Abstract:

This study used both a questionnaire and personal interviews to gather information on women's networking organizations. The information was compared to a study of similar organizations in the United Kingdom. The questionnaires did not support or disprove the results of the previous study. Personal interviews of 5 networking organization leaders supported some of the conclusions of the United Kingdom study. Organizations that limited their membership to members of a particular group or profession and focused on training were more apolitical. Those organizations with more inclusive membership po

The aim of this study is to compare the cause of the, to date, three onlycommercial nuclear power plant accidents. These are very complex incidents,which have dire impact on society and the environment and therefore benefitfrom further investigation, if there lays a possibility of identifying factors thatcould prevent further accidents in the future. In order to investigate this theactions and decisions that lead up to each nuclear meltdown was identified andcompared.The investigation was based on a qualitative study on three cases of nuclearmeltdown accidents.

Abstract:

Recent developments in energy harvesting techniques allowed implementation of completely autonomous biosensor nodes. However, an energy harvesting device generally demands a customized power management unit (PMU) in order to provide the adequate voltage supply for the biosensor. One of the key blocks within this PMU is a regulation DC-DC converter. In this Master Thesis, the most relevant switched-capacitor DC-DC converter topologies that are suitable for biosensors are compared. The topology that can achieve the best efficiency and has the minimum area is chosen and designed. In order to main

This project is a comprehensive investigation into the application of the exchange interaction, particularly with the realization of the SWAP^1/n quantum operator, in quantum information processing.

The goal of this project was to calculate how much wind power could be balanced with hydro power in our designated area consisting of five hydro power stations, four villages which consume power, possible locations for wind power and one connection to the national grid. To achieve this a simulation model was constructed in the GAMS software with the goal of achieving the maximum profit from the hydro power plants by considering electricity prices, inflow of water, the physical construction of the power plants and the time of year. When this was achieved, restriction for the maximum transmissio

Abstract:

The central concern of this study is to identify the role of power and politics in systems implementation. The current literature on systems implementation is typically divided into two areas, process modelling and factor based studies. Process modelling classifies the implementation into a linear process, whereas factor based studies have argued that in order to successfully implement a system, particular critical factors are required. This literature misses the complexities involved in systems implementation through the human factors and political nature of systems implementation and is si

Abstract:

The contemporary practice of the internal-external divide in foreign policy is being challenged by globalization's non-territorial logic. This challenge is reformulated as information globalization; a border-crossing trend of social exposure to alternative ideas jointly precipitated by the global reach of information and communication technologies, global capitalism, and post-Cold War geopolitical fluidity. The agents and processes associated with it confound any orderly delineation of 'the foreign'. This can be understood as an ideational threat to the nation-state in terms of generating a pu

As Internet of Things (IoT) technology continues to become more commonplace, demand for self-sustainable and low-power networking schemes has increased. Future IoT devices will require a ubiquitous energy source and will need to be capable of low power communication. RF energy can be harvested through ambient or dedicated RF sources to satisfy this energy demand. In addition, these RF signals can be modified to convey information.

High performance integrated circuits suffer from a permanent increase of the dissipated power per square millimeter of silicon, over the past years.

In the opposite direction is the market growth of mainstream portable devices, which require extremely low power consumption. These evolving factors brought power dis

<p> With the rise of global telecommunications networks, and especially with the worldwide spread of the Internet, the world is considered to be becoming an information society: a society in which social relations are patterned by information, transcending time and space through the use of new information and communications technologies. Much of the popular press and academic literature on the information society focuses on the dichotomy between the technologically-enabled virtual space of information, and the physical space of the material world. </p><p> My examination of Internet infrastru

Abstract:

Il compressed sensing è un’innovativa tecnica per l’acquisizione dei dati, che mira all'estrazione del solo contenuto informativo intrinseco di un segnale. Ciò si traduce nella possibilità di acquisire informazione direttamente in forma compressa, riducendo la quantità di risorse richieste per tale operazione. In questa tesi è sviluppata un'architettura hardware per l'acquisizione di segnali analogici basata sul compressed sensing, specializzata al campionamento con consumo di potenza ridotto di segnali biomedicali a basse frequenze. Lo studio è svolto a livello di sistema mediante l'integrazi

Abstract:

Conventionally, the era that begins after the death of celebrated Ottoman sultan Suleyman I in 1566 is seen as the beginning of Ottoman decline. In line with the decline paradigm, late sixteenth century is also accepted as a time of political turmoil. This period is characterized by constant power struggles among Ottoman ruling elite and the deterioration of the classical Ottoman political order. Concerning the rise of new power elite (favourites) in the court and bureaucracy vis-a-vis the decreasing power of the sultans and grand vezirs, "evil counsellors" and the inaccessibility of th

碩士<br>淡江大學<br>國際事務與戰略研究所碩士班<br>95<br>With the spread of the Internet all over the world in 1991, human history stepped into a whole new era, one totally different from the agricultural society and the industrial society. Due to the development of the information technology as well as the popularization of the microcomputer technology, the term “informationization” has been gradually misunderstood as “computerization.” Since the very essential definition of “information” was misinterpreted, it was unlikely for people to correctly realize the influence of “information” upon the society and the s
