Service-oriented models for audiovisual content storage
No full textWhat are the important topics to understand if involved with storage services to hold digital audiovisual content? This report takes a look at how content is created and moves into and out of storage; the storage service value networks and architectures found now and expected in the future; what sort of data transfer is expected to and from an audiovisual archive; what transfer protocols to use; and a summary of security and interface issues

Roll-off at the top of the ballot: intentional undervoting in American presidential elections
No full textEvery four years, more than 2% of voters fail to cast a valid vote in the U.S. presidential contest. The 2000 election highlighted the fact that many intended votes are voided because of voter confusion associated with complicated ballot designs or voting equipment. Using survey data, this study provides estimates of the proportion of voided presidential ballots that do not represent errors but rather intentional undervotes. Voters who are older, poorer, and who do not identify with either major party are more likely to intentionally refrain from casting a presidential vote. African American-white differences are very minor, implying that racial disparities in the rate of voided votes cannot be attributed to a stronger tendency among African American voters to intentionally skip the presidential contest.voting, elections, turnout
AC-6-U.S. Naval Planes Flying in Formation, Langley Field, VA/Thank-You Card from Stephen Tury to the Hungarian Defense Council.
No full textThis postcard, which depicts U.S. Naval planes flying in formation, was sent to the Hungarian Defense Council by Private Stephen Tury. The Council was organized in New Brunswick by leaders of local Hungarian churches and societies. During the Second World War it sent supplies, such as the carton of cigarettes Tury is thanking it for, to members of the military of Hungarian descent from the New Brunswick area

Work roll system optimisation using thermal analysis and genetic algroithm
No full textIn today‟s highly competitive business environment it is vital to have smart and robust decision making framework for companies to be competitive or even to stay in the business. Profit margin increases is no longer a result of producing and bring more products to the market. Instead it is also a result of reducing cost, in particular tooling cost. In order to succeed with this, industry need to look in to innovative intelligent systems to enhance their process development so that maximum utilisation of tools can be achieved. Tooling is part of a process hence having an optimal process design is one ideal strategy for best utilising of tools. In design optimisation however presence of uncertainty in design variables and in the mathematical model (used for representing the real life process) is inevitable. For reliable design solution to be found this process complexity need to be addressed. The aim of this research is to understand work roll system optimisation and thermal issues within rolling system design, understand uncertainties and sources of uncertainties and develop Genetic Algorithm (GA) based solution frameworks so that a conscious decision, that prolong tool life can be made.
The thesis has proposed a framework for generating approximate models from numeric finite element (FE) data. Using the proposed framework a number of quantitative work roll system thermal analysis and optimisation models were generated and used in subsequent optimisation process. In the absence of a suitable multi-pass model that exhibits the features of a multi-stage process; confident decision making will not be possible. Hence the research has developed a quantitative multi-pass model to simulate the work roll system thermal analysis and optimisation problem that represents the relationships as well as inherited features between passes.
The research has developed a Genetic Algorithm based optimisation framework that deals with the constraint quantitative problem as well as the uncertainty, in the design space and fitness function. The research also proposed a post GA result analysis methodology for identifying the final best optimal design solution for the research many objective high dimensional work roll system problems in presence of uncertainty
The performance of the proposed frameworks was studied and analysed through case studies. The research also identifies future research directions in the subject area
