Research Topic

A key theme in mobile communications research is the idea that people are suffering from communications overload. This essay remarks on what that term might mean and how it ought to be addressed when viewed from the perspective of mobile phone research. It will argue that its use in everyday life is rich and complex, and that this use ought to be a research topic in its own right. Some of the difficulties that will need to be addressed when this occurs are noted.

Mobile communications is a continually growing sector in industry and a wide variety of visual services such as video-on-demand have been created which are limited by low-bandwidth network infrastructures. The distinction between mobile phones and personal device assistants (PDA’s) has already become blurred with pervasive computing being the term coined to describe the tendency to integrate computing and communication into everyday life. New technologies for connecting devices like wireless communication and high bandwidth networks make the network connections even more heterogeneous. Additionally, the network topology is no longer static, due to the increasing mobility of users. Ubiquitous computing is a term often associated with this type of networking.

Rainfall Attenuation

Mobile communications are part of our everyday life. The non-ideal environment which is filled with many attenuation factors affects the electromagnetic waves, which radio communication depends. This study considers the spectral range of 1 and 3GHz. At these frequencies, interesting phenomena due to rain are supposed to happen. The study of this frequency spectrum has been undertaken in an attempt to evaluate the frequency dependence of rain effects on electromagnetic waves. The study of rain effects on communication presented in this study relied solely on rainfall data collected from Nigeria Metrological Agency (NiMet) station in Lagos, Nigeria. The months for January to December for 1981-2011 were summed together and the averages were determined. The average is then used to calculate the rain rate and rainfall attenuation using the extracted results for all the locations (Bauchi, Ikeja, Jos, Kebbi, Maiduguri and Warri). The results show that Warri has the highest rainfall rate followed by Lagos. Kebbi and Maiduguri has the least while Jos and Bauchi demonstrated moderate rainfall rates. This also deduced that attenuation has less impact on lower frequencies but increase with higher frequencies. The study reveals that at higher frequencies, the rainfall attenuation is observed to be greater.

University Settings

In this paper, I will illustrate the changing nature and complexity of faculty employment in college and university settings. I will use existing higher education research to describe changes in faculty demographics, the escalating demands placed on faculty in the work setting, and challenges that confront professors seeking tenure or administrative advancement. Boyer’s (1990) framework for bringing traditionally marginalized and neglected functions of teaching, service, and community engagement into scholarship is examined as a model for balancing not only teaching, research, and service, but also work with everyday life.

Affective Forecasts

Two distinct spatial metaphors for the passage of time can produce disparate judgments about grieving. Under the object-moving metaphor, time seems to move past stationary people, like objects floating past people along a riverbank. Under the people-moving metaphor, time is stationary; people move through time as though they journey on a one-way street, past stationary objects. The people-moving metaphor should encourage the forecast of shorter grieving periods relative to the object-moving metaphor. In the present study, participants either received an object-moving or people-moving prime, then read a brief vignette about a mother whose young son died. Participants made affective forecasts about the mother’s grief intensity and duration, and provided open-ended inferences regarding a return to relative normalcy. Findings support predictions, and are discussed with respect to interpersonal communication and everyday life.
