  • Music on PBS: a History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station
    Music on PBS: A History of Music Programming at a Community Radio Station Rochelle Lade (BArts Monash, MArts RMIT) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2021 Abstract This historical case study explores the programs broadcast by Melbourne community radio station PBS from 1979 to 2019 and the way programming decisions were made. PBS has always been an unplaylisted, specialist music station. Decisions about what music is played are made by individual program announcers according to their own tastes, not through algorithms or by applying audience research, music sales rankings or other formal quantitative methods. These decisions are also shaped by the station’s status as a licenced community radio broadcaster. This licence category requires community access and participation in the station’s operations. Data was gathered from archives, in‐depth interviews and a quantitative analysis of programs broadcast over the four decades since PBS was founded in 1976. Based on a Bourdieusian approach to the field, a range of cultural intermediaries are identified. These are people who made and influenced programming decisions, including announcers, program managers, station managers, Board members and the programming committee. Being progressive requires change. This research has found an inherent tension between the station’s values of cooperative decision‐making and the broadcasting of progressive music. Knowledge in the fields of community radio and music is advanced by exploring how cultural intermediaries at PBS made decisions to realise eth station’s goals of community access and participation. ii Acknowledgements To my supervisors, Jock Given and Ellie Rennie, and in the early phase of this research Aneta Podkalicka, I am extremely grateful to have been given your knowledge, wisdom and support.

  • The Role of Rail in Unlocking Housing Supply London First Mark Carne CEO Network Rail 6 September 2016
    The role of rail in unlocking housing supply London First Mark Carne CEO Network Rail 6 September 2016 Britain’s railway is a success story Rail is seldom out of the news. Over the last few months there has been an inspection of the British rail industry in the media, driven by the debate around nationalisation. Britain's railway is a huge success story. Over the last 20 years, the number of people travelling by rail in this country has doubled. This comes after almost a century of decline. We’ve witnessed a massive transformation in Britain's rail. Today, we're Europe's fastest growing railway and in the last decade, we've reduced the cost of running the infrastructure of Britain's railway by 40 percent. And we’re investing more in our railways than any other country in Europe, and we're Europe's safest railway too. But we are facing a capacity challenge This is a remarkable success story on which we can now build. But there is a challenge. A result of the success of Britain's railways is that the passenger growth we’ve seen is beginning to put serious strain on the network. Almost any major city today will have trains coming into it where passengers have had to stand for extended periods of time. So, we must address how we best support the country to unlock economic growth potential from the people who would like to use our rail network - but are currently put off by congestion, and from people who do already travel on the network - but would like to be more productive while on it.

  • A Relational Syntax Study on Movement and Space at King’S Cross and Piccadilly Circus Underground Stations, London, UK
    Movement Navigator: A Relational Syntax Study on Movement and Space at King’s Cross and Piccadilly Circus Underground Stations, London, UK Rapit Suvanajata, Ph.D. ´Ã. þԱµÂì ÊØÇÃóЪ¯ Faculty of Architecture, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang ¤³Ðʶһѵ¡ÃÃÁÈÒʵÃì ʶҺѹ෤â¹âÅÂÕ¾ÃШÍÁà¡ÅÒà¨é Ò¤é س·ËÒÃÅÒ´¡Ãкѧ Abstract The article explores the design and analytical method Relational Syntax [1], using both a syntactical approach as well as on-site observations. The architecture of King’s Cross and Piccadilly Circus Underground stations in London is used as the laboratory in which a theoretical discussion on movement and dimensional relations in architectural space is conducted. The two stations are among the most well-known and used in the London Underground system. Observations were made at these highly-used stations in order to establish an overall understanding of the spatial mechanism through social and natural movement. Considering the case studies as both texts and experiences, the article shows that spatial analysis and bodily movement can be explained, compared and put into sets of relations that can be pre-established or scripted during architects’ design activities. It is argued that the concept of ‘script’ [2] can be used bi-directionally in both the design and analysis of architecture. The research and arguments presented in this paper are being developed to form the basis of an application tool. Based on the theory of Relational Syntax, this application tool can be used to process building requirements generated from the design or analysis of a piece of architecture into scripts in order to systematically and aesthetically describe and generate spatial relations in buildings.

  • An Ipswich Case Study: How Does Local Broadcast Media Value, Esteem and Provide Voice to a Rapidly Changing Urban Centre?
    An Ipswich Case Study: How Does Local Broadcast Media value, esteem and provide voice to a rapidly changing urban centre? Doctor of Philosophy Ashley Paul Jones Graduate Diploma of Media Production Master of Arts in Media Production 2016 i ABSTRACT Radio is part of our everyday life experience in various rooms around the home, in the car and as a portable device. Its impact and connection with the local community was immediate since its inception in Australia in 1923. Radio became directly part of the City of Ipswich in 1935 with the birth of 4IP (Ipswich). Local people were avid consumers of broadcast media and recognised that, in particular, 4IP was something that they could both participate in and consume. It gave people a voice; historically 4IP broadcast local choirs, soloists, produced youth programs and generally reflected the community in which it existed. The radio station moved out of Ipswich and established itself in Brisbane during 1970s. This move resulted in a loss of a voice in the local area through broadcast radio. Similarly, the place, Ipswich City changed dramatically and is confronted with significant population growth and the emergence of an old and new Ipswich that is potentially problematic for the local council to manage. The aim is to provide a sense of localism that was strongly present in the early decades of Ipswich as evidenced by the interactions with 4IP; the identity of the two is remarkable because of their parallel flux. My thesis will provide a unique insight into the relationship between a community, that community’s membership and local radio services.

