The Cloud for Digital Photography

CONVENTIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY: STORAGE & MANAGEMENT ISSUES The advent of photography in late 1830s (Roosa, n.d.) has mandated later introduction and development of memory storage methods. The capacity for cameras to preserve in photographs personal and collective memories has made permanency a more urgent issue as photographs became household collectibles. Moreover, as development methods improved, older photographs (developed using outdated methods) required more maintenance during storage, particularly photographs produced by acetate negatives, chromogenic color film, polyester film and instant color print processes (Roosa). The deterioration of photographs by poor environmental storage conditions, poor storage enclosures, inadequate handling and shelving conditions, and ...

Technology

Big data The amount of data has been exploding. Organizations capture trillions bytes of relevant to their operations information, sensors, multimedia and individuals also generate enormous quantities of data. Big data is a set of data from both traditional as well as digital sources that can be used for continuous discovery and analysis. The data can contain unstructured and multi-structured data. Unstructured data is the data stored not in organized system, it cannot easily be interpreted by traditional databases or data models, and usually it consists of large amounts of text. The example of unstructured data is social media ...

Supply chain management (SCM) is simply the process of directing, controlling and monitoring the movement of goods from their point of origin through to manufacturing, production and distribution to the point of consumption by the final consumer (Liang, 5). Like many other areas of management, the practice has undergone radical changes over the past two decades. The changes, most of which are propelled by technological advancements, range from cheaper manufacturing methods to shorter and more effective supply chains. Further, supply chain options have complicating sourcing decisions. The fact that these changes have occurred in the last two decades, more ...

Distinguishing between data sets

Data sets are a defined set of information that has been collected from recorded data from health care centers. This information is recorded either in health care records or after research by organizations. It is then structured, labeled, and classified. From this, medical practitioners and caregivers can make informed decisions from studying of the information (Provost & Murray, 2011). All these data sets have common components. Firstly, static data such a person’s date of birth is recorded. This information does not change. Dynamic data are also recorded, which often fluctuates within a day, according to a patient’s progress. ...

Psychology: An Experiment carried Out to Prove the Weber’s Just Noticeable Difference by Using Varying Line Lengths as Stimulus.

Introduction The Weber’s law is sometimes called the difference threshold law or just the difference threshold. However, several scholars also refer to it as the noticeable difference. The noticeable difference is what is termed as the total amount of stimulus intensity that should be changed in order to produce or give a significant variation in the sensory organs; nonetheless, it is a condition that is also termed as the experience of the sensory systems (Kollmeier, Brand & Meyer, 2008). Ernst Weber was a 19th century and experimental psychologists whose works related to were quite reputable in various topics of ...

CIO Survey: Significance

The growing complexities of business functions mandate surveying of as much stakeholders as possible for more informed decisions. For current purposes, CIOs are not main stakeholders in HMIS. If anything, CIOs are IT experts having broad experience in information management across different business functions. By managing information management system recommendations, bidding, installation, implementation, integration, maintenance, recovery / backup, and/or update, CIOs are one most engaged stakeholder in HMIS and hence surveying CIOs. Further, given increasing integration of HMIS into day-to-day operations of healthcare ecosystems, CIOs are becoming at critical cross points of healthcare provision.

Data Analysis and Analytics Research

Introduction Big raw data or information is not going to be of great use if not processed properly. What a company or an organization should do is to carefully analyze the raw data they will gather. According to Nelli (2015), data analysis is defined as a process that consists of various steps, which involves the transformation and processing of data in order to generate data visualizations and make forecasts, which are based on mathematical models that utilize the collected data. Furthermore, big data analytics is utilized to examine big data to discover hidden patterns, uncovered correlations and other information ...

VaR calculations are becoming increasing important for all the investors, bankers, and regulators.

3A. Data mining involves extracting meaningful information from data. There is much misinformation about data mining. The data is important, and data mining is a larger process applied on that data. It is not necessary that data mining be accurate, but important is to derive patterns and hypothesis. In short data, mining can also be termed as an automated extraction process of information from big data sets. There are various data mining tools and algorithms that enable the extraction of information, though some level of statistical expertise is required to use those techniques. Some data mining techniques are decision ...

Data mining refers to the computational process useful for the discovery of large sets of data, which employs methods on knowledge for artificial intelligence, statistics analysis, machine learning and database systems. The data mining process aims at extracting information from a set of data to transform it into a clearly understandable form that is useful for further analysis. Apart from the raw analysis move, the process involves database and data management processes, data pre-processing, model and interface considerations, interestingness metrics, considerations for complexities, post processing for obtained structures, visualization, as well as online updating (Frand, 2013).

Introduction

It has been observed that, the world is changing a lot from the technological perspective. Hence, it is important for the organizations dealing with large data sets to implement strategies regarding security of these data sets. Big data sets can be referred to as large pieces of information stored in servers, or rather server farms. The traditional means of processing all these data sets will not be useful, and even, there would be a risk of security breach within these data sets. Hence, we are required to implement security analytics that will help in increasing the security of this data and, ...

Abstract Relational Database Systems (RDBMS) are the most popular database systems today. The relational model of database management emerged from a dynamic database model called DataBase Management System (DBMS). Dbase and FoxPro were the popular DBMS in the 1970’s and 1980’s. RDBMS emerged in the 1990’s. Though RDBMS is a popular form of database management, few appreciate its true potential. Modern applications that allow multiple devices to access and manipulate data are overshadowing RDBMS. NoSQL models such as Hadoop and MapReduce allow document processing which is a feature that the relational model lacks. An in-depth understanding of the ...

Personal Privacy and Technology

The definition of privacy is an individual's condition of life. The technology we have today is slowly dissipating the privacy we have. People don't realize the risks they have with their privacy when they do things on the internet. They don't know how other people are invading privacy without them even knowing. Where is the line that separates privacy from security? This is an unstable controversy that has been going on since technology has existed. It is extremely easy to find information on anyone in the world with the technology we have, but how much information, and what people ...
