Abstract:
Decades of research has shown that television, as a medium for delivering instruction, is at least as effective as classroom lecture. Although many educators have expressed concern over the quality and frequency of student/teacher interaction available through televised courses, studies indicate that different learners may have distinct needs for varying types of interaction. As the use of videocassette recorders has become widespread possibilities have increased for new methods of video-based instruction. The increasing use of videocassettes for delivery of instruction has also raised questions for possible future research on how student use of this medium differs from broadcast television or live classroom lecture.

Abstract:
The increasing availability of videorecording cameras and cassette recorders now permits the visual documentation of medical events in children at home by parents. On two occasions recently, we asked families to videorecord their children's presumed seizure activity at home. In the first case, a 10-month-old white boy had frequent "spells" which by history appeared to be complex partial seizures. Routine awake and asleep EEG tracings were normal, and the family resisted hospital admission for financial reasons. Anticonvulsant medications were prescribed, and the family suggested that they borrow their parent's videocassette recorder to document their son's spells at home. Their videorecordings produced a high quality, permanent record of definite complex partial symptom activity clearly revealing eye deviation, nystagmus, and associated head and arm tonic activity.

Abstract:
Armchair observers have long argued that the time of year at which a motion picture is released affects the movie's potential for gaining an Academy Award nomination. The introduction of consumers' videocassette recorders (VCRs) in 1975 had the potential to erase this bias. The month of release for 11 years of pre- and 11 years of post-VCR Best Picture nominees and winners was analyzed. A disproportionate number of the films were released during the last three months of the year, especially in December. No significant difference was found for the month of release between films released during 1965–1975 (prior to the introduction of VCRs) and those released during 1981–1991 (after VCRs became widely available).

Abstract:
This study focused on the gratifications of some of the newer television technologies. Specifically we expected that cable television, videocassette recorders, and remote control devices would increase the gratifications people receive from watching television and the satisfaction they derive from television use. Telephone interviews were completed with 615 respondents in a Midwestern town. There was only limited support for our expectations. Use of new technologies had an impact on receiving, pass-the-time, and companionship gratifications from television viewing. Instrumental viewing motives, television exposure, and receiving informational gratifications from television viewing were the strongest predictors of television satisfaction. The discussion relates these findings to the ambiguous meanings that the new technologies have in U.S. society.

Abstract:
This article deals with the diffusion and standardization rivalry between two similar but incompatible formats for home videocassette recorders (VCRs): the Betamax, introduced in 1975 by the Sony Corporation, and the VHS (Video Home System), introduced in 1976 by the Victor Company of Japan (Japan Victor or JVC). Despite being first to the home market, the Beta format fell behind the VHS in market share during 1978 and declined thereafter. By the end of the 1980s, Sony and its partners had ceased producing Beta models. This study analyzes the history of this rivalry and examines its context—a mass consumer market with a dynamic standardization process subject to “bandwagon” effects that took years to unfold and that were largely shaped by the strategic maneuvering of the VHS producers.

Abstract:
The Information Technology revolution has led to computers predominating almost every aspect of our lives from programming videocassette recorders and microwave ovens, to withdrawing cash from automatic teller machines, to purchasing rail tickets, and to performing most aspects of our work. The role of engineering psychology is distinct from both psychology and engineering in that it arises from the intersection of the two domains. Engineering psychology is distinguished from ergonomics in that "the aim of engineering psychology is not simply to compare two possible designs for a piece of equipment but to specify the capacities and limitations of the human from which the choice for a better design should be directly deductible". In the present study, a comprehensive introduction and literature review of engineering psychology have been presented. The study was considered from different viewpoints which includes general introduction to engineering psychology; a comprehensive literature review that deliberates the present subject from the consideration of the need for a psychology of engineering, differentiation between engineering psychology, ergonomics, and importance of engineering psychologists.

Abstract:
Permanent magnets have long occupied an important position in technology. Among the multitude of products using permanent magnets are televisions, telephones, computers, videocassette recorders, audio systems, household appliances, and perhaps surprisingly to many consumers, automobiles. Figure 1 illustrates the numerous magnet applications in a modern passenger vehicle. These applications include an array of dc electric motors such as the starter, heater and air conditioner blower, windshield wiper, window lift, door lock, and fuel pump motors. A fully equipped car can have more than 30 dc electric motors. Other uses include actuators, gauges, and sensors. In all these examples higher performance magnetic materials may afford the advantages of increased operating efficiency and reduction in size and weight.One performance index or figure of merit for a permanent magnet is the energy product (BH)max, the maximum product of magnetic induction B and applied field H in the second quadrant of the B-H hysteresis curve. The so-called theoretical (BH)max, the highest energy product realizable in principle, is simply given by (4πMs)2/4, where Ms is the saturation magnetization. Progress in the development of technologically significant hard magnets has been monitored generally by improvements in (BH)max. For many years three types of materials were of commercial importance, namely, alnico, ferrite, and samarium-cobalt alloys based on either the SmCo5 or Sm2Co17 intermetallic compounds. Of these the Sm-Co magnets offer the largest energy products, on the order of 20 MGOe.

