Factors influencing the neglect of color photography : 1860 to 1970

Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1982.MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH.Includes bibliographical references.While the history of photographic color technology has been adequately discussed by E.J. Hall, Joseph Friedman, and Brian Coe, the relationship between complex tri-color systems and generalized use of color photography has not been addressed in the Literature. This investigation is a preliminary study, in survey form, of the wide variety of social, economic, technological, and aesthetic factors affecting the protracted acceptance of color as a means of depiction. In separate analyses covering, 1) 19th century color innovation and interest, 2) Specific impediments related to the delay of color, 3) The selling of color during the 1930's and 40's, 4) The biases against color, 5) The precedents set by black and white rendering , and 6) The problems of resolving an accessible negative/positive color technology, we will describe the sequence of events which contributed to the eventual adoption of color materials and outline the conditions tied to this adoption. A fundamental aspect of this research acknowledges that, while photography was invented in 1839, large scale acceptance and use of color did not occur until 1965 - a full 126 years after the inception of black and white materials. The complex of factors related to this neglect of color has not been the subject of scholarly analysis in the Literature; there is not firm legacy of serious color photography and this couples with the absence of historical inquiry into the aesthetic and social aspects of color's evolution. The important invention of photography has provided us with a predominantly black and white record of things and events since 1839; this thesis, then, is an inquiry into the evolution of a technology and the complex of issues related to the cultural lags attached to most technological innovations.by Stephen R.

Respiratory syncytial virus as a cause of pulmonary hemorrhage in a low birth weight infant - strategies for protection and prevention: a case report

A case study of 39-year old man with persistent wheezing, episodes of haemoptysis and dry cough unsuccessfully treated with inhaled beta2-agonists and steroids for about 10 months. Chest radiograph revealed a disproportion in dimensions between both lungs, with the left one being smaller than the right one. Spirometry demonstrated a restrictive pattern. During bronchoscopy, a polypoid endobronchial tumor, localized in the left main bronchus, completely occluding its lumen, was found. The tumor was diagnosed as carcinoid. In this case, due to the lack of characteristic symptoms, diagnosis of carcinoid was delayed. Patients unsuccessfully treated for bronchial asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease should undergo bronchoscopic examination

The influence of different culture microenvironments on the generation of dendritic cells from non-small-cell lung cancer patients

This study extends the model developed in Williams and Seaman’s [Williams, J. J. and Seaman, A. E. (2010). Corporate Governance and Mindfulness: The Impact of Management Accounting Systems Change, The Journal of Applied Business Research, Vol. 26, No. 5, pp. 1-17] exploratory paper examining the moderating effects of management accounting systems (MAS) change on the corporate governance/mindfulness relationship for a Canadian sample of 124 top-level accounting professionals. Canonical correlation analysis was applied to the linkage of multiple cognitive processes of mindfulness (Weick and Sutcliffe, 2001; 2007) and the governance dimensions of performance and conformance specified by the International Federation of Accountants (2009), underpinned by the moderating effects of five different components of MAS change, which yielded 13 significant relationships. The latter were subsequently analyzed for important gestalts (i.e., patterns) in the overall relationship, and assessed within the context of aligning professional accounting practices involving systems changes to the IFAC (2009) governance framework. These findings appear to have implications for improved governance structures in practice as well as offering a rich foundation for future research
