Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Internet revolution continues to unfold and transform telecommunications, pressure is building for faster, less expensive, and more widely accessible broadband service. Such a development would facilitate improved and less expensive traditional applications such as voice telephony and web browsing. It would also enable new and useful applications such as Internet-based television, videoconferencing, and software distribution. Broadband has great potential to improve efficiency and productivity, even to improve national security in some cases. Broadband service and affordability, however, have consistently lagged well behind demand and progress in information technology, with damaging results. The Internet revolution remains incomplete and threatens to stagnate if the situation continues. In The Broadband Problem, economist and technology entrepreneur Charles H. Ferguson explains the causes and ramifications of this damaging bottleneck, and he offers suggestions on improving the current state of affairs. He asserts that current telecommunications law and policy have not provided sufficient levels of new entry, competition, and innovation in the local telecom market. The continuing dominance of ILECs (incumbent local exchange carriers) in that market impedes the healthy, and much-needed, development of an efficient broadband market. The result of these policy and market failures is inadequate technological progress, innovation, and productivity in advanced Internet services and telecommunication services generally. The broadband problem is holding us back, and thus must be addressed and solved. With this important volume, Charles Ferguson has contributed mightily to that mission.

Book excerpt: This report presents findings of a workshop featuring representatives of Internet Service Providers and others with access to data and insights about how the Internet performed on and immediately after the September 11 attacks. People who design and operate networks were asked to share data and their own preliminary analyses among participants in a closed workshop. They and networking researchers evaluated these inputs to synthesize lessons learned and derive suggestions for improvements in technology, procedures, and, as appropriate, policy.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Pedagogy - Miscellaneous Topics, grade: 1, , course: POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA, language: English, abstract: The goal of this research is to investigate and analyze learner behavior problems associated with exposure to the internet. The focus area of the research is XY high school located in Kadoma. XY High School is an urban school and most learners have access to electronic gadgets that allow them to access the internet. The researcher has observed that learners have developed some behavioral problems which can be traced to their accessing of internet as some of the behaviors are imminent of cyber cultures. The target population involved a total number of 70 learners derived from both advanced and ordinary level Classes. The School at the time of research had 62 teachers of which only 15 Teachers are involved in the study. Teachers in discipline and counseling department were sampled because they were custodians of behavior and often met students who had behavior issues. They also kept records on which student they had punished and why. Senior Masters and Senior Ladies are the ones who are mainly involved in the counseling of learners along with the disciplinary committee. The disciplinary committee consists of 5 teachers. Basing on the findings of the study, it was recommended that the school administration and teachers in charge of guidance and counseling departments need to inform students about the harmful effects of the internet and excessive use of electronic gadgets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a unified approach to model-based processing for underwater acoustic arrays. The use of physical models in passive array processing is not a new idea, but it has been used on a case-by-case basis, and as such, lacks any unifying structure. This work views all such processing methods as estimation procedures, which then can be unified by treating them all as a form of joint estimation based on a Kalman-type recursive processor, which can be recursive either in space or time, depending on the application. This is done for three reasons. First, the Kalman filter provides a natural framework for the inclusion of physical models in a processing scheme. Second, it allows poorly known model parameters to be jointly estimated along with the quantities of interest. This is important, since in certain areas of array processing already in use, such as those based on matched-field processing, the so-called mismatch problem either degrades performance or, indeed, prevents any solution at all. Thirdly, such a unification provides a formal means of quantifying the performance improvement. The term model-based will be strictly defined as the use of physics-based models as a means of introducing a priori information. This leads naturally to viewing the method as a Bayesian processor. Short expositions of estimation theory and acoustic array theory are presented, followed by a presentation of the Kalman filter in its recursive estimator form. Examples of applications to localization, bearing estimation, range estimation and model parameter estimation are provided along with experimental results verifying the method. The book is sufficiently self-contained to serve as a guide for the application of model-based array processing for the practicing engineer.

This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining analytic theory and modern computer-aided design techniques this volume will enable you to understand and design power transfer networks and amplifiers in next generation radio frequency (RF) and microwave communication systems. A comprehensive theory of circuits constructed with lumped and distributed elements is covered, as are electromagnetic field theory, filter theory, and broadband matching. Along with detailed roadmaps and accessible algorithms, this book provides up-to-date, practical design examples including: filters built with microstrip lines in C and X bands; various antenna matching networks over HF and microwave frequencies; channel equalizers with arbitary gain shapes; matching networks for ultrasonic transducers; ultra wideband microwave amplifiers constructed with lumped and distributed elements. A companion website details all Real Frequency Techniques (including line segment and computational techniques) with design tools developed on MatLab. Essential reading for all RF and circuit design engineers, this is also a great reference text for other electrical engineers and researchers working on the development of communications applications at wideband frequencies. This book is also beneficial to advanced electrical and communications engineering students taking courses in RF and microwave communications technology. www.wiley.com/go/yarman_wideband
