This paper explores how the concept of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is constructed through Spanish media and documentary films and how it is represented. The article analyses three documentary films and the cultural and social contexts in and from which they emerged: Solé ́s Bucarest: la memòria perduda [Bucharest: Memory Lost] (2007), Bosch ́s Bicicleta, cullera, poma [Bicycle, Spoon, Apple] (2010) ...

The paper takes a document-oriented view of sourcecode transformation and describes how an underlying XML representation for source code can be used to support refactorings. The method preserves all documentary structure of the source and is applied in a straightforward manner.

Many tools designed to help programmers view and manipulate source code exploit the formal structure of the programming language. Language-based tools use information derived via linguistic analysis to offer services that are impractical for purely text-based tools. In order to be effective, however, language-based tools must be designed to account properly for the documentary structure of sour...

This article discusses the presentation of scientific findings by documentary, without the process of peer review. We use, as an example, PBS's "The Syphilis Enigma," in which researchers presented novel evidence concerning the origin of syphilis that had never been reviewed by other scientists. These "findings" then entered the world of peer-reviewed literature through citations of the documen...

The concept of a documentary scene was inferred from the audio-visual characteristics of certain documentary videos. It was observed that the amount of information from the visual component alone was not enough to convey a semantic context to most portions of these videos, but a joint observation of the visual component and the audio component conveyed a better semantic context. From the observ...

This paper presents an interactive production model for nonfiction multimedia, referred to as interactive documentary. We discuss the design of ontologies for authoring interactive documentary. A working prototype supports the use of reasoning for retrieving, composing, and displaying media resources in real-time. A GUI is designed to facilitate concept-based navigation which enables queries ac...

BACKGROUND Schoolboys (N = 156, M age = 13 years) participated in a disability awareness training program that included guest speakers (athletes from the Paralympics and the Special Olympics), a documentary about people with a disability, a disability simulation activity, and factual information about different disabilities. METHOD Participants were allocated to a training program or a contro...

This article argues that an emphasis on how spectators piece together documentary structure is more useful than nonfiction film theory’s focus on epistemology and categorization. By examining individual texts such as The Aristocrats, critics can develop a set of devices that provide a better explanation of documentary comprehension at the local level. As an example, this article shows how a spe...

− The currently established documentary standards [1, 2] for primary accelerometer calibration pro­ vide a characterisation of the device under test which is not well suited for the application to transient excitations. The model based parameter identification (MBPI) introduced over the last years [3, 4] may provide better means of char­ acterisation for such types of applications. The method w...
