Screenografie kompakt: Der immersive Bildraum grafischer Benutzeroberflächen
by Thomas MoritzDieses Buch behandelt die Screenografie von grafischen Benutzeroberflächen basierend auf einem didaktisch strukturierten Lehrprogramm, dessen Kapitel inhaltlich aufeinander aufbauen und jeweils in einem zusammenfassenden Fazit enden. Nach einer einführenden thematischen Motivation werden wahrnehmungspsychologische und kommunikationswissenschaftliche Grundlagen des Systemischen Designs erläutert, dessen Spezifik für die systematische Entwicklung grafischer Benutzeroberflächen essentiell ist. Im Kontext immersiver Raumnutzung wird u.a. illustriert, wie ein Screen morphologisch in kleinere geometrische Einheiten unterteilbar ist, die als visuelles Ganzes die ideale Basis für ein visuelles Gestaltungsraster bilden, welches den immersiven Bildraum strukturiert und organisiert. Es werden nutzerspezifische Farbgebungen für ein visuelles Ambiente aufgezeigt, das einem speziellen Nutzernaturell entspricht, da es auf Erfahrungen mit natürlichen Umgebungen basiert und über alle geografischen und ethnologischen Grenzen hinweg stimuliert und zur interaktiven Nutzung motiviert.

Es werden mögliche Farbkombinationen für ein visuelles Ambiente definiert, deren Wirkungsweise auf natürlichen Erfahrungswerten basiert und somit einem speziellen Nutzernaturell entspricht, dessen Charakteristika weltweit identisch sind.
Screenplay: Children and Computing in the Home
by Keri Facer John Furlong Ruth Furlong Rosamund SutherlandWhat are young people really doing on computers at home?Computers feature heavily in the lives of today's young people, and this book sets out to question commonplace assumptions about the use of technology by children at home. Bringing together research from the perspective of psychology, sociology, education and media studies, the authors ask whether we are really witnessing the rise of a new 'digital generation'.Drawing upon the results of their in-depth research project, the authors filter and assess their findings accessibly, offering fascinating reading on:* how computers are used in the home* how parents and children negotiate access to and use of the computer* what role the computer plays in the day to day lives of families.This book makes use of illuminating case studies, and highlights key issues of concern around issues of equality and access in a wider social context. This truly interdisciplinary perspective will be instrumental in reshaping the understanding of teachers, ICT advisors, policy makers and all involved in ICT for children.

Screenwriting With a Conscience: Ethics for Screenwriters
by Marilyn BekerScreenwriting With a Conscience: Ethics for Screenwriters is for screenwriters who care deeply about what they write; who are aware that movie images matter and can influence audiences; and who want to create meaningful screenplays that make powerful statements while entertaining and winning over audiences. A user-friendly guide to ethical screenwriting, this book makes the case that social responsibility is endemic to public art while it emphatically champions First Amendment rights and condemns censorship.In this dynamic and practical volume, author Marilyn Beker provides methods for self-assessment of values, ideas, and ethical stances, and demonstrates the application of these values to the development of plot, character, and dialogue. Screenwriters are introduced to ethical decision making models and shown--through specific film examples--how they can be utilized in plot and character development. In addition, specific techniques and exercises are supplied to help screenwriters determine the difference between "good" and "evil," to write realistic and compelling characters based on this determination, and to present "messages" and write dialogue powerfully without preaching. This book also puts forth a livable work philosophy for dealing with the ethics of the screenwriting business, and presents a viable personal philosophy for surviving in the screenwriting world.Screenwriting With a Conscience: Ethics for Screenwriters is an indispensible, dynamic guide for the ethics-conscious screenwriter. It is intended for screenwriters at the student and professional level, and is appropriate for beginning to graduate screenwriting courses in film and English programs, and for film courses dealing with Ethics in the Media.

