No full textThe construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

An ICMP-Based Mobility Management Approach Suitable for Protocol Deployment Limitation
No full text[[abstract]]Mobility management is one of the important tasks on wireless networks. Many approaches have been proposed in the past, but none of them have been widely deployed so far. Mobile IP (MIP) and Route Optimization (ROMIP), respectively, suffer from triangular routing problem and binding cache supporting upon each node on the entire Internet. One step toward a solution is the Mobile Routing Table (MRT), which enables edge routers to take over address binding. However, this approach demands that all the edge routers on the Internet support MRT, resulting in protocol deployment difficulties. To address this problem and to offset the limitation of the original MRT approach, we propose two different schemes, an ICMP echo scheme and an ICMP destination-unreachable scheme. These two schemes work with the MRT to efficiently find MRT-enabled routers that greatly reduce the number of triangular routes. In this paper, we analyze and compare the standard MIP and the proposed approaches. Simulation results have shown that the proposed approaches reduce transmission delay, with only a few routers supporting MRT. Copyright (C) 2009 Jeng-Yueng Chen et al.[[note]]SC
Meshfree model for earthquake-induced transient response in a porous seabed
No full textThe earthquake-induced seabed instability is one of critical issues that need to be considered in the offshore structure design procedure. However, the investigations of the earthquake-induced seabed behaviour are limited. Most previous studies regard to the seabed response are adopting the traditional mesh-based method (such as finite element method). In this study, to overcome the drawbacks existing in mesh-based methods (for example, time-consuming and mathematical sophistication), a meshfree method is adopted to predict the soil response under the Japan 311 earthquake, based on the “u−p” approximation. The numerical results conclude that the earthquake-induced transient response, including the acceleration and the pore pressure were amplified from the top to the bottom of the seabed. The high values of the degree of saturation lead to a large magnitude of the pore pressures, while the amplification for the seismic wave become slightly extensive as the soil permeability increases.Full Tex
