The Influence of Glass Melt Flow Character on the Bubble Removal Process

The high utilization of the melting space for the bubble removal processes asks for the detailed examination of fining space geometry and glass flow character inside the space. The relative significance of the space utilization for fining may be assessed from simplified models of bubble removal from fining spaces. This work demonstrates how the temperature distribution and resulting glass flow patterns in the simple melting space (horizontal channel) affect the character of bubble removal from the melt due to variable utilization of the space for the process. In performed calculations, the fining performance of the channel producing no bubble defects is the followed technological quantity. The experimentally measured bubble growth rates in the TV model glass were used to evaluate the fining process. To appreciate the impact of glass flow character on the fining efficiency, the numerical model (Glass furnace model – Glass Service, Inc.) was applied, providing the temperature and melt velocity fields, as well as bubble pathways in the channel under given temperature boundary conditions. The results have shown that the character of glass melt flow and the space utilization from the point of view of the bubble removal process may be described by two quantities: the virtual height of bubble rising (the height which the bubble has to rise against downward glass melt flow to the level) and the virtual fraction of dead space for the bubble removal process (the space ineffective for the removal of the critical bubble). The results are intended to assist in developing new concepts of industrial fining spaces.

Global entertainment and local celebration

The entertainment show Idols has been without doubt one of the most popular TV programmes internationally in recent years. In the wake of this talent quest, local ‘Idols parties’ were organized throughout the Netherlands in 2003 and 2004. At schools, cafes, camping sites and clubrooms, parties were staged with names such as ‘Idols Night’ or ‘Gay Idols’. This article examines the meaning of these shows and what the phenomenon ultimately tells us about the relationship between television culture and popular culture. To this end, we attended eight Idols parties, conducting ethnographic fieldwork. We can conclude that the Idols parties are inspired to a great extent by the popular TV format, but at the same time the ritual character of the TV model is diluted to make room for a process of appropriation. The objective of each Idols party is to celebrate the group identity of their association, school or club.

A virtual boundary model for a quick drop–impact analysis of electronic components in TV model

In this paper, an effective method using the concept of virtual boundary is incorporated into the drop/impact simulation. Drop/impact-induced damage is one of the most predominant modes of failure electronic devices suffer in their usage. Drop/impact performance testing is usually conducted to investigate and understand the detailed impact behavior and damage mechanism of the product. This assessment can be performed through a computer simulation. The finite element method (FEM) is one of such techniques to achieve solutions within reasonable computational time and cost. However, in the large-scale packaged electronic devices model, the packaging components outside the electronic devices sometime incur too much CPU time in a drop–impact simulation, and thus a long computational time. Especially the cushion buffers that protect the electronic devices usually have very complex shapes and they are often meshed as solid elements by the FEM software. This causes a large demand for CPU time for the model involving the cushion buffers. With the proposed virtual boundary method, the boundary field, which only accounts for about 10% of original CPU time, will replace those external components. Accordingly, the substantial CPU time on those components and elements will be saved, and designers can obtain the simulation results of electronic components in a much shorter time. In this study, the reliability and advantage of the virtual boundary method are illustrated through the analysis of a TV model. The application of the method to an electronic component, a printed circuit board in the TV model, is also briefly discussed.

Initial global-local analysis for drop-impact effect study of TV products

The drop test analysis by using finite element method (FEM) needs effective techniques to achieve solutions within reasonable computational time. Therefore a global-local (GL) model is suggested in this work to reduce the computation time of the whole solution process with a reasonable accuracy. The proposed GL method is used to analyze a large-scale finite element TV model with complex and detailed components. The possibility of partial breaking of TV undergoing impact-contact condition is discussed. It also shows that the impact problem of TV finite element model with complex and a large number of detailed components in impact problem can be solved with an existing software within reasonable computational time. The Hertz's theory is also used in this work to reduce the impact force of the original model by changing certain properties. The results obtained through different parameters are presented and discussed.