Geological and geotechnical characterization of Boom clay, and overview of screw pile testing over the last 30 years;3. Results of the various load tests recently performed on 30 piles: static, dynamic, statnamic, and integrity and outcome of an international prediction event; 4. Tentative translation of the current body of knowledge in terms of potential application rules to be soon ascenrtained at the national level, as required by Eurocode 7.The remarkable aspects of the soil displacement piles covered in this book is an exceptionally low variability of geotechnical parameters,installation performance, and pile capacity calculations.
Screw Theory in Robotics: An Illustrated and Practicable Introduction to Modern Mechanics
by Jose M. Pardos-GotorScrew theory is an effective and efficient method used in robotics applications. This book demonstrates how to implement screw theory, explaining the key fundamentals and real-world applications using a practical and visual approach. An essential tool for those involved in the development of robotics implementations, the book uses case studies to analyze mechatronics. Screw theory offers a significant opportunity to interpret mechanics at a high level, facilitating contemporary geometric techniques in solving common robotics issues. Using these solutions results in an optimized performance in comparison to algebraic and numerical options. Demonstrating techniques such as six-dimensional (6D) vector notation and the Product of Exponentials (POE), the use of screw theory notation reduces the need for complex algebra, which results in simpler code, which is easier to write, comprehend, and debug. The book provides exercises and simulations to demonstrate this with new formulas and algorithms presented to aid the reader in accelerating their learning. By walking the user through the fundamentals of screw theory, and by providing a complete set of examples for the most common robot manipulator architecture, the book delivers an excellent foundation through which to comprehend screw theory developments. The visual approach of the book means it can be used as a self-learning tool for professionals alongside students. It will be of interest to those studying robotics, mechanics, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering.

Scrolling Forward: Making Sense of Documents in the Digital Age
by David M. Levy Ruth OzekiLike Henry Petroski’s The Pencil, David Levy’s Scrolling Forward takes a common, everyday object, the document, and illuminates what it reveals about us, both in the past and in the digital age.We are surrounded daily by documents of all kinds-letters and credit card receipts, business memos and books, television images and web pages-yet we rarely stop to reflect on their significance. Now, in this period of digital transition, our written forms as well as our reading and writing habits are being disturbed and transformed by new technologies and practices.An expert on information and written forms, and a former researcher for the document pioneer Xerox, Levy masterfully navigates these concerns, offering reassurance while sharing his own excitement about many of the new kinds of emerging documents. He demonstrates how today’s technologies, particularly the personal computer and the World Wide Web, are having analogous effects to past inventions-such as paper, the printing press, writing implements, and typewriters-in shaping how we use documents and the forms those documents take. Scrolling Forward lets us see the continuity between the written forms of today and those of the past.
Scrum Essencial
by Rafaella C. S. Barros Troy DimesDesenvolvimento de Software Ágil Usando ScrumCrie softwares que agreguem mais valorIdeias são baratas. Muitas pessoas parecem pensar que a maior parte do processo de desenvolvimento de software é apenas criar um conceito vago de uma aplicação que as pessoas podem querer. Você provavelmente já escutou muitas pessoas dizerem coisas como: "Tenho uma ideia para um aplicativo que certamente terá um milhão de downloads!", apenas para ter mais um aplicativo em um mar de aplicativos similares.Criar softwares ótimos e entregá-los no prazo precisa de um esquema de implementação sistemático, mas que não seja excessivamente rígido. Qualidade e tempo devem andar juntos. Se você entregar um software que esteja cheio de bugs ou com uma experiência ao usuário ruim, você certamente não poderá contar com outra negociação com seu cliente. Muitos programadores temem esse resultado e, por conta disso, demoram muito para criar programas.Você tem uma quantidade de tempo limitada para criar software, especialmente quando você tem um prazo, que você mesmo impôs ou não. É importante que você tenha certeza que o software que você construiu é bom o suficiente, mas ainda mais importante, que esteja no prazo. Como você equilibra qualidade e tempo?Esse livro mergulha nesses tópicos muito importantes. Após ler Scrum Essencial, você entenderá sobre os papéis do scrum, sprints, artefatos scrum e muito mais. Eis o que você aprenderá lendo Scrum Essencial:· O que é a Metodologia Cascata e porque você não deveria usar este método para executar seus projetos de software· O que é Scrum, sua origem, porque você deveria usá-lo e como você pode encontrar um uso prático na sua organização hoje· A diferença entre Scrum e o desenvolvimento de software ágil· Os vários papeis Scrum incluindo o Product Owner, Scrum
Scrum - ¡Guía definitiva de prácticas ágiles esenciales de Scrum!
