Social media traffic and mobile usage is growing at an accelerating rate, and the amount of media that is being uploaded on social media sites (such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) is also increasing. The consortium GRAISearch aims at developing tools to merge, to visualise and to present this wealth of data in a comprehensive, compact and user-friendly way. This poster will present a work-...

Background & Aim: Effects of ultra violet spectrum on plants due to their obligatory requirement for sunlight for survival are unavoidable. Direct effects of UV on plant growth and development are generally negative and usually they use many different defense mechanisms to acclimate and protect themselves. Material & Methods: The present research for the first time was conducted to investigate...

We examine the evidence of growing social media use among political elites in lowand middle-income countries, including in places where the propor‐ tion of actual voters on social media is small. We propose three ways to view this phenomenon of– first, as signaling, second, as a means for politicians to access elite populations, and third as a way to circumvent mainstream media and exercise dir...

The spread of digital media and communications in the lives of children and youth have raised new questions about the role of media in learning, development and cultural participation. In post-industrial societies, young people are growing up in what Henry Jenkins (2006) has dubbed “convergence culture”—an increasingly interactive and participatory media ecology where Internet communication tie...

Abstract An automated region growing algorithm has been adapted for multi-class segmentation. The algorithm does not need initial parameters. It automatically finds a start region which is required by each of the region growing processes performed during multi-class segmentation. A new method for finding start region is proposed. The multi-class region growing algorithm was tested on CT and MRI...

Music and creative music making in different forms is important in young peoples’ lives. Children learn many things about music on their own by taking part in the growing production of musical cultures that media makes available. The media revolution has produced new tools for creative musical activities. Computer and synthesiser have become important tools for young people to express themselve...

We present an incremental approach to motion segmentation. Feature points are detected and tracked throughout an image sequence, and the features are grouped using a region-growing algorithm with an affine motion model. The primary parameter used by the algorithm is the amount of evidence that must accumulate before features are grouped. Contrasted with previous work, the algorithm allows for a...
