    Finding Patterns and Making Predictions: A Dialogue on Mentored Student Research and Engaged Learning Abroad Anthony Hatcher, Ph.D., Elon University, US, [email protected] Mia Watkins, A.B., Elon University, US During the week of April 7-11, 2014, a team of five undergraduate researchers and two mentors from Elon University in Elon, N.C., traveled to Hong Kong to conduct oral history interviews with inductees at the Internet Hall of Fame (IHOF) Induction/International IT Fest 2014. Coverage of IHOF is one of the many joint initiatives of the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project and the Imagining the Internet Center at Elon University. This essay presents an overview of the planning and research processes used by Elon University School of Communications students who interviewed and recorded inductees to the 2014 Internet Hall of Fame. The essay concludes with a dialogue between a professor/mentor, Anthony Hatcher, and one of the student researchers, Mia Watkins, who conducted follow-up research based on the interviewees’ responses. Watkins’ commentary on various stages of the process also appears throughout the essay. About the Imagining the Internet Center A central purpose of Elon’s Imagining the Internet Center is primary source data collection in order to create a permanent, ongoing archive and interactive history of the rapidly evolving world of digital communication, specifically the origins and development of the Internet. These data include video interviews with Internet pioneers involved in significant discoveries and innovations. The Center maintains that learning from past achievements can inform future public policy. The mission of the Imagining the Internet Center is “to explore and provide insights into emerging network innovations, global development, dynamics, diffusion and governance” (Imagining the Internet, n.d.).

  • On the Cascaded Weibull Fading Channel Model
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Journal of the Franklin Institute 344 (2007) 1–11 www.elsevier.com/locate/jfranklin On the cascaded Weibull fading channel model Nikos C. Sagiasa, George S. Tombrasb,Ã aInstitute of Informatics and Telecommunications, National Centre for Scientific Research– ‘‘Demokritos’’, Agia Paraskevi, GR-15310 Athens, Greece bLaboratory of Electronics, Department of Physics, University of Athens, Panepistimiopolis, Zografou, GR-15784 Athens, Greece Received 3 April 2006; received in revised form 24 June 2006; accepted 6 July 2006 Abstract A new stochastic fading channel model called cascaded Weibull fading is introduced and the associated capacity is derived in closed form. This model is generated by the product of independent, but not necessarily identically distributed, Weibull random variables (RVs). By quantifying the convergence rate of the central limit theorem as pertaining to the multiplication of Weibull distributed RVs, the statistical basis of the lognormal distribution is investigated. By performing Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests, the null hypothesis for this product to be approximated by the lognormal distribution is studied. Another null hypothesis is also examined for this product to be approximated by a Weibull distribution with properly adjusted statistical parameters. r 2006 The Franklin Institute.

Keywords: Fading channels; Weibull distribution; Lognormal distribution; Cascaded fading; Shannon capacity; Kolmogorov–Smirnov test; Central limit theorem (CLT); Stochastic models; Product of variates 1. Introduction Due to the existence of a great variety of fading environments, several distributions have been proposed for channel modeling of fading envelopes under short, long, as well as mixed fading conditions [1]. Recently, attention has been given to the so-called ‘‘multiplicative’’ stochastic models.

  • L'italia E L'eurovision Song Contest Un Rinnovato
    La musica unisce l'Europa… e non solo C'è chi la definisce "La Champions League" della musica e in fondo non sbaglia. L'Eurovision è una grande festa, ma soprattutto è un concorso in cui i Paesi d'Europa si sfidano a colpi di note. Tecnicamente, è un concorso fra televisioni, visto che ad organizzarlo è l'EBU (European Broadcasting Union), l'ente che riunisce le tv pubbliche d'Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Noi italiani l'abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson, l'abbreviazione per tutti è Eurovision. Oggi più che mai una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2016 43 paesi: 42 aderenti all'ente organizzatore più l'Australia, che dell'EBU è solo membro associato, essendo fuori dall'area (l’anno scorso fu invitata dall’EBU per festeggiare i 60 anni del concorso per via dei grandi ascolti che la rassegna fa in quel paese e che quest’anno è stata nuovamente invitata dall’organizzazione). L'ideatore della rassegna fu un italiano: Sergio Pugliese, nel 1956 direttore della RAI, che ispirandosi a Sanremo volle creare una rassegna musicale europea. La propose a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio eurovisione, che mise il sigillo sull'idea: ecco così nascere un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv. E oltre a questo, molto più prosaicamente, anche sperimentare una diretta in simultanea in più Paesi e promuovere il mezzo televisivo nel vecchio continente.
