چکیده
This essay illustrates, by means of an analysis of the film, Wag the Dog the relationship betweenmedial hybridization and cognitive “strange loops”. As defined by Douglas Hofstadter, the‘strange loop’ is a concept rooted in the subjectivity of individual perception that integratesdifferent levels of abstraction. Applied to “intermedial” practice it provides a heuristic platformfor the integration of ostensibly heterogeneous methods or concepts. Cet essai illustre à travers une analyse du film Wag the Dog à quel point l’hybridation médiatiquerelève de « strange loops » cognitifs. Ce concept défini par Douglas Hofstadter est ancré dans lasubjectivité de la perception individuelle et intègre des stimuli provenant de divers niveauxd’abstraction. Appliqué à une pratique « intermédiale » le modèle fournit une plateformeheuristique pour l’intégration de méthodes ou concepts à première vue hétérogènes. Este ensayo ilustra, a partir de un análisis de la película Wag the Dog (Wag el perro), hasta quépunto la hibridación popular depende de “strange loops” (extraños bucles) cognitivos. Esteconcepto definido por Douglas Hofstadter, el cual se sitúa en la subjetividad de la percepciónindividual, integra los estímulos provenientes de distintos niveles de abstracción. Aplicado a unapráctica “intermedial”, este modelo procura una plataforma heurística para la integración demétodos o conceptos a primera vista heterogéneos.

Efficient Fast 1-D 8×8 Inverse Integer Transform for VC-1 Application
In this paper, one-dimensional (1-D) fast 8 8 inverse integer transform algorithm for Windows Media Video 9 (WMV-9/VC-1) is proposed. Based on the symmetric property of the integer transform matrix and the matrix operations, which denote the row/column permutations and the matrix decompositions, the efficient fast 1-D 8 8 inverse integer transform is developed. Therefore, the computational comp...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(19)H(18)N(4)O(2)·0.25H(2)O, contains two organic mol-ecules and a solvent water mol-ecule with 50% occupancy. The two molecules differ in their conformations: in one mol-ecule it is (+)gauche-trans-trans-(+)gauche-trans, whereas in the other it is (-)gauche-trans-trans-(-)gauche-trans. The dihedral angles between the pyridine ring and the quinoline r...
متن کاملBromido[(1,2,5,6-η)-cycloocta-1,5-diene]methylplatinum(II)
In the title complex, [PtBr(CH(3))(C(8)H(12))], the Pt(II) ion is in a distorted square-planar environment defined by the Br and methyl C atoms and the mid-points of the two π-coordinated double bonds of cyclo-octa-1,5-diene. As a result of the different trans influences of the Br atom and the methyl group, the Pt-C bonds trans to the methyl group [2.262 (11) and 2.261 (10) Å] are longer than t...
متن کاملUse of dried blood for measurement of trans fatty acids
BACKGROUND Fatty acid measurements especially trans fatty acid has gained interest in recent times. Among the various available biomarkers, adipose tissue is considered to be the best for the long term dietary intake but the invasive nature of tissue aspiration reduces its utility. Phlebotomy is a much less invasive method of sample collection when a large number of participants are involved in...
متن کاملTrans fat feeding results in higher serum alanine aminotransferase and increased insulin resistance compared with a standard murine high-fat diet.
Diets high in trans fats are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and components of the metabolic syndrome. The influence of these toxic fatty acids on the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has not been significantly examined. Therefore, we sought to compare the effect of a murine diet high in trans fat to a standard high-fat diet that is devoid of trans fat...
متن کاملMetabolic implications of dietary trans-fatty acids.
Dietary trans-fatty acids are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and have been implicated in the incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is established that high-fat saturated diets, relative to low-fat diets, induce adiposity and whole-body insulin resistance. Here, we test the hypothesis that markers of an obese, prediabetic state (fatty liver, visce...
