title: Evaluation of a Collaborative Model Using A Case Study Analysis of Watershed Planning in the Intermountain West
Creators: name: Bentrup, Gary
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1999

description: Planning methods that involve collaboration are gaining popularity and currently being applied in a variety of resource management issues . Based on current planning theory, researchers have proposed a conceptual collaborative model for environmental planning and management . This thesis evaluates the usefulness of the model to describe the range of factors important for the establishment and operation of collaboration in environmental planning. This iterative model suggests that collaboration emerges from a series of antecedents and then proceeds sequentially through problem setting, direction setting, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation phases. The evaluation was based on three case studies of watershed-based planning efforts in the lntermountain West. Watershed planning efforts were selected because watersheds have been identified as a suitable framework for addressing many environmental issues . In addition, watersheds frequently cross many political boundaries and therefore planning efforts in a watershed context often require collaboration between the various entities. Based on the case study analysis, the model seems to realistically describe fundamental collaborative elements in environmental planning . Factors that proved to be particularly important include the involvement of stakeholders in data collection and analysis and the establishment of measurable objectives . Informal face to face dialogue and watershed field tours were critical for identifying issues and establishing trust among stakeholders. Group organizational structure also plays a key role in facilitating collaboration . From this analysis, suggestions for refining the model are proposed. In addition , key elements that planners should consider when embarking on a collaborative effort are highlighted .
Semileptonic and radiative decays of the B_c meson in light-front quark model

description: We investigate the exclusive semileptonic $B_c\to (D,η_c,B,B_s)\ellν_\ell$, $η_b\to B_c\ellν_\ell$($\ell=e,μ,τ$) decays using the light-front quark model constrained by the variational principle for the QCD motivated effective Hamiltonian. The form factors $f_+(q^2)$ and $f_-(q^2)$ are obtained from the analytic continuation method in the $q^+=0$ frame. While the form factor $f_+(q^2)$ is free from the zero-mode, the form factor $f_-(q^2)$ is not free from the zero-mode in the $q^+=0$ frame. We quantify the zero-mode contributions to $f_-(q^2)$ for various semileptonic $B_c$ decays. Using our effective method to relate the non-wave function vertex to the light-front valence wave function, we incorporate the zero-mode contribution as a convolution of zero-mode operator with the initial and final state wave functions. Our results are then compared to the available experimental data and the results from other theoretical approaches. Since the prediction on the magnetic dipole $B^*_c\to B_c+γ$ decay turns out to be very sensitive to the mass difference between $B^*_c$ and $B_c$ mesons, the decay width $Γ(B^*_c \to B_c γ)$ may help in determining the mass of $B^*_c$ experimentally. Furthermore, we compare the results from the harmonic oscillator potential and the linear potential and identify the decay processes that are sensitive to the choice of confining potential. From the future experimental data on these sensitive processes, one may obtain more realistic information on the potential between quark and antiquark in the heavy meson system.

Multicompetence and Second Language Teaching
Creators: name: Choong, K. Philip
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2006

description: The idea of multicompetence as the compound state of a mind with two grammars has many implications for syllabus designers and teachers as envisioned by Vivian Cook (2002). Cook sees L2 users as fundamentally different than monolingual L1 users, and suggests that language teachers should recognize and celebrate this distinction. Too often, he suggests, teachers and SLA researchers regard L2 users as deficient, not merely different, when compared to native speakers. Since L2 users can never become native speakers, comparing them to native speakers sets a standard that is unattainable, and even undesirable. Multicompetent people can do things that no monolingual person can, and knowledge of an L2 not only affects their knowledge of the L1, but also enhances other perceptions and abilities as well. This paper will review some of the pedagogical implications of multicompetence as described by Cook (1999, 2002).

description: It has been shown that a best rank-R approximation of an order-k tensor may not exist when R>1 and k>2. This poses a serious problem to data analysts using tensor decompositions. It has been observed numerically that, generally, this issue cannot be solved by consecutively computing and subtracting best rank-1 approximations. The reason for this is that subtracting a best rank-1 approximation generally does not decrease tensor rank. In this paper, we provide a mathematical treatment of this property for real-valued 2x2x2 tensors, with symmetric tensors as a special case. Regardless of the symmetry, we show that for generic 2x2x2 tensors (which have rank 2 or 3), subtracting a best rank-1 approximation results in a tensor that has rank 3 and lies on the boundary between the rank-2 and rank-3 sets. Hence, for a typical tensor of rank 2, subtracting a best rank-1 approximation increases the tensor rank.

