Low-Dielectric Constant Materials III:
C. Case, T. Kikkawa, P. Kohl, W. W. Lee
Materials Research Society, Jan 26, 1998 - Technology & Engineering - 300 pages
Continuing improvement of integrated circuits (ICs) critically depends on the use of nonconventional materials. Interconnect delay is already the most severe limiting factor in most advanced IC. This delay can be minimized by reducing the interconnect capacitance, which is determined by a combination of process architecture and materials. While a broad range of candidate materials is being explored for IC application, there is no clear consensus on what material will be used to replace SiO2. Process architectures are also unsettled, with various efforts directed to either evolving present-day technology or switching to a damascene metal approach. Yet these processes may not be scaleable beyond the 0.15 µm generation of IC technology. This book brings together experts in the field of low-k dielectrics to focus on the challenges ahead. Topics include: organic and inorganic dielectrics; interfaces and porous materials; measurement and characterization; vapor-deposited materials; fluorinated oxides and polyimides.

This white paper addresses the RF interference challenges that result from high usage of a shared spectrum. With the introduction of the IEEE's latest wireless standard, 802.11ac, with its 80-MHz-wide channel bandwidth, these challenges become more acute. It explores the limitations of standard Wi-Fi chip design and how this affects the ability of an IT organization to gather critical, actionable data about the wireless spectrum for effective troubleshooting. Finally, it introduces Cisco CleanAir® technology which is part of our High Density Experience (HDX) and explains how, by integrating RF intelligence into the network, users gain tremendous insight into actual usage of the wireless spectrum. This insight is critical to proactively managing Wi-Fi networks so that they can support the mission-critical and latency-sensitive applications needed in today's hospitals, distributed enterprises, manufacturing sites, retail stores, and offices.
Wi-Fi Becomes Mission Critical
The first enterprise Wi-Fi networks were an added convenience used for web surfing in enterprise lobbies or conference rooms. For these applications, a best-effort level of performance was acceptable.
Now Wi-Fi has matured to the point that it is being deployed for many mission-critical applications. Hospitals use Wi-Fi for mobile access to patient files and to remotely monitor secondary bedside systems. In retail and manufacturing, Wi-Fi is used for logistics and business transactions. Small branch offices are beginning to use Wi‑Fi as the exclusive network access method, forgoing wired connections. And increasingly, Wi-Fi is being used for voice and video, which is sensitive to the impact of interference.
In all these examples, Wi-Fi networks are expected to run with very high reliability. It's no longer acceptable for Wi‑Fi networks to have unexpected downtime due to interference.
Defining the Solution
Spectrum intelligence (SI) is data about RF spectrum activity derived from advanced interference identification algorithms similar to those used in the military. SI provides visibility into all the users of the shared spectrum - both Wi-Fi devices and non-Wi-Fi interferers. For every device operating in the unlicensed band, SI reveals: What is it? Where is it? How is it impacting the Wi-Fi network?
Spectrum management is the active use of spectrum intelligence data to improve performance and lower the operational costs of Wi-Fi networks. Information about the severity and duration of interference can be used to calculate its impact on the network and to troubleshoot problems. This information can also be stored for back‑in‑time analysis and trending. Combined with contextual data such as physical location and systemwide correlation, spectrum management is a powerful, proactive tool that increases WLAN reliability, performance, andsecurity.
While external or standalone SI tools have existed for some time, Cisco has taken the bold step of integrating SI directly into the chipset of new access points. Cisco CleanAir is a revolutionary technology and industry first that provides IT managers with access to rich spectrum information that is automatically gathered on every non-802.11 interference source.
The spectrum intelligence provided by CleanAir technology enables a new level of spectrum management. Incontrast to previous spectrum management tools that could understand and adapt only to other Wi-Fi devices and were usually separate from the wireless network, the new integrated spectrum management is part of the fabric of the wireless network. Second-generation spectrum management is fully aware of all the users of the wireless spectrum, and is able to take action to optimize network performance by mitigating or avoiding interference.
Performance and Reliability
Beyond understanding interference issues, IT wants the network to address interference issues automatically when possible - both to save on operating expenses (OpEx) and to minimize network downtime. This type of automated tuning is the domain of radio resource management (RRM), which is a layer of software in the infrastructure that automatically adjusts network parameters to maintain RF performance. Older generations of RRM were largely blind to interference issues, other than some crude awareness of "noise." With integrated SI, a new generation of RRM is able to use detailed knowledge of interference sources to make truly intelligent decisions and achieve new levels of reliability.
In addition to automated RRM, integrated spectrum intelligence can be used systemwide for a broader set of spectrum management tasks. These may be new to Wi-Fi but are familiar to wired network managers:
● Troubleshooting performance problems in real time
● Performing forensic analysis on intermittent or past problems
● Reporting on usage and interference trends
● Correlating interference problems across multiple access points both to hone in on impact and to reduce excessive alarms
Wireless Security
Ultimately, the challenge of Wi-Fi is not just performance; it's also security. There has been a good level of industry focus on how rogue access points can open up security holes in an enterprise network. Wireless intrusion detection systems and intrusion prevention systems (wIDS/wIPS) have been designed to address this issue. Butcurrent IDS and IPS solutions have significant blind spots that cannot be addressed without the addition of spectrum intelligence.
Current IDS/IPS systems cannot detect access points running with proprietary extensions such as Super G (fromAtheros). These readily available devices go undetected. Additionally, it's possible for a hacker to take standard Wi-Fi equipment (for example, running Linux) and modify it to operate on nonstandard channels or with other nonstandard modulation schemes. These extended or modified devices can be detected only if you analyze the RF physical layer.
Beyond Wi-Fi devices, many other types of non-Wi-Fi equipment - including Bluetooth access points, access points running older standards such as 802.11FH, and proprietary wireless bridges - can also be used to open up holes in the network. In the case of bridges, these devices can send data to an attacker who is miles from your building. Again, these types of devices can be detected only if you analyze all the devices that are present in your spectrum.
In addition to the threat of rogue devices, there is always the threat that someone malicious will try to disable your Wi-Fi network with an RF denial-of-service (DoS) attack. Although IDS/IPS systems monitor for many "protocol layer" DoS attacks, they do not detect RF layer DoS attacks that can be implemented through jammer devices or Wi-Fi devices that have been set in a diagnostic jamming mode.
In addition to purposeful attacks, some simple devices like wireless video cameras or analog cordless phones can accidentally cause a total jamming of your network. Integrated spectrum intelligence and spectrum management is very effective for identifying these types of RF-level DoS security threats.
How Is Integrated Spectrum Management Implemented?
Limitations in Standard Wi-Fi Hardware
At a fundamental level, a standard Wi-Fi chipset has limited ability to implement SI. The reason is that Wi-Fi chipsets are specifically designed to receive Wi-Fi signals only - they do not recognize other types of signals (withthe exception of Dynamic Frequency Selection [DFS] radar). Standard chipsets are not even designed to pass up enough information for SI to occur at higher levels of software.
To be specific, when a standard Wi-Fi chipset sees a transmission burst that cannot be understood, it is typically able to report only a few things: 1) that an incomprehensible burst has occurred; 2) the power level of the burst; and 3) the start and stop time of the burst. Note that the burst may actually have been from a Wi-Fi device on another channel or on the same channel, but too far away to be properly received. Or the burst may have been from a non-Wi-Fi device. Detailed information about the modulation type of the burst, where it occurred within the channel, and so on, is typically not available. And there is no ability for software to access the actual data received from the burst for further analysis.
