Conspiracy theories about the state, industries, politicians, Illuminati and a secret New World Order are highly popular in western societies - particularly amongst youngsters. In the social sciences, such theories are generally understood as 'cognitive maps' or 'meta-narratives' to make sense of opaque power in globalized institutions. Departing from such general and functionalist theories and critiquing the blind spot for media, this ...
Connected devices are creating a smart world: smart homes, hospitals, and cities, smart cars, logistics and industries. The success of new applications employing wireless devices will heavily depend on the security of these embedded systems. The geographical position of persons and devices can be very relevant information in many applications requiring secure authentication over wireless links. For example, contactless payment solutions and ...
Through Film History the essay film moves fluently across different genres. Throughout the history of the film essay genre we can find multiple interesting cross-pollinations between film noir, science fiction, western and documentary. In this doctoral research I will attempt to focus on the possible cohesion between the detective genre and the essay film.
This research follows from some pertinent ecological questions that are being ...
The first goal of the project is to investigate the impact of the BIM technology on the cooperation between different actors. The second aim is to develop a theoretic appropriation-based innovation aproach.
A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) consists of the free layer (FL), pinned layer (PL), and the antiferromagnetic (AFM) layer. The AFM layer fixes the PL’s magnetization orientation via exchange coupling. The FL and PL are separated by a thin, crystalline MgO barrier. Electrons tunnel through the MgO insulating layer resulting in electrical conductivity, which depends on the relative orientation between the magnetizations of the FL and PL. The ...
Invigorated by digitisation, information flows in society have been fundamentally altered. Not only does content travel faster than ever before, but it comes at us in evergrowing
volumes through many formats and platforms. In a digitised world, researchers may stand out if they can retrieve and analyse complete and accurate dataset. iCANDID, our proposed infrastructure, will provide innovative and integrated access to various types of ...