The Digital Video Recorder: Unbundling Advertising and Content

Next time you turn on your television, actually watch the commercials and you will quickly see how poorly the economic model of TV is working. They put on a commercial for dog food, but you don't have a dog. Many of the commercials are for product categories that you do not purchase, and others are for products, such as cars or computers, that you use constantly but purchase only sporadically. The digital video recorder (DVR) may change this dramatically. The DVR will allow us to unbundle content and advertising. Content that comes from broadcasters bundled in one form - the TV show itself, the station identifications, the ads selling Budweiser and the promos for a very special Dawson's Creek - can be reshaped and separated before the viewer sees it. The ability to delete commercials puts at risk the basic financing model for free broadcast TV. At least as important, unbundling of ads and content allows personalization of commercials and that in turn may change content itself. Personalization will change the core role that content plays in intermediating between advertisers and audiences. Traditionally, content plays a dual role: it attracts a particular type of reader, and that in turn determines the type of advertising that can be sold. Creators shape content to best fit the intersection of advertisers and audience. A DVR with ad personalization has the capacity to alter completely this critical matching process played by content creators. How the DVR technology is organized will almost certainly help to determine whether viewers can commit to not deleting the ads. Decentralized, free-standing DVRs - the current model - will make commitment difficult. Centralizing the DVR technology in the pipes bringing the content into your home - putting the DVR technology in the cable box - may make the ad commitments more credible. The range of possible, supportable economic models turns directly on how the DVR technology is organized and those models matter directly for the kind of content that will be made available. How the technology is organized also turns out to be quite important for law. Standard legal instruments such as copyright or contract work only so well with widespread, decentralized use of a technology. Centralized technology is easier to control, either through contract; through common law doctrines such as contributory copyright infringement, the tack tried in Sony; or through direct regulation, as we have done with cable. The regulatory path for the DVR probably turns on whether it emerges as a decentralized technology ala the VCR or as part of the cable/DBS system. And, if the DVR technology is centralized, we may see a substantial asymmetry between broadcast and cable. The dispute over must carry will morph into a fight over must store or must be smart as over-the-air broadcasters will seek access to the storage and intelligence that will come to reside in the set-top box.

A local spectral inversion of a linearized TV model for denoising and deblurring

In this paper, we propose a model for denoising and deblurring consisting of a system of linear partial differential equations with locally constant coefficients, obtained as a local linearization of the total variation models. The keypoint of our model is to get the local inversion of the Laplacian operator, which will be done via the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Two local schemes will be developed: a pointwise and a piecewise one. We will analyze both, their advantages and their limitations.

Television and headache specialists: how to develop an educational model.

The task for the media is not to educate the audience: the first task for the media and especially TV is to inform (and to entertain) the public. The media and the journalists are not a public health office. They have to provide the public with news. It is not necessary to develop an educational model for TV, or the other media, especially for headache. Instead it has to be asked; what can be done to inform the public better? What can be done to help the people suffering from headache? Therefore it is necessary to develop an educational model for practitioners. The question must be: How can they gain the interest of journalists? The answer is: Look for news, give journalists news, let them know what the current problems are, what is news. Give journalists what they need and offer help. That's the best solution.

全国高等学校野球選手権大会Ｉｎｔｅｒｎｅｔライブ中継実験報告

Recently, the Internet has become a popular communication medium in which various kinds of information can be provided with world-wide coverage. Interactive information services through the Internet are also expected. The TV community is now trying to develop a new service model of TV broadcasting merged with interactive information services like the WWW over the Internet. In this paper, we report an experiment on a multimedia information service about a 14-day baseball championship as an attempt to merge the Internet with TV broadcasting. We designed a new feed system for the Internet since conventional systems are not suitable for feeding multimedia information to the Internet. This paper compares TV broadcasting and information services on the Internet, presents the design concept of our new feed system, and analyzes it through the experiment.

Binding Mechanism of a Neutron-Rich Nucleus 6He and Its Excited States

By using the hybrid- TV model of the 4 + n + n three-body system, the binding energy and excited states of He are investigated. The binding energy 0.784 MeV is obtained for more realistic 4 He-n interaction. It is discussed that the n-n correlations, which are fully taken into account in the ECM bases, are very important to reproduce the binding energy of He. The excited resonance states of the He system are also calculated by applying the complex scaling method. The first excited z+ state obtained as a three-body resonance state is in good agreement with experiments. However, the excited 1- resonance states corresponding to the soft dipole excitation are not obtained at the low energy region.

Materialization [database design

A new data abstraction, called Materialization, is introduced to model a situation that occurs frequently in the real world and has important implications for database design. Materialization is the relationship between two entity types, one that represents a conceptual object, for example, a TV Model, and one that represents its corresponding concrete objects, in this case, actual TV Sets. The Materialization construct is formally defined and contrasted with other well-known data abstractions. Its design implications are presented in terms of the entity-relationship model and its translation into a relational model. Guidelines are offered for the proper employment of this relationship in database design methodologies, and a discussion is provided of why this constitutes an important data modeling construct. >

Imitation of televised models by infants.

