We compare the interactive experiences of two public infrastructures — situated displays and a municipal wireless network — using a conceptual framework of place, experience and embodiment. Using the framework as a point of reference, we can begin to address some inherent design issues in these technologies. Consequently, we argue that urban technologies which take into account their environmen...

This paper analyses and proposes a novel detection strategy for the ‘Chameleon’ WiFi AP-AP virus. Previous research has considered virus construction, likely virus behaviour and propagation methods. The research here describes development of an objective measure of virus success, the impact of product susceptibility, the acceleration of infection and the growth of the physical area covered by t...

The treatment of municipal landfill's leachate is considered as one of the most significant environmental issues. In this study a laboratory experiment was conducted through land treatment, achieving an efficient and economical method by using Vetiver plant. Moreover, the effects of land treatment of leachate of municipal landfills on the natural reduction of organic and inorganic contaminants ...

on self-selected diets and 50 patients (41 males and 9 fe-. males) in a municipal hospital were studied. Oxalated blood samples were collected under fasting conditions about 15 hours post-prandial. The ascorbic acid con,.tent of the whole blood and the plasma was determined by the method of Roe and Kuether (1). The concentration of ascorbic acid in oxalated whole blood and plasma was also deter...

Wireless broadband initiatives for cities are receiving significant attention today. However, while some major cities have already announced citywide wireless networks, the market for municipal wireless broadband is still in the early stages. Most of these large networks will almost certainly experience numerous changes before they are fully deployed. Most of the existing municipal wireless net...

Grounded theory is the most rigorous method of providing preliminary research in an area where research is scarce. Using grounded theory, this paper explores the extent to a recent government initiative failed to achieve its goal. Specifically, the study explored the role of U.S. municipal wireless broadband networks (Mu-Fi) in bridging the so-called “digital divide.” Grounded theory was useful...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are a significant cause of climate change, and municipal solid waste (MSW) is an important source GHG emissions. In this study, from MSW treatment in Beijing during 2006–2019 were accounted, basing on the Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) inventory model; influencing factors affecting analyzed by logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI) model combined wit...