Problematically suspended between her ethnic memory and her role as an active cultural agent in the white world, Erdrich advocates a crossing of boundaries between the white and red cultures and effectively dramatizes their dialogue through a series of portraits of half-breed women. Finally, by deconstructing sanctioned Indian stereotypes, Erdrich provides a "mixed-blood" version of the colonialist theme of ethnic intermarriage.

description: To grow up healthy, young people need support, love, and encouragement from caring, principled adults. They need homes, schools, congregations, and communities that are accepting, affirming, and safe (Roehlkepartain , 1997). Youth and Families with Promise (YFP), a mentoring program for youth-at-risk sponsored by Utah State University Extension, is one such community endeavor. The YFP program is offered as a community service with the goal of increasing social, emotional, family, and educational assets of youth between the ages of 8-14. The program is designed to improve the youth's chances of success and to increase their ability to become and remain positive contributing citizens in their community. To enhance the basic goals of the program, offering 4-H Summer Camp projects to these youth is consistent with the goals of the 4-H program in Extension

The Influence of Changing L1 on Child Second Language Acquisition
Creators: name: Kwon, Eun-Young
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2006

description: This paper presents a 26-month longitudinal study of a child who began learning English while developing her native Korean, conducted in order to investigate the role of language transfer in child SLA. The study examined the subject’s first language (L1) and second language (L2) negation, and plural and possessive markings. It looked for evidence of language transfer (LT) using comparisons to English L2 data from speakers with similar and dissimilar L1s, as well as comparisons between the subject’s L2 speech and her L1 system (Jarvis, 2000). The data showed evidence of LT for all features studied, with a predominance of Korean to English transfer early in the study period, and English to Korean toward the end. Results are interpreted using Foster-Cohen’s (2001) Sliding Window approach, which states that rather than neatly distinguishing L1 from L2 acquisition or early from late SLA, individual development along a variety of axes should be considered, including age, cognitive maturity, and native-like performance in L1. From this standpoint, the subject’s waxing and waning L2 performance across the study period appears to reflect changes in her L1 and in intensity of exposure to both languages.

description: Speaking has been considered one of the most important skills in second language teaching and assessment. However, to date there has not been a clear definition of speaking ability. The present study attempts to examine what it means to be able to speak a second language using a newly designed computer-delivered speaking test. The test was created based on a theoretical definition of speaking ability, and then administered to 95 ESL students. A variety of statistical analyses were employed to examine the validity of the test, including reliability analyses, correlation analyses, and a many-facet Rasch measurement (Linacre, 1989) analysis. Results seem to provide some evidence for the validation of the test.

description: The influence of atomic vibrations on x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) is calculated by assuming that vibrational energies are small with respect to the instrumental resolution. The resulting expression shows that, at the K-edge, vibrations enable electric dipole transitions to 3s and 3d final states. The theory is applied to the K-edge of Al in Al2O3 corundum and of Ti in TiO2 rutile and compared with experiment. At the Al K-edge, sizeable transitions towards 3s final states are obtained, leading to a clear improvement of the agreement with experimental spectra. At the Ti K-edge, electric dipole transitions towards 3d final states explain the temperature dependence of the pre-edge features.

