Elements of Design During the process of envisioning and designing a film, the director, production designer, and art director (in collaboration with the cinematographer) are concerned with several major spatial and temporal elements. These design elements punctuate and underscore the movement of figures within the frame, including the following: setting, lighting, costuming, makeup, and hairstyles. Choose a scene from movieclips.com. In a three to five page paper, (excluding the cover and reference pages) analyze the mise-en-scène. Respond to the following prompts with at least one paragraph per bulleted topic: Identify the names of the artists involved in the film’s production: the director, the production designer, and the art director. Describe in separate paragraphs each artist’s role in the overall design process. Conduct additional research if necessary, citing your book, film, and other external sources correctly in APA format. Explain how the artists utilize lighting in the scene. How does the lighting affect our emotional understanding of certain characters? What sort of mood does the lighting evoke? How does lighting impact the overall story the filmmaker is attempting to tell? Describe the setting, including the time period, location, and culture in which the film takes place. Explain what costuming can tell us about a character. In what ways can costuming be used to reflect elements of the film's plot? Explain how hairstyle and makeup can help tell the story. What might hairstyle and makeup reveal about the characters? Discuss your opinion regarding the mise-en-scène. Do the elements appear to work together in a harmonious way? Does the scene seem discordant? Do you think the design elements are congruent with the filmmaker’s vision for the scene? .

Elements of a contact due 16 Oct Read the Case Campbell Soup Co. v. Wentz in the text. Answer the following questions: 1. What were the terms of the contract between Campbell and the Wentzes? 2. Did the Wentzes perform under the contract? 3. Did the court find specific performance to be an adequate legal remedy in this case? 4. Why did the court refuse to help Campbell in enforcing its legal contract? 5. How could Campbell change its contract in the future so as to avoid the unconsionability problem? Facts: Per a written contract between Campbell Soup Company (a New Jersey company) and the Wentzes (carrot farmers in Pennsylvania), the Wentzes would deliver to Campbell all the Chantenay red cored carrots to be grown on the Wentz farm during the 1947 season. The contract price for the carrots was $30 per ton. The contract between Campbell Soup and all sellers of carrots was drafted by Campbell and it had a provision that prohibited farmers/sellers from selling their carrots to anyone else, except those carrots that were rejected by Campbell. The contract also had a liquidated damages provision of $50 per ton if the seller breached, but it had no similar provision in the event Campbell breached. The contract not only allowed Campbell to reject nonconforming carrots, but gave Campbell the right to determine who could buy the carrots it had rejected. The Wentzes harvested 100 tons of carrots, but because the market price at the time of harvesting was $90 per ton for these rare carrots, the Wentzes refused to deliver them to Campbell and sold 62 tons of their carrots to a farmer who sold some of those carrots to Campbell. Campbell sued the Wentzes, asking for the court's order to stop further sale of the contracted carrots to others and to compel specific performance of the contract. The trial court ruled for the Wentzes and Campbell appealed. Issues: Is specific performance an appropriate legal remedy in this case or is the contract unconscionable? Discussion: In January 1948, it was virtually impossible to obtain Chantenay carrots in the open market. Campbell used Chantenay carrots (which are easier to process for soup making than other carrots) in large quantities and furnishes the seeds to farmers with whom it contracts. Campbell contracted for carrots long ahead, and farmers entered into the contract willingly. If the facts of this case were this simple, specific performance should have been granted. However, the problem is with the contract itself, which was one-sided. According to the appellate court, the most direct example of unconscionability was the provision that, under certain .

Element 010 ASSIGNMENT: 3000 WORDS (100%) Task: Individual assignment (3000 words) Weighting: 100% Assessment Case Study: Greenland Garden Centre [1] Jon Smith spread his arms widely as he surveyed his garden centre. ‘Of course the whole market for leisure products and services, especially garden-related products, has been expanding over the last few years. Even so, we have been particularly successful. Partly this is because we are conveniently located, but it is also because we have developed a reputation for excellent service. Customers like coming to us for advice. We have also been successful in attracting some of the ‘personality gardeners’ from television to make special appearances. My main ambition now is to fully develop all of our twelve hectares to make the centre a place people will want to visit in its own right. I envisage the centre developing into almost a mini gardening theme park with special gardens, beautiful grounds and special events.’ Greenland is a large village situated in the Cotswolds, a popular tourist area of the UK. It has an interesting range of shops and restaurants, mainly catering for the tourist trade. About half a mile outside the village is the Greenland Garden Centre. The garden centre is served by a good network of main roads but is inaccessible by public transport. Growth over the last five years has been dramatic and the garden centre now sells many other goods as well as gardening requisites. It also has a restaurant. It is open seven days a week, only closing on Christmas Day. Its opening hours are Monday– Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. all year round. Outside the centre The centre has a large car park which can accommodate about 350 cars. Outside the entrance a map indicates the various areas in the garden centre. Most customers walk round the grounds before making their purchases. The length of time people spend in the centre varies but, according to a recent study, averages 53 minutes during the week and 73 minutes at weekends. The same study shows the extent to which the number of customers arriving at the garden centre varies depending on the time of year, day of the week, and time of day. There are two peaks in customer numbers, one during the late spring/early summer period and another in the build up to Christmas, as Greenland puts on particularly good Christmas displays. Indoor sales area The range of goods has increased dramatically over the past few years and now includes items such as: pets and aquatics seeds fertilisers indoor pots and plants gardening equipment garden lighting conservatory-style furniture outdoor clothing picture gallery books and toys delicatessen wine kitchen equipment soft furnishing outdoor eating equipment gifts, stationery, cards, aromatherapy products freshly cut flowers dried flowers.

