Evolving wireless access technologies for municipal broadband     

Marvin Sirbu  William Lehr  Sharon Gillett 《Government Information Quarterly》2006,23(3-4):480

In recent years, the landscape for wireless technology has changed substantially, with profound implications for the evolution of last-mile access infrastructure. This paper provides a high-level introduction to emerging trends in wireless technology, with a special focus on how these are impacting municipal broadband deployments. Also discussed are some of the key architectural and design choices for wireless networking systems and their implications for cost and system performance. In addition, examples are provided regarding how the new wireless technologies are being deployed by municipalities in a variety of contexts, with reference to wireless technologies currently available from vendors. The policy implications of these trends are discussed further in a companion paper in this issue.  相似文献

Preparing for re-entry; A program for the sojourning student     

Marvin J. Westwood  W. Scott Lawrence  David Paul 《International journal for the advancement of counseling》1986,9(3):221-230

A visitor to a new country is assaulted by many changes, both environmental and cultural. Expecting things to be different the visitor is shocked by what he/she finds, thus the term culture shock. A second shock, possibly more traumatic, awaits the international sojourner upon his or her arrival home. The experiences of the returnee typically do not match his or her expectations. Frequently, the individual returning home is not anticipating adjustment difficulties. Compounding the problem is the fact that re-entry has not been widely recognized or researched and thus, little has been done to help individuals to prepare for it.Focusing on international students, who by definition return home, this paper refers to a wide range of social, cultural, political, educational and professional difficulties. The many variables which determine the extent of re-entry shock are identified and discussed. A group program is suggested as one strategy for assisting those about to return home. The results of a pilot study of such a program illustrate how it can be a powerful force to minimize the disorientation and shock of re-entry.This paper serves as a challenge to all those who are responsible or work with international students. Re-entry preparation is also a prerequisite if individuals, institutions, corporations, home countries and host countries are to maximize the benefits and minimize the problems of studying or working abroad.  相似文献

Comparing Union and Nonunion Staff Perceptions of the Higher Education Work Environment     

Putten  Jim Vander  McLendon  Michael K.  Peterson  Marvin W. 《Research in higher education》1997,38(1):131-149

Evidence of substantial growth in unionization among university noninstructional staff over the past 20 years (Hurd and Woodhead, 1987) and the emergence of a quality movement in higher education linking employee attitudes toward the work environment with increased productivity point to the need for additional research into union and nonunion staff perceptions of the work environment. This paper describes a conceptually oriented, exploratory study of the university work environment as perceived and defined by union and nonunion noninstructional staff.  相似文献   

大学和学院组织模型:历史演化的视角   总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3  

马文·彼得森 《北京大学教育评论》2007,5(1):109-137

在过去五六十年里,高等教育研究者提出了多种高等教育组织模型,用它们来理解和解释美国大学和学院的组织行为。本文通过建立一个概念框架,试图解释它们的建立和发展过程。在概念框架中,“变化着的环境条件”是第一驱动力,它形成了“学校管理挑战”,影响和改变了“我们對对主要行业的概念”,从而通过它们间接地影响着大学和学院的运行机制。研究者提出的各种大学和学院组织模型就是从不同的侧面反映环境对组织的影响。  相似文献   

The Zenith‐WJAZ case and the chaos of 1926–27     

Marvin R. Bensman 《广播与电子媒介杂志》2013,57(4):423-440

The straw that broke the camel's back of the Radio Act of 1912 with respect to broadcasting was the Zenith‐WJAZ case and the “chaos” that followed the overturning of the regulatory agency's authority by the court. This chaos, in the form of interference from stations frantically searching for a clear frequency, led to the greatly strengthened Radio Act of 1927 and to the present Communications Act of 1934. Marvin R. Bensman is assistant professor in the Department of Speech and Drama of Memphis State University, and earned his Ph.D. in 1969 from the University of Wisconsin.  相似文献