Abstract:
Em 1988, dois professores do sistema público de ensino de São Paulo Cristina Bruzzo e Antônio Rebouças Falcão foram convidados a montar um acervo audiovisual na Fundação para o Desenvolvimento da Educação (FDE), que seria disponibilizado aos educadores da rede. O advento do videocassete trouxe consigo novas possibilidades de utilização de recursos audiovisuais na sala de aula, e, frente a isso, constatou-se que alguns professores estavam, espontaneamente, alugando fitas em videolocadoras comerciais para utilizar na escola. Esse fenômeno fez surgir a ideia de se montar uma videoteca no Centro de Documentação e Informação para a Educação (Ceduc) da FDE, que disponibilizasse, gratuitamente, um conjunto de fitas VHS para fins pedagógicos. Esse foi o início do projeto Ceduc-vídeo e da Videoteca Pedagógica da FDE. A partir dessa data até o ano de 1997, a FDE foi palco de várias ações que visaram a promover a entrada do cinema e do vídeo na escola: montou uma videoteca circulante, produziu e distribuiu vídeos e filmes educativos, editou diferentes tipos publicações sobre o tema dentre os quais destacamos a série Apontamentos, as coletâneas Lições com Cinema e a revista Quadro a Quadro e realizou seminários entre cineastas, pesquisadores e educadores, dentre outras ações. Nesta pesquisa, fizemos o levantamento, a organização e a descrição das ações, relativas ao cinema e a educação, realizadas na entidade, com especial destaque para as iniciativas implantadas pelo projeto Ceduc-vídeo, principal responsável pelo crescimento da Videoteca Pedagógica e pela proposição dos desdobramentos que ela teve. Com o intuito de compreendermos o contexto em que essas ações ocorreram, optamos pela realização de uma reflexão histórica acerca da conjuntura educacional paulista no momento de criação da FDE, em 1987, e também uma reflexão sobre as três entidades que a formaram CENAFOR, FLE e CONESP , sua estrutura interna e seu modo de funcionamento. Em suma, esta pesquisa tratou de um projeto educacional inovador, dos subsídios criados por ele para que os educadores fizessem uso de recursos audiovisuais no processo de ensino e aprendizagem, do acervo de fitas VHS efetivamente montado e também da instituição que propiciou que, durante um tempo, essas e outras ações relativas ao audiovisual ocorressem junto aos educadores e às escolas públicas de São Paulo.
In 1988, two São Paulo public system teachers Cristina Bruzzo and Antonio Rebouças Falcão were invited to set an audio-visual archive ah the Development of Education Institution that would be avaliable to this systems educators. The VCR brought with it new possibilities for the use of the audio-visual resources inside the classroom and, after that, they started noticing that some of the teachers were renting films in a video rent shop to use at school. This phenomenom triggered the idea of putting together a video archive at the Information and Documentation Center of the Development of Education Institution where a set of videotapes would be available for free for educational purposes. This was the star of the Ceduc-video project and the Development of Education Institutions Pedagogic Audiovisual Archive. From this day to 1997, the DEI (FDE) was the stage of several actions who aimed to promote the entry of cinema and video in the schools : a moving archive was set, educational vídeos were made and distributed, several types of publishings about the theme among them we must highlight the series Pointings, the Lessons With Cinema collections and the Frame to Frame magazine and seminars with moviemakers, researchers and educators were performed, among other actions. In this research we raise up the facts, the organization and the description of actions related to cinema and education that were made at the Institution, with a special highlight for the initiatives started by the Ceduc-video project, the main responsible for the Pedagogical Archive growth and for the proposition of the splits it had. In order to understand the context within these actions took place, we chose to carry out a historical reflection around the circumstances of São Paulos education system the moment the DEI was created, in 1987, and also a reflection about three others institutions that were parts of it CENAFOR, FLE and CONESP their internal structure and the way it worked. To sum up, this research is about an innovative educational project, the tools created so that the educators made use of the audiovisual resources during the learning and teaching process, the VHS effectively set archive and also the institution that provided, for a while, that these and other actions occurred altogether with educators and Sao Paulos public schools.

