We consider a fiber made of a soft elastic material, encased in a stiff elastic shell (core-shell geometry). If the core and shell dimensions are mismatched, e.g., because the core shrinks while the shell does not, but the two remain attached, then an elastic instability is triggered whereby wrinkles may appear on the shell. The wrinkle orientation may be longitudinal (along the fiber axis), polar (along the fiber perimeter), or a mixture of both, depending on the fiber's geometrical and material parameters. Here we investigate under what conditions longitudinal or polar wrinkling will occur.

The calculation of the dose is one of the key steps in radiotherapy planning1-5. This calculation should be as accurate as possible, and over the years it became feasible through the implementation of new algorithms to calculate the dose on the treatment planning systems applied in radiotherapy. When a breast tumour is irradiated, it is fundamental a precise dose distribution to ensure the planning target volume (PTV) coverage and prevent skin complications. Some investigations, using breast cases, showed that the pencil beam convolution algorithm (PBC) overestimates the dose in the PTV and in the proximal region of the ipsilateral lung. However, underestimates the dose in the distal region of the ipsilateral lung, when compared with analytical anisotropic algorithm (AAA). With this study we aim to compare the performance in breast tumors of the PBC and AAA algorithms.

Os jornais não acompanham o movimento de descentralização cultural iniciado na última década do séc. XX e descuida a programação realizada nos equipamentos espalhados um pouco por todo o país e pelos diversos grupos artísticos e culturais a desenvolver o seu trabalho fora de Lisboa. Que estratégias têm seguido esses equipamentos para contornar esta situação, para ganhar visibilidade de outras formas. Sabendo que a imprensa tem um papel importante ao incitar à ação e em formar opiniões e atitudes sobre os assuntos, aposta-se na imprensa regional e em meios cuja produção e atualização depende das próprias estruturas, nomeadamente sites e presença nas redes sociais. No entanto, se se quer atrair visitantes de fora da região, a imprensa continua a conseguir fixar o interesse e trazer público, menor é o papel que desempenha junto dos residentes. Levar os residentes a participar é algo que passa por outras estratégias de comunicação que não a imprensa nacional, e é nessas estratégias que muitas vezes os responsáveis por estas estruturas se centram, desenvolvendo e promovendo outras fontes de experiência.

Número dedicado à reflexão sobre o papel das imagens visuais no jornalismo contemporâneo. Os contributos dos diferentes autores aqui publicados permitem confirmar a importância de imagem como objeto de estudo, sobretudo no campo jornalístico, onde o seu potencial enquanto meio e linguagem continua a nortear as discussões.

Na Escola Superior de Comunicação Social (ESCS), em Lisboa, o jornalismo, a publicidade, o marketing e as relações públicas não estão em crise, É que, todos os anos, há sempre dez vezes mais candidatos do que vagas. Jorge Veríssimo, presidente da instituição, diz que a componente tecnológica e o ambiente profissional são o segredo de uma escola que tornou obrigatória uma cadeira de Empreendedorismo. Sobre o futuro dos media, diz oque passa cada vez mais por uma interligação entre jornalismo e marcas.

Broadcast networks that are characterised by having different physical layers (PhL) demand some kind of traffic adaptation between segments, in order to avoid traffic congestion in linking devices. In many LANs, this problem is solved by the actual linking devices, which use some kind of flow control mechanism that either tell transmitting stations to pause (the transmission) or just discard frames. In this paper, we address the case of token-passing fieldbus networks operating in a broadcast fashion and involving message transactions over heterogeneous (wired or wireless) physical layers. For the addressed case, real-time and reliability requirements demand a different solution to the traffic adaptation problem. Our approach relies on the insertion of an appropriate idle time before a station issuing a request frame. In this way, we guarantee that the linking devices’ queues do not increase in a way that the timeliness properties of the overall system turn out to be unsuitable for the targeted applications.

This paper describes how MPEG-4 object based video (obv) can be used to allow selected objects to be inserted into the play-out stream to a specific user based on a profile derived for that user. The application scenario described here is for personalized product placement, and considers the value of this application in the current and evolving commercial media distribution market given the huge emphasis media distributors are currently placing on targeted advertising. This level of application of video content requires a sophisticated content description and metadata system (e.g., MPEG-7). The scenario considers the requirement for global libraries to provide the objects to be inserted into the streams. The paper then considers the commercial trading of objects between the libraries, video service providers, advertising agencies and other parties involved in the service. Consequently a brokerage of video objects is proposed based on negotiation and trading using intelligent agents representing the various parties. The proposed Media Brokerage Platform is a multi-agent system structured in two layers. In the top layer, there is a collection of coarse grain agents representing the real world players – the providers and deliverers of media contents and the market regulator profiler – and, in the bottom layer, there is a set of finer grain agents constituting the marketplace – the delegate agents and the market agent. For knowledge representation (domain, strategic and negotiation protocols) we propose a Semantic Web approach based on ontologies. The media components contents should be represented in MPEG-7 and the metadata describing the objects to be traded should follow a specific ontology. The top layer content providers and deliverers are modelled by intelligent autonomous agents that express their will to transact – buy or sell – media components by registering at a service registry. The market regulator profiler creates, according to the selected profile, a market agent, which, in turn, checks the service registry for potential trading partners for a given component and invites them for the marketplace. The subsequent negotiation and actual transaction is performed by delegate agents in accordance with their profiles and the predefined rules of the market.

This paper proposes a novel business model to support media content personalisation: an agent-based business-to-business (B2B) brokerage platform for media content producer and distributor businesses. Distributors aim to provide viewers with a personalised content experience and producers wish to en-sure that their media objects are watched by as many targeted viewers as possible. In this scenario viewers and media objects (main programmes and candidate objects for insertion) have profiles and, in the case of main programme objects, are annotated with placeholders representing personalisation opportunities, i.e., locations for insertion of personalised media objects. The MultiMedia Brokerage (MMB) platform is a multiagent multilayered brokerage composed by agents that act as sellers and buyers of viewer stream timeslots and/or media objects on behalf of the registered businesses. These agents engage in negotiations to select the media objects that best match the current programme and viewer profiles.
