A Study of WLAN Campus in an Educational Establishment

the main aim of campus network is to efficiently separate, share and access knowledge among its users. The big demand of such systems of distributed knowledge networks is to be able to handle advanced applications which are the end-user requirements. The main goal of this study is to assess the ability of WLAN campus to dealing with applications request of end users in education establishments and network achievement under different conditions of operation. The study has been conducted in two stages: the first stage was accomplished by conducting a survey, using the Student Village network at Anglia Ruskin University as a case study; the main aim was to determine end-use requirements, gather information about the nature applications running by users and get a view about the likely future applications. The second stage was achieved by conducting experiments to evaluate the WLAN campus network performance under various different scenarios: impact of handover from Access Point (AP) to another AP on end-user link performance, network performance in different usage time and network performance in different weather conditions.

In a time of global nursing shortages an alarming number of young registered nurses have expressed a willingness to leave the profession. In this qualitative case study we investigate in depth why young nurses leave nursing profession and reeducate themselves for a new career. The study is based on longitudinal interviews of three young registered nurses in Finland. These nurses were first interviewed between December 2006 and May 2007, when they were 29–32 years old and having an intention to leave the profession. The second interview took place four years later, from January 2011 to March 2011 when all of them had made the transition to a new career. Data were analyzed in two stages. In the first stage, comprehensive career story narratives were formed on the basis of the interviews. In the second stage, emerging themes in these stories were compared, contrasted, and interpreted in the context of the overall career histories. Nursing as a second career choice and demanding work content as well as poor practice environment and the inability to identify with the stereotypical images of nurses were main themes that emerged from these career stories. The results of this interpretative qualitative study reflect a shift toward insights into understanding professional turnover as a complex and long-lasting process.

ABSTRAK Fenomena menjadikan rumah tinggal sebagai rumah-usaha di beberapa kawasan perumahan, ditunjukkan dengan terjadinya masuknya fungsi baru ke dalam suatu fungsi yang homogen. Adanya aktifitas komersial pada kawasan perumahan akan mengakibatkan perubahan tatanan ruang lingkup hunian secara fisik maupun non fisik. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan dua tahap, tahap pertama mengidentifikasi metode-metode yang digunakan untuk menganalisis perubahan fungsi lahan. Tahap kedua yaitu menguji metode yang terpilih pada studi kasus pada sebuah perubahan fungsi kawasan perumahan di Kota Bandung. Hasil identifikasi metode ditemukan bahwa tipomorfologi dapat digunakan untuk menerangkan perubah-perubahan dari suatu tipe, di mana suatu tipe memiliki ciri-ciri tertentu yang dapat membedakannya dengan tipe-tipe yang lain. Proses perubahan fungsi yang terjadi pada Koridor Hasanudin dan Prof. Eykman sangat dipengaruhi oleh adanya aktivitas rumah sakit dan universitas sehingga pola perkembangan yang terjadi adalah pola invasi linear dan pola dominasi radial. Perubahan fungsi yang terjadi pada dua koridor memberikan dampak berupa gangguan lalu lintas akibat on street parking dan perubahan sirkulasi jalan. Kata kunci: komersial, perumahan, perubahan fungsi, tipomorfologi ABSTRACTThe phenomenon of making a home as a business house in several residential areas is indicated by the entry of a new function into a homogeneous function. The presence of commercial activities in residential areas will result in changes in the physical and non-physical occupancy scope of the occupancy. This research was conducted in two stages, the first stage identified the methods used to analyze changes in land functions. The second stage is testing the method chosen in the case study on a change in the function of the residential area in the city of Bandung. The method identification results found that typomorphology can be used to explain changes of a type, where a type has certain characteristics that can distinguish it from other types. The function change process that occurs in the Hasanudin Corridor and Prof. Eykman is strongly influenced by the activities of hospitals and universities so that the pattern of development that occurs is a linear invasion pattern and a pattern of radial dominance. Function changes that occur in the two corridors have an impact in the form of traffic disruption due to on street parking and changes in road circulation.

Abstract. The theoretical TCEV (Two Component Extreme Value) distribution was applied to interpret the sediment yield datasets available in Southern Italy. The analysis is based on hydrological data collected for twelve catchments located in Calabria and Basilicata. A hierarchical approach was used to obtain a regional parent distribution which was used to determine the return time for each event. The hierarchical approach proposed in this study includes two stages. The first stage served for calibration and made it possible to estimate the parameters of the theoretical TCEV distribution. More specifically, the hypothesis of homogeneity with regard to the skewness coefficient and the coefficient of variation was verified using the datasets related to nine catchments. The second stage consisted in verifying the goodness of the theoretical distribution on three independent datasets provided by three experimental catchments not involved in the calibration. Overall results show that, even if the TCEV distribution was conceived to estimate peak flow, its concept of “double component” can be extended to predict sediment yield on a regional scale.