  • Transport Committee 1 December 2005 Transcript of Item 5 – Crime
    Appendix Transport Committee 1 December 2005 Transcript of Item 5 – Crime and Safety at Suburban Railway Stations Roger Evans (Chair): Can I welcome our witnesses to the Committee this morning, to talk about crime and safety at suburban railway stations. We have a whole bunch of questions to ask you this morning about this important issue. Can I just start with our witnesses from TfL, Mr Burton we have noticed, looking at the things we have been provided, an increase in levels of crime at stations in suburban London, both on the Underground and on surface rail. Could you just tell us a little bit about policing policy on the Underground and how that differs from what goes on on the surface railway? Steve Burton (TfL Transport and Policing Enforcement Directorate): Essentially, over the last two to three years, we have invested additional resources – 200 additional officers on the network. We have used those officers to do, probably, what, in traditional terms, would be termed 'beat police'. We have broken the Underground network up into 43 units, which are called groups of stations, which is mapped out to the London Underground management structures. We have then put a number of local Police Constables (PCs), who only work in those geographic areas. Therefore, they have some stations that they are responsible for and they are known locally to the staff and the passengers. It is a bit similar to the Safer Neighbourhood scheme within the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). We like it, because it provides local accountability and the officers get to know the local areas and they work very closely with local management.

  • A Bounded Measure for Estimating the Benefit of Visualization
    A Bounded Measure for Estimating the Benefit of Visualization Min Chen, Member, IEEE, Mateu Sbert, Alfie Abdul-Rahman, Member, IEEE, Deborah Silver Visual Mapping with Topological Abstraction Visual Mapping with a Volume Rendering Integral Color Pixel Color Opacity Color Pixel Color Opacity ...... Color Pixel Color Opacity (a) mapping from different sets of voxel values to the same pixel color (b) mapping from different geographical paths to the same line segment Fig. 1. Visual encoding typically features many-to-one mapping from data to visual representations, hence information loss. The significant amount of information loss in volume visualization and metro maps suggests that viewers not only can abide the information loss but also benefit from it. Measuring such benefits can lead to new advancements of visualization, in theory and practice. Abstract—Information theory can be used to analyze the cost-benefit of visualization processes. However, the current measure of benefit contains an unbounded term that is neither easy to estimate nor intuitive to interpret. In this work, we propose to revise the existing cost-benefit measure by replacing the unbounded term with a bounded one. We examine a number of bounded measures that include the Jenson-Shannon divergence and a new divergence measure formulated as part of this work. We use visual analysis to support the multi-criteria comparison, narrowing the search down to those options with better mathematical properties. We apply those remaining options to two visualization case studies to instantiate their uses in practical scenarios, while the collected real world data further informs the selection of a bounded measure, which can be used to estimate the benefit of visualization.

  • Music in Liquid Forms: a Framework for the Creation of Reactive Music
    Music in Liquid Forms: A Framework for the Creation of Reactive Music Recordings Submitted for Doctor of Philosophy in Music 2018 Keith Hennigan Supervisors: Martin Adams & Simon Trezise Declaration I hereby declare that this thesis is entirely my own work; no part of it has been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this, or any other, University. I agree that the library of Trinity College Dublin may lend or copy this thesis upon request. Signed ____________________ (Keith Hennigan) Date ____________________ (July 2018) Summary The aim of this thesis is to research and propose possible methods and models for the creation and dissemination of what shall be defined as liquid music recordings. This will result in the establishment of a sound theoretical basis for the creation of such works, with practical demonstrations provided to showcase the proposed approach and methodology. It was initially intended that this thesis would focus on the creation of one liquid music authoring system or standard. However, after researching the field, it is apparent that the creation of a single liquid system or format is of little import or benefit. A number of previous efforts have been made, each offering only one viewpoint on the compositional paradigm of liquid music and necessarily limited in some way. What is needed for the field is a broader overview. For example, the proposition of the BRONZE format (see Chapter Three) as a new format for music, though laudable, falls short due to the nature of the work: offering only a single inherent style of generative music, this programming imparts a limited aesthetic onto any musical work written for it.

Editorial From full steam ahead to a red light, the massive programme of railway improvements has unsurprisingly hit the buffers as costs are overrunning due to construction problems, planning issues and a shortage of skilled craftsmen in the field of railway electrification.
