(Advisor); Menendez, Elisa S. (Co-Advisor). Improving the Quality of the User Experience by Query Answer Modification. Rio de Janeiro, 2021. 55p. Dissertação de Mestrado – Departamento de Informática, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro. The answer of a query, submitted to a database or a knowledge base, is often long and may contain redundant data. The user is frequently forced to browse thru a long answer, or to refine and repeat the query until the answer reaches a manageable size. Without proper treatment, consuming the query answer may indeed become a tedious task. This study then proposes a process that modifies the presentation of a query answer to improve the quality of the user’s experience, in the context of an RDF knowledge base. The process reorganizes the original query answer by applying heuristics to summarize the results. The original SPARQL query is modified and an exploration over the result set starts thru a guided navigation over predicates and its facets. The article also includes experiments based on RDF versions of MusicBrainz, enriched with DBpedia data, and IMDb, each with over 200 million RDF triples. The experiments use sample queries from well-known benchmarks. Keywords Question Answering (QA); Natural Language Query (NLQ); Aggrega- tion; RDF; Semantic Web. Resumo Pinheiro, João Pedro V.; Casanova, Marco A.; Menendez, Elisa S.. Melhorando a Qualidade da Experiência do Usuário através da Modificação da Resposta da Consulta. Rio de Janeiro, 2021. 55p. Dissertação de Mestrado – Departamento de Informática, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro. A resposta de uma consulta, submetida a um banco de dados ou base de conhecimento, geralmente é longa e pode conter dados redundantes. O usuário é frequentemente forçado a navegar por uma longa resposta, ou refinar e repetir a consulta até que a resposta atinja um tamanho gerenciável. Sem o tratamento adequado, consumir a resposta da consulta pode se tornar uma tarefa tediosa. Este estudo, então, propõe um processo que modifica a apresentação da resposta da consulta para melhorar a qualidade de experiência do usuário, no contexto de uma base de conhecimento RDF. O processo reorganiza a resposta da consulta original aplicando heurísticas para comprimir os resultados. A consulta SPARQL original é modificada e uma exploração sobre o conjunto de resultados começa através de uma navegação guiada sobre predicados e suas facetas. O artigo também inclui experimentos baseados em versões RDF do MusicBrainz, enriquecido com dados do DBpedia, e IMDb, cada um com mais de 200 milhões de triplas RDF. Os experimentos utilizam exemplos de consultas de benchmarks conhecidos. Palavras-chave Pergunta e Resposta (QA); Consulta em Linguagem Natural (NLQ); Agregação; RDF; Web Semântica.

    TONE PARALLELS IN MUSIC FOR FILM: THE COMPOSITIONAL WORKS OF TERENCE BLANCHARD IN THE DIEGETIC UNIVERSE AND A NEW WORK FOR STUDIO ORCHESTRA BY BRIAN HORTON Johnathan B. Horton B.A., B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2017 APPROVED: Richard DeRosa, Major Professor Eugene Corporon, Committee Member John Murphy, Committee Member and Chair of the Division of Jazz Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Horton, Johnathan B. Tone Parallels in Music for Film: The Compositional Works of Terence Blanchard in the Diegetic Universe and a New Work for Studio Orchestra by Brian Horton. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2017, 46 pp., 1 figure, 24 musical examples, bibliography, 49 titles. This research investigates the culturally programmatic symbolism of jazz music in film. I explore this concept through critical analysis of composer Terence Blanchard's original score for Malcolm X directed by Spike Lee (1992). I view Blanchard's music as representing a non- diegetic tone parallel that musically narrates several authentic characteristics of African- American life, culture, and the human condition as depicted in Lee's film. Blanchard's score embodies a broad spectrum of musical influences that reshape Hollywood's historically limited, and often misappropiated perceptions of jazz music within African-American culture. By combining stylistic traits of jazz and classical idioms, Blanchard reinvents the sonic soundscape in which musical expression and the black experience are represented on the big screen.

