7 Click Through Ratio
1. отклик
отклик
Параметр, определяющий "нажимаемость" баннера. Например, если из 100 человек, увидевших баннер, 15 кликнут по нему мышью, то ctr составит 15 %. В действительности этот показатель обычно колеблется в пределах 0,5 – 1,0 %, что соответствует отношению площади баннеров на экранной странице к площади страницы (т.е. при случайном нажатии пользователя на левую кнопку мыши вероятность того, что в этот момент ее курсор находился над баннером, как раз соответствует указанной величине). Наиболее эффективный способ поднять кликабельность баннера – увеличить его размеры.
[ http://www.lexikon.ru/rekl/a_eng.html]

отклик
Термин планирования эксперимента, выходная (эндогенная) переменная, характеризующая систему, изучаемую в эксперименте. Функция, соединяющая вектор экзогенных или входных переменных (факторов) x с откликом Y в уравнении Y = ? (х) называется поверхностью О. или поверхностью реакции. Любой эксперимент — реальный или имитационный (машинный) можно в самом упрощенном виде отобразить таким «уравнением отклика» (имитационной моделью). Если в реальном эксперименте изучается, например, воздействие метода премирования рабочих за качество продукции, то факторами будут уровни, условия и другие характеристики премий, уровни квалификации и другие особенности рабочих и т.д.; О. — тот или иной показатель качества продукции, являющийся результатом действия указанных факторов. Функция ? — собственно то, что мы обычно ищем в подобном эксперименте: степень воздействия факторов, в данном случае — зависимость результатов от использования той или иной системы премирования.

8 Smilin' Through

Улыбка сквозь года

   1941 – США (100 мин)

     Произв. MGM (Виктор Сэвилл)

     Реж. ФРЭНК БОРЗЭЙГИ

     Сцен. Допалд Огден Стюарт, Джон Болдерсон по одноименной пьесе Джейн Каул и Джейн Мёрфин

     Опер. Леонард Смит (Technicolor)

     Муз. Герберт Стотхарт

     В ролях Дженет Маклоналд (Кэтлин / Муньэн Клер), Брайан Эхёрн (сэр Джон Картерет), Джин Реймонд (Кеннет Уэйн / Джереми Уэйн), Иэн Хантер (преподобный Оуэн Хардинг), Фрэнсис Робинсон (Эллен), Патрик O'Mvp (Вилли), Эрик Лонсдейл (Чарлз).

   1897 г., Англия. Сэр Джон Картерет живет памятью о своей ирландской невесте Муньэн Клер, умершей 30 лет назад. Он берет к себе в дом ее 5-летнюю племянницу Кэтлин, родители которой утонули. Девочка растет у него на глазах и 20 лет спустя знакомится в заброшенном особняке с Кеннетом Уэйном, сыном бывших владельцев этого дома, воспитанным в Америке и приехавшим сражаться в британской армии. Узнав, что Кэтлин и Кеннет стали друзьями, сэр Джон ошеломлен. Он объясняет племяннице, что отец Кеннета Джереми Уэйн был безумно влюблен в Муньэн и застрелил ее из револьвера в день свадьбы перед самой церемонией. Когда заходит речь о свадьбе между Кэтлин и Кеннетом, сэр Джон грозит перестать с ней видеться. Кеннет уходит на фронт, так и не женившись. Он возвращается, раненный в обе ноги, и, чтобы не вынуждать Кэтлин выходить за него из жалости, говорит, что больше ее не любит. Теперь уже сэр Джон, поборов ненависть к семейству Уэйнов, говорит Кэтлин, что Кеннет по-прежнему ее любит. Сэр Джон тихо умирает и встречает свою обожаемую невесту в ином мире, а Кэтлин и Кеннет обретают друг друга в мире этом.

   ► 1-й цветной фильм Борзэйги. Нежность его стиля в равной степени хорошо приспосабливается и к определенной скудости средств, и, как в данном случае, к огромному количеству сокровищ, собранных в одном фильме: тут и роскошный «Technicolor», и ирландские напевы, которые выводит золотой голос Дженет Макдоналд, и безупречная адаптация пьесы с давно испытанными на публике сюжетными поворотами (она уже была экранизирована дважды, в 1922 и 1932 гг., оба раза – Сидни Фрэнклином). Все потому, что Борзэйги больше, чем любого другого режиссера в истории кино, занимает любовь и внутренние чувства персонажей – настолько тонкие и в то же время сильные, что длятся и после смерти. Самим своим существом эти чувства играют со временем и пространством и, естественно и неизбежно, преображают мелодрамы Борзэйги в фантастические и метафизические поэмы. В Улыбке сквозь года Борзэйги переносит нас из одного времени в другое, а затем берет нас за руку и ведет за собой в вечность. У него один и тот же актер играет нескольких персонажей, которые, по сути, являются одним человеком, продолжающим судьбу или исправляющим ошибки своего предка. Джин Реймонд образца 1917 г. искупает (скорее на метафизическом уровне, нежели на нравственном) ошибку Джина Реймонда образца 1867 г. Двойной персонаж Дженет Макдоналд в 2 разных периода времени восстанавливает поток любви, соединявший ее с, казалось бы, полностью противоположными людьми (они были такими во времени; они перестанут быть такими в вечности).

   Улыбка сквозь года мало известна, но это типичный фильм Борзэйги: фильм-видение, почти лишенный материальности – настолько нежно обращается режиссер с материалом; настолько незаметно, словно по волшебству, изображение пропитывается его мыслями. В утонченности изобразительного и музыкального ряда, актерской игры (даже такие довольно посредственные актеры, как Брайан Эхёрн, выдают лучшее, на что способны) нет ни следа формализма. Все вместе они составляют заклинание, которое должно возвратить зрителя к живым истокам самых сильных чувств, какие только может испытывать человечество: любви и ненависти. По мнению Борзэйги, ненависть – вовсе не противоположность любви. Это недолговечная, неполная и обиженная карикатура на любовь. Когда-нибудь она неизбежно поглотится и преобразится любовью.