Coverage Prediction

The placement of an Access Point (AP) is an important key to determine the spread of the signal. To get the optimal spread of signals, a network designer is required to understand how much coverage an AP can generate. A prediction is given to describe the coverage area produced based on AP placement for the wireless campus network, using a coordinate map modeling based on the real size for the indoor environment. The theoretical approach is used to determine the coverage area of an AP device by testing the function of the distance between the AP and the user. The results show that the signal generated by an AP will cover the entire area that is still on the LOS propagation path. The coverage area generated through AP placement in this case study reached 77.5%. The maximum distance between the AP and the user so that it is within the coverage area is 13.851m. There are still areas that are not covered by the AP, especially for the NLOS propagation path because of the obstruction around the AP.

Abstract. The development of semidistributed hydrological models that reflect the dominant processes controlling streamflow spatial variability is a challenging task. This study addresses this problem by investigating the case of the Thur catchment (Switzerland), an alpine and pre–alpine catchment that, while having a moderate (1702 km2) extension, presents a large spatial variability in terms of climate, landscape, and streamflow (measured at 10 subcatchments). The methodology for model development consists of a two–stages approach. In a first stage, we use correlation and regression analysis to identify the main influencing factors on the spatial variability of streamflow signatures. Results of this analysis show that precipitation (rainfall or snow) controls signatures of seasonality and water balance, while landscape characteristics (especially geology) control signatures of hydrograph shape (e.g. baseflow index and flashiness index). In a second stage, we use the results of the previous analysis to develop a semidistributed hydrological model that is consistent with the data. Model experiments confirm that only hydrological models that account for the heterogeneity of precipitation and geology produce hydrographs that have signatures similar to the observed ones. These models provide consistent results in space–time validation, which is promising for prediction in ungauged conditions. The presented methodology can be transferred to other case studies, since the data used in this work (meteorological variables, streamflow, morphology and geology maps) is available in many regions around the globe.

Internet connections still use IPv4 as the primary address protocol and it is now facing exhaustion. However, academic institutions specifically in the Philippines should devise steps to address the exhaustion of IPv4. In this paper, this is brought to light as we present the IPv4 to IPv6 campus transition techniques to address the issue. The experiment is carried out in Central Luzon State University and is assessed if the university is able to adopt the IPv6 transition in their campus network. Two IPv6 transition mechanisms were implemented and tested. As a general result, it has been found out, through testbeds, that the dual-stack transition mechanism is more suitable than 6 to 4 tunnel broker. The results have also shown that 6 to 4 tunnel broker was outperformed by dual-stack transition mechanism in all areas and presents better performance. Additionally, results also showed that IPv4 presents slight advantages in terms of network performance than IPv6 with a very small percentage in difference, and this does mean that migration to IPv6 is possible without performance detriments. Furthermore, the results also provide a proof of concept for the university especially in the Philippines to consider IPv6 for future migration within their campus network.

Empirical Material

The study was performed using the solidarity approach proposed by E. L. Omelchenko. The term "solidarity" is convenient to study the contemporary developments in youth culture as it does not require a direct interaction of subjects, the unity of time and space in which they act. The aim of the work is to study the features of solidarity formation among street artists in graffiti tourism. The empirical material is the case study of Samara street artist Art Abstractov, who has many years of experience in graffiti tourism. The author identifies two stages in the organization and implementation of graffiti tourism: on-line and off-line stages. Considering the first stage, the author describes the role of electronic resources in the development of the street art culture: blog electronic databases, specialized sites such as Art Crimes, 149 St., graffiti.org, Ekosystem, ViVaCity.ru, Petrograff.ru, Vltramarine, social networks such as Livejournal, VKontakte, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, image hosting sites such as Flickr, Pinterest, etc. The paper examines the specifics of social networking among street artists at the international level and the nature of solidarity in the virtual space between the street artists not personally known to each other. The second stage of graffiti tourism is considered as a form of consolidation of solidarities among street artists from different countries. The author describes the role of the host and the benefits that the tourist gets from such trips. The author comes to the conclusion that solidarity is transformed into other forms of social communities over time and helps to enter a new social environment.
