Reframing Africa? Reflections on Modernity and the Moving Image
This book takes readers on a series of stimulating intellectual journeys from the late nineteenth century to the contemporary era to explore notions of modernity in the production and reception of the African moving image and of African archival practices. Ideas are presented from multiple historical and contemporary perspectives, while inviting new voices to participate in discussions about the future of the African moving image. Reframing Africa? makes a plea for the recognition, preservation and repatriation of the African moving image archive, advancing ideas about how it speaks to contemporary Africans, possessed of the power to elucidate their lived experiences and to reorientate perceptions of the past, present and future. On the basis of this wide-ranging appreciation of the archive, the book charts a way forward for African-inflected film studies as well as other programmes in the humanities and social sciences.

Energy Efficient Communication and Rate Control Algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks
Sensor networks provide applications in many diverse areas. This is for the simple fact that they are reliable, flexible, easily deployable and highly cost-effective. Smart sensors can provide such diverse services as detecting signs of machine failures, sensing earthquakes, onset of flooding and even provide a warning system for potential terrorist attacks. Because the sensors are untethered and battery powered, these networks have to maintain a high yield to the energy spent per sensor device. These yields translate into mainly throughputs and packet latencies while keeping the energy usage at the minimum. In this work, we look at the communication level energy usage within the sensor netw...
