Effective utilization of instructional technology can provide a valuable method for the delivery of a school program, and enable a teacher to individualize according to student needs. Implementation of such a program is costly and requires careful planning and adequate staff development for school personnel. This study examined the degree of commitment by Texas school districts to the use of the latest technologies in their efforts to revolutionize education. Quantitative data were collected by using a survey that included five informational areas: (1) school district background, (2) funding for budget, (3) staff, (4) technology hardware, and (5) staff development. The study included 137 school districts representing the 5 University Interscholastic League (UIL) classifications (A through AAAAA). The survey was mailed to the school superintendents requesting that the persons most familiar with instructional technology be responsible for completing the questionnaires. Analysis of data examined the relationship between UIL classification and the amount of money expended on instructional technology. Correlation coefficients were determined between teachers receiving training in the use of technology and total personnel assigned to technology positions. Coefficients were calculated between a district providing a plan fortechnology and employment of a coordinator for instructional technology. Significance was established at the .05 level. A significant relationship was determined between the total district budget and the amount of money allocated to instructional technology. There was a significant relationship between the number of teachers receiving training in technology and the number of personnel assigned to technology positions. A significant negative relationship was determined between the district having a long-range plan for technology and the employment of a full-time coordinator for one of the subgroups. An attempt was made to provide information concerning the effort by local school districts to provide technology for instructional purposes. Progress has been made, although additional funds will be required in order to realize the full potential of all technologies.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The outset of the thesis was in answer to an underdevelopment in the research on integrated digital technologies in schools. The purpose of the thesis was to understand the activity system of using an integrated digital technology in a municipality’s school organization. The research questions regarded different perceptions between organizational levels, as well as contradictions in the activity system and the consequences of these contradictions. A qualitative approach was chosen, where interviews were conducted with seven personnel in the municipal school organization, both principals and development workers. In analyzes, an activity theoretical approach was used to expand the understanding of the activity system. Main findings included a detailed representation of perceptions of informants, as well as contradictions in the activity system. The contradictions were related to many components of the activity system with varying consequences to both organization and individual. Specifically, findings indicate that integrated digital technologies require certain institutional assumptions, and many difficulties and challenges are related to the intent of having many stakeholders of school organizations interacting in the same integrated technology.

The aim of this research project was to find out why the employees in the Middle East region, as a part of a large global company, did not use a project tracking information system. The research was conducted with a mixed method, starting with a qualitative study in order to gain an understanding of the problem and the current setting. Thereafter, hypotheses were tested with an e-survey sent out to the entire user group, which were around 350 persons. The outcome of the survey was surprisingly that the hypotheses, which were based on the United Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), were rejected. The findings in this study showed that if the user experiences a relative advantage with the system it has a positive effect on use as well as good data quality. This study has found that the opinions of colleagues and managers play a role on use and also the lack of integration. This research will serve as a base for future studies to investigate how the system is used and how it supports the business process. Furthermore, these findings contribute to the criticism on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and its successor.

The aim of the thesis is developing an in vitro model that resembles the cyclic dynamic fluctuations that can be correlated to the pertinent biological networks for dissecting the effects the metabolism on circadian clock.
The circadian rhythms are an adaptation to the evolutionarily conserved environment, because they allow to coordinate temporally external environmental cycles (eg. light/ dark) with internal biological and physiological processes (eg. sleep/ wake). Forced misalignment of behavioral and circadian cycles in human subjects, have been associated with increased prevalence of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, in addition to certain cancers and inflammatory disorders.
The potential of the microfluidic approach allows dynamic study on circadian behavior of peripheral tissues, opening a new perspective in circadian field.Lo scopo della tesi è di sviluppare un modello in vitro in grado di mimare fluttuazioni dinamiche e cicliche che possono essere correlate a reti biologiche pertinenti per sezionare gli effetti che il metabolismo ha sull'orologio circadiani. I ritmi circadiani sono un adattamento all'ambiente evolutivamente conservato, in quanto consentono di coordinare cicli ambientali temporalmente esterni (ad es. luce / buio) con i processi biologici e fisiologici interni (ad es. il sonno / veglia). Il disallineamento forzato dei cicli circadiani comportamentali e in soggetti umani, sono stati associati a una maggiore prevalenza di obesità, diabete e malattie cardiovascolari, oltre ad alcuni tipi di cancro e patologie infiammatorie. Le potenzialità dell' approccio microfluidico consente lo studio dinamico sul comportamento circadiano dei tessuti periferici aprendo di una nuova prospettiva nel campo circadiano

Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Entwicklung selektiver Si1-xCx-Prozesse, die eine mechanische Zugspannung im Kanal von NMOS-Transistoren erzeugen, und so durch eine gezielte Änderung der Bandstruktur die Elektronenbeweglichkeit und damit auch die Leistungsfähigkeit der Bauteile erhöhen soll.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die wichtigsten Fragestellungen zum Wachstum der Si1-xCx-Schichten näher beleuchtet. Dabei werden zwei Methoden zum Wachstum der Schichten charakterisiert. Neben einem disilanbasierten UHV-CVD-Verfahren wird ein LP-CVD-Verfahren unter der Verwendung von Trisilan herangezogen. Für beide Prozessvarianten konnten mithilfe einer zyklischen Prozessführung selektive, undotierte und in-situ phosphordotierte Abscheidungen realisiert werden. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Disilanprozesse aufgrund ihrer geringen Wachstumsraten einen hohen Anteil interstitiellen Kohlenstoffs bedingen. Durch FT-IR-Analyse konnte belegt werden, dass sich während des Wachstums Siliziumkarbid-präzipitate bilden, die das epitaktische Wachstum nachhaltig schädigen können. Erweiterte man das Wachstum infolge der Zugabe von German zum ternären System Si1-x-yCxGey (y=0,05…0,07) wurde ein starker Anstieg der Wachstumsraten festgestellt. Die Aktivierungsenergie für das epitaktische Wachstum sinkt durch die Zugabe von German und der substitutionelle Kohlenstoffgehalt kann erhöht werden. Es wird gezeigt, dass German nicht nur für die Unterstützung des Ätzprozesses hilfreich ist, sondern im LP-CVD-Verfahren zur Unterstützung des HCl-basierten Ätzprozesses dienen kann. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt der Arbeit liegt in der Abscheidung und Charakterisierung in-situ phosphor-dotierter Schichten. Es wird nachgewiesen, dass Phosphor die Wachstumsrate erhöht und dass Phosphor und Kohlenstoff in Konkurrenz um substitutionelle Gitterplätze stehen. Phosphor ist außerdem auch die Spezies, für die die größte Anisotropie hinsichtlich des Einbaus auf Si(110) im Vergleich zu Si(001) beobachtet wurde: Je nach Prozessführung wird auf Si(110)-Ebenen nahezu doppelt so viel Phosphor eingebaut wie auf Si(001). Dieser Effekt ist insofern von großer Relevanz, als dass ein steigender Phosphoranteil auch die thermische Stabilität der Schichten herabsetzt. Die Relaxationsvorgänge basieren bei Si1-xCx-Schichten auf Platzwechselvorgängen substitutioneller Kohlenstoffatome zu interstitiellen Silizium-Kohlenstoff-Hanteldefekten unter der Bildung einer Leerstelle. Es wurde ein Modell vorgeschlagen, nach dem Phosphor durch die Entstehung von PV-Komplexen diese Reaktion begünstigt, wodurch die Relaxationsvorgänge beschleunigt werden. Infolge einer dreidimensionalen Atomsondenanalyse kann der Endzustand der Relaxation – die Bildung stöchiometrischen Siliziumkarbids – belegt werden.
In-situ phosphordotierte Si1-xCx-Schichten mit ca. 4*1020 at/cm³ Phosphorgehalt und 1,8 at.% Kohlenstoff wurden erfolgreich in NMOS-Transistoren der 45 nm Generation integriert und mit ebenfalls im Rahmen der Dissertation entwickelten Si:P-Rezepten verglichen. Die höchste Leistungssteigerung von 10 % konnte durch die Kombination aus beiden Prozessen erzielt werden, bei dem auf die spannungserzeugende Si1-xCx-Schicht zur Senkung des Silizidwiderstandes eine Si:P-Kappe aufgebracht wird. Die Einprägung einer Zugspannung in den Transistorkanal wurde mittels Nano beam diffraction nachgewiesen und wurde auf Basis des piezoresistiven Modells mit SiGe-PMOS-Transistoren verglichen.

