Reliability of Two Instruments for Auditing the Environment for Physical Activity
Reliability of Two Instruments for Auditing the Environment for Physical Activity ~ Purpose: To understand the relationships between street scale environments and rates of physical activity, it is crucial to develop reliable methods of measurement. Community audits are commonly used to test the walkability andbikability of environments, yet few have been tested for reliability. Methods:Audit [...]

Teaching Statics Online with only Electronic Media on Laptop Computers
Teaching Statics Online with only Electronic Media on Laptop Computers ~ The benefits of electronic media in engineering, such as interactive simulations, three dimensional visualization and animations are widely known, but the implementation has beendifficult because of lack of classroom facilities and student access to the programs. Most of theimplementation problems can be overcome and [...]

AN ANALYSIS OF THE GROWTH OF COMPUTER AND INTERNET SECURITY BREACHES
AN ANALYSIS OF THE GROWTH OF COMPUTER AND INTERNET SECURITY BREACHES ~ This study uses the modified Gompertz model and sparse data to analyze the growth rates ofdifferent types of computer and Internet related crimes. The Gompertz model is an appropriatediffusion model because it is capable of modeling two opposite behaviors: (1) acts of attacks [...]

From network security to content filtering
From network security to content filtering ~ Network security has evolved dramatically in the last few years notonly concerning the tools at our disposal or the threats to which we aresubjected, but in the approach itself,which must be adopted to secure anetwork.In 2000, a robust stateful firewallworking at layer 4 (in ISO/OSI parlance) was considered [...]

CSI Computer Crime & Security Survey
CSI Computer Crime & Security Survey ~ For several years, this survey—perhaps the most widely quoted set of statistics inthe industry—showed a steady drop in average estimated losses due tocybercrime. It seemed counterintuitive to some experts, accustomed to seeing theworst of the crime that’s out there. Last year the tide turned and respondents reported a [...]

Agency and Institutions:A Review of Institutional Entrepreneurship
Agency and Institutions:A Review of Institutional Entrepreneurship ~ This paper analyzes the literature that has been published on institutional entrepreneurshipsince Paul DiMaggio introduced the notion in 1988. Based on a systematic selection andanalysis of articles, the paper outlines an emerging consensus on the definition and process ofinstitutional entrepreneurship. It also presents the previously identified enabling [...]

SERIES RESISTANCE EFFECTS ON SOLAR CELL MEASUREMENTS
SERIES RESISTANCE EFFECTS ON SOLAR CELL MEASUREMENTS ~ Current-voltage characteristics for solar cells can and have in the past been obtained by three different methods. The most commonly used method applies a fixed illumination. usually of known intensity. and a resistive load which is varied between short circuit and open circuit conditions, while measuring the [...]

16.5%-Efficient CdS/CdTe POLYCRYSTALLINE THIN-FILM SOLAR CELL
16.5%-Efficient CdS/CdTe POLYCRYSTALLINE THIN-FILM SOLAR CELL ~ ABSTRACT: Cadmium telluride is a promising photovoltaic material for thin-film solar cells. However, the performance and reproducibility of devices has been limited by the conventional SnO2/CdS/CdTe device structure used for more than 30 years. In this paper, we report that the device performance and reproducibility of CdTe cells [...]

Photodecay method in investigation of materials and photovoltaic structures
Photodecay method in investigation of materials and photovoltaic structures ~ Both solar cell materials (c-Si wafers, polycrystalline and amorphous thin films) as well as solar cells itself are investigated by photoconductivity methods in view of their re- combination parameters characterisation. One of the most important of these parameters is the bulk minority carriers lifetime t [...]

Microstructure and Passivation Effects on Open Circuit Voltage in Low Temperature Deposited Silicon Thin Films
Microstructure and Passivation Effects on Open Circuit Voltage in Low Temperature Deposited Silicon Thin Films ~ Hydrogen-passivated silicon films grown via hot wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD) are promising candidates for polycrystalline Si solar cell absorber layers. We report on correlation of film microstructure and passivation with open-circuit voltage, a key cell electrical characteristic, for [...]
