Attention to media has been widely studied. Often when studying attention, researchers have not distinguished to what the participants are attending – media form or media content of the presentation. This is also true of many studies on telepresence where the interaction of media form and content has been found to influence the sub-dimensions of telepresence reported by participants. However, s...

US youths’ lives are increasingly divided between the academic requirements of school and immersion in new media and culture outside school. Educators can help bridge in-school and out-ofschool literacy practices by encouraging students to engage with hybrid texts that draw on multiple modes of representation. In this paper, we analyze the ‘disconnect’ between academic literacy and new media, d...

In this article, the author discusses her virtual reality installation The Parallel Dimension and goes on to explore the conflicts of identity experienced when a person is confronted with VR as a total immersion. She suggests that the various questions arising through this experience may lead us to a more ambivalent concept of the self.

lilium ledebourii (baker) boiss. (liliaceae) is a critically endangered lily species native tonorthern iran, where it is protected by law. in order to develop a cost effective method for largescalepropagation, the effects of three culture systems (solid, liquid and temporary immersion)and two types of cytokinins [6-benzyladenine (ba) and thidiazuron (tdz)] were studied onthe in vitro plant rege...

The level of presence, or immersion, a person feels with media influences the effect media has on them. This project examines both the causes and consequences of presence in the context of violent video game play. In a between subjects design, 227 participants were randomly assigned to play either a violent or a non violent video game. Causal modeling techniques revealed two separate paths to p...

Environment safety measurements have resulted in use of peroxide as bleaching chemical in place of chlorine and chlorine dioxide. Concentration and composition of chemicals affects corrosion aspects, the suitability of existing plant metallurgy and materials of construction of bleach plants. Accordingly long term immersion and electrochemical corrosion tests were conducted on stainless steel 30...

The paper focuses on the experiment of human computer interaction in an immersive and interactive 3D structure by students during their courses. We want this article to examine the real effect of the New Technologies on the students and in particular how virtual reality could improve education, specifically in the ease of reception of knowledge. We study in particular the effects of the virtual...

The aim of this research is to synthesise carbon aerogels and to compare the differences in their textural, morphological and chemical properties when synthesised in basic and acidic media, and with two different types of pretreatment carbonization and activation with CO2. Four samples are prepared and characterised using TGA-DTA, SEM, DRX, isotherm determination of N2 adsorption-desorption at ...