Despite these limitations, it is possible using a Wi-Fi chip to add up the unidentified bursts, and to calculate a total amount of interference, as well as the average strength of interference. Unfortunately, this approach doesn't provide the necessary information to actually solve a problem. For example, the "total interference" approach can't tell you the specific type of the interference (for example, is it just co-channel Wi-Fi interference or something else?), whether the interference is coming from one source or many, where the interference is located, and so on. As this list suggests, the level of SI that can be gathered with a standard Wi-Fi chipset is quite limited.
Cisco CleanAir Technology: A Custom Hardware/Software Solution
To overcome the visibility limitations inherent to standard Wi-Fi chipsets, Cisco has created an integrated solution with patented chips and software that has been specifically designed to analyze and classify all RF activity. (Morethan 25 patents have been issued for this technology to date). Essentially, Cisco has taken the technology behind the Cisco® Spectrum Expert analysis tool, and integrated it directly into the infrastructure, including deep integration within the Wi-Fi chipset. This is a significant development, and demonstrates that as wireless has transitioned from nice-to-have to business-critical in the enterprise. Consumer-grade Wi-Fi silicon is no longer good enough.
The custom solution starts with the Cisco Spectrum Analysis Engine (SAgE) hardware core, which has been integrated directly into the Wi-Fi chipset of the 1600/2600/3600/3700 Series of 802.11n/802.11ac capable Cisco Aironet® Access Points. The SAgE core handles very compute-intensive operations, such as high-resolution Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and pulse detection operations. (A pulse is a burst of RF energy in frequency and time.) The SAgE core has a highly granular spectral resolution of 78.125 kHz (4x better than the nearest competitive solution and 64x better than most chipsets) which helps enable a broad interference detection and analysis. Essentially, the SAgE core handles a base level of spectrum analysis operations that are so processing-intensive they can be prohibitive to handle in real-time software.
Figure 1 graphically illustrates SAgE identifying pulses of energy. The first image shows the data from the hardware pulse detector block, and the second image shows the data after software has combined pulses that match closely enough to be considered a single pulse.
Once SAgE processing has completed, the radio samples of interesting pulses are passed to the software level for detailed fingerprint analysis. Performing this processing on the main radio CPU would negatively affect Wi-Fi performance. To eliminate this impact, the Cisco hardware solution includes a custom processing core called the Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Vector Accelerator (DAvE), which is integrated directly into the access point's Wi-Fi chipset. The DAvE core is able to perform intensive signal processing operations, referred to as "Davelets" - such as filtering, decimation, rotation, sync-word detection, and modulation detection - without burdening the main CPU. The DAvE handles CPU-intensive signal processing operations that would otherwise be a burden to the main CPU.
The final processing level occurs in a software module that runs on the main CPU and is referred to as "Sensord." Note that because the heavy lifting has been accomplished by the SAgE and DAvE hardware blocks, the overhead on the CPU is now very low. The Sensord software looks at the timing and frequency of interference bursts, and the discovered attributes of the bursts such as the modulation type and identified sync words. This high-level information is then used to perform the final identification and separation of one device from another. This final classification step provides the powerful features of SI: telling you the specific source of the interference, where it is located, and how it can be mitigated.
Performance Aspects of SI Implementations
Number of Classifiers
Cisco CleanAir technology includes a robust suite of 20 non-Wi-Fi classifiers. Because the analysis takes place in software, the list of classifiers may be expanded as new interference sources become relevant in the market. Inother words, the solution is capable of detecting any kind of interference that might be introduced in the future, and requires only a software update.
Simultaneous Detection
Cisco CleanAir technology classification is able to distinguish several different interferers - either of the same type or different types - that are operating at the same time. In fact, CleanAir technology is capable of tracking and classifying hundreds of devices and reporting the top 10 simultaneous interference devices per radio. This is important, because in the real world the amount of simultaneous RF activity can be quite high. Any competing solutions that are not sophisticated enough to distinguish multiple simultaneous devices will quickly fall apart in the field and are only good enough for demos and lab tests.
Time to Detect
Interference devices can be transient, either because they are turned on and off quickly, or because the user is moving through the floor space. For this reason, classification must occur quickly, before it is missed. Cisco CleanAir technology enables access points to classify devices within 30 seconds, and is often able to perform classification in less than 5 seconds. (Note that reporting may be slightly delayed when consolidating data across multiple access points).
Probability of False Detection
It is important to not miss a source of interference, and it's equally important to not report "phantom" interference when none exists or to mislabel interference, causing IT to look for the wrong type of device. Cisco CleanAir technology is designed to produce low false-detection rates, even in very busy RF environments where hundreds of Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi devices are operating simultaneously. By reducing false detection, CleanAir technology saves IT time.
CleanAir Technology: The Importance of Integrated Spectrum Intelligence and Spectrum Management
While the Spectrum Expert and Metageek Channelizer Pro products and tool-based solutions play an important role prior to deployment of a network, integrating the SI technology into the Wi-Fi infrastructure provides much more compelling advantages. In the Cisco CleanAir integrated solution, the SI engine is built directly into the access points, and SI information is then fully integrated into the network architecture and management systems to enable intelligent spectrum management.
An advantage of CleanAir technology is that it operates 24/7, constantly monitoring for interference and air quality issues (see Figure 2). This allows IT to take a more proactive approach to spectrum management. Instead of waiting for interference to be reported by an end user (in the form of a trouble ticket) and then dispatching a tool to analyze the problem, IT can find interference as soon as it occurs and take immediate action. Having a 24/7 history also makes it possible to look back in time. Using historical data, it's easy to perform analyses of trends over time.
Ability to Match Detected Devices across Access Points
In a WLAN with integrated spectrum management, it's quite likely that the same interference device will be detected across multiple access points. If each of these devices was reported separately, it would generate too many alerts to the administrator. With CleanAir technology, each device that is detected by an access point is assigned a pseudo-MAC (PMAC) address based on the device attributes. PMACs are then compared across access points. When the PMACs of two devices match (and the access points are in reasonable proximity to each other), the reports from the two access points are "clustered" together. Now the cluster can be reported as a single device to the administrator.
Clustering also plays a significant role in locating devices. A cluster of matching PMACs provides the system with multiple power measurements on the same device, which then makes it possible to triangulate on the location of the device. Important characteristics of device clustering are the ability of the network to cluster devices properly, without overclustering (merging devices together that shouldn't be merged), or underclustering (reporting multiple devices when only one exists).
A second advantage of CleanAir technology is that it can be operated remotely. For many Wi-Fi deployments, the IT staff at one location manages equipment at multiple buildings in a campus or multiple geographical locations, and it can be difficult to physically take a tool to these remotely managed sites. This is particularly true for deployments with many branch offices, or when the interference is transient in nature. By having spectrum management integrated into the infrastructure, IT is able to remotely view interference conditions anywhere on the network.