Studies indicate that infants in our culture are exposed to significant amounts of TV, often as a baby-sitting strategy by busy caretakers. The question arises whether TV viewing merely presents infants with a salient collection of moving patterns or whether they will readily pick up information depicted in this 2-D representation and incorporate it into their own behavior. Can infants "understand" the content of television enough to govern their real-world behavior accordingly? One way to explore this question is to present a model via television for infants to imitate. Infants' ability to imitate TV models was explored at 2 ages, 14 and 24 months, under conditions of immediate and deferred imitation. In deferred imitation, infants were exposed to a TV depiction of an adult manipulating a novel toy in a particular way but were not presented with the real toy until the next day. The results showed significant imitation at both ages, and furthermore showed that even the youngest group imitated after the 24-hour delay. The finding of deferred imitation of TV models has social and policy implications, because it suggests that TV viewing in the home could potentially affect infant behavior and development more than heretofore contemplated. The results also add to a growing body of literature on prelinguistic representational capacities. They do so in the dual sense of showing that infants can relate 2-D representations to their own actions on real objects in 3-D space, and moreover that the information picked up through TV can be internally represented over lengthy delays before it is used to guide the real-world action.

Effects of Live and TV Models on Observational Learning in Introverted and Extroverted Children

Introverted and extroverted preschool children were exposed to three modeling stimuli: a live model, a model presented on TV, and a TV modeling condition in which no human model was present. Regardless of the modeling condition, extroverts showed more observational learning than introverts, and live modeling produced more observational learning than either of the two TV-mediated conditions. Extroverts attended less to the TV modeling condition without a human model than did introverts, and both introverts and extroverts attended less to the TV-mediated conditions than to the live model.

The effects of television on children's stereotyping of women's work roles

Sixty-seven elementary school students, ages 5 through 10 years, from three ethnic groups were systematically exposed, over a 1-month period, to specially produced television commercials. One treatment group viewed prevideotaped cartoons interspersed with commercials of women in “traditional” roles, while a second group viewed the same cartoons but with commercials which portrayed women in traditionally male or “reversed” roles. Children were measured on pre-and post-tests on (1) their occupational knowledge, (2) the extent to which they stereotyped occupations, and (3) their own preferences for traditionally male and female jobs. Results indicate that children do learn about occupations from television content, that they also learn to stereotype or nonstereotype various occupations based on the sex of the TV model, and, finally, that girls will change their preferences for various occupations based on the particular roles they view women portrayed in.

Effects of Pro- and Antisocial Television Content on Children with Varying Degrees of Self-Esteem and Different Television Character Preferences

The study sought to identify the effects of observing a television program containing both pro- and antisocial content on 64 eight-year-olds who were divided on the basis of self-esteem (high vs. low) and sex. Also incorporated as a major variable was an index of favorite TV characters elicited from the children (scored from non-antisocial to regularly antisocial). The results showed that self-esteem was a significant personality variable which clearly affected what was learned from observing the two kinds of TV content. Low self-esteem males, and females of high and low self-esteem, tended to imitate the prosocial content, while high self-esteem males chose to imitate the antisocial content. Moreover, preference for antisocial TV characters also predicted imitative antisocial behavior for males. Because of the nearly total absence of prosocial TV models, character preferences did not predict imitative prosocial behavior.

Imitation of Live and Televised Models by Children One to Three Years of Age

The results of these studies indicated that children younger than 1 year possess the cognitive capability of translating a perception of a novel action into their own behavior. However, the likelihood of imitation varied as a function of the nature of the target behavior. For example, actions requiring direct social commerce with the examiner were imitated less frequently than simple motor behaviors with objects, and reproducing gestures was more common than vocalizations. Moreover, imitation seemed to depend upon the child's level of mental development--the imitation of coordinated sequences, which requires the child to associate two external events, lagged behind the imitation of single-unit behaviors. There was no evidence for individual traits of general imitativeness, at least not until symbolic relations were involved. Live models were imitated more than TV models but only prior to age 3. While children under 2 years of age were not facile at imitating sequences of behaviors or delaying performance at short time after modeling, older toddlers readily and accurately imitated televised sequences even after a 24-hour delay. Whereas socially extroverted and fearless children imitated live models more than shy children, TV imitation was not related to temperament, home TV viewing habits, or parental education. Finally, the experience of being imitated may facilitate the social cognition of influencing another person.
