EDUCATION in modern solutions

The article discusses the importance of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

technology in the industrial engineering curriculum. It states that RFID
technology is fast becoming one of the most important technologies
that industrial engineering students need to master. According to the article,
the industrial engineering (IE) professionals are in unique position to lead the
RFID industrial revolution. In addition, the fundamental idea is that the IEs are in
the key position to use RFID technology to reduce cost, improve productivity and
create higher efficiency in the supply chain.

Cinema and Sensation: Contemporary French  Film and Cinematic Corporeality

One of the most fascinating phenomena in contemporary art cinema is the re-

emergence of a corporealcinema, that is, of filmmaking practices (and, by
extension, of theoretical approaches) that give precedence to cinema as the
medium of the senses. This article thus explores trends of filmmaking and film
theorizing where the experience of cinema is conceived as a unique combination
of sensation and thought, of affect and reflection. It argues that, reconnecting with
a certain tradition of French film theory in particular,
contemporary French cinema offers a point in case: a large collection of recently
released French films typify this willingness to explore cinema's unique capacity
to move us both viscerally and intellectually. In turn, the article suggests that such
films, envisaged as forms of embodied thought, offer alternative ways, beyond that
of mere appropriation and consumption, of envisaging the relationship of subjects
to art, and, by extension, of subjects to objective world. [ABSTRACT FROM
