|
 | This thesis uses social movement theory to examine how Hizbullah frames its message to its various target audiences. The growth and influence of different Hizbullah media over the past two decades suggest that Hizbullah has been successful in shaping a popular message, both inside Lebanon and in the larger Arab world. Hizbullah's successful media campaign has paralleled its growth as perhaps the single most important political party in Lebanon today. ... |

| Technology enabled non-face-to-face collaboration has the potential to enhance information sharing and shared situational awareness (SSA) by providing near real-time information to a wide audience. Collaborators require an awareness of what critical information should be shared to develop this SSA. Previous research suggested that participants, while reporting that they shared relevant information, in actuality did not. To explore this issue, the previous research was repeated with the addition of having ... |

| Distance Learning (DL) is a formal learning activity that occurs when students and instructors are separated by either time or geographical distance. Since the learning and teaching occur in different places, DL requires special course design and instructional techniques, as well as special communication techniques and organizational- administrative arrangements DL programs have various delivery methods using either asynchronous (email, Web, videotape) or synchronous (Video teleconferencing, Elluminate) communications technologies. There are ... |

| ARDEC's Target Behavioral Response Laboratory is currently conducting research on methods for crowd laboratory experiments, specifically crowd behavior metrics. Crowd metrics based on topological data were derived using motion capture methods. Sociometrics were based on coded videotaped communications. The preliminary results suggest that these crowd metrics, including those produced by network science methods, should be considered for further study. The results also suggest that crowd metrics, rather than only weapon ... |

| The release of a new videotape by Osama Bin Laden in late October 2004 rekindled public debate surrounding Al Qaeda's ideology, motives, and future plans to attack the United States. The highly political tone and content of the two most recent statements released by Bin Laden [April and October 2004] have led some terrorism analysts to speculate that the messages may signal a new attempt by him to create a ... |

| U.S. video psychological operations (PSYOP) are difficult in austere operating environments lacking a mature television infrastructure. The need for video PSYOP in such environments is great, due to low literacy rates, which narrow the reach of traditional print products. Video PSYOP has generally required an extant television network and viewing audience. In operating environments where a network and viewing audience are not developed, tactical dissemination means must fill the gap. ... |

| A protocol is a record of procedural steps undertaken in a process. In studying human-machine systems, observations of human operators obtained from sources such as videotapes are coded to create a descriptive protocol of behaviours, task elements, goals, etc. This record is essentially sequential in nature, but methods for analysing sequential data are relatively new. The kinds of information that protocol analysis can provide, that might ... |

| Minimally invasive surgery is a double-edged sword presenting both advantages and dangers to a patient. On the one hand, damage to healthy tissue is reduced and recovery periods are shorter. On the other hand, the surgeon is handicapped by degraded perceptual information so that the probability of certain types of errors is increased (e.g., cutting or damaging the common bile duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy). In challenging cases surgeons continually assess ... |
