...American University of Sharjah – Computer Engineering College Presented by: Larbi Yazid b00052497 under the supervision of Dr Tarik Ozkul Academic year: 2013-2014 Technological review about MICROCONTROLLER CONFIGURED FOR EXTERNAL MEMORY DECRYPTION Abstract This article will address the publication "MICROCONTROLLER CONFIGURED FOR EXTERNAL MEMORY DECRYPTION" in technological and systematic perspective. First, there will be a brief description of the structure and functioning of the microcontroller. Then, we'll try to answer some questions that can pass through the mind when reading the publication. At the end the Article could also offer suggestions or other perspectives for future research. Description of the existent system The microcontroller of the present study is used in an infrastructure called "Advanced Metering Infrastructure" to measure the energy consumption. The infrastructure is represented as a network of several nodes interconnected by RF radio links or power line communication, where one of these nodes called "Root Node" connects the remaining nodes to the central station called Central Office via a network such as the Internet. Central Office contains a data management system for processing data received from different nodes, it is meant by the processing of these data: analysis, filtering, extraction, projection, simulation and naturally backup and archiving. The Central Office may be in one geographic location or at multiple sites in the case of a distributed...

...Crime and the affecting factors of the criminal behavior Prof. Dr. Ayman Elzeiny First : - Introduction to crime : The information about the crime reaches to the public may be through the newspapers , television programs, films, and novels . Some of us have accumulated experience with crime by having ourselves been victims or knowing others who have been victims, some by being offenders (or at least defendants), or knowing such individuals, and others by being occupationally concerned with prevention of crime or supervision of people found guilty of violating the law . There's many difficulties to offer a wholly satisfactory definition of the crime, a word frequently used and a phenomenon often encountered . For the purposes of scholarly study specifically, the amassing of reliable statistics, development of explanations and theories, and preparation of sound public policy a definition more exact than the mental images held by the public is essential . Crime is a by-product of civilization. Most civilized members of society obey authority and conform to the norms prevailing in their culture. Their obedience and compliance may vary in degree, but law-abiding citizens remain within the limits of tolerance. Crime then is a sociopolitical event subject to the definitions of the society in which it occurs. The social response to crime in terms of treatment of offenders is dependent upon the advance of the civilization and the affluence of the society...

Servicing a satellite means to somehow make it so a satellite’s design life is lengthened. This can be accomplished by refueling, assisting in orbit placement, and/or performing mechanical repairs. Satellite servicing has been done already in the past during manned space missions. The problem arises when the attempt is to be made on satellites outside of human intervention like those in High Earth Orbits (HEO). The ESA and d NASA have both put forth their ideas on how to service satellites in space. The Refueler/Depot idea suggested by NASA has the plan to launch a large satellite into space in two parts. One part is the Refueler, which is agile and movable and can dock with cooperating satellites. The other half is the Depot which stores the hydrazine fuel but remains in a constant orbit above the GEO belt. ESA’s idea is of a single satellite that will...

...all students. Expectations for student behavior are high in every school. The Code of Student Conduct is revised annually to align with state and federal laws and to address other issues critical to providing a safe and quality educational environment. Included in the Code of Conduct are expectations for behavior on school buses that you should be aware of even if your child does not ride a bus to or from school since these expectations apply for field trips, athletic contest trips and other school approved activities. To ensure consistency with student understanding of school division expectations, the Code of Student Conduct is reviewed at the beginning of each school year. In addition, I urge each parent to read and review this material with your child to ensure that you understand our expectations prior to any potential issues. Being unaware of the rules of conduct and behavior is not a defense if your child actually violates any item covered in the Code of Student Conduct. Also included is the Responsible Use of Technology policy and Procedures for Social Media for you to review with your child prior to their use of our school-based technology. I encourage every parent to pay very close attention to your child’s use of computers, cell phones and other electronic devices as they can present a very real...

...Virtual Teams: A Review of Current Literature and Directions for Future Research1 The DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems Anne Powell Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Gabriele Piccoli Cornell University Blake Ives University of Houston Winter 2004 (Vol. 35, No. 1) Introduction Global competition, reengineered product life cycles, mass customization, and the increased need to respond quickly to customers’ needs are just some of the more pronounced trends currently driving organizational change (Grenier & Metes, 1995; Miles & Snow, 1986; Miles & Snow, 1992). One of the building blocks of these successful organizations is the Virtual Team. As a consequence, a growing number of organizations are implementing them or plan to implement them in the near future (Lipnack &Stamps, 1997; McDonough et al., 2001) and their use is expected to continue to grow (Carmel & Agarwal, 2001; McDonough et al., 2001). The increasing popularity of virtual teams has spurred a parallel growth in research examining various aspects of virtual team adoption and use. Recent research has studied virtual team inputs, socioemotional processes, task processes, and outcomes. Much of this literature focuses on comparisons of virtual teams and traditional teams. Virtual Teams Traditionally, both the terms “team” and “group” have been used to describe small collections of people at work. While the two terms are often used interchangeably...

Ausness* Leasing has become an increasingly popular substitute f or outright purchases as a means o f acquiring products f or use. Few courts a nd commentators, however, have addressed the question o f whether the principles o f strict products liability which apply to sellers also apply to lessors. I n this Article, Professor Ausness reviews the historical basisfor imposing strict liability in tort on sellers a nd applies these rationales to five basic kinds o f lease transactions. H e concludes that strict liability should not apply when a product defect arises after the leased product is placed in the hands o f the lessee (as contrasted with the more typical case o f " manufacturing defects" which arise when the product is manufactured), nor when the leased product is a fixture attached to real property. I n such cases, the lessor should be held to a negligence standard o f liability. However, in a ll other cases, the rationalesfor imposing strict liability on sellers apply as well to lessors a nd support...
