Ethical concerns arise when a person carrying a receiver has their location transmitted to second party. This type of tracking has a wide variety of applications including tracking dementia sufferers, tracking parolees and law enforcement. A literature review found that the ethics of GPS tracking has not been thoroughly assessed. This paper investigates the ethical issues arising from the real time tracking of people using GPS-based location services. Usability context analysis and an observational study were the methodology used in this study. Usability context analysis provided insight into GPS tracking over the contexts of care, control and...

...Running Head: DIFFERENTIAL GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM 1 Differential Global Positioning Systems Clay Guida Southern Illinois University DIFFERENTIAL GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM 2 Global Positioning Systems (GPS) have become one of the greatest innovations of the modern world. Simply put, your personal guide to anywhere in the world. It can accurately get a fix on your position to within 100 meters. This is where most people would say that their GPS gets them down to ten meters or less, and they would be right. But it is GPS in coordination with the Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) that gets them that accurate of a location. To understand this we must start from the beginning and go over GPS’s history. From there we will take a look at what causes some of the inaccuracies that GPS can. Then we can see how DGPS counters these and gives you the most accurate reading you can have. Differential Global Positioning System, GPS’s right hand man for accuracy. To understand how a DGPS helps a GPS we start at the beginning of it’s short history. Though made for use by the United States government, it was the Soviet Union that launched Sputnik in 1957 and gave us the idea. After the launch, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researches observed that they could pick up the radio signal that Sputnik was producing. They also realized that the sound of this transmission varied with the...

...This general problem is known as the vehicle routing problem.Solving the vehicle routing problem involves determining how many vehicles are required to service the destinations, and developing a route and schedule for each one. Because there are many variations of the problem, it can be very dillicult to solve. TransCAD provides a rich set of vehicle routing tools that solve various types of routing problerns,These tools are used to prepare input data, solve the routing problem, and provide tabular and graphical output of the resulting routes and vehicle schedules. The starting points for each route (such as the warehouse in the above example) are known as depots, and the points to be visited are known as stops. A vehicle route starts at a depot, visits one ormore stops, and may or may not return to the depot. The goal of the procedure is to obtain a set of routes that minimizes the total time or discance traveled by the entire fleet of vehicles. The travel times or distances are stored in the vehicle routing matrix.You can use a network to calculate the network driving time or distance, or you can use straight line distances to create your vehicle routing matrix. You must use a network-based vehicle routing matrix if you want to display the routes on a map as a route system layer.Time window- There are time restrictions on when deliveries can be made to some or all of the stores Each stop requires a certain amount of time to service. The service time can have a fixed component...

...Physical Geography Chapter 1: The Discipline of Geography Principles of Geography Geography is the study of the distributions and interrelationships of earth phenomena. Geography is different from other disciplines in that it doesn't have a particular "thing" it studies. Botanists study plants, while geologists are interested in rocks. Geography is defined by its approach or methodology. Geographers describe their discipline as a spatial science. By "space" we aren't talking about celestial space. Geographers are concerned with answering questions about how and why phenomena vary across the surface of the Earth. For instance, geographers investigate patterns of vegetation as they relate to distributions of climate, soils, and topography. Geographers recognize the dynamic nature of Earth's physical systems. The physical geography of Earth changes in response to variations in weather and climate, the shifting of continents, and and the sculpting of coastlines by wave action. By recognizing the Earth system is dynamic, geographers take time into consideration when looking at the spatial patterns of Earth phenomena. Therefore, geographers are playing important roles in understanding the effects of climate change on earth systems. The role of geographers in assessing patterns of environmental change is a theme that reoccurs throughout this book.

...Criminal Justice Integration 1. Criminal Justice Integration Paper Criminal Justice Integration 2. Introduction Learning Team A has agreed on a number of things to be discussed in our paper. Organizational structure of the criminal justice system, agency policies: inclusive of statutory authorities, budgets: projected revenue sources and expenditures, communication, technology, and cultural or sub-cultural aspects of organization. The development of improved interactions between security agencies, courts, law enforcement personnel as well as community and institutional corrections over the next 15 years need fragile focus and planning. Agency policies of each of the above organizations must cast back the certain needs of the population change. The funds of these organizations play a easily pained role in the enlarged portion of what can and cannot be given to communities. Open and close up transmission of severe information between criminal justice material could bring about problems if they are not trustworthy. They must rely on one another for support.

...E TENSION AZ1535 ARIZONA COOP E R AT I V E December, 2010 Things to Know About Applying Precision Agriculture Technologies in Arizona Pedro Andrade-Sanchez and John T. Heun Precision Agriculture (PA) technologies can enhance the productivity of irrigated agriculture in Arizona. This guide is intended to aid growers in selecting the right technology when considering the need to acquire new, or upgrade existing equipment. It is expected that growers will adopt new technology only when it solves a problem in an economical way, therefore consultation with your local machinery dealer is a key step in being informed on issues such as cost, service, infrastructure requirements, and compatibility between components, systems, brands, etc. Use of Mechanized Technology and Farm Management Technological innovation in U.S agriculture has been the basis for the outstanding gains in productivity that have been achieved (Fuglie et al., 2007). In the area of energy use, significant progress was made after the transition from animal drawn implements to mechanized operations. By 1945, the use of tractors was preferred due to its versatility (Culpin, 1992). Early in this transition power units used gasoline engines, but by now, tractors and self-propelled agricultural machines make use almost exclusively of diesel engines due to their extended durability and continuous power delivery characteristics. Seeking higher levels of field capacity, modern U.S. agriculture has experienced...

...Types of Research 1 How can we teach students about the dangers of social media? Descriptive Research Educational PsychologyJanuary 29, 2011 Types of Research 2 How can we teach students about the dangers of social media? Descriptive Research Research can be explained as a process that gathers data to answer questions. Research is used in many applications to obtain knowledge and across many disciplines and industries. It can become the cornerstone for developing new concepts or products, treatments and cures, safety, policy and strategies, or even used simply to answer a question and provide information for decisions. Four types of research are: descriptive, correlational, experimental, and action. Descriptive Research Descriptive research uses tools such as “tests, surveys, interviews and observations to describe the status of characteristics of a situation or phenomenon” (Eggen & Kauchak, 2010, p. 15). Educators often use tests to answer achievement questions and assess instructional programs. Tests can also be used to compare external programs to obtain baseline measures of similarities and differences. Surveys can assess attitudes and feelings about programs or specific educational approaches. The results are used to shape program enhancements or changes to current practices. Observations are perhaps the most significant source of current status. Watching reactions, listening to interactions, observing expressive feelings, or seeing expressions of emotions...