Cisco CleanAir technology can also physically locate interfering devices (Figure 3). In most cases, multiple access points will observe the same device causing interference. Cisco has developed sophisticated technology to compare the devices reported from multiple access points, and to determine which reports are actually caused by the same device. Once the devices have been correlated, CleanAir technology makes it possible to pinpoint the exact location of the device using triangulation, similar to the way that infrastructure systems are currently able to locate Wi-Fi clients and tags.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of the CleanAir technology integration into the WLAN is that SI data becomes available to the access point RRM system, where it can be used to implement 24/7 automated mitigation of interference. This is truly the next generation of RRM, allowing for much greater reliability than previous versions, which were simplistically identified interference as noise. With CleanAir technology, it's possible to tune the network to automatically work around many types of interference. Once known interference is identified then appropriate mitigation can be applied with intelligence and therefore with confidence.
Features of the Cisco Unified Wireless Network with CleanAir Technology
Air Quality and Performance Alerts
Detection and identification of interference sources have always been very important, and they increase in importance as wireless networks increase in density (more clients, more access points, and more traffic). As a critical component of our High Density Experience (HDX) solution suite, Cisco CleanAir technology provides a lot of detailed information about interference. But to facilitate an "at a glance" understanding of where interference problems are impacting the network, it rolls up the detailed information into a high-level, easy-to- understand metric referred to as Air Quality (AQ). AQ is reported at a channel, floor, and system level and it supports AQ alerts, so that you can be automatically notified when AQ falls below a desired threshold.
Air Quality is reported for both "classified" (that is, detected and identified) and '"unclassified" (that is, detected but unidentified) interference. Information about unclassified interference is included in the AQ report but is excluded from AQ Index calculations. For improved monitoring capabilities, when the severity ofthe unclassified category exceeds a user-defined threshold, an alarm is generated.
Map-Based Visualizations
In a CleanAir technology-enabled WLAN, devices that have been analyzed and detected are also integrated with the visual mapping displays provided by the Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS) and Mobility Services Engine (MSE) management systems. In addition to seeing access points and clients on a map, you can track where interference devices exist on the same map. In terms of performance, the ability to see interference devices on the map (as well as their zone of impact) lets you determine what access points, clients, and areas of your floor space are impacted.
From a security perspective, tracking devices on a map lets you know immediately where to dispatch your security personnel.
Security Alerts
In addition to displaying on a map any devices that affect security, you can customize alerts by location - for example, a specific floor of your building. This is a powerful feature since certain devices may be considered a threat in some areas of your building - for example, in the trading wing - but not in other areas, such as the building's lobby.
Mitigation Features
In addition to flexible deployment, Cisco CleanAir technology offers advanced automated response to interference. These automated responses include persistent device avoidance and event-driven RRM (EDRRM).
Persistent device avoidance recognizes that certain devices tend to be static in location and frequency - for example, microwave ovens and wireless video cameras. For this reason, even when these devices are not currently being detected on a specific channel at a specific location, it's known that they are likely to return at locations in which they have been detected previously. The system tracks these kinds of devices, and when channel selection is performed, tries to avoid channels at locations where persistent devices have been observed.
Furthermore, an access point enabled with Cisco CleanAir technology will share (or propagate) information regarding the presence of persistent devices it has detected to neighboring Clean Air enabled access points. In this way, the system helps those access points avoid the possibility of "channel bouncing" (that is, doing dynamic channel assignment into a channel affected by a persistent interferer).
Persistent device avoidance information can also be shared from Cisco CleanAir enabled access points to neighboring non-CleanAir enabled access points (assuming all access points are connected to the same controller).
Finally, access points in monitor mode (or with the Wireless Security Module installed) will also detect and register persistent devices on all the monitored channels. Information on detected devices is shared with neighboring local mode access points, preventing these access points from using channels affected by persistent device interference. In this case, PDA data storage is extended to keep information about devices on all the channels, and the monitor mode access point is enhanced to register persistent device data.
Event-driven RRM recognizes that some interference events are severe and catastrophic in nature. For example, a cordless phone with a continuous FM signal can cause an outage of several minutes (as long as the phone is active). For this reason, a dramatic drop in air quality causes the system to immediately evaluate changing the channel for the affected access point. Note that if a channel change occurs, it is done only for the impacted access point, while avoiding any cascading impact to the channel plan of neighboring access points.
Although in many cases the best response to interference is for the administrator to manually move, remove, replace, or shield the interfering device, automated mitigation is highly desirable to maintain short-term performance until other actions can be taken. And in certain cases, it may not be possible to ever remove the source of interference - for example, if it comes from outside the building.
Access Points as Analyzers
Finally, Cisco CleanAir technology continues to offer an expert view of low-level spectrum plots comparable to that offered by the Spectrum Expert analyzer tool. Any CleanAir access point can be configured as a network-connected sensor to see the spectrum plots directly as received by the radios on the access point.
While it is true that the system provides a great deal of higher-level analyzed data, including classified devices and air quality, there will always be cases where it is desirable to look at the raw spectrum data itself in real time. Even for enterprises that do not have an RF expert on staff, the Spectrum Expert Connect feature, shown in Figure 4, can be used by an expert who is brought in to help with a particularly difficult-to-diagnose problem.
Extensibility to New Technologies
The fundamental features and benefits provided by Cisco CleanAir technology are directly extensible to emerging Wi-Fi technologies. For example, when the 802.11ac module is installed and enabled in an Aironet 3600 Series access point, the CleanAir subsystem will monitor the entire 80-MHz channel (that is, the 5-GHz 802.11n radio native to the Aironet 3600 monitors the full channel bandwidth being used by the 802.11ac module instead of monitoring only its own 40-MHz-wide channel).
Furthermore, this same proven functionality is provided in the new Aironet 3700 Series access points. As with the Aironet 3600 plus 802.11ac module, the CleanAir subsystem within the Aironet 3700 will report interferers detected within the full 80-MHz channel in addition to creating AQ reports for each of the four 20-MHz channels that form the 80-MHz channel.
In summary, CleanAir continues to detect and report upon interference sources and AQ despite the increased channel bandwidth. Therefore, no degradation or suboptimal performance results from the migration to 802.11ac. CleanAir support for monitoring the entire 80-MHz channel provides superior 802.11ac network quality management, helps improved visualization of how the RF spectrum is being used, and enables EDRRM for the full 80-MHz channel.
Because Wi-Fi operates in a shared unlicensed band, integrated spectrum intelligence and spectrum management are a "must haves" to enable a high level of performance, security, and reliability in your Wi-Fi network. Spectrum management is critical for providing a rich and dependable mobility experience to end users with business-critical wireless applications.
Because the limited RF visibility capabilities of commercial Wi-Fi chipsets are not sufficient, Cisco has integrated patented spectrum processing hardware and software specially designed for analyzing interference, and created a true enterprise-class Wi-Fi chipset. With this underlying silicon capability, Cisco CleanAir technology classifies and locates individual sources of interference and tells you how it impacts the performance or security of your network.
While SI can be acquired in the form of tools like Spectrum Expert that are useful in the predeployment phase, the best option is to have SI technology integrated directly within the infrastructure. Cisco CleanAir technology provides powerful spectrum management features such as 24/7 proactive monitoring of interference, spectrum security and performance alerts, remote management, and interference device location. Most importantly, integrated SI enables a new level of automated spectrum management that is able to understand and intelligently mitigate the impacts of interference.

