    Thesis (M.Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, February 2003.Includes bibliographical references (leaf 63).The pervasiveness of high-speed wireless networks and handheld computers provide a channel for context-aware video delivery. Mobile cinema is a new form of motion picture experience in which discrete cinematic events are delivered based on a consumer's navigation through space and time, via this new channel. M-Studio is an authoring tool that helps mobile story creators design and simulate location-based narratives. The tool provides the author with a graphical interface for linking content with a specific geographical space, a framework for developing story structures for multi-threaded narratives, and a simulator that allows the author to evaluate the story threads that might unfold depending on the path taken by the viewer. The tool also directly generates the XML code that is used by a story server to deliver cinematic sequences to handheld devices. M-Studio has been used in the creation of two mobile narratives.by Carly M. Kastner.M.Eng

    As Little Regard in Life as in Death: A Critical Analysis of Subjugation and Accountability Following Deaths in Psychiatric Detention

    No full text
    This article draws on insights from doctoral research into deaths in psychiatric detention in England and Wales. As the article demonstrates, the response to patients in death has often been reflective of the response to them in life, both historically and contemporarily. Furthermore, the families and friends of patients and those who raised concerns have also been treated in a similar manner to patients themselves. Some of the key areas explored in the article are the exercise of power over patients and their advocates by the medical profession and other official bodies, including the oppression, categorization, and dismissal that they have faced. The contestations and challenges of this power will also be explored and how dominant voices have been challenged through the emergence of alternative truths. Post-death procedures will also be critically examined, primarily the inquest and investigation processes, with a focus on issues surrounding the secrecy and lack of accountability apparent
