  • A computational-based methodology for the rapid determination of initial AP location for WLAN deployment

    Creator:
    Altamirano, Esteban
    Abstract:
    The determination of the optimal location of transceivers is a critical design factor when deploying a wireless local area network (WLAN). The performance of the WLAN will improve in a variety of aspects when the transceivers' locations are adequately determined, including the overall cell coverage to the battery life of...

  • A usability comparison of PDA-based quizzes and paper-and-pencil quizzes

    Creator:
    Segall, Noa
    Abstract:
    In the last few years, many schools and universities have incorporated personal digital assistants (PDAs) into their teaching curricula, in an attempt to enhance students' learning experience and reduce instructors' workload. One of the most common uses of PDAs in the classroom is as a test administrator. This study compared...

  • An artificial neural network approach to laser-based direct part marking of data matrix symbols

    Creator:
    Jangsombatsiri, Witaya
    Abstract:
    Certain applications have recently appeared in industry where a traditional bar code printed on a label will not survive because the item to be tracked has to be exposed to harsh environments. Laser direct-part marking is a manufacturing process used to create permanent marks on a substrate that could help...

  • Effects of vegetation and disturbance on fungal communities in the western Cascades of Oregon

    Creator:
    Kageyama, Stacie Ann, 1967-
    Abstract:
    The use of high throughput molecular methods that allow for the study of bacterial communities in environmental samples is commonplace in microbial ecology. Until recently, fungal community ecology has focused on isolation, collection of sporocarps, or collection of ectomycorrhizal roots. The techniques used to extract and amplify DNA from environmental...