Yes, the Rays won. Yes, Kelly Shoppach (!) of all people gave the Rays a two-run lead by leading off the bottom of the third.
But the offense still stunk out loud. Half of the Rays eight hits came in the last two at-bats. Good thing the Rays were playing the Dead Fish, otherwise a win very easily could have been a loss.
Don't be fooled. This offense is grossly offensive. Take Matt Joyce and the Magic of Kotch out of this lineup and there are Double-A teams with as much punch.
Joe has stated this before and it bears repeating: Joe thinks more of Gary Shelton as a hitting instructor than Derek Shelton.
Wade Davis looked pretty sharp though. He needed to face a team like the Dead Fish to try to right himself. Of course, Goggles got the job done as he has all season.
But the way this offense stinks out loud, Goggles won't see August in a Rays uniform. If there is an Exhibit-A for a firesale, it is Goggles.

- Description
Dainese Axial Pro In
Dainese's Axial Pro In shows Dainese dedication to innovation, creativity and blend of experience with technology. This boot has the best of the best when it comes to comfort, safety, and functionality. It's as if Dainese took absolutely everything they have learned since their formation and put it in one design of riding boots. For many other manufacturers of riding boots the need for safety takes precedence over the need for comfort. With Dainese you never sacrifice comfort for safety nor do you sacrifice safety for comfort. The Dainese Axial Pro IN is the epitome of this philosophy as it is amazingly comfortable yet meets the company's mission in respect to safety.
Dainese takes protection in riding boots to a whole other level with its Axial Pro In boots. These boots were named after an invention out of Dainese's own R&D lab that was integrated into the Axial Pro In: "the carbon an DuPont fiber D-Axial sytem". This system reduces the risk is twisting your ankle in an accident. But that is not all. Replaceable stainless steel sliders and nylon toe inserts protect your feet when riding low to the ground in curves. Metal inserts on the heel and protective inserts on the tibia area complete the array of protection these boots offer. These combined forces make that these boots are homologated to the European EN 13634 Standard. Wearing comfort is further enhanced padded inserts for shifter guard. A velcro adjustment system and Dainese's own speed lacing system ensure a perfect fit for everyone, while these boots can be fastened to your Dainese riding suit with the integrated suit-boot fastening system.
Special Features
- Material: Lorica D-Stone fabric with crust leather on the outside
- Protection: D-Axial system on the inside made from Carbon and DuPont Levlar fiber. This system reduces the riders' risk of a twisted ankle and at the same time increases the ankle and foot protection in case of an accident.
- Additional Protection: The heels of the Dainese Axial Pro IN contain both shock absorbers and steel inserts.
- Safety: Additional safety components include stainless steel sliders and nylon outsoles and toes. The inside strap for tightening the boot is designed to avoid fracture in an accident and the boot sliding off for any reason.
- Multi-functional: Allows for attaching the boot to the inside of the pants even if you are wearing jeans.
- Comfort: Specifically for the comfort of the rider the Dainese Axial Pro IN features inserts made of split leather in the inside, elasticated bellows, back side closing zipper, and the double jersey air gap liner. All of these features have been perfected in other Dainese products and are brought together here. This boot also includes padded inserts on the guard for the gear shifter; the classic Dainese non-slip differentiated designs on the sole and includes the setscrew wrench.
The Dainese Axial Pro IN is amongst the best products Dainese has to offer and that quality is reflected in the price at $500 a pair. Riders who have made the purchase agree that these riding boots are more than worth the price. . It may take some time to get used to wearing them, but once you have done so, you will never want to experience the bulkiness and inflexibility of other riding boots anymore.