In diesem Kapitel wird herausgearbeitet, wie eine hohe Qualität engagierter Zusammenarbeit in Gruppen auf verschiedenen Ebenen - sowohl kognitiv-aufgabenbezogen als auch interpersonell-emotional - beschrieben werden kann. Dabei geht es um die praxisrelevante Frage, wie digital unterstütztes Lernen etwa im Hochschulstudium bezüglich der Qualität des gemeinsamen Engagements in Studierendengruppen besser gefördert werden kann. Denn: eine verlässliche Kooperation in Zeiten der Digitalisierung muss gelernt werden. Hochschulen leisten einen bedeutenden Beitrag zur Realisierung verlässlicher Kooperation, wenn sie Studierende gezielt in kollaborativen Lehr- und Lernsituationen fördern und fordern, in denen Gruppenprozesse effektiv und effizient zu gestalten sind. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist es dabei, digital unterstützte Lehr-/Lernszenarien zu entwickeln, in denen Studierende Gelegenheit haben, mit digitalen Werkzeugen zu arbeiten, diese in der Gruppenarbeit anzuwenden und auszuprobieren, um damit komplexe Probleme zu lösen und Teamkompetenzen zu erwerben.
Cable health monitoring using power line communications signal and machine learning technique
Creators: name: Huo, Yinjia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Automated cable health monitoring is an indispensable constituent of a smart grid (SG). We employ machine learning (ML) techniques to automatically analyze power line communications (PLC) signals to monitor the health condition of electric cables under changing environments and load conditions. PLC provides an attractive solution for both monitoring and control of an SG. With regards to the former, we reuse the wide-band signals transmitted by PLC modems to also diagnose the cable health conditions. This circumvents the requirement of conventional cable diagnostics solutions to install additional dedicated sensors. In this thesis, we first propose an ML framework using supervised learning to analyze a degradation profile automatically. This includes the type, the severity, the dimension and the location of the degradation. We carry out extensive studies with synthetic channels using a water-treeing degradation model for cross-linked polyethylene cables. We explore various ML algorithms, including neural networks and automated machine learning, for our developed supervised learning cable diagnostics schemes. Then, in the absence of a detailed characterization of a particular type of the cable degradation, we design cable anomaly detection schemes using unsupervised dimension reduction and time-series processing techniques. We incorporate laboratory measurement data and in-field collected experimental data into our design. We illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed schemes using both synthetic studies and measurement data.

description: As a landscape architecture student, I am interested in the use of plant materials; they are a fundamental part of my design palette. However, I am concerned with the quantity of water used for irrigation of mostly non-native plant materials in built landscapes of the arid west. An estimated 60-65% of water consumed in Utah from May September is used to irrigate landscapes. Landscape architects must do their part in dealing with the impending water crisis by modifying current practices. An important first step is to use and encourage others to use more drought tolerant native plants. The purpose of this project is to educate and inform professionals, students, and the public about Utah 's native plant materials, highlight their water conserving attributes, and demonstrate how these plants can be used within the landscape context.

An Interactional Sociolinguistics Perspective
Creators: name: DelPrete, Donna
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL

description: In this husband and wife’s conversation about future vacation plans, a communication struggle seems to be taking place. The interlocutors are struggling to get their respective points across through conflicting frames, differing stances, and lack of alignment with each other. The numerous pauses in each of the three excerpts, as well as the overlaps, the elongated vowels, the repeated expressions, and the emphatic stresses on words and phrases are among the contextualization cues that signal conflicting conversational frames (Tannen, 1993), and areas of communicative breakdowns. Framing is a key notion in any analysis of human interaction, particularly when analyzing discourse in terms of gender relations (Tannen, 1990). Common frames, and shared expectations, help to ensure smooth, synchronous conversational exchanges (Gumperz, 1982). When speakers are operating under different frames, lack of conversational synchronization and participant alignment are accompanying factors. From the interplay of all these factors, communication clashes are likely to arise. In the three excerpts, each speaker experiences moments of tension, discomfort, and misunderstanding due to conflicting frames and lack of shared expectations and alignment.

title: Creating Community Greenbelts Through TDR Zoning
Creators: name: Watkins, Tim B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2001

description: Many cities and towns in the lntennountain West were founded on the ideals of clustered community development with surrounding greenbelts by Morn1on settlers in the mid nineteenth century. Since the twentieth-century development of the automobile, increased mobility has enabled residential and commercial development to disrupt surrounding rural lands with scattered growth. Correctly applied, TOR (Transfer of Development Right) strategies could reverse negative sprawling development trends by channeling growth towards existing communities to simulate the abandoned pioneer town and country model. A community development transfer strategy can respect private property rights, and allow fanners to keep their land in agriculture while earning development income. This report provides a description and methodology for understanding and applying TOR to current land development policies by focusing on Cache County, Utah, a chosen jurisdiction in the heart of the lntermountain West. A GIS case study further explores TOR community build-out potential by applying a greenbelt zoning model to Mendon, Utah, an 11,484-acre town and surrounding farn1-belt area. The findings of this study show how the Men Jon region (current population 1,436) could preserve over 9,000 acres of farmland and wildlife habitat surrounding the community while accommodating an additional 3,564 residents (a 46-year growth projection) on only 1,572 acres. Final recommendations include an inter-local governmental agreement between Cache County and local cities as a cooperative effort to direct development from county open spaces towards established community infrastructure. Given the absence of state TOR enabling legislation in Utah, inter-jurisdictional development right transfers (from county jurisdiction into city boundaries) are not permitted. An inter-local agreement, however, would enable a city to target unincorporated receiving zones (or development zones) adjacent to existing incorporated boundaries. As a condition for city water and sewer services, a city could require that county development rights be transferred into receiving zones and developed according to city design standards. After receiving zones fill with development, a city could annex after 12 months of providing services without petition or protest from receiving zone residents. Inter-local TOR agreements are recommended by the Cache County-wide Planning and Development (CCPD) director as a means of achieving the TOR greenbelt growth patterns recommended in this research.

