Films and television shows provide a rich source of cultural data and form an integral part of modern life. However, the video medium remains difficult to analyze at scale effectively and its study has generally attracted limited research attention. We propose a method of summarizing the audio and visual aspects of entertainment videos, through the automatic extraction of dominant colors from v...

We describe a graph visualization tool for visualizing Java bytecode. Our tool, which we call J-Viz, visualizes connected directed graphs according to a canonical node ordering, which we call the siblingfirst recursive (SFR) numbering. The particular graphs we consider are derived from applying Shiver’s k-CFA framework to Java bytecode, and our visualizer includes helpful links between the node...

It has always been a challenge to assess the accuracy and precision of radiosonde instrumentation due to the lack of transfer standards for comparisons. One of ways for such assessment is to compare data collected from neighboring stations. The U.S. National Weather Service radiosonde station at Norman, OK is 25 km away from a research station located at Purcell, OK operated by the Atmospheric ...

This theoretical essay purports to explore the conceptual significance of amae for Japanese communication research. The essay first reconsiders the interrelationship of amae with the enryo-sasshi interaction style by reviewing the pertinent literature within and outside the discipline of communication. Second, the essay reconceptualizes amae as two types of human communication needs (i.e., mess...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the Kirkpatrick Learning Evaluation Model (1950) can be augmented to make it more credible and successful evaluation parameter in the changing times. Since the advent of Information Technology industry the rigid structures of organizations are replaced by the Flat/ Matrix structures, removing the bars of time and place. This paper is an attempt to...

This paper has two main parts. In the first part, I argue that prominent moves in two related current debates in epistemology—viz., the debates over classical invariantism and the knowledge first movement—depend on one or the other of two claims about epistemic propriety: (1) Impropriety due to lack of a particular epistemic feature suffices for epistemic impropriety; and (2) Having justificati...

In an era where learning is considered a problem, we decided to go for problems for the sake of learning! The purpose of this study was to throw light on the issues involved in two forms of PBL viz., Case Study Based PBL and Research Based PBL The influence of course and subject on the learning method was investigated. Students’ perceptions and concerns were analyzed using questionnaires. A sli...