College-Wide Assessment Committee
The mission of the College-Wide Assessment Committee (CWAC) is to promote a comprehensive and systematic approach to the assessment of student learning that uses data and information about student success to improve instruction and learning experiences as well as achievement of learning outcomes. Because of the Committee's major purposes, in January 2012, the Provost charged the CWAC to design a comprehensive framework to facilitate the use of feedback information from assessment to improve instruction. During Spring Semester of 2012, this Framework was created and whole heartedly approved by the CWAC members as well as the Provost.
The Assessment Framework is unique in that the various independent levels of assessment are brought together as vital interconnections. Within the Framework, assessment information is meant to travel from the lower to the higher organizational levels and in the reverse from the higher to lower organizational levels - all influencing each other.
The CWAC believes, as does the Lane Community College's Assessment Team, that, "A well-developed and coherent assessment plan includes continuous and well-intergrated linkages among assessment, program planning, and implementation activites, including procedures for a logical analysis of the results as they relate to intended and unitended ... outcomes."

Bond denied for mother accused of murder in death of 3-year-old daughter
Maryanne Schwartz says her child was killed in hit-and-run crash
ORLANDO, Fla. – An Orange County judge on Friday denied bond for an Orlando mother accused of killing her 3-year-old daughter.
Maryanne Schwartz, 22, was charged with murder and child abuse on Wednesday after Orange County medical examiners determined her daughter, Yeliani Schwartz-Ojeda, was a victim of homicide.
Schwartz had claimed her daughter was killed by a hit-and-run driver a week ago at their apartment complex near the Mall at Millenia.
Schwartz missed her first court appearance on Thursday after being placed under medical observation.
She did not appear in court on Friday either, but her public defender was there to represent her.
Bob Larr refused to say anything about the case as he left the Orange County Jail on Friday, but the judge had the final word on whether Schwartz would be allowed to see her son, whom the Department of Children and Families said showed signs of abuse.
"There are additional terms the court would order as to the child abuse charge that she has," the judge told Larr. "No unsupervised contact with minors."
That clears the way for Schwartz to see her son if someone else is with him.

Moeran, Brian (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This working paper takes as its starting point the work of the German economic sociologist, Jens Beckert, and his call for empirical investigations into how intentionally rational actors reach decisions under conditions when they do not know what is best to do. It describes how trade fairs act as a framing mechanism that enables participants to come together for the exchange of goods and services and to perceive themselves as acting in a social field. Fairs frame the contacts people make and sustain as networks; the institutional rules and social norms guiding their behaviour there; and the values and cognitive frames that they bring to bear and negotiate with other participants. They make actors aware of a 'mutual correspondence' in their interpretation of the goods in which they deal and of the social situations in which engage for the sake of such trade. Trade fairs both configure fields and make markets possible. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8293

A Performative ApproachAlbu, Oana Brindusa (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This dissertation provides a critical analysis of transparency in the context of organizing. The empirical material is based on qualitative studies of international cooperative organizations. The dissertation seeks to contribute to transparency and organizing scholarship by adopting a communication centred approach to explore the implications of pursuing ideals of transparency in organizational relationships. The dissertation is comprised of four papers each contributing to extant debates in organizational studies and transparency literature. The findings indicate that transparency, in contrast to being a solution for efficiency and democratic organizing, is a communicatively contested process which may lead to unintended consequences. The dissertation shows that transparency is performative: it can impact authority by de/legitimating action, shape the processes of organizational identity co-construction, and its intersection with new media technologies can create tensions. Thus, the dissertation questions instrumental tendencies which regard transparency as full disclosure, the opposite of secrecy, and a way to achieve a consistent organizational identity. The dissertation provides a framework of organizational transparency which underlines its negotiated, power-infused and paradoxical nature. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8916