by The BlokeheadScrum - ¡Guía definitiva de prácticas ágiles esenciales de Scrum! El principal problema del método en cascada es que las etapas de desarrollo se dividen en trozos grandes. Este enfoque sobre-incremental evita la flexibilidad a lo largo de todo el proceso de desarrollo. Con el tiempo, se introdujeron métodos de desarrollo de software adicionales para resolver los problemas subyacentes al modelo en cascada tradicional. Uno de estos métodos iterativos e incrementales más populares se llama la "práctica ágil”. La práctica ágil es sólo uno de los muchos métodos iterativos ideados por los líderes del desarrollo en el pasado. Fundamentalmente, los métodos iterativos se oponían al enfoque sobre-incremental del método en cascada mediante el uso de una multitud de fases más pequeñas. Estas fases abarcan las partes principales del método en cascada (requisito, diseño, implementación, verificación y mantenimiento); pero hecho en incrementos más pequeños, más frecuentes. Éstos también se llaman "mini-cascadas”. En esencia, la práctica ágil se mueve a través de un ciclo de vida del método de desarrollo en cascada en un tiempo mucho más corto. Los “líderes de pensamiento” que están detrás de la formación de la práctica del desarrollo ágil la perfeccionaron usando 12 principios clave. Estos principios los discutiremos en el Capítulo 7 – Los 12 Principios de Ágil, y se aplicarán en la mayoría de las lecciones de este libro electrónico.
Scrum - Guida Pratica Definitiva alle Pratiche della Metodologia di Sviluppo Agile!
by The BlokeheadLa metodologia Agile è soltanto uno dei numerosi metodi iterativi ideati in passato dai leader nel settore dello sviluppo software. In sostanza, i metodi iterativi contrastavano l'approccio eccessivamente incrementale del metodo a cascata proponendo l’utilizzo di tante piccole fasi distinte. Queste fasi corrispondono a quelle principali del metodo a cascata (identificazione dei requisiti, progettazione, implementazione, testing e manutenzione) ma sono di fatto suddivise in contributi minori e più frequenti, denominati anche “mini-cascate”. La metodologia Agile prevede l’applicazione del ciclo di vita caratteristico del metodo di sviluppo a cascata, ma in una quantità di tempo molto più limitata. I “leader del pensiero”, a cui va il merito di aver definito la metodologia di sviluppo Agile, l’hanno riassunta in 12 principi fondamentali. Di questi principi si discuterà nel Capitolo 7 - I 12 principi Agile, che saranno applicati nella maggior parte delle lezioni presenti in questo e-book.
Scrum - Le Guide Ultime des Méthodes Agiles Essentielles de Scrum!
by The BlokeheadLa pratique agile n'est qu'une des nombreuses méthodes itératives conçues par les leaders du développement informatique dans le passé. Fondamentalement, les méthodes itératives s'opposent à l'approche trop incrémentale de la méthode en cascade, en utilisant une multitude de phases plus petites. Ces phases englobent les principales phases de la méthode en cascade (Exigences, Conception, Implémentation, Vérification et Maintenance); mais en incréments plus petits et plus fréquents. Ceux-ci sont également appelés « mini-cascades ». En essence, la pratique Agile traverse un cycle de vie de la méthode de développement en cascade en un laps de temps beaucoup plus court. Les « maîtres à penser » derrière la définition de la méthode de développement Agile l'ont affinée en utilisant 12 principes clés. Ces principes seront détaillés dans le chapitre 7 - Les 12 principes de l’Agile, et seront appliqués dans la plupart des leçons tout au long de ce livre.
