Airconn: A Framework For Tiered Services In Public Wireless Lan Hot Spots, A. Acharya, C. Bisdikian, Archan Misra, Y. Ko

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Access to the data services via wireless LANs at private and public hot spot sites is becoming commonplace. The goal of the airConn project is to define an architecture and a prototype implementation that enable the provision of premium and non-premium service tiers for both transient and nontransient users of wireless hot spots. airConn provides for dynamic renegotiation of service tiers and facilitates various billing modes. Thus, it enables service providers to increase their revenue opportunities via multiple flexibility manageable service offerings.

Informal Animation Sketching: Requirements And Design, Richard C. Davis, James A. Landay

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We present an interface design for creating informal animations from sketches. Current tools for creating animation are extremely complex. This makes it difficult for designers to prototype animations and nearly impossible for novices to create them at all. Simple animation systems exist but severely restrict the types of motion that can be represented. To guide our design of an animation sketching interface, we conducted field studies into the needs of professional and novice animators. These studies show the wide variety of motions that users desire in informal animations and indicate how to prioritize these types of otion. The interface described …

Comments On "A Practical (T, N) Threshold Proxy Signature Scheme Based On The Rsa Cryptosystem", Guilin Wang, Feng Bao, Jianying Zhou, Robert H. Deng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In a (t, n) threshold proxy signature scheme based on RSA, any t or more proxy signers can cooperatively generate a proxy signature while t-1 or fewer of them can't do it. The threshold proxy signature scheme uses the RSA cryptosystem to generate the private and the public key of the signers. In this article, we discuss the implementation and comparison of some threshold proxy signature schemes that are based on the RSA cryptosystem. Comparison is done on the basis of time complexity, space complexity and communication overhead. We compare the performance of four schemes: Hwang et al., Wen et …

A Brief Note On The Authorship Of The First Flora Virginica: Clayton, Gronovius, And Linnaeus, Joan K. Stemmler

Virginia Journal of Science

A modern Flora of Virginia will soon be published, providing an occasion to remember the publication of the first Flora Virginica in the 18th century and to establish the proper attribution of its authorship. Based on a manuscript by John Clayton, Flora Virginica was published in two parts in 1739 and 1743 by the Dutchman Johan Frederick Gronovius. Although both names are printed on the title page, the book is often cited with Gronovius listed as the author. This tradition, interpreted in modern understandings of plagiarism, has led to an assertion that Gronovius misrepresented Clayton's work as his own. This …

Fordist Applied Research In The Era Of The Five-Dollar Day, Georgios P. Loizides, Subhash R. Sonnad

Peer Reviewed Articles

This article provides a description of the early attempts at applied social research and research driven policies and procedures used in the assessment of the employees and the consequent rewards and punishments meted out by the Ford Motor Company during the late Progressive Era. An additional aim of this paper is to show the relevance and signijkance of these attempts and to examine the extent to which early Ford research can inform our applied research today. In particular, this study examines the early data collection efforts by investigators of the Ford Motor Company Sociological Department. These took place in the …

Looking For Law In China I: Themes And Issues In Western Studies Of Chinese Law, Stanley B. Lubman

Hong Yen Chang Center for Chinese Legal Studies

I have been studying Chinese law since the early 1960s – some have said that I began before there was any. The field has expanded so far beyond its narrow scope at that time that this overview will illustrate an old Chinese saying: "riding a horse and looking at flowers." I will first review the growth of this scholarly field, because it is necessary to understand that there are layers of scholarship that reflect first the paucity of formal legal institutions in Maoist China, then the appearance of first shoots of new or rebuilt institutions, and only recently the publication …

Turn The Other Cheek, Or Demand An Eye For An Eye? Religious Persecution In China And An Effective Western Response, Ellen S. Reinstein

Connecticut Journal of International Law

The Western world has watched in amazement over the past decade as the number of religious practitioners has rapidly increased in the People's Republic of China. Although no solid census has been taken, it is estimated that there now are up to 70 million Protestants and 12 million Catholics in the PRC.' Approximately eight million Uighur Muslims live in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region,2 and most of the 2.6 million ethnic Tibetans continue to practice Tibetan Buddhism.3 In addition, many Chinese are now involved in "fringe" religions such as Falun Gong.

This growth and persistence of religion has alarmed Chinese …

Asylum Protection For The Mentally Disabled: How The Evolution Of Rights For The Mentally Ill In The United States Created A "Social Group", Laura E. Hortas

Connecticut Journal of International Law

The tradition of asylum law in the United States reflects the nation's ideals of freedom and opportunity and its desire to welcome the oppressed of other countries. Over time, however, the government has tempered this humanitarian goal with controls and restrictions on who can gain asylum, including statutory criteria that include "persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion."' The definition of "membership in a particular social group," adopted from the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, is the least clearly defined category …

Interactions Between The Local Government And The Traditional Authorities, Tara Boulton

African Diaspora ISPs

This study looks at the interactions between the traditional authorities and the local government in Ghana. By first approaching the interface from the historical context, a foundation is crated for better understanding current perceptions. Members of the two systems were interviewed on their roles in development and maintenance of law and order at the local level. These interviews identified present areas of conflict, enabling the prescription of more efficient interactions in the future. The study concludes that stress on the local government could be effectively alleviated through increased conversation with the traditional authorities, specifically by defining representation of the traditional …

Portals To Knowledge: Confluence And Conflict Between Enlightenment And Postmodern Currencies, Benjamin G. Lanier-Nabors

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[Editors' Introduction]

In order to provide any viable critique of twenty-first-century discourses -- whether signified by late capitalism, epistemological hegemony, cultural domination, or globalization (the catch-word for all of these) -- one must not employ an ahistorical or static lens; alternatively, one must dredge up and analyze the sediments that underlie current discourses, and many of these sediments are found in the eighteenth century. More specifically, by reading the thoughts of such writers as Joseph Addison and Jonathan Swift, one is forced to read the links and antipathies between the discursive economies of epistemology -- philosophical, scientific, and economic -- …
