Abstract:

Social media is a vast, fluctuant domain that is difficult to grasp, overlook and explain. It is important in our daily lives as well as for organisations, such as traditional media. Traditional media is moving from analogue news propagation to propagating news online, where social media plays a significant role. This study contributes to the understanding of traditional media propagation in social media, through quantitative and network analysis of articles’ spread in social media. The study also contributes to refining social media network analysis methodology, from the perspective of tradit

Abstract:

This thesis is about an operator algebraic approach towards the derivation of the electrical conductivity in disordered solid states based on the theory of quantum many-particle systems. Such an approach is of interest since it allows for the description of interacting electron gases, which is a feature not present in previous work. In the context of the description of ergodic media, new concepts are introduced, such as covariant states and covariant morphisms. Moreover, the concept of covariant states is combined with the well-known concept of KMS states. In its covariant form, KMS states d

Abstract:

In the last few years, the explosion of multimedia content on the Web has made multimedia resources the “first class citizen” of the Web. While these resources are easily stored and shared, it is becoming more difficult to find specific video/audio content, especially to identify, link, navigate, search and share the content inside multimedia resources. The concept of media fragment refers to the deep linking into multimedia resources, but making annotations to media fragments and linking them to other resources on the Web have yet to be adopted. The Linked Data principles offer guidelines for

This project examines the influence of digital media on the contentious politics in Greece, as well as, the political economic sphere’s impact on the formation of the digital mediascape. The research concentrated on the parallel evolution of the (debt) crisis and the digital communications in Greece, by examining four different online media platforms and covering a seven-years period (2008; 2011-12; 2015). The research employed cyberconflict theory to situate online mediated conflict (sociopolitical and ethnoreligious cyberconflict) in a geosociopolitical and historical context, indicating the

Abstract:

This research is aimed at understanding the mechanical behavior of particulate/granular media using the power of lattice based techniques. In the lattice type model, a particulate assembly is simulated as a lattice/truss network. Nodes are relocated at contacts between a particle and its neighbors/boundaries and are linked by bars to each other. Each particle is replaced by a lattice within its microstructure and particles interact through load transfer at nodes. Constraints are prescribed at the nodes of the lattice to simulate active, deactivated, and reactivated contacts. An assembly of par

Acne is associated with a range of psychosocial impacts, including stigmatisation. Yet little is understood about the role of sociocultural context in acne-related stigma. Media representations and consumption are likely to play a role in the nature of such impacts. This thesis adopts a novel mixed methods, interdisciplinary approach to examine how media messages relate to stigma surrounding acne. An ethnographic content analysis (Study 1) of 637 magazine advertisements (1972 – 2008), indicated that acne was framed as a cosmetic concern, with acne opposed to the ideal of perfect skin.

Engineers Talk Be it through conversations, meetings, informal discussion, phone calls or E-Mail, Engineering Design Communication is the main tributary for the sharing of knowledge, thoughts and ideas, and therefore, fundamental to Engineering Work.

It is thereby, an inherent source of explicit design rationale that relates to (and very often supplements) Engineering Records and their generation.

Abstract:

Media coverage of Post-World War II military conflicts resulted in a reorganization of war coverage procedures. The predominant reason for the reorganization is the tension created within the organizational program that constantly sets one subgroup against another. This study is interested in the tension that caused the transformation of the war coverage effort as it evolved from one war to another. This dissertation addresses how the different war coverage policies and programs were formed to manage media involvement during war. It is a descriptive account, identifying characteristics f

Abstract:

The behavior of particulate media, in contrast to the behavior of continuous media, is governed by the interaction of particles/grains at contacts. The current approach to model particulate media is through a disc model assembly composed of rigid discs linked by normal and tangential springs at contacts. In this project, a novel approach using a lattice type model is investigated. The mathematical concepts related to the formulation of the lattice model are developed and are numerically implemented by a computer code.

New media and transmedia are two phenomena that are currently changing the way in which media is produced, distributed and experienced.

The stochastic-continuum model developed by Schwartz and Smith [1988] is a new approach to the traditional continuum methods for solute transport in fractured media. Instead of trying to determine dispersion coefficients and an effective porosity for the hydraulic system, statistics on particle motion (direction, velocity and fracture length) collected from a discretely modeled sub-domain network are used to recreate particle motion in a full-domain continuum model. The discrete sub-domain must be large enough that representative statistics can be collected, yet small enough to be modeled with

Abstract:

Chronic otitis media (OM) is an archetypal complex disease, which is particularly prevalent in childhood. Epidemiological data suggest high heritability for disease susceptibility, but previous genetic association studies have had methodological flaws, and none have specifically focused on chronic OM phenotypes. Mouse models represent one way to ascertain candidate loci for human association testing. A number of mouse models of middle ear inflammation have been reported, but many susceptibility loci remain undiscovered. I demonstrate that oto-endoscopy is a robust and scalable phenotyping plat
