Annotating videos enable users in easily searching and retrieving multimedia contents on the Web. This practice also enables these systems to share multimedia contents as well. Annotations, if used properly, could be among the key factors in improving search efficiency, interoperability, video indexing and multimedia content analysis. However, user-generated annotations for multimedia content still remain inaccessible to the web of data. The available video-annotation systems provide format-dependent annotations in a proprietary manner. In addition, these annotations are just used within a single system and often cannot be reused, shared, linked, and explored by other communities. This paper aims at video searching problems in different traditional and currently available video-sharing web applications with their annotation tools and their limitations and shortcomings. In addition, this paper focuses on pointing out video searching problem in different ontology-based video-sharing web applications and video annotation systems. We are also investigating the distinguishing features of different LOD-based video-sharing web applications and LOD-based video annotation systems as well as focusing on new research trends to make it an access point for further readings. Keywords: Multimedia, linked open data (LOD), annotations, video annotation, semantic video annotation systems, ontology searching and browsing difficult. In order to 1.

  • Chapter 2 EXPLOSIVES
    Chapter 2 EXPLOSIVES This chapter classifies commercial blasting compounds according to their explosive class and type. Initiating devices are listed and described as well. Military explosives are treated separately. The ingredi- ents and more significant properties of each explosive are tabulated and briefly discussed. Data are sum- marized from various handbooks, textbooks, and manufacturers’ technical data sheets. THEORY OF EXPLOSIVES In general, an explosive has four basic characteristics: (1) It is a chemical compound or mixture ignited by heat, shock, impact, friction, or a combination of these conditions; (2) Upon ignition, it decom- poses rapidly in a detonation; (3) There is a rapid release of heat and large quantities of high-pressure gases that expand rapidly with sufficient force to overcome confining forces; and (4) The energy released by the detonation of explosives produces four basic effects; (a) rock fragmentation; (b) rock displacement; (c) ground vibration; and (d) air blast. A general theory of explosives is that the detonation of the explosives charge causes a high-velocity shock wave and a tremendous release of gas. The shock wave cracks and crushes the rock near the explosives and creates thousands of cracks in the rock. These cracks are then filled with the expanding gases. The gases continue to fill and expand the cracks until the gas pressure is too weak to expand the cracks any further, or are vented from the rock. The ingredients in explosives manufactured are classified as: Explosive bases. An explosive base is a solid or a liquid which, upon application or heat or shock, breaks down very rapidly into gaseous products, with an accompanying release of heat energy.

  • Map Systems (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) Fully Integrated Map Systems
    Map Systems (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) FULLY INTEGRATED MAP SYSTEMS Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) from R.A Jones & Co. is the process of changing the environment surrounding sensitive products to promote extended shelf life, enhance quality retention, expand distribution capabilities and minimize damage of perishable products. Although MAP has been used for nearly half a century, demand increased dramatically during the 1990s as consumers called for more natural, minimally processed food products. R.A Jones & Co. is meeting this challenge by delivering innovative technologies that simplify the MAP process and provide exceptional output and performance. The patented, fully integrated vacuumless Dual Laminar Flow system does not contact or touch packages or containers nor does it operate with complex mechanical systems, vacuum pumps or moving parts. MAP supplies gas where needed, as needed, to minimize gas consumption while providing quick start The FP Filling system is designed to fill and seal operation. single serve, preformed cups. A wide range of food, dairy, beverage, personal care and pharmaceutical products can be accommodated in liquid, dry, viscous or particulate form. Integrated Dual Laminar Flow Rail requires a small amount of machine real estate and can be easily adapted to existing lines.

Dressel was shown a crust adhering to the inner surface of an amphora sherd, in which he recognised the scales and bones of fish. Dressel was probably the first archaeologist not only to identify the amphorae used for the storage and transport of fish products, but also to recognise the archaeozoological remains of the commodities once stored in them. At the moment of his discovery, he made the prophetic remark that perhaps future research on the remains of these ancient fish might make it possible to iden- tify the species found in association with the amphora sherds. Now, more than a century later, Dressel’s hope has been fulfilled, and a multidiscipli- nary research project, combining the study of artefacts and biological remains, has become possible. The production, trade and consumption of fish sauces (garum, hallex,2 liquamen, muria) and salted fish (salsamenta3) in the Roman period are amply documented by literary and epigraphic sources;4 by the excavation and analysis of salting installations and salt production sites along the coasts of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, as well as the Atlantic coasts of the Iberian peninsula and Gaul;5 by the nearly ubiquitous remains of the transport amphorae used in the trade;6 and, finally, by the archaeozoological analysis of the 1 Dressel 1879, 93: “It is up to others, whenever it may be possible, to determine to which species of fish these remains belong”.
