This paper examines the ‘state between’ occupied by the performer in a live media performance. Working from Matthew Causey’s contention that ‘the performer becomes the medium through which the technology reaches the audience’ [2, p.45], the argument presented is that within live media performance modes, the performer actually occupies a dual state whereby she is both active within and acted upo...

Photonic crystals (PCs) have emerged as one of the most widely used platforms for controlling light-matter interaction in solid-state systems. They rely on Bragg scattering from wavelength-sized periodic modulation in the dielectric environment for manipulating the electromagnetic field. A complementary approach to manipulate light-matter interaction is offered by artificial media known as meta...

the present investigation was aimed at developing a novel colon targeted system of lornoxicam based on the use of a combination of ph dependent system (to prevent the premature release of drug in the upper git) and enzymatically degradation system (to ensure the specificity of drug release in the colon). the drug loaded guar gum microspheres prepared by emulsification cross-linking method were ...

BACKGROUND The promotion of evidence-based cessation services through social media sites may increase their utilization by smokers. Data on social media adoption and use within tobacco control programs (TCPs) have not been reported. OBJECTIVE This study examines TCP use of and activity levels on social media, the reach of TCP sites, and the level of engagement with the content on sites. MET...

nowadays, media is under domination of political regime & capitalist system that leads media to unsuitable status and malfunctions. so there is not any reasonable definition of ideal function. rate of social changes challenges any interaction between media & social context. discursive point of view reveals media identification crisis & its instrumental function. considering media competencies &...

The possibility of using spatial solitary waves for implementation of optical logic and switching has led to a number of experimental and theoretical investigations of the interactions between spatial solitons.1–8 An extensive discussion of geometrical and material alternatives for implementing optical soliton switches was given in Ref. 9. Initial experimental work in this area centered on Kerr...

This paper presents the current state in an ongoing development of the Emonic Environment (EE): a real-time improvisational system employing evolutionary principles for the mutation of media space. We position the associated problems in the context of user interaction, provide eight principles essential for creating an improvisational media environment, follow with a description of how the EE i...

In this research the exclusive decay of                         is calculated by QCD factorization (QCDF) method and final state interaction (FSI). First, the  decay is calculated via QCDF method. The result that is found by using the QCDF method is less than the experimental result. So FSI is considered to solve the decay. For this decay, via the exchange of mesons are chosen for the intermedi...
