Quality of Service (QoS) in Enterprise WAN Networks
No full textEnterprise IT organizations started to face issues related to managing applications over the slow speed Wide Area Network (WAN) circuits a few years ago with the appearance and use of file-sharing applications over their WANs and/or Internet between headquarters and branch offices. The pain has continued to grow with introduction of mission critical transactional type data along with voice and video traffic over these networks.
For this very reason several techniques were developed and implemented over the years by the vendors and service providers to help the Enterprise organization cope with these problems.
This field project report provides an overview of Quality of Service (QoS) and its implementation in Enterprise Networks for Engineering Managers. The author will discuss the best practices around developing designs for architectures already in place, as well as the business and technical challenges that are faced by Engineering Managers in enterprise organizations when deploying QoS. While the project focuses on QoS implementation of WAN, similar concepts can be used for any type of implementation throughout the network.
The author will first address the issue of bandwidth utilization and how its use has increased in recent years, what type of applications are driving it and the issues enterprise organizations are having in managing it. Next, the various industry standard solutions available to tackle this issue and the advantages of deploying them in the network will be discussed. Recommendations on the use of Project Planning guidelines to implement this critical project within the company and strategic steps that can be used to accomplish the goal will follow.
Finally, cost analysis will show that increasing the bandwidth on the WAN can simply add cost to the enterprise organizations in most cases, whereas the proper use of QoS can help the organization reduce cost while utilizing the existing circuits while delivering the same level of service.
The author recommends the use of QoS in networks to manage traffic but does not rule out the possibility of increasing bandwidth in the enterprise network or the combination of both

No full textTeaching Literature of Economic Migration
No full textThis article is reproduced here with permission from the author and may be found online at http://www.mcrg.ac.in/rw%20files/RW64_65/RW64_65.pdf.Teaching literatures of migration in a multicultural classroom cannot be isolated from the textual entanglements with other media through which such a literature maps on to a culture. This essay will deliberate on how economic migration in the contemporary world differs from the earlier phases of diasporas, reflect on the critical analysis of its representation in contemporary
literature on migration and highlight the fault lines of such conceptualisation. Further, it delves on practices in classroom in the teaching of this literature, and possible outcomes of such a course on literatures of migration
Performatiivista viestintää: Palestiinalaisten vastarinta, hiphop-musiikki ja kyberavaruuden performanssit
No full textThe study addresses communicative performances of Palestinian resistance through hip-hop as sites of resistance across the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Through theorizing cultural sites of performance, the author reflects four domains of resistance within Palestinian hip-hop while simultaneously weaving in her own performative voice. Thus, the goal is to create global connections and communication through performance with both the diasporic Palestinian population and Palestinians living inside Palestine in relation to larger dominant structures.Tutkimus käsittelee performatiivista palestiinalaisen vastarinnan hiphop-musiikin kautta tapahtuvaa viestintää keskittyen rodun, luokan, sosiaalisen sukupuolen ja seksuaalisuuden risteyskohtiin sekä kulttuuristen esityspaikkojen teoretisointiin (theorizing cultural sites of performance). Kirjoittaja esittelee neljä vastarinnan osa-aluetta palestiinalaisessa hiphop-musiikissa yhdistäen ne samalla omaan esittäjän ääneensä. Tavoitteena on luoda palestiinalaisten kanssa globaalia yhteyttä ja vuorovaikutusta performanssin kautta – elivätpä he sitten diasporassa tai Palestiinassa – sekä käsitellä samalla suurempia vallitsevia rakenteita.

