E-paper News Publishing

Abstract

Electronic distribution is challenging the newspaper industry to seek new ways of publishing; consequently, news content could be processed on and for a variety of output platforms. Electronic paper (e-paper) could turn into a major newspaper publishing channel due to its ability to display content in a paper-like manner, with lower weight, lower power consumption, and facilitated handling compared to a computer, but without the major publishing and distribution costs associated with printed newspapers. This work is based on seven case studies of newspaper companies in Sweden, Europe and North America, and analyses newspaper companies’ views on future e-paper publishing. The objective has been to examine the conditions that would enable the e-paper medium to become viable as a newspaper-publishing channel. Newspaper companies regard the idea of a future e-paper edition as very promising, but are uncertain as to what strategy to use. The final product will be a balance between cost, reorganization, the available number of rich media, and updates. Based on the companies’ views, five models of how to incorporate an e-paper publishing channel into existing newspaper production have been proposed. The appropriateness of the models depends on each newspaper company’s conditions, including assets, consumer base and demographics, current workflow, and future strategies.

Active and responsive polymer surfaces

“…The change in saline contact angle vs. voltage is the driving force behind electrowetting devices. 36 Recently, electrowetting devices [36][37][38][39][40][41][42] (including lenses, display technology, electric-paper (e-paper)), especially electrowetting polymer devices, have attracted much interest because of their commercial applications. In contrast with the conventional optical devices, electrowetting polymer ones have high flexibility, strong optical power in lenses, and high definition in displays, etc.…”

“…Thanks to the ability to display content in a paper-like manner, e-paper has a great potential to replace conventional newspaper publishing, and turn into a major method without the major publishing and distribution costs associated with printed newspapers. 38 For example, the Philips research laboratory prepared a colorful electrowetting display by mixing different dyes in an oil. 40 Recently, Zhou et al 41 prepared a flexible electrowetting e-paper on a polyethylenenaphthalate (PEN) film, which is able to be used as light valves (Fig.…”

Derivation of microscopic uni-axial unified adiabatic Bohr–Mottelson rotational model

“…(12) states that ξ is invariant under rotation and hence ξ are functions of the invariants of the rotation group SO (2), such as | x n |, | x n · x m |, | x n − x m |, etc. (for an example of such rotationally invariant coordinates refer to [82] …”

“…(9)), implies that the intrinsic wavefunction Φ is independent of θ , i.e., it is rotationally invariant and hence can be considered to be a function of SO(2) invariants such as | x n |, | x n · x m |, | x n − x m |, etc. (for an example of such rotationally invariant coordinates refer to [82]). We may also obtain Φ from Ψ that is constructed to have a good angular momentum quantum number that is then set to zero.…”
