The Semiotics of Emoji
Shortlisted for the BAAL Book Prize 2017 Emoji have gone from being virtually unknown to being a central topic in internet communication. What is behind the rise and rise of these winky faces, clinking glasses and smiling poos? Given the sheer variety of verbal communication on the internet and English's still-controversial role as lingua mundi for the web, these icons have emerged as a compensatory universal language. The Semiotics of Emoji looks at what is officially the world's fastest-growing form of communication. Emoji, the colourful symbols and glyphs that represent everything from frowning disapproval to red-faced shame, are fast becoming embedded into digital communication. Controlled by a centralized body and regulated across the web, emoji seems to be a language: but is it? The rapid adoption of emoji in such a short span of time makes it a rich study in exploring the functions of language. Professor Marcel Danesi, an internationally-known expert in semiotics, branding and communication, answers the pertinent questions. Are emoji making us dumber? Can they ultimately replace language? Will people grow up emoji literate as well as digitally native? Can there be such a thing as a Universal Visual Language? Read this book for the answers.

Writing for museums
\"Whether written by administrators, staffers, freelancers, or interns, words are delivered by people in your museums with the knowledge, to be interpreted by strangers. Your story is told everywhere, and with each narration it reinforces your brand; hopefully every single word reflects your brand. If you ever wished for a good writer, right on staff, ready to take on project, major or routine, here's the help you're looking for. Writing for Museums will help all staff who write better--and result in clearer communication with and education for--all your visitors\"--Provided by publisher.

Devices, communication techniques and networks for all optical communication: research issues
The characteristics of all optical networks such as high speed, data carrying capacity and transparency make them suitable for emerged networks domain. This paper presents an overview of research challenges in the field of all optical communication networks. Various subdomains of an all optical system, for example device-level designs, communication technique-level designs and network-level designs have been extensively investigated and presented in this paper. Further, the related research issues under each category of these domains have been discussed. These issues constitute the basic criterion for further development in all optical domain.

Minimum energy channel codes for molecular communications
Owing to the limitations of molecular nanomachines, it is essential to develop reliable, yet energy‐efficient communication techniques. Two error correction coding techniques are compared under a diffusive molecular communication mechanism, namely, Hamming codes and minimum energy codes (MECs). MECs, which previously have not been investigated in a diffusive channel, maintain the desired code distance to keep reliability while minimising energy. Results show that MECs outperform the Hamming codes, both in aspects of bit error rate and energy consumption.

As Ferramentas Digitais nos Museus
In recent years there has been an increase in assisted technologies that museums use to attract and engage visitors. The digital tools used in the museum environment, whether indoors or outdoors, make it possible to create interactive cultural experiences that are accessible to all visitors. A contribuição de disciplinas e profissionais, como o marketing, ciencias da computação, psicología e pedagogia para a gestão de museus, impulsionou o desenvolvimento de urna nova conceção de museologia, centrada no consumidor (Recupero et al., 2019). Esta realidade mostra como é cada vez mais importante que as instituições culturáis estejam munidas de profissionais que desenvolvam atividades adequadas e exclusivas para ambientes web - Gestor de Estrategia Digital, Curador de Coleçoes Digitais, Programador de Experiencia Digital Interativa e Gestor de Comunidade Online. 2.2.A Importancia das TIC nos Museus A (re)evolução digital fez corn que os museus deixassem de ser simples depósitos de objetos (obras, exposições, temas, ideias) para se tornarem espaços de lazer, de interação e aprendizagem ativa (educação informai), assumindo e potencializando o seu papel de comunicadores.