description: Recently a model of metric fluctuations has been proposed which yields an effective Schrödinger equation for a quantum particle with a modified inertial mass, leading to a violation of the weak equivalence principle. The renormalization of the inertial mass tensor results from a local space average over the fluctuations of the metric over a fixed background metric. Here, we demonstrate that the metric fluctuations of this model lead to a further physical effect, namely to an effective decoherence of the quantum particle. We derive a quantum master equation for the particle's density matrix, discuss in detail its dissipation and decoherence properties, and estimate the corresponding decoherence time scales. By contrast to other models discussed in the literature, in the present approach the metric fluctuations give rise to a decay of the coherences in the energy representation, i. e., to a localization in energy space.

Detecting and Switching Magnetization of Stoner Nanograin in Non-local Spin Valve

description: The magnetization detection and switching of an ultrasmall Stoner nanograin in a non-local spin valve (NLSV) device is studied theoretically. With the help of the rate equations, a unified description can be presented on the same footing for the NLSV signal that reads out the magnetization, and for the switching process. The setup can be viewed as that the grain is connected to two non-magnetic leads via sequential tunneling. In one lead, the chemical potentials for spin-up and -down electrons are split due to the spin injection in the NLSV. This splitting (or the spin bias) is crucial to the NLSV signal and the critical condition to the magnetization switching. By using the standard spin diffusion equation and parameters from recent NLSV device, the magnitude of the spin bias is estimated, and found large enough to drive the magnetization switching of the cobalt nanograin reported in earlier experiments. A microscopic interpretation of NLSV signal in the sequential tunneling regime is thereby raised, which show properties due to the ultrasmall size of the grain. The dynamics at the reversal point shows that there may be a spin-polarized current instead of the anticipated pure spin current flowing during the reversal due to the electron accumulation in the floating lead used for the readout of NLSV signal.

description: We examine the equant model for the motion of planets, which has been the starting point of Kepler's investigations before he modified it because of Mars observations. We show that, up to first order in eccentricity, this model implies for each orbit a velocity which satisfies Kepler's second law and Hamilton's hodograph, and a centripetal acceleration with an inverse square dependence on the distance to the sun. If this dependence is assumed to be universal, Kepler's third law follows immediately. This elementary execice in kinematics for undergraduates emphasizes the proximity of the equant model coming from Ancient Greece with our present knowledge. It adds to its historical interest a didactical relevance concerning, in particular, the discussion of the Aristotelian or Newtonian conception of motion.

description: In this conversation, a husband and wife discuss upcoming vacation plans (see Appendix A for the full transcript). It seems that the wife is guiding much of the conversation through attentiongetting phrases and by explicitly stating what she hopes the talk will accomplish. The husband, on the other hand, answers the wife and, at times, tries to add his opinion but is not able to get it out because the wife is talking over him or continues talking. Of the three excerpts we are focusing on (see Appendix B), the husband talks most in excerpt B, calculating expenses. There are instances of implicature (Grice, 1975), where one spouse understands unstated or implied meanings, and cases where one or both spouses are attending to negative or positive face needs (Brown & Levinson, 1987).

title: Combining Intake and IEP meetings: Evaluation of the Effects of Interagency Collaboration between Vocational Rehabilitation and Special Educators
Creators: name: Cummings, Katrina

