of O3 mixing ratios and soil water content (SWC), we implemented empirical drought and O3 stress parameterizations in a coupled stomatal conductance-photosynthesis model to assess their impacts on plant gas exchange at three FLUXNET sites: Castelporziano, Blodgett and Hyytiälä. Model performance was evaluated by comparing model estimates of gross primary productivity (GPP) and latent heat fluxes (LE) against present-day observations. CMIP5 GCM model output data were then used to investigate the potential impact of the two stressors on forests by the middle (2041-2050) and end (2091-2100) of the 21st century. We found drought stress was the more significant as it reduced model overestimation of GPP and LE by ~11%-25% compared to 1%-11% from O3 stress. However, the best model fit to observations at all the study sites was obtained with O3 and drought stress combined, such that the two stressors counteract the impact of each other. With the inclusion of drought and O3 stress, GPP at CPZ, BLO and HYY is projected to increase by 7%, 5% and 8%, respectively, by mid-century and by 14%, 11% and 14% by 2091-2100 as atmospheric CO2 increases. Estimates were up to 21% and 4% higher when drought and O3 stress were neglected respectively. Drought stress will have a substantial impact on plant gas exchange and productivity, off-setting and possibly negating CO2 fertilization gains in future, suggesting projected increases in the frequency and severity of droughts in the NH will play a significant role in forest productivity and carbon budgets in future.

The use of H-index to assess research priorities in poultry diseases

Identifying which diseases represent a priority is crucial to optimize resources for diagnostics, control, and prevention. Here, the impact of 111 poultry pathogens belonging to Viruses (n = 31), Bacteria (n = 33), and Other (n = 47) was assessed using the H-index. The overall mean H-indexes suggested that poultry Viruses have statistically greater impact than Bacteria, which in turn are statistically more relevant than Others. Among the 20 highest H-indexes, 45% were zoonotic, and almost a third was Office International des Epizooties-listed. Avian influenza virus (H-index 127), Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium (H-index 72), and Eimeria spp (H-index 70) ranked the highest in Virus, Bacteria, and Other, respectively. Pathogens that produce overt clinical diseases and economic damage, cause immunosuppression, and/or are zoonotic had the highest H-index scores. The evolution of citations of particular pathogens reflected severe poultry outbreaks and/or zoonotic outbreaks in relatively wide geographic areas. Also, the evolution of citations based on taxonomic groups mirrored major changes in poultry production practices and management throughout history. Thus, Others were the most cited pathogens until the 1970s and, following 3 decades of unpopularity because of widespread use of intensive production practices, regained importance in the 2000s thanks to welfare regulation changes. Citations for Bacteria increased especially from the 1990s onward, probably because of the ban of growth promoters in western countries and the need to find new control methods for bacterial and protozoal infections. In general, countries with the greatest poultry production and research budgets had higher research production, that is the United States of America (USA) and China. Interestingly, the United Kingdom was among the top research producers despite falling behind other countries in poultry production and research budget. Moreover, the USA exhibited the strongest poultry research production based on number and diversity of publications (Dcos-index). In conclusion, the H-index could be a valid, simple tool to prioritize funding or interest in poultry diseases, especially when used as a preliminary selection approach in combination with other metrics.

E-Wastes: Bridging the Knowledge Gaps in Global Production Budgets, Composition, Recycling and Sustainability Implications

Rapid urbanization, advancements in science and technology, and the increase in tech-savviness of consumers have led to an exponential production of a variety of electronic equipment. The global annual growth rate of e-waste volume exceeds the growth rate of the human population. Electronic waste has now become a point of concern globally (53.6 million metric tons, 2019). However, merely 17.4% of all global e-waste is properly collected and recycled. China is the largest contributor to the global production of e-waste (~19%), the second being the United States. Indeed, only 14 countries generated over 65% of global e-waste production in 2019. E-wastes contain a wide range of organic, and inorganic compounds including various metals. Emerging contaminants like plastics are amongst the fastest growing constituents of electronic waste. The current challenges include the lack of reliable data, inadequate identification and quantification of new emerging materials, limited effectiveness of current recycling technologies, need for cutting-edge detection and recycling technologies, and the lack of e-waste management policies and international collaboration. In this review, we strive to integrate the existing data on production rates at different spatial scales, composition, as well as health, economical, and environmental challenges, existing recycling technologies; explore tangible solutions; and encourage further sustainable technology and regulatory policies.

Learned motion matching

In this paper we present a learned alternative to the Motion Matching algorithm which retains the positive properties of Motion Matching but additionally achieves the scalability of neural-network-based generative models. Although neural-network-based generative models for character animation are capable of learning expressive, compact controllers from vast amounts of animation data, methods such as Motion Matching still remain a popular choice in the games industry due to their flexibility, predictability, low preprocessing time, and visual quality - all properties which can sometimes be difficult to achieve with neural-network-based methods. Yet, unlike neural networks, the memory usage of such methods generally scales linearly with the amount of data used, resulting in a constant trade-off between the diversity of animation which can be produced and real world production budgets. In this work we combine the benefits of both approaches and, by breaking down the Motion Matching algorithm into its individual steps, show how learned, scalable alternatives can be used to replace each operation in turn. Our final model has no need to store animation data or additional matching meta-data in memory, meaning it scales as well as existing generative models. At the same time, we preserve the behavior of Motion Matching, retaining the quality, control, and quick iteration time which are so important in the industry.

A Machine Learning Approach to Predict Movie Revenue Based on Pre-Released Movie Metadata

With the growth of the movie industry, it is becoming increasingly important for the stakeholders to get an idea about the probable profit made by the movie in the box office. In fact, among movies produced between 2000 and 2010 in the United States, only 36% had box office revenues higher than their production budgets, which further highlights the importance of making the right investment decisions. To address this issue, different machine learning algorithms like Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) are used in this study to predict the box office return of a movie based on the data available before the release of the movie. The models use 35 movie parameters from 3200 movies as inputs to predict the profit made by a movie and classify the success of a movie from “flop” to “blockbuster” based on the generated revenue. An analysis of different machine learning architectures is also presented in this research. Finally, a system is proposed that produces comparable results with existing researches in this field and it can predict the profit generated by a movie with a “one class away” accuracy of 85.31% without using any sales information.