  • MXB Virtual Tour
    Projects & Proposals > Manhattan > Virtual Tour of Malcolm X Boulevard Archived Content This page describes Malcolm X Boulevard as it appeared in 2001. The tour was developed as part of the Malcolm X Boulevard Streetscape Enhancement Project. Welcome! Welcome to Malcolm X Boulevard in the heart of Harlem! This online virtual tour highlights the landmarks of Harlem and is available in printable text form. Introduction: This tour was developed by the Department of City Planning as part of its Malcolm X Boulevard Streetscape Enhancement Project. The project, which extends from West 110th to West 147th Street, seeks to complement the ongoing capital improvements for Malcolm X Boulevard and take advantage of the growing tourist interest in Harlem. The project proposes a program of streetscape and pedestrian space improvements, including new pedestrian lighting, new sidewalk and median landscaping and the provision of pedestrian amenities, such as seating and pergolas. The Department has been working with Cityscape Institute, the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone, the New York City Department of Transportation, and the Department of Design and Construction, and has received implementation funds totaling $1.2 million through the federal TEA21 Enhancement Funding program for the proposed pedestrian lighting improvements. As one element of the project, the Department developed this guided tour of the boulevard and neighboring blocks. The tour provides an overview of local area history, and highlights architecturally significant and landmarked buildings, noteworthy cultural and ecclesiastical institutions and other points of interest. A listing of former famous jazz clubs, such as the Cotton Club and Savoy Ballroom, is also provided. Envisioned as an information resource for residents and visitors, the tour is also available in printable text format for use as a hand-held guide for a self-guided walking tour along the boulevard.

When a man dies, especially a man like Malcolm X, those who survive him often feel compelled to study his life. My own reading of The Autobiography of Malcolm! indicates that the most important factor in his career may have been his ability to modify his own life greatly. This man made conscious changes in his existence. The four names he used symbolize these changes. The four distinct yet interrelated lives, and the names he lived them under, make up the pattern of his life.

  • (FBI) Malcolm X Surveillance File: 1953-1971 No. Of
    ARCHIVES RECORD film RG539 United States. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Malcolm X Surveillance File: 1953-1971 No. of Items: *reels of microfilm t HISTORICAL NOTE The FBI's surveillance file of Malcolm X was compiled during the years 1953 to 1971. Malcolm X, born Malcolm K. Little in Omaha, Nebraska on May 19, 1925, was the most outspoken Black nationalist of his era. While serving a six and one-half year prison sentence in Massachusetts, Malcolm Little converted to the Nation of Islam sect founded by Elijah Muhammad. Upon his release from prison in 1953, he adopted the name Malcolm X and became a travelling missionary for Elijah Muhammad, preaching the doctrine of Black separation and Black self-reliance. In December 1963, Malcolm X was suspended from the Nation of Islam for one or more of these reasons: his popularity was seen as a threat to Elijah Muhammad; he learned of and was about to reveal Elijah Muhammad's sexual indiscretions; or because of controversial remarks that he made after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. On March 12, 1964, Malcolm X formed the Muslim Mosque, Inc., a Black nationalist organization. During a pilgrimage to Mecca, he converted to orthodox Islam, and abandoned concepts of racial antagonism. Forming the Organization of Afro-American Unity, he counseled the need for human brotherhood and international cooperation. Malcolm X was assassinated in New York on February 21, 1965. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE This collection consists of one series of material: 1) FBI Surveillance Film, 1953-1971. Contained on +e-"tawreels of microfilm, this material consists of information on Malcolm X compiled by the FBI.

    CANDLEWICK PRESS TEACHERS’ GUIDE aNOVEL by Ilyasah Shabazz with Kekla Magoon ABOUT THE BOOK Malcolm Little is lost, his spirit broken. His father has been murdered, his mother taken away by state officials bent on destroying his family, and Malcolm separated from his siblings. Trouble seems to find him wherever he goes . and some of it is his own making. Choosing the excitement of Boston and New York over the loving home and guidance of his half-sister, Malcolm slides into the streets of Roxbury and Harlem at age fourteen. From running numbers to smoking dope to small-time hustling, Malcolm tries everything the street life has to offer. But he cannot outrun the law — or his grief — forever, and he ultimately ends up in prison. There Malcolm comes to terms with his past and changes the course of his life. Out of the pages of history, we see how Malcolm’s past leads him to become a humanitarian leader representing HC: 978-0-7636-6967-6 new hope for all races: the man now known as Malcolm X.