Abstract:
Abstract Network industries may involve tipping, a point at which the joint existence of two incompatible products may be unstable, with the possible consequence that a single product and standard will dominate. Therefore, the control of third-party behaviour through external effects to support tipping is potentially an effective strategy in the network economy. Traditional industries where tipping has occurred are FM versus AM radio, colour versus black-and-white television, VHS versus Beta in videocassette recorders and typewriter keyboards. In marketing language, these industries have experienced a paradigm shift with new technologies successfully replacing old technologies on the majority market.

Abstract:
Abstract Thirty years after the “wasteland” speech, at least one aspect of television is vastly different. Three channels became five, then seven, then twenty, then fifty. Now announcements are being made promising 500 channels. Additionally, the development of the videocassette recorder provided an infinite variety of choices of programs. In actuality, the VCR may be considered to be a channel with unlimited capacity. But this explosion in means of distribution has not been accompanied by a corresponding growth in production. This has led to an increasing imbalance in the production-distribution-funding cycle. So the question becomes: What hap­ pens when one of these functions grows out of all proportion to the others? It seems to us that each new possibility has to be considered in terms of its relationship to the fundamental business equation-the production-distribution-funding cycle-since it will remain in force no matter what else changes.

In celebration of the band’s fifteenth anniversary, the Grateful Dead performed a run of concerts at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco and Radio City Music Hall in New York City in 1980. Whereas the distinctive sound of liveness heard on the band’s earliest commercial live releases owed much to the production techniques associated with the recording studio, Reckoning and Dead Set, two live double albums released in 1981, were recorded and mixed so as to suggest the sounds and textures of fan-produced recordings. At the same time, advancements in video technology, the introduction of home video systems, and the growing market for videocassettes and videodiscs suggested new ways of experiencing and marketing liveness.

Abstract:
This chapter considers how media landscapes in the home have shifted over this century and examines how devices relate to each other and to householders to create dynamic and evolving media ecologies. At the turn of this century, a typical domestic media ecology comprised a cathode-ray television in the living room, perhaps connected to a videocassette recorder; a desktop computer in a home office, perhaps connected to a dial-up modem; and a landline telephone, often located in a communal area in the home. More recently, the home has become a place for high-definition “smart” televisions, intelligent multifunction set-top boxes, game consoles, digital radio, high-speed broadband, cabled and wireless home networks, mobile computing, cloud connections, online government service provision, gesture-controlled games, and much more. How and why have these technologies been appropriated? How has this ongoing appropriation reconfigured the domestic media ecology and the life that is lived within this ecology?

Abstract:
Abstract In 1974, Sony demonstrated its Betamax videocassette recorder (VCR) to other electronics manufacturers, hoping that Betamax would be adopted as the industry standard. However, JVC subsequently developed its own VCR format, known as VHS, and thus began a classic format war. Sony’s Betamax machines entered the market in 1975, with JVC’s VHS machines entering in 1977. The left-hand graph in Figure 7.1 plots annual production of VCRs using Betamax (the solid curve) and VHS (the dashed curve), measured in millions of units. The right-hand graph plots cumulative production, again in millions of units. Despite the fact that JVC entered the market two years after Sony, production of VHS-format VCRs quickly overtook the Betamax format. Indeed, almost twice as many VHS machines as Betamax ones were produced in 1980 and the ratio of VHS production to Betamax production increased during the entire period. Betamax production peaked at six million units in 1984, a year in which more than 23 million VHS units were produced. One year later, Betamax production had fallen by 44%, while VHS production had grown by 75%.

Full text
Abstract:
The time-averaged width of individual longitudinal modes of a multimode XeCl discharge laser oscillator was measured using time-delayed interferometry, a technique related to Fourier-transform spectroscopy. The beam from the laser was divided by the beam splitter of a Michelson interferometer. The arms of the interferometer were adjusted so that their lengths differed by an integral multiple of the laser cavity length. Interferograms were recorded using a CID camera and a videocassette recorder. Measurements of the interference fringe visibility, made at path length differences of up to three times the cavity length, were used to calculate the width of the longitudinal modes, averaged over the laser pulse. The width inferred in this way exceeds the transform-limited width by a factor of 7. This discrepancy is attributed to the time-varying refractive index of the gain medium, which causes the resonant frequencies of the optical cavity to change during the laser pulse. This phenomenon limits the temporal coherence of such lasers, unless a compensating change is made in the cavity length. The time-dependent populations of the atomic and molecular levels predicted by a computer model of the discharge plasma were used to calculate the refractive index. The principal cause of the refractive- index change was found to be the dissociation of HCl. A simple model of the effect of the time-varying refractive index on the laser frequency predicts fringe visibilities in good agreement with measured values.
