As consumers are getting better at avoiding the traditional marketing campaigns companies are using, it has become crucial for companies to differentiate their marketing. One way of doing this is to use guerrilla marketing, a marketing type more extreme, innovative and attention capturing than traditional marketing. The purpose of this thesis is to explore how the use of guerrilla marketing aff...

14 Spring 2010/ Vol. 16, No. 3 www.acm.org/crossroads Crossroads Besides public data repositories, scientific collaborations maintain community-wide data resources. For example, in gravitational-wave physics, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory [3] maintains geographically distributed repositories holding time-series data collected by the instruments and their associated met...

Muscle contractions that load in-series springs with slow speed over a long duration do maximal work and store the most elastic energy. However, time constraints, such as those experienced during escape and predation behaviours, may prevent animals from achieving maximal force capacity from their muscles during spring-loading. Here, we ask whether animals that have limited time for elastic ener...

Instead of forwarding to a specific device or to all devices in a group, anycast addresses, let network devices forward a packet to (or steer it through) one or more topologically nearest devices in a specific group of network devices. The use of anycast addresses has been extended to the Segment Routing (SR) network, wherein a group of SR-capable devices can represent a anycast address, by hav...

This discussion encompasses the various types of human capital intangible assets. Some of these human capital intangibles qualify as intellectual property. Of course, like general commercial intangible assets, many human capital intangibles do not qualify as intellectual property. The most common type of human capital intangible is a business unit’s trained and assembled workforce. The assemble...

In Tunisia, protesters escalated calls for the restoration of the country's suspended constitution. Meanwhile, Egyptians rose in revolt as strikes across the country brought daily life to a halt and toppled the government. In Libya, provincial leaders worked feverishly to strengthen their newly independent republic. It was 1919. That year's events demonstrate that the global diffusion of inform...

Next generation, critical, hard real{time systems will require greater exibility, dependability, and predictability than is commonly found in today's systems. These future systems include the space station, integrated vision/robotics/AI systems, collections of humans/robots coordinating to achieve common objectives (usually in hazardous environments such as undersea exploration or chemical plan...

Our new feature is a section with articles on teacher preparation. The Physics Teacher Education Coalition (PhysTEC), an APS/AAPT/AIP program, will be soliciting these articles and organizing this section. PhysTEC provides dramatic improvement of science preparation of physics, physical science, and elementary teachers, developing programs that work at a wide range of institutions. Our thanks t...