The Sculpted Ear: Aurality and Statuary in the West (Perspectives on Sensory History #2)
by Ryan McCormackSound and statuary have had a complicated relationship in Western aesthetic thought since antiquity. Taking as its focus the sounding statue—a type of anthropocentric statue that invites the viewer to imagine sounds the statue might make—Sculpted Ears rethinks this relationship in light of discourses on aurality emerging within the field of sound studies. Ryan McCormack argues that the sounding statue is best thought of not as an aesthetic object but as an event heard by people and subsequently conceptualized into being through acts of writing and performance.Constructing a history in which hearing plays an integral role in ideas about anthropocentric statuary, McCormack begins with the ancient sculpture of Laocoön, before moving to a discussion of the early modern automaton known as Tipu’s Tiger and the statue of the Commendatore in Mozart’s Don Giovanni. Finally, he examines statues of people from the present and the past, including the singer Josephine Baker, the violinist Aleksandar Nikolov, and the actor Bob Newhart—with each case touching on some of the issues that have historically plagued the aesthetic viability of the sounding statue. McCormack convincingly demonstrates how sounding statues served as important precursors and continuing contributors to modern ideas about the ontology of sound, technologies of sound reproduction, and performance practices blurring traditional divides between music, sculpture, and the other arts.A compelling narrative that illuminates the stories of individual sculptural objects and the audiences that hear them, this book will appeal to anyone interested in the connections between aurality and statues in the Western world, in particular scholars and students of sound studies and sensory history.

The Sea and the Second World War: Maritime Aspects of a Global Conflict (New Perspectives on the Second World War)
by Marcus Faulkner and Alessio PatalanoAn in-depth study of World War II&’s naval operations. &“Rarely does a collection of essays offer so many new and persuasive assessments. Well done!&”—Professor David Snead, Liberty University The sea shaped the course and conduct of World War II, from the first moments of the German invasion of Poland on September 1, 1939, to the Japanese surrender on September 2, 1945. The impact could be felt far beyond the shoreline, as the arms and armies carried across the oceans were ultimately destined to wage war ashore. Populations and industries depended on the raw materials and supplies in a war that increasingly became a contest of national will and economic might. Ultimately, it was the war at sea that linked numerous regional conflicts and theaters of operation into a global war. As the war grew in complexity and covered an increasingly larger geographical area, the organization of the maritime effort and the impact it had on the formulation of national strategy also evolved. This volume illustrates the impact of naval operations on the Second World War by highlighting topics previously neglected in the scholarship. In doing so, it provides new insights into political, strategic, administrative, and operational aspects of the maritime dimension of the war. &“A fine collection of essays by some of the leading scholars in the field. The book addresses comprehensively the vital importance of the sea across a range of theaters during the Second World War through a diverse selection of case studies. The examinations and re-examinations in this volume will be of interest to both scholars and practitioners.&”—Dr. Steven Paget, University of Portsmouth
Sea Basing: Ensuring Joint Force Access From The Sea
by National Research Council of the National AcademiesThe availability of land bases from which to launch and maintain military, diplomatic, and humanitarian relief operations is becoming increasingly uncertain because of physical or political constraints. The ability to operate from a sea base, therefore, is likely to become more and more important. The Defense Science Board recently concluded that Sea Basing will be a critical future joint military capability and that DOD should proceed to develop such capability. Following the DSB report, the Navy requested that the National Research Council (NRC) convene a workshop to assess the science and technology base, both inside and outside the Navy, for developing Sea Basing and to identify R&D for supporting future concepts. This report of the workshop includes an examination of Sea Basing operational concepts; ship and aircraft technology available to make Sea Basing work; and issues involved in creating the sea base as a joint system of systems.
