  • Ethics for Digital Journalists
    ETHICS FOR DIGITAL JOURNALISTS The rapid growth of online media has led to new complications in journalism ethics and practice. While traditional ethical principles may not fundamentally change when information is disseminated online, applying them across platforms has become more challenging as new kinds of interactions develop between jour- nalists and audiences. In Ethics for Digital Journalists , Lawrie Zion and David Craig draw together the international expertise and experience of journalists and scholars who have all been part of the process of shaping best practices in digital journalism. Drawing on contemporary events and controversies like the Boston Marathon bombing and the Arab Spring, the authors examine emerging best practices in everything from transparency and verifi cation to aggregation, collaboration, live blogging, tweet- ing, and the challenges of digital narratives. At a time when questions of ethics and practice are challenged and subject to intense debate, this book is designed to provide students and practitioners with the insights and skills to realize their potential as professionals. Lawrie Zion is an Associate Professor of Journalism at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, and editor-in-chief of the online magazine upstart. He has worked as a broadcaster with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and as a fi lm journalist for a range of print publications. He wrote and researched the 2007 documentary The Sounds of Aus , which tells the story of the Australian accent. David Craig is a Professor of Journalism and Associate Dean at the University of Oklahoma in the United States. A former newspaper copy editor, he is the author of Excellence in Online Journalism: Exploring Current Practices in an Evolving Environ- ment and The Ethics of the Story: Using Narrative Techniques Responsibly in Journalism .

  • Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium
    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century.

  • Testing of an Optimised Data Bus for Pico- and Nanosatellites Making Cubesats Future-Proof
    Testing of an Optimised Data Bus for Pico- and Nanosatellites Making CubeSats Future-Proof by Stefan van der Linden to obtain the degree of Master of Science at the Delft University of Technology, to be defended publicly on Thursday January 26, 2017 at 14:00. Student Number: 4082346 Project Duration: April 12, 2016 – January 26, 2017 Thesis Committee: Ir. B.T.C. Zandbergen, TU Delft, SSE (Head of Committee) Ir. J. Bouwmeester, TU Delft, SSE (Supervisor) Ir. C. De Wagter, TU Delft, C&S J. Carvajal Godinez, TU Delft, SSE An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/. Abstract The definition of the CubeSat is already nearly two decades old. This results in the trend that a large fraction of CubeSat missions are leaving the domain of (educational) technology demon- stration and entering that of commercial applications. Therefore a larger focus is put on the reliability and compatibility of commercial of the shelf systems and the spacecraft containing them. One subsystem that is more or less fixed since the first CubeSat missions is the serial data bus. This internal network is essential for interconnecting subsystems. However, recent investiga- tions have shown that the industry standard I2C must be re-evaluated due to performance and reliability restrictions. The research contained in this thesis sets off to evaluate these charac- teristics of other data bus standards to propose a possible future-proof data bus architecture. By splitting up the analysis cases into two parts, the choice and design of both parts can be optimised. The Telemetry and Command (TC) bus carries essential commands and house- keeping data between systems, while the Payload (PL) bus is dedicated to high speed bulk data transfers.

  • Mouser Electronics and Grant Imahara Explore Crowd Funding for Innovators in Newest “Engineering Big Ideas” Video
    For Immediate Release Mouser Electronics and Grant Imahara Explore Crowd Funding for Innovators in Newest “Engineering Big Ideas” Video November 20, 2019 – Today Mouser Electronics Inc. and celebrity engineer Grant Imahara unveiled the third video in the Engineering Big Ideas series, part of their award- winning Empowering Innovation Together™ program. To watch the third video in the series, go to https://mou.sr/EIT2019-3. In part three, Imahara meets with Josh Lifton, President of Crowd Supply, a successful crowd funding platform based in Portland, Ore. Crowd Supply partners with creators and entrepreneurs who utilize the service to tap pools of small contributions from the public to fund ideas. The company also provides mentorship from their staff of product development veterans, filling a role similar to a business incubator. “In the prototype stage, creators are often plagued by funding challenges and face design bottlenecks,” says Glenn Smith, President and CEO of Mouser Electronics. “Platforms like Crowd Supply give designers access to a wealth of monetary and intellectual resources, opening avenues to innovation not previously accessible.” “By helping address major issues in funding and launching products in general, Crowd Supply helps level the playing field for creators by sharing these essential resources,” adds Imahara. Imahara’s and Lifton’s conversation takes a look at the processes and resources available to help innovators best determine whether it’s feasible to manufacture their ideas. Throughout their discussion, they examine the process of taking an idea from concept through to prototype, to eventually a product that someone will want to buy or invest in.

    boards & solutions + Combined Print Magazine for the European Embedded Market June 03/15 SPECIAL ISSUE Internet-of-Things Wearable Devices.indd 2 24/04/15 12:18 VIEWPOINT Dear Readers, ere is now doubt - a new emerg- ing Megatrend called the Internet of ings (IoT) is going propel- ling the entire electronics indus- try. According to the de nition of Wikipedia “ e Internet of ings is the network of physical objects or things embedded with electron- ics, so ware, sensors and connec- tivity to enable it to achieve greater value and service by exchanging data with the manufacturer, opera- tor and/or other connected devices. Each thing is uniquely identi able through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infra- structure.” e Internet of ings is by another de nition “a group of physical objects with embedded sensor technology that communi- cates an internal state or external environments to a network”. According to Gartner, there will be nearly 26 billion devices on the Inter- net of ings by 2020. ABI Research estimates that more than 30 billion devices will be wirelessly connected to the Internet of ings (Internet of Everything) by 2020. As per a recent survey and study done by Pew Research Internet Project, a large majority of the technology experts and engaged Internet users who responded agreed with the notion that the Internet/Cloud of ings, embedded and wearable computing will have widespread and bene cial e ects by 2025. It is, as such clear that the IoT will consist of a very large number of devices being connected to the Internet.