First, we set up two signals 𝑥[𝑘] and ℎ[𝑘]: Flip one of the signals, say ℎ[𝑘], to form ℎ[−𝑘]: ELEG 320L – Signals & Systems Laboratory /Dr. Jibran Khan Yousafzai Lab 4 2 Shift ℎ[−𝑘] by n to form ℎ[𝑛 − 𝑘]. For each value of 𝑛, form 𝑦[𝑛] by multiplying and summing all the element of the product of𝑥[𝑘]ℎ[𝑛 − 𝑘], −∞ < 𝑘 < ∞. The figure below shows an example of the calculation of𝑦[1]. The top panel shows𝑥[𝑘]. The middle panel showsℎ[1 − 𝑘]. The lower panel shows𝑥[𝑘]𝑦[1 − 𝑘]. Note that this is a sequence on a 𝑘 axis. The sum of the lower sequence over all k gives 𝑦[1] = 2. We repeat this shifting, multiplication and summing for all values of 𝑛 to get the complete sequence 𝑦[𝑛]: ELEG 320L – Signals & Systems Laboratory /Dr. Jibran Khan Yousafzai Lab 4 3 The conv Command conv(x,h) performs a 1-D convolution of vectors 𝑥 and ℎ. The resulting vector 𝑦 has length length(𝑦) = length(𝑥) + length(ℎ) − 1. Imagine vector 𝑥 as being stationary and the flipped version of ℎ is slid from left to right. Note that conv(x,h) = conv(h,x). An example of the convolution of two signals and plotting the result is below: >> x = [0.5 0.5 0.5]; %define input signal x[n] >> h = [3.0 2.0 1.0]; %unit-pulse response h[n] >> y = conv(x,h); %compute output y[n] via convolution >> n = 0:(length(y)-1); %for plotting y[n] >> stem(n,y) % plot y[n] >> grid; >> xlabel('n'); >> ylabel('y[n]'); >> title('Output of System via Convolution'); ELEG 320L – Signals & Systems Laboratory /Dr. Jibran Khan Yousafzai Lab 4 4 Deconvolution The command [q,r] = deconv(v,u), deconvolves vector u out of vector v, using long division. The quotient is returned in vector q and the remainder in vector r such that v = conv(u,q)+r. If u and v are vectors of polynomial coefficients, convolving them is equivalent to multiplying the two polynomials, and deconvolution is polynomial division. The result of dividing v by u is quotient q and remainder r. An examples is below: If >> u = [1 2 3 4]; >> v = [10 20 30]; The convolution is: >> c = conv(u,v) c = 10 40 100 160 170 120 Use deconvolution to recover v. >> [q,r] = deconv(c,u) q = 10 20 30 r = 0 0 0 0 0 0 This gives a quotient equal to v and a zero remainder.

Prabhu Abstract The recent boom in the new economy of internet based commerce has created a large number of firms with a variety of business models that aim to leverage the power of the internet to further their business goals. In this paper we attempt to provide a conceptual framework for understanding e-commerce business models on a number of important dimensions - nature of consumer activity, nature of e-commerce activity, target customers, targeting strategy, revenue generating modes, procfactfcerwce delivery modes, payment collection modes, operating modes, market places, advantage mechanisms and domination characteristics. We also examine means of improving value proposition and net-friendliness for e-commerce activities and identify areas where e-commerce models have not been explored or fully exploited so far. Since the range of economic activities on the internet is vast and growing, newer models and opportunities are likely to emerge through improvements in internet technologies as well as innovations in their application to business contexts. Hence any conceptual framework on e-commerce business models, including our own, can never be comprehensive.

