The present study raises the concept of network technical anonymity, and designs its corresponding evaluation indicators and model, in order to provide the basis and methods for the evaluation of how anonymous a behavioral agent is on the net. Network technical anonymity is defined as the difficulty in tracking the real identity of a network agent. Five indicators have been designed as follows:...

Educational Technology can empower teachers and learners, promote change and foster the development of twenty-first century skills. Improving education quality is a priority for most developing countries in which governments are facing a challenge to identify efficient ways to use their scarce resources and raise the quality of education. Data to support these beliefs are still limited, especia...

Computer Aided Design (PSCAD) is used to model a Centralized PV Source, Battery Bank, and Distribution Network for 25 DC Houses. Design and modeling of each component in the proposed system are described. For the performance evaluation, emphasis is on voltage stability and system reliability under different operating conditions. Results from the simulation demonstrate the feasibility of the pro...

Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) are a means to categorize the relative technical maturity of components, sub-systems, or systems. Technological or technical maturity is a measure of performance, reliability, durability, and operating experience, and more technologically mature components (better performing, more reliable, more durable, greater operating experience) are rated higher than expe...

Drawing on fieldwork among environmental activists and housing advocates in one of South Asia’s fastest-growing cities—and the capital of one of the world’s most politically volatile nation-states— this article explores how and when specific forms of urban housing were problematized and reformed through environmental logics. I ask when and how housing was framed as an environmental problem in K...

Methods A technical evaluation of the capabilities of the Red Maple Trials Allergen Challenge Theatre was performed. The theatre is a 4-zone facility holding up to 99 seats in a series of elevated rows. Grass (Phleum pratense) and ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) pollens were injected into the air supply and blown into the facility through ducts located across the top of the front wall. Grass ...

hydrocephalus is a common finding in patient with extensive intracranial pathology. this finding may have obvious cause or even happened by a subtle abnormality. some of the normal looking ventricles are really hydrocephalus when compare with previous images and some are due to nph. communicating and non-communicating hydrocephalus should be separated to divided pathologic causes. this session ...

This report summarizes the results of our evaluation of antennas of contactless and dual interface smartcards and our ideas for user-switchable NFC antennas. We show how to disassemble smartcards with contactless capabilities in order to obtain the bare chip module and the bare antenna wire. We examine the design of various smartcard antennas and present concepts to render the contactless inter...
