Video in Opera Stage

Introduction Advances in technology and the corresponding creation of digital technologies have significantly impacted the performing arts (Poole & Ho, 2011). Opera has not escaped the technological advancements and as such, new forms of opera have emerged in both digital and virtual formats (Symonds & Karantonis, 2013). Salter (2010) explains that since the 1990s, the scenography of opera has emerged with technological advancements transforming stages into video and monitor accompaniments. The obvious payoff is an enhanced experiential, virtual reality of the opera’s stage. The new technologies blur the lines between the opera’s stage and the motion picture common in ...

Introduction

The term ‘social robot’ has become popular in the modern world and is almost being integrated into the modern day cultural constructs as usual. Lamers & Verbeek (2010) maintain that social technology is meant to invoke emotional attributes and to engage the human mind in a way that exceeds what is physical. Lamers & Verbeek (2010) argue that a robot is man’s effort at recreating his own self and it is with this semblance that the conceptualization of human-robot interaction has been captured. Dating back from the 18th century, inventors and scientists alike have been making numerous attempts at making ...

President Obama enacted the Affordable Care Act as a United States Federal statute in 2010. Together with the amendment to the reconciliation bill, it promised to expand health insurance to all citizens at a reasonable cost. PPACA defines the health care as neither the right nor privilege of people but it states that citizens, however, do have a right to “affordable” healthcare, which it tries to achieve through a partnership between the market and the government. The ACA is a result of an evolution of government-funded plans such as Medicare and Medicaid as well as statutes such as HIPAA, ...

Question 1 Tectonic plate motion refers to the movement of continental and oceanic plates from one place to another due to the effect of forces that generally act on these plates. These movements cause some effects to the surrounding environment and even to the earth surface in general. A scientist by the name of Wegner had earlier on formulated a theory that instituted some of the facts and evidence backing this presence of continental drift that had happened some time back in history (Runcorn, 2013). Furthermore, the critical evidence in support of continental drift is the jigsaw fitness of ...

“Eppur si muove,” (“and yet it moves”) Galileo has been said to say after he withdrew his contention that the earth revolved around the sun. Whether Galileo said it or whether, as Hayton suspects it was an interesting fiction developed for a piece of art in the middle 1600s is ultimately irrelevant. It captures the essence of science. Indeed, it captures the absurdity of the phrase “settled science.” The “settled science” to which Gallileo ultimately capitulated was utterly wrong. And yet, indeed, it was the Earth that moved. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is ...

Introduction

Newton's Second Law of motion asserts that the acceleration of an object exhibits a direct proportional relationship with the subsequent force acting on it. It explores the relationship that exists between force, mass and acceleration as exhibited by an object. This experiment examines Newton's Second Law of motion by enabling a dwindling weight to speed up a glider of recognised quantity along a track. A thread that links the dwindling mass to the glider is passed above a smart pulley (Knight, 2004). It is imperative to note that the smart pulley exhibits insignificant inertia, low friction and its revolution ...

In the realm of physics, every motion in the universe is governed by a multitude of forces. From the smallest subatomic particle to the gigantic astronomical body, each particle follows a universal law of forces that determine how they interact with one another. Understanding how these forces work is essential in understanding how the natural world around us works, and then to subsequently apply that knowledge to develop the human race in general. Some forces are readily observable and felt by people around us; some are not. Three of the most prominent forces affecting our everyday lives are the ...

Vestibular Projections

Vestibular projections in the central nervous system consist of vestibular end organs which communicate with the brain stem and the cerebellum via the vestibular branch of the eighth cranial nerve. These nerves are also connected to the auditory fibers. Thus damage caused to these structures can cause both vestibular and auditory disturbances. The vital function of the vestibular system is to coordinate head and eye movements. The ability of the eye to stay focused on an object even while the head is moving is brought about by the vestibular system.

The concept of error deals with the uncertainties made in measurements, which are hard to correct. Error, therefore, does not mean blunder. Error is divided into two categories, which include random and systematic errors. Accuracy, on the other hand, is the rate at which information matches the accepted or true values. As stated earlier, error is either random or systematic. Systematic errors are those that “tend to shift all measurements in a systematic way, so their mean value is displaced” (Error Analysis, n.d). These errors occur when there are wrong calibrations on the equipment of use or the failure ...

The history of film, much like any other industry throughout time, has largely been male-dominated, with the vast majority of opportunities and accolades going to male filmmakers.

When tracking women directors through the 100+ years film has existed, their impacts and struggles has ebbed and flowed in surprising ways. From the silent film era’s breadth of opportunities to modern filmmaking’s slow but steady infiltration of women directors today, female filmmakers have ...