Year: 2017

description: Collaboration between agencies has been shown to be an indicator of post-school success for individuals with disabilities. While it is shown to be important, collaboration between Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) and Special Educators (SPED) does not always occur. This project examined the effects of combining Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and intake interviews on the rate and satisfaction of collaboration and the understanding of the other agencies roles and responsibilities. Participants included four SPED teachers and two VR counselors. All participants worked with individuals with disabilities between the ages 15-22 years who attend public education in a school district in the western region of the U.S. Participants completed a pre-survey which included information about (a) demographic information, (b) rate of and satisfaction with collaboration, and (c) understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the other agency. After the presurvey, participants received a training on why and how to conduct IEPs and intake meetings together. Thereafter, they conducted combined IEPs and intake interviews. After IEP/intake meetings, participants completed a post-survey that included (a) rate of and satisfaction with collaboration, (b) understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the other agency, and (c) satisfaction of combining IEPs and intake meetings. The overall rate of and satisfaction of collaboration increased. Also, all but one participant’s overall understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the other agency increased. The one participant that did not increase had a ceiling effect, that is, this individual was unable to rate level of understanding higher than the pre-survey rating. All of the participants were satisfied with combining the meetings. Overall, the participants reported that this process might change scheduling going forward in their career. Findings suggested the process of combined IEP/intake meetings was a viable process that could be used to enroll more students for VR services while increasing the rate of and satisfaction with collaboration between the agencies.

description: Conversations, especially between people who have a common history such as married couples, inevitably build on or refer back to previous talks. Couples are sensitive to what is said “between the lines”, to what they think the other really means when he or she is talking about certain things. As researchers and outside observers, we do not share the knowledge that the participants have in common and, therefore, we must – at least initially – only consider the data at hand in our analysis. In keeping with the principles of conversation analysis, then, according to which the researcher should avoid making inferences as to the participants’ motives and/or intentions, the following analysis will attempt to establish what is demonstrably relevant to the participants at the moment of the observed interaction and how this is displayed by the participants.

The Critical Period in the Acquisition of L2 Syntax: A Partial Replication of Johnson and Newport (1989)
Creators: name: Seol, Heekyung
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2005

description: The present study was conducted as an attempt to partially replicate the Johnson and Newport (1989) study (JN89). Given that JN89 yielded the most clear-cut evidence demonstrating the presence of the Critical Period (CP) in the domain of L2 syntax, it has been regarded as one of the landmark CP investigations. This study sought to ascertain whether the evidence provided in JN89 is replicable with a different population of 34 Korean native speakers of English. The results, although not in complete agreement with those of JN89, provide some modest support for the existence of the CP.

description: Positive results of dark matter searches in DAMA/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA experiments, being put together with the results of other groups, can imply nontrivial particle physics solutions for cosmological dark matter. Stable particles with charge -2, bound with primordial helium in O-helium "atoms" (OHe), represent a specific Warmer than Cold nuclear-interacting form of dark matter. Slowed down in the terrestrial matter, OHe is elusive for direct methods of underground Dark matter detection used in cryogenic experiments. However radiative capture of OHe by Na and I nuclei can lead to annual variations of energy release in the interval of energy 2-5 keV in DAMA/NaI and DAMA/LIBRA experiments.

New intrinsic-colour calibration for $uvby$--$β$ photometry
Creators: name: Karatas, Yuksel

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: A new intrinsic-colour calibration ($(b$--$y)_{o}$--$β$) is presented for the $uvby$--$β$ photometric system, making use of re-calibrated Hipparcos parallaxes and published reddening maps. This new calibration for $(b$--$y)_{o}$--$β$, our Equation (1), has been based upon stars with $d_{Hip} < 70$ pc in the photometric catalogues of Schuster et al. (1988, 1993, 2006), provides a small dispersion, $\pm0.009$, and has a positive ``standard'' $+2.239Δβ$ coefficient, which is not too different from the coefficients of Crawford (+1.11; 1975a) and of Olsen (+1.34; 1988). For 61 stars with spectra from CASPEC, UVES/VLT, and FIES/NOT databases, without detectable Na I lines, the average reddening value $ = -0.001\pm0.002$ shows that any zero-point correction to our intrinsic-colour equation must be minuscule.

title: A Catalog and the Perceived Effectiveness of Stormwater Best Management Practices BMPs Used on Municipal Sites in Northern Utah
Creators: name: Ahmed, Saadia E.

