Contrast inherent inflow-enhanced multi-phase angiography combining multiple-phase flow-alternating inversion-recovery (CINEMA-FAIR) is an arterial-spin-labeling-based four-dimensional magnetic resonance angiography (4D-MRA) technique. Two neuroradiologists independently evaluated the depiction of the intracranial vasculatures in healthy subjects with 3T 4D-MRA using CINEMA-FAIR. Our results in...

in May, 1950, is a masterpiece of lucidity. From an amount of material " at first sight overwhelming ", there has emerged a clear, concise and extremely readable and interesting account of the present position of children and the cinema. From this two points stand out above the rest : the large number of children affected and the importance of the cinema in many of their lives. Statistical tabl...

Acousmêtre, or the use of offscreen sounds and visual media to stimulate the imagination of the viewers was explored by Fritz Lang or Alfred Hitchcock in cinema. However, it's full potential is still waiting to be explored in interactive virtual environments. Based on the initial investigation, the inclusion of acousmêtre in a virtual environment effectively elicits suspense and increases the v...

Introduction Detailed information on anatomy and hemodynamics in cerebrovascular disorders such as AVM and Moyamoya disease is mandatory for defined diagnosis and treatment planning [1]. DSA may still be a gold standard for diagnostic modality but is otherwise invasive. Contrast-enhanced dynamic MR angiography (CE-dMRA) is a useful technique but poses a risk associated with contrast agent [2]. ...

You Need Violence and Sincerity: Godard and the Manufacturing of a Revolutionary Cinema

We describe the architecture and implementation of our comprehensive multi-platform collaboration framework known as Columbia InterNet Extensible Multimedia Architecture (CINEMA). It provides a distributed architecture for collaboration using synchronous communications like multimedia conferencing, instant messaging, shared web-browsing, and asynchronous communications like discussion forums, s...

This paper describes the configuration of distributed multimedia applications using the CINEMA system. Components, interconnected by links via ports are used to handle multimedia data. Configuration management controls these interconnections, establishes components in threads on different systems and allows an interactive control of data handling functions. We present an object-oriented interfa...

This paper describes a cinema seat booking system and its design. The idea behind the system is to allow public kiosks to be installed in local shopping areas, where members of the general public could pre-book cinema seats for the film of their choice. A discussion follows on the design of a prototype for the system. Requirements specification is discussed and a design and task analysis is car...