An Ethnographic Study of Trust, Distance, Control, Culture and Boundary Spanning within Offshore Outsourcing of IT ServicesTøth, Thomas (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This PhD dissertation is an ethnographic field study of the collaboration between Berlingske Media, one of the leading media companies in Denmark, and their Indian IT service provider, HCL – one of the largest IT service providers worldwide. The dissertation studies the day-to-day operational collaboration between actors from the client organization and the vendor organization in order to understand how vendor-side actors, as individuals and as a collective, can be constructed as trustworthy collaborators in the eyes of the client-side actors. While trust is the theoretical epicenter of this thesis it is, in acknowledgement of the contextual and dynamic nature of trust, subjected to an interdisciplinary analytical framework. Thus, the four analytical chapters in Part II introduce four different factors that influence the client-side actors' perceptions of vendor-side actors' trustworthiness: distance, control, culture and boundary spanning. The analytical conclusions are summarized in Part III of the dissertation. Based on these analytical conclusions a number of practice-oriented suggestions on how the client-side actors' perceptions of the vendor-side's trustworthiness can be improved are presented and discussed. Furthermore, the theoretical implications are presented and discussed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9115

Abstract: This working paper is a case study about the development of a faience product line in Royal Copenhagen and illustrates several aspects of how, at what stages of development, and by whom, cultural products in general are evaluated. Three theoretical issues emerge. One concerns the constraints imposed upon design and production by the use of materials and, to a lesser extent, technology. Another argues that product development has to take place within a particular brand and genre – in this case, those of Royal Copenhagen. A third reveals the way in which the design and manufacture of a particular cultural product had to be negotiated within a particular organizational world embracing both management and workers, with differentiated skills. These issues lead to a more general discussion of craftsmanship and storytelling. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8338

The Role of End-users and Policy Makers in Sustainable InnovationNielsen, Kristian Roed; Reisch, Lucia; Thøgersen, John (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: What is good sustainable innovation policy? And what is good governance for user-led innovation for more sustainable products and services in specific? The basic aim of innovation policy is to promote invention and innovation that transforms knowledge and competence into long-term social welfare. Innovation policy for sustainable development asks what can be done by government to support products, processes and social innovations that spur and enable more sustainable lifestyles in specific. From a policy maker's perspective, there are two basic approaches to innovation policy: Either, governments engage into "horizontal industrial policy", i.e. they design a supportive legal and economic framework, insure dynamic markets and promote a technology friendly "climate" in society. Or, governments engage in "vertical industrial policy" and opt for more active - and more intruding - efforts to develop an industry or a technology with economic incentives and industry-specific market regulation. This latter option has been criticized by market proponents since "picking the winners" by the state instead of the market is often not very efficient ("market knows best"). On the other hand, it has its merits in speeding up necessary changes in markets. Both approaches are, however, focused on entrepreneurs and industries, hence on the supply side of the market. In times of digitalization, prosumerism and blurring boundaries between supply and demand, another focus is slowly gaining importance, namely user-led innovation for sustainable products and processes. The present report hence focuses on the question how innovation policy can spur this kind of innovation with userentrepreneurs on the demand side of markets in the driver seat. The report identifies the key impact mechanisms as reported and analysed in the relevant literature. While admittedly this type of research is still scarce and in its infancy, we know from traditional innovation policy literature that good innovation governance • is consistent and reliable; • supports interaction between and offers platforms for all relevant actors: market actors (both: supply and demand), political actors, societal actors and science, also between venture capitalists and innovators/entrepreneurs; • designs a supportive innovation infrastructure (education, physical infrastructure, etc.); • supports a social "climate" that is open for innovation and has a culture for innovation and failure (willingness to change, open for new opportunity, trust in whom, culture of risk); • finds the right balance of regulation and free market; and • designs effective incentives and support programmes. This is also the starting point for the present report that focuses on the specific requirements of user-led sustainability innovation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9163

Colleoni, Elanor (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The development of an information economy, and in particular its more recent "social economy" phase, has seen the "pluralisation" of conceptions of value (Stark, 2009). The rise of brands, the growing importance of reputation, both for individuals and for companies, the need to attract affective investments and in general to establish a positive large-scale recognition for companies are all manifestation of this. While companies have clearly identified the strategic importance of these intangible assets, an adequate and broadly accepted interpretation of how such immaterial wealth is transformed into tangible monetary value still lack.

An institutional investigation of international financial transactionsPiroska, Dóra (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper focuses on the foreign debt management of the Hungarian and Slovenian policy makers in the global financial markets. The proposed argument combines a theoretical refinement of international financial markets as locally embedded social relations with a domestically oriented institutional analysis of foreign debt management. I argue that in order to understand the differences between the two states' debt management strategies, it is important to look at the institutional differences within which the strategies were proposed, rejected or accepted. At this level of analysis the paper also considers the links between globalization of finance and the changing role of the state. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6947

