In recent years tremendous amounts of audio-visual media have become available to the public and increased the demand for efficient access and retrieval methods. The research community working in content-based media retrieval has mainly focused on specific media types, such as sports videos, news broadcasts, and commercials. A widely neglected media type is historic film provided by film archiv...

[email protected] Abstract – The CdO thin films were deposited using NaOH as the complexing agent by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method. The UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy was used for film characterization. The deposited CdO thin film shows high absorbance in the UV region and low in the visible to near IR region of the spectroscopy. The energy band gap of the deposi...

Abstract A comprehensive description is obtained of the two-dimensional steady gravity-driven flow with prescribed volume flux of a thin film of Newtonian fluid with temperature-dependent viscosity on a stationary horizontal cylinder. When the cylinder is uniformly hotter than the surrounding atmosphere (positive thermoviscosity) the effect of increasing the heat transfer to the surrounding atm...

What is the role of 'self' in self-organization? From Ilya Prigogine has come the assertion of spontaneous self-organization occurring in far from equilibrium circumstances wherein the role of individual behavior or of specific circumstance can play an important role. (Prigogine & Stengers, 1984). From Stuart Kauffman has come 'order for free' or the hypothesis of self-organization wherein if t...
