The Challenge of Inference in Interinstitutional Research on Mass Communication

نویسنده

  • Joseph Turow
چکیده

Interinstitutional research in mass communication carries with it a chain of complex, interrelated problems regarding tactics, sampling, data reliability, and notions of causality. This article confronts a number of these difficulties and suggests ways to deal with them. In addition, it draws on notions of storytelling and cognitive aesthetics to broaden the criteria for judging research. The aim is to encourage scholarship that is ambitious in thought and act and at the same time self-reflective and open about the most daunting dilemmas that confront researchers in this important research area.

Nonlinear Analysis of Nonlinearly Loaded Dipole Antenna in the Frequency Domain Using Fuzzy Inference

In this paper, inference model is proposed so as to analyze nonlinearly loaded dipole antenna. In modeling process, linear and nonlinear behavior of the problem is saved as simple and unchanged membership functions and the effect of incident wave on the induced voltage at different harmonies are then extracted easily. Consequently the model achieved is more efficient than previous studies using...
