CIVICUS Civil Society Index Summary of conceptual framework and research methodology
Media monitoring and response to erroneous statements: National statistical agencies may wish to establish a system to monitor the news media which serve them regularly. This is fundamental to measuring how extensively the media have covered the releases of new statistical information, and how accurately the information has been reported. In instances where journalists misinterpret or erroneously report the data, it can benefit the national statistical organization to request a correction in the media, either informally or formally. This ensures that the public is not misled by the erroneous report, and protects the national statistical...

Difco & BBL Manual Manual of Microbiological Culture Media
Continued growth in annual fuel cell system shipments was seen worldwide in 2011, increasing 39% compared to 2010 to reach a new high of 24,600 units. So far 2012 has seen that momentum maintained and our expectations are for full-year system shipments to more than triple relative to 2011, reaching 78,200. In megawatt terms, 2011 grew 20% versus the previous year to exceed 100 MW for the fi rst time and we anticipate a further 61% growth in megawatts for 2012, totalling 175.8 MW. A number of high-profi le developments took place, including a surge in large stationary fuel cell...

Digital and Media Literacy: A Plan of Action
We have revised the way we report our data since the publication of our 2011 Industry Review to remove toys and educational equipment from our graphs and data tables. This sector of the market has provided an important stepping-stone to commerciality for many companies and continues to generate cash. It also serves to educate future generations of the benefi ts fuel cell technology can offer. With the advent of signifi cant industrial use for fuel cells over the past years, shipments of non-educational systems have grown, but these fi gures were swamped by the sheer number of educational kits. Therefore,...

Living and Learning with New Media: Summary of Findings from the Digital Youth Project
As we stated in our 2011 Industry Review, the fuel cell industry began its road to commercialisation in 2007. This process has not been an easy one, with the problems associated with introducing a new technology to the general public (and even to industrial customers) comprising legislative, manufacturing and cost barriers. Slow-but-steady progress has meant that, historically, announcements purporting signifi cant product shipments have tended to disappoint, often experiencing delays or even being cancelled. This has frustrated investors and customers alike and our historical assumptions for growth were tempered to refl ect expected delays. We believe, however, that a change in...

Digital Media Processors
As a result of this increased activity delivering tangible results, we increased our shipment and megawatt fi gures for the full year of 2011, and have adopted a more optimistic forecast for 2012. There have been many announcements in the fi rst half of 2012, including a number of fuel cell companies increasing their production capacity. We see this move as a very positive sign that the commercial sales volumes announced in a number of sectors will indeed be delivered according to planned timescales. One particularly positive example is the continued evolution of the deal between FuelCell Energy and POSCO...

Electronic Media and Youth Violence: A CDC Issue Brief for Educators and Caregivers
In the portable sector shipments were relatively fl at between 2010 and 2011, increasing by only 1.5%. Three portable fuel cell electronics chargers were launched this year and therefore we expect even modest sales into this lucrative market to grow portable shipments seven-fold in 2012. With the small size of portable units, mostly in the sub-kilowatt range, they do not signifi cantly affect the total megawatt fi gure, which for portable applications remained broadly fl at between 2010 and 2011, but is expected to grow 50% in 2012 from a low base. The stationary sector exceeded our expectations in 2011 by...

STUDY ON ASSESSMENT CRITERIA FOR MEDIA LITERACY LEVELS
The annual system shipments of fuel cells for transport applications continue to fl uctuate due to the timing of demonstration projects which contribute large numbers in one year and then little in the following years. We saw a 38% dip in annual system shipments for 2011 versus 2010, with decreases in all sub-categories except scooters. However overall unit shipments are expected to almost double in 2012 compared to 2011 and be 19% more than in 2010, led by sales of fuel cell materials handling vehicles (MHV). Megawatts for the transport sector remain largely fl at with the differences in size...

MEDIA USE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION
Annual fuel cell shipments in the portable sector grew a modest 1.5% between 2010 and 2011, primarily due to a minor decline in sales in the auxiliary power unit (APU) sector, partially a result of restricted consumer spending in Europe. This shortfall was met with an increase in shipments of smaller fuel cell systems helped by initial production runs of portable electronics chargers. Early 2012 has seen a return to growth for the APU sector that we expect to continue throughout the year, bolstered by renewed interest from the military. 2012 also sees the commercial launches of several portable electronics chargers,...

Scientific research in the media
An emerging niche for the units is in the monitoring and observation of wildlife, which is noise sensitive and requires extended run times. These, alongside a low heat profi le, are also requirements of defence use and SFC has enjoyed a good relationship with the German Bundeswehr for many years. In March 2012 SFC expanded its military reach with the delivery of 50 FC 100 military APU systems to the US Army Operational Test Command. The EFOY Pro line experienced 24% growth from 2010 to 2011, though this was not enough to counterbalance the drop-off in leisure sales. Despite this, SFC’s...

WHAT GOOD IS TWITTER? THE VALUE OF SOCIAL MEDIA TO PUBLIC SERVICE JOURNALISM
Lilliputian Systems and eZelleron are both developing SOFC products for this market. Lilliputian’s system will run on butane cartridges and should offer market-leading fuel effi ciency when it launches through US retailer Brookstone at the end of 2012. eZelleron’s micro-tubular SOFC product can be fuelled with conventional cigarette lighters; a commercial launch is expected within the next few years. Fuel Cell Today anticipates tens of thousands of unit shipments of portable fuel cell chargers in 2012 and these are predominantly responsible for the dramatic rise in total unit shipments from 2011 to 2012. Fuel cells thrive in applications where incumbent technologies...

ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (EDIS) 3 USER GUIDE SUBMITTING ELECTRONIC MEDIA
Our revised fi gures for 2011 put the number of stationary systems shipped during the full year at over 16,000 and the number of megawatts at over 81 MW, up from 8,300 and 35 MW in 2010, increases of 94% and 133% respectively. A number of factors combined to create this surge: more products maturing and reaching the market, with existing installations providing an increasingly robust track-record to convince customers; feed-in tariffs and subsidies continuing, but no longer providing the sole stimulus as the desire for energy security and independence intensify in, particularly, Japan and the USA; additionally, fuel cell...

Electronic Media and Youth Violence: A CDC Issue Brief for Researchers
The Japanese residential fuel cell scheme accounts for the majority of shipments in this application, under the Ene-Farm brand. By 2010, it was clear that the scheme was well on its way to being a success, delivering signifi cant cost reductions and performance improvements and allowing subsidies to come down, and by the end of the year fuel cell heating and power had been brought to over 13,500 households in total. Good growth in sales was expected in 2011, but what no one could have anticipated were the events of March 2011, when the T¯ ohoku earthquake and tsunami struck...

MEDIA ENCRYPTION FOR STILL VISUAL DATA an analysis of selected techniques for natural images and fingerprint data in the spatial and wavelet domain.
We believe this is set to change, heralded by an acceleration of shipments in 2012. Products have been subject to comprehensive demonstration and validation, which is starting to bear fruit. The value proposition offered by fuel cells in this application has been enhanced by declining costs of production, along with on-going improvements to the technology and to fuel supply and distribution. All of this is now opening the way to widespread adoption and profi tability for the companies active in this market. Much of the potential for growth lies in Asia, Africa and Latin America: countries with insuffi cient or...