This paper provides a conceptual framework for understanding these business models and their characteristics. The conceptual framework is shown in Figure 1. Locating Electronic Commerce in the Internet Economy We define electronic commerce as use of the internet medium for conducting economic transactions. Electronic commerce is a part of a larger internet economy. Conceptually, the internet economy can be divided into four layers (Barua etal., 1999). Each layer of the internet economy is listed below with descriptions of the types of companies and names of some of the actual companies in each category.

Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2155540 INDIA: a fab-less wonder: case of SMDP A.S.Rao [email protected] Abstract From IPod to I Pad, millions of electronics goods have rolled out of China, the global manufacturing hub. India’s share of global electronic product market is less than 3%. Taiwan had $72 billion of investment in Fabs, where as India stands out as one the aspiring nation with no Fab. Yet, top 25 global semiconductor companies now have a presence in India through their captive centers, working in cutting edge technology nodes. Among the top twenty U.S. semiconductor companies, only two have not established a design center in India. While, Government of India is not successful in attracting manufacturing, appear to have made a significant contribution by focusing on talent supply. Department of Information Technology (DIT) implemented Special Manpower Development Programme in the area of VLSI design and related software (SMDP) and trained over 20,000 engineers. This paper is about SMDP as case study and is based on Impact Assessment of SMDP-II assigned by DIT on IIMA. Prior to 1980s, the semiconductor industry was vertically integrated. Semiconductor companies owned and operated their own silicon wafer fabrication facilities and developed their own process technology for manufacturing their chips. These companies also carried out the fabrication, assembly and testing of their chips. Innovative chip design start-ups and Taiwan’s business model led to the birth of foundry industry. South Korea and Taiwan In Tiger Technology: Creation of a Semiconductor Industry in East Asia John A. Mathews and Dong-Sung Cho gave a comparative account of the support given by the Korean and Taiwanese states to their local semiconductor producers. South Korean government considered semiconductors vital to the modernization of domestic industries and manufacturing consumer electronics. The state used Korea’s large conglomerates, or chaebol, as a vehicle to move into the industry through direct brokerage with different firms and by offering substantial financial assistance. Taiwanese government did not have the convenience of large conglomerates that could be directed towards semiconductor production. Instead, the government sponsored initiatives to develop a domestic industry through the establishment of research and production capabilities before the creation of private firms. At the same time, re-organization of production in the global economy also played an equally integral part for the transformation of East Asia and the development of domestic semiconductor industries in South Korea and Taiwan. In `Globalisation of High Technology Production’, Jeffery Henderson places the focus of analysis on the development of networks of production in the global semiconductor industry. He asserts that these production networks developed after tran.

ElectriGov is a government agency whose mission is to supply electric power to various locations in the United States. To accomplish this task, the organization has three line crews of five to ten men whose job it is to install high-voltage power lines. Each crew is highly cohesive, led by a foreman. Moreover, crew members have worked together for many years and have an established pattern for doing their work and solving problems. The work is hard, dirty, and dangerous. Almost all of the men have had a friend who has been seriously injured or killed while on the job. The crews typically work independently, but when there are large projects to complete, they must work together. This can create serious conflicts, since the crews often don’t agree with each other’s approaches to organizing and managing a particular job, and none of the three foremen wants to be subservient to the others. Thus when line crews do large projects together, they tend to compete with one another rather than cooperate. On one project, the conflict became so nasty that one crew failed to inform another crew that the wires were hot at a certain section of the project. This serious safety breach was reported to senior management, who immediately launched an investigation. We, as consultants, were initially asked to serve as part of the team investigating the causes of the safety violations. After the initial investigation, we were asked by ElectriGov’s senior management to “clean up the conflicts” between the crews. The approach we used to help the crews reduce their conflicts was a variation on design A. All three crews were brought together in one room, and the need for an interteam development program was discussed. Each crew was asked to commit to solving the conflicts between themselves and the other crews and to agree to give the program a chance. Once we had their agreement, each crew was then asked to meet separately to list their perceptions of the other crews and the specific problems that they had in working with the others. After meeting separately, the teams came back together and each reported its perceptions of the other crews. In our consulting role, we facilitated the discussion, making sure that each crew’s perceptions were made clear and that each crew described the problematic behaviors of the other crews in concrete, specific terms. As a ground rule, crews were asked to be descriptive and to avoid using emotionally laden language when critiquing the other crews. After each crew presented its perceptions, the other crews could ask questions to clarify points, but the crews were not allowed to debate the validity of the other crews’ perceptions. After each crew aired its views, the crews, together in an open session, were then asked to come up with recommendations to improve the relationships. Their suggestions were listed on large poster boards in the room. The crews discussed how they might do more advanced planning on the larger projects to deter.
