Inês (Instituição 3) As Instituições têm necessariamente que transmitir uma boa imagem e a certificação, como tal, tua como um “cartão-de-visita” que dá confiança.

    October 16, 2014 VIA ELECTRONIC FILING Honorable Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, NE Washington, D.C. 20426 Re: ISO New England Inc., Filing of 2015 Capital Budget and Revised Tariff Sheets for Recovery of 2015 Administrative Costs; Docket No. ER15-_______________________ Dear Secretary Bose: Pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act, Part 35 of the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “Commission”), Section 12 of the Participants Agreement among ISO New England Inc., the New England Power Pool and any Individual Participants,1 and Section IV.B.6.1 of the ISO New England Inc. Transmission, Markets and Services Tariff (the “Tariff”),2 ISO New England Inc. (the “ISO” or “ISO-NE”) hereby submits its capital budget for calendar year 2015 (the “2015 Capital Budget”) and a revised Section IV.A of the Tariff to reflect the collection of its administrative costs for calendar year 2015 (the “2015 Administrative Expenses Tariff”). The ISO requests that the Commission accept the 2015 Capital Budget and the 2015 Administrative Expenses Tariff as filed, effective January 1, 2015. Because the ISO is a non-profit entity without equity, it relies totally on collections under its Tariff to fund its operational expenses, including through depreciation. For this reason, the ISO is not in a position to make refunds should the Commission accept the 2015 Capital Budget or the 2015 Administrative Expenses Tariff for filing but set them for hearing subject to refund. That is, the only “refunds” that can be paid to ISO Customers during 2015 would have to be funded by additional charges to other Customers.

  • Publishing Video Online with Open Source Codecs
    Perttu Hotakainen Publishing Video Online with Open Source Codecs Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Engineering Media Engineering Thesis 13 May 2014 Tiivistelmä Author Perttu Hotakainen Title Publishing video online with open source codecs Number of Pages 30 pages Date 27 April 2015 Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Programme Media Engineering Instructor Jonna Eriksson, Senior Lecturer The subject of the thesis is open source technology and its utilisation in video publishing online. The objective of the thesis was to analyse whether or not open source codecs could produce a video good enough to compare with commercial codecs, when it comes to quali- ty and file size. Moreover, the thesis describes a trailer that was made for a game for a Finnish indie game developer. First the thesis goes trough some terms and techniques that belong to the field of study, the history of open source code and software, and their growth among information technology. Secondly, thesis describes how the pre-production of the trailer was carried out with open source software VirtualDub, and how the actual editing, compressing and exporting with Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014, from Adobe Systems were done. The open source codec VP8 from Google and On2 Technologies was found to be on the same level with the commercial H.264 codec in both quality and file size. In conclusion the thesis recommends and encourages the use of open source software for the sake of inno- vation, software environment, and supporting free video compression services.

  • ISO Standards and Working Processes at the United Nations Language Services: a Comparison
    ISO standards and working processes at the United Nations language services: a comparison María Barros Senior Reviser, STS/DGACM, UNHQ United Nations Sabbatical Leave Programme 2017 Abstract International standards, in particular those developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), are a universally recognized means of guaranteeing service quality. In the translation and language industries, the demand for ISO-certified services has been growing steadily since the publication of ISO 17100, on requirements for translation service providers, which addresses translation-specific processes that are essential for ensuring quality. ISO 17100 covers a wide range of aspects, from the competences of translators, revisers and project managers, to technology and quality management requirements, or the need to assess client satisfaction and take corrective action if necessary. All these tasks are performed by the language services of the 1 | Page United Nations, which therefore can benefit from an in-depth analysis of both the standard requirements and the changes implemented by private sector providers that have obtained certification. The present study covers all the tasks included in ISO 17100, with a focus on improving and harmonizing existing working processes and suggesting their establishment where they are lacking. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: First of all, I would like to thank Professor Sue Ellen Wright, from Kent State University, for her collaboration, support and expert guidance in this study. I am also grateful to my colleagues from the Documentation Division of DGACM who kindly agreed to be interviewed and provided me with insights into the daily work of their units: Martine Azubuike (French Translation Service), Kieran Burns (English Translation Service), Luke Croll (Editing Section), José Carlos Fernández-Gancedo and Carmen Peris (Spanish Translation Service), Mario Gatti and Frank Scharm (German Translation Section), Pyotr Knyazev (Russian Translation Service) and Dexin Yuan (Chinese Translation Service).