Muslim women and white femininity : reenactment and resistance /
No full textMuslim Women and White Femininity is a much-needed book at a time where Muslim women are speaking out but also embodying White femininity. This book focuses on how Whiteness travels through Muslim women's bodies who in turn reenact or resist White womanhood. Through three archetypes: The Oppressed, The Advocate, and the Humanitarian Leader, the author aims to demonstrate the necessity of archetypal criticism as a method that can teach the reader or student how to deconstruct dominant discourses in the media. This book aims to address intercultural, gender, intersectional and critical communication courses but is also suited for the general public who wishes to understand the deceptive nature of the media. Thus, at a time where Muslim women are being used as media objects by Western media, this book is crucial in breaking down how readers can begin to uncover dominant ideologies that are carried through and by Muslim women.Includes bibliographical references and index.Understanding the postcolonial and performance through whiteness and intersectionality -- Weaving intersectionality through narrative criticism : western feminism and the marginalization of third world women -- Malala Yousafazai : the oppressed Muslim woman and the search for agency -- Ayaan Hirsi Ali : the advocate and the rejection of Islam -- Queen Rania : the humanitarian leader and the search for a counter-narrative -- Conclusion : the search for an intersectional feminist ethic.Muslim Women and White Femininity is a much-needed book at a time where Muslim women are speaking out but also embodying White femininity.

ALS Linked Mutations in Matrin 3 Alter Protein-Protein Interactions and Impede mRNA Nuclear Export
No full textabstract: Exome sequencing was used to identify novel variants linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), in a family without mutations in genes previously linked to ALS. A F115C mutation in the gene MATR3 was identified, and further examination of other ALS kindreds identified an additional three mutations in MATR3; S85C, P154S and T622A. Matrin 3 is an RNA/DNA binding protein as well as part of the nuclear matrix. Matrin 3 interacts with TDP-43, a protein that is both mutated in some forms of ALS, and found in pathological inclusions in most ALS patients. Matrin 3 pathology, including mislocalization and rare cytoplasmic inclusions, was identified in spinal cord tissue from a patient carrying a mutation in Matrin 3, as well as sporadic ALS patients. In an effort to determine the mechanism of Matrin 3 linked ALS, the protein interactome of wild-type and ALS-linked MATR3 mutations was examined. Immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry experiments were performed using NSC-34 cells expressing human wild-type or mutant Matrin 3. Gene ontology analysis identified a novel role for Matrin 3 in mRNA transport centered on proteins in the TRanscription and EXport (TREX) complex, known to function in mRNA biogenesis and nuclear export. ALS-linked mutations in Matrin 3 led to its re-distribution within the nucleus, decreased co-localization with endogenous Matrin 3 and increased co-localization with specific TREX components. Expression of disease-causing Matrin 3 mutations led to nuclear mRNA export defects of both global mRNA and more specifically the mRNA of TDP-43 and FUS. Our findings identify ALS-causing mutations in the gene MATR3, as well as a potential pathogenic mechanism attributable to MATR3 mutations and further link cellular transport defects to ALS.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Neuroscience 201

Nesting ecology of hawksbill turtles, Eretmochelys imbricata, in an extreme environmental setting
No full textRelatively few details of hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) nesting ecology exist within the Arabian Gulf. Moreover, little is known about how their nesting dynamics compare to nesting populations throughout the rest of the world. Due to the extreme environmental setting, nesting ecology of hawksbills in the Arabian Gulf is of significant interest to researchers and conservationists. The current research reports on a long-term tagging and monitoring program undertaken at Fuwairit beach, Qatar. To investigate nesting behavior, site surveys and tagging were employed from 2010 to 2016. Presence of nests and clutch sizes were confirmed by excavation. Over the entire study period, nesting hawksbills had a mean curved carapace length of 70.8 cm (SD±2.8). A total 187 nests were confirmed, which contained a mean 78.9 eggs per clutch (SD±17.1), over an annual nesting season that lasted an average of 52.2 days (SD±6.3) from the start of April to the start of June. Meta-analysis with other global regions showed these characteristics to be significantly reduced when compared to nesting hawksbills from other populations. Meteorological data analysis showed air temperatures in the Arabian Gulf to increase on average 13.2°C (SD±0.26) from start to the end of nesting annually, which is significantly greater than other global nesting regions. Their smaller body size and reduced fecundity coupled with the extreme change in ambient air temperatures support the hypothesis that hawksbills in the region are more at risk than the already critically endangered hawksbill populations elsewhere in the world.This study was funded and the work was approved for publication by Qatar Petroleum.
