The SALERO project observed a lack of ontologies for the description and annotation of characters in media production. In this field ontologies could be used to support media asset management, information retrieval, automated production or reuse. This paper presents the SALERO Virtual Character Ontology which can be used to describe and annotate characters in media production and game design to...

bioethanol made from lignocelluloses biomass resources, provides unique environmental, economic and strategic benefits, when compared to gasoline as automobile fuel. to be able to substitute gasoline by bioethanol, one should over come many obstacles, including the production of furfural and hydroxyl-methyl furfural, which are produced when cellulosic materials are treated in the presence of ac...

effects of three nutritional levels of beet root molasses, cheese permeate, wheat bran extract, rice bran extract and sabouraud,s dextrose broth (sdb) were evaluated for blastospore production by two isolates of beauveria bassiana sensu lato. at an interval of 24 h for seven days. depending on the isolate, maximum blastospore production was obtained in 12% rice bran extract and 20% cheese perme...

Dunaliella salina is a unicellular green microalga that is considered as one of the best commercial sources of carotenoids. Growth and pigment production of D. salina (isolated from Sambhar Salt Lake, Rajasthan) was studied by using various inorganic media differing in chemical compositions viz. Artificial Sea Water media, De Walne’s media, Johnson’s media, AS-100 and Modified Bold’s Basal medi...

paradigm shift in media production: the advent of computational media production that will automate the capture, editing, and reuse of video content. By integrating metadata creation and (re)use throughout the media production process, we’ll enable the mass customization of video. F or the majority of people to not just watch but make video on a daily basis, the current media production process...

the culture media optimization is an inevitable part of upstream process development in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mabs) production. the quality by design (qbd) approach defines the assured quality of the final product through the development stage. an important step in qbd is determination of the main quality attributes. during the media optimization, some of the main quality attribute...

This paper explores some media production issues in relation to breastfeeding promotion. It delves into the relationship between media and news sources, and how this relationship can play a role to improve health communication strategies. Three in-depth interviews were conducted at the media production level involving a magazine editor and two breastfeeding news sources, a lactation expert, and...

Variability in gas production in multiple subcultures of Escherichia coli was assessed in two selective enrichment media and in lactose peptone water. Considerable variability occurred with all media at 37 and 44 degrees C. Addition of buffer increased gas production and decreased variability. The relationships between pH, growth, and gas production were complex. In buffered media, viable count...

Production of multimedia artifacts demands guidance for both engineers developing software and designers generating content. This paper distinguishes conceptually between media, multiple media and multimedia and defines the multimedia document as both communicative object and system, thus identifying integration as a fundamental of production; it proposes media transformations as a means of des...