description: Stormwater, as a result of hydrological events and urbanization, has contributed to problem s of water quality and flooding. Stormwater picks up pollutants and flows into sewer systems ultimately impacting water sheds and wildlife habitat. The primary method to control storm water discharge is by the use of best management practices. This research seeks to evaluate the perceived effectiveness of stormwater structural Best Management Practice s (BMPs) installed on municipal sites in northern Utah. A representative sample of sites is chosen using a snowballing sampling method. Selected sites are visited and surveys addressing effectiveness and maintenance issue s are answered by city engineers and maintenance personnel associated with the site. The results of the survey are catalogued and the perceived effectiveness of the most commonly found BMP types analyzed. Additionally, the results where catalogued according to the respondents' technical training to highlight whether differences in technical education effected their perceptions towards the BMP effectiveness and whether managers with similar levels of training hold common perceptions. This study concludes that after the EPA Phase II Rule (passed in 2000) the rate of installation of BMPs in northern Utah has accelerated and with a dramatic increase in the use of BMP types that improve water quality. Stromwater Wetlands, Extended Dry Detention Basins, Wet Ponds, Infiltration Devices, Sediment Basins, and Grassed Swales are found to be the most common BMP types used in northern Utah. Overall, most of the BMPs are perceived as effective in achieving their intended objectives. The results also indicated that the level of technical training does influence storm water managers' perceptions towards BMP effectiveness and managers with similar technical training hold similar perceptions.
Speaking Jewish: “Yiddish” in the Discourse of First-Generation American Yiddish Speakers

description: By the end of this century, well over half of the world’s languages will disappear. Analyzing how minority languages are discussed by native speakers can provide insight into the relationship between language ideologies and language survival. This paper addresses the position of Yiddish in America by examining discourse about the language by first-generation American native speakers and by demonstrating how these speakers construct an ideological version of Yiddish through their speech. How this specific version of Yiddish may have affected its current position is discussed. The paper also considers Critical Discourse Analysis as a useful method in analyzing discourse regarding Yiddish while critiquing its prizing of dominant discourse as the subject of analysis.

Year: 1991

description: This essay connects the development of Rose's poetic language with her estrangement from her family's multi-ethnic traditions. Rose's quest for a Native American and, more recently, for a half-breed identity is explored through the analysis of two recurrent images associated with flight and earth. These reach back to her father's Hopi tradition where woman's creative power is evidenced in the symbols of the butterfly, the dragonfly, of Mother Corn, and of Mother Earth.

title: Design Guidelines for the Historic Downtown of the City of St. George, Utah
Creators: name: Tatton, Bronson R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2007

description: This document proposes historic preservation guidelines for the downtown area of the City of St. George, Utah. It grew from a summer internship with the city where I took inventory of the streetscape in the Historic Downtown and prepared recommendations in the form of a PowerPoint Presentation that was given to the city council. This paper summarizes the summer internship and introduces a more appropriate approach based on reflection of the intern ship. The new approach involves a thorough inventory of the historic character, in depth research of the historic elements that contribute to the historic character, development of design guidelines and standards, reviews, and codification of the design guidelines and standards. The historic elements that contribute most to the city's historic character are identified as 1) block and lot layout and building setbacks, 2) architecture, 3) irrigation ditches, 4) tree lined streets, and 5) other streetscape elements and site features. Through comprehensive research of old photography, literature, and existing conditions these historic elements are further defined. The historic elements are currently being specified in design guidelines and standards and reviewed by the city in preparation for possible codification.

description: Wireless Sensor networks (WSN) is an emerging technology and have great potential to be employed in critical situations like battlefields and commercial applications such as building, traffic surveillance, habitat monitoring and smart homes and many more scenarios. One of the major challenges wireless sensor networks face today is security. While the deployment of sensor nodes in an unattended environment makes the networks vulnerable to a variety of potential attacks, the inherent power and memory limitations of sensor nodes makes conventional security solutions unfeasible. The sensing technology combined with processing power and wireless communication makes it profitable for being exploited in great quantity in future. The wireless communication technology also acquires various types of security threats. This paper discusses a wide variety of attacks in WSN and their classification mechanisms and different securities available to handle them including the challenges faced.

The Role of Connectives in Text Comprehension
Creators: name: Ben-Anath, Dafna
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2005

description: Text comprehension results in a cognitive representation of meaning conveyed by the propositions that constitute a text. A variety of linguistic and cognitive factors affect a reader’s ability to construct such meaning, that is, to identify appropriate and coherent relations between the propositions. This literature review examines the role of linguistic devices such as connectives in facilitating text comprehension. Theoretical frameworks on the nature of connectives will be presented followed by a review of empirical studies that examined their function in the construction of coherent relations. These studies reveal multiple perspectives to account for the means by which connectives operate to achieve their effects. A discussion of the findings support a cognitive view whereby connectives function as procedural devices by constraining the psychological context that is brought to bear upon comprehension processes.
