Exploring the evolution of film preservation and restoration, this book chronicles the journey from the inception of cinema to contemporary digital techniques. It highlights key milestones, challenges faced by preservationists, and the technological advancements that have shaped the industry. Through engaging narratives, it sheds light on the importance of safeguarding cinematic heritage for future generations.
A history of film preservation and restoration, telling the story from the earliest days of the cinema to the modern days of digital restorations. The cinema was invented in the Victorian era, but for the first four decades of its existence almost no effort was made to preserve the millions of feet of celluloid which rolled through the cameras and projectors of the world. As a result, thousands of movies were lost forever. In the 1930s, the first concerted attempts at film preservation were begun by pioneering individuals such as Iris Barry at New York's Museum of Modern Art; Ernest Lindgren at the British Film Institute, and the indomitable Henri Langlois at the Cinémathèque française, a man who performed heroics in occupied France to save the world's cinematic heritage from destruction by the Nazis. The 1980s video boom encouraged the studios finally to instigate asset protection programmes and in the digital age new methods of producing, exhibiting and restoring motion pictures emerged.
Leading Faithful Innovation offers a practical, hands-on approach to addressing the challenges of change in the church and our culture. This three-step process is not another program or add-on to what readers are already doing. It is an ongoing way of following God that allows the Spirit of God to drive the energy among the people of the church.
In this paper we revisit medium to long-run exchange rate determination, focusing on the role of international investment positions. To do so, we develop a new econometric framework accounting for conditional long-run homogeneity in heterogeneous dynamic panel data models. In particular, in our model the long-run relationship between effective exchange rates and domestic as well as weighted foreign prices is a homogeneous function of a country's international investment position. We find rather strong support for purchasing power parity in environments of limited negative net foreign asset to GDP positions, but not outside such environments. We thus argue that the purchasing power parity hypothesis holds conditionally, but not unconditionally, and that international investment positions are an essential component to characterizing this conditionality. Finally, we adduce evidence that whether deterioration of a country's net foreign asset to GDP position leads to a depreciation of that country's effective exchange rate depends on its rate of inflation relative to the rate of inflation abroad as well as its exposure to global shocks
Magnetization dynamics has been a topic of busy research in the recent years as a detailed knowledge of the interplay of the microscopic processes involved in the magnetic damping is still missing or under debate due to their complexity. Furthermore, it is important to control the precessional frequency and the damping of the magnetization in technological relevant materials for applications in the field of spintronics. Therefore, from both, the fundamental and the technical point of view, a deeper insight in the fundamental dynamic processes in magnetic materials is desirable. In this thesis a detailed examination of the influence of rare-earth doping on the magnetization dynamics of magnetic films is presented. Doped Permalloy (Ni80Fe20), iron and cobalt films were investigated. Rare-earth materials (Gadolinium, Dysprosium and Holmium) were chosen as dopants for the studies. For the characterization of the dynamics different techniques, namely (Vector Network Analyzer-) Ferromagnetic Resonance, Time Resolved Magneto Optic Kerr Effect, Brillouin Light Scattering and X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism, were used. The results show that rare earth doping is a reliable way to influence the dynamic behaviour of magnetic materials.
Die unabhängigen Geschichten thematisieren die Herausforderungen der Protagonisten, die unter Schlafstörungen, emotionalen Turbulenzen und unerklärlichen Phänomenen leiden. Angst und Impulshandlungen prägen ihre Erlebnisse, während sie mit physischen und psychischen Schmerzen sowie Verlusten kämpfen. Diese Erzählungen bieten eine intensive Achterbahnfahrt der Gefühle und beleuchten die komplexen inneren Kämpfe der Charaktere.
Die Untersuchung fokussiert sich auf die physikalischen Effekte, die die elektrooptischen Eigenschaften von nitridbasierten LEDs, insbesondere deren Effizienz, beeinflussen. Ein neu entwickeltes physikalisches Modell beschreibt die Strom-Spannungscharakteristik blauer LEDs und verknüpft die LED-Spannung mit der internen Rekombinationsdynamik. Ein zentrales Thema ist der Effizienzabfall bei hohen Strömen, der auf Auger-Rekombination zurückgeführt wird. Zudem wird ein innovatives Konzept vorgestellt, das durch eine dreidimensionale Struktur den Ladungsträgertransport verbessert und somit den Verlustkanal reduziert.
Das Buch sucht nach einer Bewertung der Facility Management Prozesse bei dem
Betrieb und der Nutzung einer Immobilie, aus Sicht aller Beteiligten. Hierfür
werden die Gruppen FM-Dienstleister, Verwalter und FM-Nutzer in Form einer
Umfrage zu allen Prozessen der Gefma 200 befragt. Aus den abgefragten
Kriterien Kundenzufriedenheit, Kostenfaktor, Zeitfaktor und Sicherheit werden
Gruppenprofile erstellt, in denen auf die Bedeutung der Prozesse für die
einzelnen Gruppen eingegangen wird. Alle Rohdaten der Umfrage sind im Buch
enthalten.
