The document analyzes several movie posters and summarizes key techniques used:
1) Posters use contrasting colors to make important information like titles and actor names stand out from the background. Positioning and lighting of characters can also provide clues about the plot and their roles.
2) The Legend poster positions the two main characters equally, showing they have the same power, unlike posters where one towers over the other.
3) Film noir conventions like men peering through blinds and femme fatales are identifiable in The Dark Corner poster. Lighting suggests one character needs help while the other is optimistic.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
2. THE BLACK DAHLIA
In this poster we can clearly see the title of the film as it is a dark red colour on
a white background. This could represent happiness being covered and soiled
by death and sadness (which is denoted as the colour red).
The names of the main actors in the film are shown at the top. Although we
cannot very clearly see their first names due to the dark red on black, we can
clearly see the surnames of actors. This may be a problem with some movies
however the surnames are very recognisable meaning we do not necessarily
need to see their first name. For example, we can assume “Johansson” will be
Scarlett Johansson based on her already large fan base and popularity.
We can also see in this poster the information at the bottom. This is normally
what is contained on movie posters. It is important information for legal
reasons however it may be useful to the general public. However, it does not
stand out as strongly as the title or actors names as it is not viewed as being
essential for the audience to know.
In this small print, it does however have a piece of information saying it is
inspired by the most notorious unsolved murder which will lead to people
researching the film and potentially telling others what it is about therefore
building publicity for their movie.
3. THE BLACK DAHLIA
In the poster, the woman is gazing upwards. Underneath her, the background
is white. The contrasting lights could represent life and death and she is
crossing over from life to death. This would tell the audience that are unaware
with the story that she will die in the film and that would be a main part of the
plot. As well as this, her lipstick dropping could actually be blood dripping from
her lips. This could connote that she will die (connotation of blood) due to
someone's love for her (connotation of red lips).
4. LEGEND
This poster shows the main characters who are the Kray Twins and the woman
(Frances Kray). They are central in the poster with the title of the film in big
bold letters. We can also see films made by other producers of this film. This
technique can be used to attract people who may have enjoyed those films by
suggesting they may also enjoy this true British story. Similarly to the Black
Dahlia movie poster, where it tells the audience this is based on a true story.
This has the same impact where it raises awareness for when the movie actually
comes out.
5. LEGEND
In the poster, we see the two main characters standing side to side. Unlike
many movie posters containing multiple people, we have one character
standing over or in front of another to show superiority. However, the
positioning here tells us that the characters are equal in power and support
each other (which makes sense since they are both gangster brothers). The
other character in the shot is Frances Kray, the wife to one of the brothers
Reggie Kray. Her position standing behind the two characters shows that
although she is not the main focus of the movie, she is still a major part of the
plot and is always driving the brothers to make decisions.
We can assume that the movie is going to a gangster movie as the facial
expressions are more serious than they would be in other genres of film.
Another clear sign that this will fall under that specific genre is that one of the
twins is holding a gun while they are both wearing very sharp and expensive
suits. Frances is also set up to look like a femme fatale with very nice makeup
and shiny hair.
6. THE DARK CORNER
The poster for The Dark Corner has the names of the main actors and the title
in large bold letters. They are also bright colours which stand out against a
dark background allowing the eyes of the viewers towards the important
information. There is also an irony that the title “the dark corner” almost
radiates yellow light across the woman in the post. This could just show that
the title is in a dark corner since it is surrounded by black making it stand out
stronger.
The poster shows the man as being quite pale with more blue/ grey light
shining on him while the woman emits bright yellow light. This could inform
the audience of character traits. It could tell us that the man is more
depressed and in need of help while the woman is more optimistic and adds a
hint of joy to the movie. It could also suggest she is the love interest in the
film as he is drawn to her light since she has what he lacks and desires it.
7. The Dark Corner
The poster shows very common and stereotypical conventions of a Film Noir
movie. The man is peering through venetian blinds which are commonly used by
this genre due to he harsh lighting contrast that they cause (this is explained
more in-depth in my comprehensive analysis of genre).
The poster also has a character we can assume is the femme fatale due to her
costume and how well presented her hair is. The bright red shoes (which I now
know commonly represent lust from previous research) tell us that she is quite
scandalous and eye-catching towards the man.
In the trailer we can make the assumption that the man is looking out for the
woman. This is through the positioning where is slightly larger and looking down
upon her. This could connote that he is protective over her or actually spying on
her through windows. Both ideas could fit in with Film Noir.
It could also be the case that the man is hiding behind the venetian blinds. In the
actual film the man suspects that someone is following him and trying to kill him
which explains why he would be hiding behind venetian blinds.
8. WHAT I CAN INCORPORATE IN MY OWN
POSTER
From my research I know that an important
technique is to make the positioning of the
characters clear and distinct as this is a
common tool used to describe the plot and
which characters are going to be more
important. However as seen in the Legend
poster, this does not necessarily need to be
one character standing over the other but if
two characters have the same status then they
can stand side by side.
Light is also an effective tool. The contrast in
these posters not only make the important
information (such as titles and main actors)
stand out, but can also reveal personality traits
of the characters in the movie.