Exploring Fashion Industry Business Models and the Circular EconomyHvass, Kerli Kant (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This dissertation examines post-consumer textile waste from the fashion industry's perspective, and addresses how business model innovation can facilitate reuse and recycling of garments and a transition towards a circular economy of fashion. Focusing on the emerging reuse and recycling practices of fashion brands the study builds upon one explorative and two in-depth case studies of industry pioneers and their endeavors of integrating reuse and recycling activities in their business models. Theoretically the study rests on business models, business model innovation for sustainability and circular economy. The study seeks to provide a unique contribution as it synthesizes the theoretical and empirical insights from the field of business model innovation and circular economy in the context of post-consumer textile waste. By highlighting and extending the idea of business model innovation for circular economy it makes a justification that product end-of-life phases require attention and can include new value propositions that companies can create, deliver and capture. This dissertation contains three articles, each of which contributes to an improved understanding of post-consumer textile waste management in the context of the fashion industry and its related opportunities and challenges. The findings cover both broad industry-level and more specific company-level discoveries. The industry-level findings provide a general understanding of existing practices among fashion companies while the company specific findings identify key issues and challenges of integrating a product's end-of-life aspects in an existing business model. Collectively, the findings demonstrate that end-of-life management of products is an emerging field among fashion companies and used garments can provide new value propositions for fashion brands. The findings also illustrate that the field is in its infancy and lacks best practices within business models, supply chain infrastructure, technological solutions and consumer engagement. Transition towards a circular economy implies full systemic change, and innovation not only in business models, but also in technologies, society, policies and finance methods as well as consumer behavior. None of these aspects can work in isolation and require that different stakeholders work in tandem. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9282

Studying Influenceon Ethics in the MBA CurriculumRasche, Andreas; Gilbert, Dirk Ulrich (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper discusses the impact of four key issues in MBA programs: (1) the geographic location of business schools, (2) a school's ranking in the Financial Times list, (3) the length of the MBA program, and (4) a school's participation in the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). Our discussion is based on detailed coursework data underlying the 2009 Beyond Grey Pinstripes survey of full-time, in-person MBA programs. We find that the four discussed issues influence whether ethics education is delivered through core or elective courses. Further, we find that the four issues also impact whether schools teach ethics through standalone courses or integrate relevant content into other disciplines. However, our results also indicate that the four issues do not significantly influence in which disciplines ethics-related content is infused. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8839

Strandgaard Pedersen, Jesper; Mazza, Carmelo (, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Film festivals are claimed to be leading events establishing the reputation of directors and producers in the film industry and they constitute a well-established field in itself. Film festivals have become a widespread phenomenon over the last fifty years with specialization as an emerging feature, profiling festivals on the basis of the participating genre and quality of movies, directors and actors. Such a structured field constitutes an interesting domain to analyze challenges and advantages of late adopters in an institutionalized field. This paper is concerned with the strategic responses and efforts made by two late adopters film festivals – Copenhagen international film festival (CIFF), launched in 2003, and Festa del Cinema di Roma (FCR) launched in 2006 – in order to establish themselves as international film festivals within the international film festival field. The comparative study of two film festivals is based on qualitative data and thrives on business ethnographical methods. The paper investigates how the two festivals have positioned themselves and how they face the inclusion-exclusion dilemma (Brewer, 1991; Alvarez et al., 2005) establishing themselves within the institutionalised field of international film festivals. Combining the classical work by Tolbert and Zucker (1983) on early and late adopters in the diffusion of management ideas and practices with Suchman's (1995) forms of legitimacy and Lawrence and Suddaby's (2006) notion of institutional work, we analyze how imitation and innovation pressures have shaped the frames used to position and legitimate the film festivals and their relation with the industry.

An Integrative ReviewChristensen, Bo T.; Jønsson, Thomas (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: It seems to be an established fact in the organizational psychological literature that participation in decision making leads to creativity and innovation in work groups and organizations. A quite extensive amount of research has claimed that the link exists, although only a somewhat smaller amount of research has established that there is a link between the two constructs of participation in decision making and creativity. But although this link has been clearly documented theories with clearly stated causal explanations of why participation in decision making (pdm) would lead to creativity and innovation are extremely rare. The literature has pointed to a large number of mediating variables and possible effects of pdm that could possibly explain the link to creativity, but explicit causal theories and experimental evidence of the validity of such theories remain relatively few. Suggested mediating factors include such different models as enhanced intrinsic motivation (Amabile, 2001; Conti & Amabile, 1999), reduction in resistance to change (De Dreu & West, 2001), pooling of unshared knowledge (Latham, Winters, & Locke, 1994) and better utilization of individual differences in cognitive style (Kirton, 1989), and improved work environment for creativity (e.g., Isaksen, Lauer, Ekvall, & Britz, 2001).

The case of municipal parking officesDahl, Dorte Boesby (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper is about the work and management of parking patrol officers in a Danish municipal department responsible for parking law enforcement. The job as a parking officer is un-skilled and fairly light in terms of physical demands, but quite demanding in terms of contact and coping with disgruntled car-drivers. In recent years the municipality has developed a strict policy in regard to parking, increasing both the enforcement of parking rules and the prices for parking. Alongside this development, the municipal department has become renowned for management's active and ambitious work to improve the working environment for parking officers, and to employ diversity management. Regarding parking officers as street-level bureaucrats (Lipsky 2010), the paper addresses the characteristics of their work and the challenges posed to the individual employee and manager. Becoming a parking officer is not only a matter of being able to cope with people on the street, but also being able to cope with colleagues and managements' particular expectations to your personality. Since the department of parking is part of a public organisation these expectations become all the more complicated (Hoggett 1996). They rely not only on the revenue from parking tickets and organizational credibility, but also on the availability of unskilled work for job-seekers and integration and retention efforts in staff-management.

