As audiences are provided opportunities to "feel" the news through
new technological advancements in the field, the very nature of
journalism is changing. These advancements in journalism have
provided a way to reach and connect with unique communities in
innovative and inclusive ways. As in-world journalists have sought
to inform and engage unique communities within the context of their
worlds, real and virtual, issues relevant to the mainstream have
been played out in virtual culture. Redefining Journalism in an Age
of Technological Advancements, Changing Demographics, and Social
Issues investigates the impact of emerging technologies in
journalism and how audiences engage with these technologies and
news content in innovative ways. Identity and community are
analyzed historically and culturally within the larger body of
cultural and media studies. Covering topics such as audience
demographics, robotics, and immersive journalism, this book is a
dynamic resource for journalists, sociologists, politicians,
students and educators of higher education, computer scientists,
communications professionals, researchers, and academicians.
Baking Problems Solved, Second Edition, provides a fully revised
follow-up to the innovative question and answer format of its
predecessor. Presenting a quick bakery problem-solving reference,
Stanley Cauvain returns with more practical insights into the
latest baking issues. Retaining its logical and methodical
approach, the book guides bakers through various issues which arise
throughout the baking process. The book begins with issues found in
the use of raw materials, including chapters on wheat and grains,
flour, and fats, amongst others. It then progresses to the problems
that occur in the intermediate stages of baking, such as the
creation of doughs and batters, and the input of water. Finally, it
delves into the difficulties experienced with end products in
baking by including chapters on bread and fermented products,
cakes, biscuits, and cookies and pastries.
'I see my story as a suite of songs that have a magical connection.
I never understood that connection until I sat down to write. It
was then that the magic started to flow.' Let Love Rule is a work
of deep reflection. Lenny Kravitz looks back at his life with
candor, self-scrutiny, and humour. 'My life is all about
opposites,' he writes. 'Black and white. Jewish and Christian. The
Jackson 5 and Led Zeppelin. I accepted my Gemini soul. I owned it.
I adored it. Yins and yangs mingled in various parts of my heart
and mind, giving me balance and fueling my curiosity and comfort.'
Let Love Rule covers a vast canvas stretching from Manhattan's
Upper East Side, Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant, Los Angeles's
Baldwin Hills, Beverly Hills, and finally to France, England and
Germany. It's the story of a wildly creative kid who, despite tough
struggles at school and extreme tension at home, finds salvation in
music. We see him grow as a musician and ultimately a master
songwriter, producer, and performer. We also see Lenny's spiritual
growth-and the powerful way in which spirit informs his music. The
cast of characters surrounding Lenny is extraordinary: his father,
Sy, a high-powered news executive; his mother, Roxie Roker, a
television star; and Lisa Bonet, the young actress who becomes his
muse. The central character, of course, is Lenny, who, despite his
great aspirational energy, turns down record deal after record deal
until he finds his true voice.The creation of that voice, the same
voice that is able to declare 'Let Love Rule' to an international
audience, is the very heart of this story. 'Whether recording,
performing, or writing a book,' says Lenny, 'my art is about
listening to the inspiration inside and then sharing it with
people. Art must bring the world closer together.'
Theory of Electromagnetic Well Logging provides a much-needed and
complete analytical method for electromagnetic well logging
technology. The book presents the physics and mathematics behind
the effective measurement of rock properties using boreholes,
allowing geophysicists, petrophysisists, geologists and engineers
to interpret them in a more rigorous way. Starting with the
fundamental concepts, the book then moves on to the more classic
subject of wireline induction logging, before exploring the subject
of LWD logging, concluding with new thoughts on electromagnetic
telemetry. Theory of Electromagnetic Well Logging is the only book
offering an in-depth discussion of the analytical and numerical
techniques needed for expert use of those new logging techniques.
Clean Coal Engineering Technology, Second Edition provides
significant information on the major power generation technologies
that aim to utilize coal more efficiently, and with less
environmental impact. With increased coal combustion comes
heightened concerns about coal's impacts on human health and
climate change, so the book addresses the reduction of both carbon
footprints and emissions of pollutants, such as particulate matter,
nitrogen oxides, and mercury. Part 1 provides an essential
grounding in the history of coal use alongside coal chemical and
physical characteristics, worldwide distribution, and health and
environmental impacts. Part 2 introduces the fundamentals of the
major coal utilization technologies and examines the anatomy of a
coal-fired power plant before going on to provide an overview of
clean coal technologies for advanced power generation. Next, users
will find a group of chapters on emissions and carbon management
that have been extensively enlarged and updated for the second
edition, thus reflecting the ever-increasing importance of this
area. The final section of the book focuses on clean coal
technology programs around the world and the future role of coal in
the energy mix. This fully revised and selectively expanded new
edition is a valuable resource for professionals, including
environmental, chemical, and mechanical engineers who seek an
authoritative and thorough one-volume overview of the latest
advances in cleaner power production from coal.
User opinions about service experiences have been extensively
acknowledged to play a key role in influencing the consumption
decisions of other customers. The widespread adoption of internet
technologies has amplified enormously the volume and the potential
impact of such customer-generated content in the form of electronic
word-of-mouth (eWOM). Exploring the Power of Electronic
Word-of-Mouth in the Services Industry is an essential research
book that explores the importance of consumer perception and the
influence of word-of-mouth in the digital world. Featuring a range
of topics such as data mining, online engagement, and social media,
this book is ideal for academicians, researchers, IT developers,
marketers, managers, media specialists, and professionals.
Food is a necessary aspect of human life, and agriculture is
crucial to any country's global economy. Because the food business
is essential to both a country's economy and global economy,
artificial intelligence (AI)-based smart solutions are needed to
assure product quality and food safety. The agricultural sector is
constantly under pressure to boost crop output as a result of
population growth. This necessitates the use of AI applications.
Artificial Intelligence Applications in Agriculture and Food
Quality Improvement discusses the application of AI, machine
learning, and data analytics for the acceleration of the
agricultural and food sectors. It presents a comprehensive view of
how these technologies and tools are used for agricultural process
improvement, food safety, and food quality improvement. Covering
topics such as diet assessment research, crop yield prediction, and
precision farming, this premier reference source is an essential
resource for food safety professionals, quality assurance
professionals, agriculture specialists, crop managers, agricultural
engineers, food scientists, computer scientists, AI specialists,
students, libraries, government officials, researchers, and
academicians.
