...WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS AND MOBILE COMPUTING Wirel. Commun. Mob. Comput. 2004; 4:247–249 (DOI: 10.1002/wcm.220) Guest Editorial Special Issue: Scalability Issues in Wireless Networks— Architectures, Protocols and Services By Amitabh Mishra, Guest Editor Scalability of computer-communication networks has been an important topic for quite some time. Internet community examined the services and protocols for scalability, and switching and routing researchers looked at the scalability of the switches and routers. Service providers studied the application architectures of the services for the scalable performance that they need to provide to subscribers and, the maintenance folks paid attention to scalability of service provisioning algorithms, protocols and software. Similarly, the wireless networking community has also started to look at the scalability issues that are relevant to wireless cellular, wireless local, as well as wireless personal area networks besides the emerging area of infrastructure-less networks such as ad-hoc and sensor networks. Surprisingly there is significant scope for research in the wireless scalability area as it relates to the ad hoc and sensor networks and this is one of the reasons why this topic was chosen for a special issue. A wireless sensor network is likely to have a large number of nodes perhaps in thousands to millions and that may create, potentially, numerous scaling problems in the networking protocols, addressing schemes, hardware architectures...

...DepEd chief: Moving start of classes to September will only benefit some areas KIMBERLY JANE TAN, GMA NewsAugust 14, 2012 3:30pm 61 4 2 1307 Tags: Department of Education Moving the opening of classes to September will only benefit some areas and not the entire country, Department of Education Secretary Armin Luistro said Tuesday. "When I looked at the data it looks like there is very little additional advantage, benefit for schools if you look at things nationwide," Luistro said at a Senate hearing on the K to 12 basic education program. Luistro said that proposals to move the opening of classes from June to September will probably just benefit the National Capital Region (NCR). "Obviously we cannot have a different start of the school year recognizing that the country may have different ways of experiencing the weather," he said. "I think the benefit of moving it to September may be confined to maybe NCR and a few other regions, but that may not necessarily translate to additional safety realities for the other regions," he added. Two climate types PAGASA acting deputy administrator for research and development Flaviana Hilario explained that the country has two climate types: Western areas of the country such as the NCR and Central Luzon fall under type 1 climate, which experiences rain from May to September. Eastern areas such as Aurora and the Bicol region experience type 2 climate, with their rainy season lasting from October to January...

Jesus’ two direct experiences with the death penalty Jesus confronted the death penalty directly and explicitly twice in his life, and both times he rejected it. (A) The woman being stoned John 8:1-11 says: Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning he came to the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them. The scribes and Pharisees brought him a woman who had been caught committing adultery. They set her in the midst and said to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us that she should be stoned, but what do you say? They said this to tempt him so they might be...

...Essential Facts for Physical Science Scientific Investigation, Reasoning, and Logic 1. SI (metric) measures, recognized around the world, are a standard way to make measurements. 2. Bar graphs, line graphs, and circle graphs are powerful tools for displaying and interpreting data. 3. To communicate the plan of an experiment accurately, the independent variable, dependent variable, and constants must be explicitly defined. 4. The number of repeated trials needs to be considered in the context of the investigation. 5. Controls are used to establish a standard for comparing the results of manipulating the independent variable. 6. Controls receive no experimental treatment. 7. The analysis of data from a systematic investigation may provide the researcher with a basis to reach a reasonable conclusion. 8. Scientific methodology almost always begins with a question, is based on observation and evidence, and requires logic and reasoning. 9. Not all systematic investigations are experimental. 10. It is important to communicate systematically the design and results of an investigation so that questions, procedures, tools, results, and conclusions can be understood. Matter 11. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. 12. Matter is made up of small particles called atoms. 13. Matter can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas. 14. Matter can be classified as elements, compounds, and mixtures...

...The concept of ‘cut-offs’ almost exclusively been dealt with as a form of repair (Jaspersen 1998, Schegloff 1977) where we find ‘a compression or foreshortening of words (or syllables) in ongoing talk’ in order to attend to a trouble source (Local &; Walker. 2004. 1394). What the literature lacks, however, is an observation of such forms that do not attempt to’ repair’ any notion of linguistic trouble. Such instances of these ‘cut-offs’ are evident in the language, and also appear to share common contextual and sequential properties. When we claim that something is an instance of repair we mean that speakers are adhering to ‘problems in speaking, hearing and understanding’ within the conversation (Schegloff, Jefferson & Sacks: 1977: 362). Importantly, however, it must be acknowledged that repair can appear without an overtly observable ‘error’. (Schegloff, Jefferson & Sacks: 1977: 362). Laasko and Sorjonen claim that ‘cutting off’ is a form of self-repair that features within an ongoing turn-constructional unit and as a result ‘the utterance is heard as prosodically discontinuous and incomplete’(2010). In most cases speakers cut off a word in progress, although alternatively the speaker may cut off after the completion of a word. One of the ways we find non-repair cut offs are those that acknowledge ‘topic-external factors’. These include disjunctional observations or subjects that are disconnected from the topic and most often linked to contextual issues or...

...General Objective: To know and understand the addressing mode and programming. Specific Objectives: At the end of the unit you should be able to: 4.1 classify and describe the addressing modes 4.2 explain the concept of programming 4.3 discuss the implementation structure of programming 0. INTRODUCTION Programming is a process of composing several instructions to perform certain tasks. The product of the programming is called a program which contains several instructions. The skill of programming is to know the best or optimum composition of selective instructions to performs the required tasks. In other words, we may classify these skills into uniform concepts as structure of programming implementation. These structure shall bear the emphasis to: • what instructions (selectable from a complete list of instructions as a tools list) essential and best to perform a certain task; • how these instructions are organized into a sub program which can be reused or recalled as many times as possible to perform the identical task with different set of data; • to preserve the minimum lines of instruction but performs the maximum tasks. The less instruction lines require less operating times, thus expetite the implementation speed. The main proccess of program (instructions) implementation is nothing else just the manipulation of data. We need to know how to identify the source of data, procedure to fetch these...