Four Block
We are creating a professional networking website that will provide returning veterans with career training, networking, and employment opportunities. We are currently proving our model in NYC and now want to take it online! A short article about our company is below:
Our target audience is returning veterans. This demographic is typically male between 22 and 30 years old. Most of these veterans joined the military directly out of high school.
We also need to appeal to corporations and universities. These entities will be paying for access to our veteran talent pool and advertising on our website as well.
We have two goals for our landing website:
1. Provide the platform to launch our "Student-Veteran Internship Program."
2. Get veterans, corporations, and universities to sign-up for our beta professional network.
We want the website to be very clean, crisp, and professional. We prefer a white/light gray background but we are open to your ideas as well.
Please use the logos attached below. The font used in the logo is: Neuzeit S LT Std. Please stick to the blue (in the logo), black, gray, and white color scheme. We are trying to stay away from military "drab" colors.
No clip art or generic pictures.
Page 1 - Homepage
Use the main logo
Four Block is: "A powerful change in the way veterans transition into new careers."
Three buttons:
1. "Learn about Four Block"
2. "Student-Veteran Internship Initiative"
3. "Join the Team"
"Follow the movement" buttons to connect to FB, Tw, LinkIN. (Please use the colorful logos for these websites.)
We would like to have an outline of the US with the "buttons" evenly spread throughout and connected by "networking" or connecting lines. See the example documents uploaded for logos, buttons, and a few examples of what we'd like to see.
Add a button that says "Join a nation-wide movement. Sign-up to participate in our beta launch."
Page 2 - Student-Veteran Internship Program
We want to highlight our corporate sponsors (use UBS and Microsoft logos below) and the internships they have available to vets. We'd like to have the title of the internship job under a corresponding "empty" profile picture (similar to facebook). When a veteran gets that internship, we will put his/her picture in its place. Add buttons for "Join the Student Veteran Internship Initiative" and "Apply for an Internship" Also, add the language for this page from the ppt attached.
See attached ppt for additional info...
-We absolutely love the way this website is organized.

Scarlett Johansson: How She Captured 'the Essence' of Janet Leigh in 'Hitchcock'
52 years ago, the world was introduced to a new type of horror film: Psycho. Alfred Hitchcock's creation, based on Robert Bloch's 1959 novel, took film in a direction it had never gone before with it's brutal depiction of violence and risque sexual scenes. If you haven't seen Psycho, you have at least heard about the historic scene where Janet Leigh's character, Marion Crane, is stabbed to death in her shower. While in 1960 this scene caused much controversy, it remains not only one of Hitchcock's most infamous film moments, but also the scene that pretty much defined Janet Leigh's career. On Friday, North America will get to see Scarlett Johansson transform into Leigh in Hitchcock — the movie about the filmmaker's life during the creation of Psycho — when it drops in theaters. But how, you might wonder, is Johansson able to fill the shoes of such a remarkable actress?
"I came on with my own experience living with [Janet's image] and having an idea how I wanted to portray her," Johansson told reporters at the New York City premiere of Hitchcock on Sunday. "[I tried to] to capture the essence of her." And she did just that. When it came to the shower scene, Johansson was able to perfectly recreate the exact emotion that Leigh demonstrated in Psycho.
But for clothed scenes, physical appearance and makeup also helped Johansson to morph into Leigh. "I was very fortunate to have Julie Hewett and Julie Weiss, our costume designer and our makeup artist, and our whole team [bring] their own experience with Hitchcock to the set," she said. "So it [was] a collaborative effort."
Johansson even loved her early 1960s wardrobe. "It's a nice period," she said. "Of course it's a lot of foundation garment. And the shape, the silhouette, is always flattering."
And when it comes to Hitchcock, Johansson admitted that she's definitely a fan, especially of his movie Strangers on a Train. "I always liked that film," she said. "I think as a child, I responded to the carousel scene. I like that it makes you feel slightly disoriented." She added, "It takes you on a roller coaster of suspense that Hitchcock was so talented with. It's a classic."
Living up to Janet Leigh's talent portrayed in Psycho must not have been an easy task, but Johansson blows away expectations with her performance in Hitchcock. Hitchcock drops in theaters this Friday, Nov. 23.

I already have an entry regarding automatic translation of food recipes and some entries with idea-like thoughts regarding alternative energy there. If someone reads them and decides to approach them, I would like to get some feedback to see if my idea was crap or not.

How many WP plugins are used on average?
After a quick chat with miwi, I ask myself how many people actually are interested in plugins for WP and how much plugins people have on average?
Miwi has currently 4 plugins installed. I have 30 plugins installed as of this writing:
- Akismet: comes with WP, anti-SPAM
- AskApache RewriteRules Viewer: gives some info about the apache rewrite rules used in WP
- Better Search: improves the search features of WP
- Bot Tracker: shows which bots crawl your site (no robot crawled mine yet, I assume I have not activated it long enough and need to wait a little bit until I see some results)
- Broken Link Checker: checks my blog for broken links
- Contextual Related Posts: adds "Related Posts:" to new postings, not always up to the task (as can be seen in this posting), but I hope it will improve with time when I post more

- FD Word Statistics: gives some infos about the "complexity" of your posts in the posting editor

- Weasels No HTTP Author: anti-SPAM, do not allow http:// in the name of authors (comments, …)
- WordPress.com Stats: do I really need to explain this?
- WP-Stats-Dashboard: simplifies the handling of the "WordPress.com Stats"-features
- wp-Typography: automatic typographic improvements to postings, I do not know if it is useful for non-English texts, but at least my postings in English look better
- WP Math Publisher: allows to place some more mathematical rendering of math-equations in postings, e.g. the golden ratio:
- WP Security Scan: scans your blog setup for known security holes
- WP Update Message: allows to put a "posting updated: XXX changed"-box into your postings
- Delete Spam Daily: not activated yet, as I did not get any SPAM yet, I can not make a controlled test, so I wait
- Hello Dolly: plugin comes with WP-core, not activated
- Login LockDown: not activated, I will delete it soon, as I like the "Limit Login Attempts"-plugin more
- One-Time Password: does not work out of the box for me, it looks like it does not find php-otp (it is not installed, and I need to have a look if it comes with php-otp included and iit s not found, or if I have to install it)