As tecnologias de Agricultura de Precisão - AP já são adotadas nas lavouras do Brasil, com técnicas cada vez mais produtivas, indispensáveis para garantir a liderança do país na produção agrícola. No entanto, não existem ainda estudos sobre a intensidade do uso das tecnologias de AP no país e dos condicionantes de sua adoção. O desafio central deste trabalho foi, então, investigar o processo de adoção e uso das tecnologias de AP alcançado pela indústria sucroalcooleira no Estado de São Paulo. Para tanto, foram utilizados dados primários, a partir do encaminhamento de questionário a todas as empresas do setor sucroalcooleiro paulista, com o objetivo de se conhecer, não só o grau de adoção e uso das tecnologias de AP, mas também aprofundar a discussão sobre o tema da AP na indústria sucroalcooleira. Assim, foram obtidas informações sobre as características das empresas, as fontes de informação para adoção, os impactos da AP nas empresas e os obstáculos encontrados às práticas de AP. Paralelamente, estimou-se um modelo econométrico lógite para verificar a influência das variáveis estudadas na probabilidade de adoção das tecnologias de AP. As principais conclusões deste trabalho sugerem que a adoção e uso dessas tecnologias trazem resultados positivos para as empresas, como por exemplo, a melhoria no gerenciamento, o aumento da produtividade, a redução dos custos, a minimização dos impactos ambientais e a melhoria da qualidade da cana. A análise econométrica mostrou que a probabilidade de adotar as tecnologias de AP é maior em ordem decrescente de importância, em usinas/destilarias de capital nacional, que fazem parte de um grupo empresarial, de orientação exportadora, de gestão profissional, e que utilizam maior percentual de fontes de financiamento próprio.The technologies of Precision Agriculture - PA - are already a reality in crops throughout Brazil, using more and more productive techniques, crucial to ensure the country as the world leader in agriculture. However, there are not yet studies on the intensity of the use of PA technologies in Brazil and the determiners of their adoption. The main focus of this study was, therefore, to investigate the adoption process and the use of PA technologies in the sugarcane industry in São Paulo state. For that purpose, it was used primary data based upon a questionnaire submitted to all enterprises of the sugarcane sector in the state, aiming to figure out not only the adoption level and use of PA technologies in the sugarcane industry, but also to deepen the discussion about Precision Agriculture, obtaining therefore, more information regarding the characteristics of the enterprises, sources of information for the adoption of PA, the impact of PA technologies on the enterprise and the obstacles faced by the PA practices. In parallel, the econometric model logit was estimated to verify the influence of the variables studied on the probability for the adoption of the PA technologies. The main conclusions of this study suggest that the adoption for these technologies bring results to enterprises, such as improvement of management procedures, increase of productive, cost reduction, minimization of environmental impacts and improvement of sugarcane quality. The econometric analysis showed that the probability to adopt PA technologies is higher in decrescent order of importance in mills/distilleries of national capital, which are part of an export-driven group, of professional management and that use higher percentage of their own resources.

This study examines factors that influence the intent to use and actual use of decision support software (DSS) technology by emergency management officials to facilitate disaster response management. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology popularized by scholars from the field of information sciences (IS) for the private sector is adapted and extended to examine technology use in the public sector, specifically by emergency managers. An e-survey was sent to 1, 452 city and county emergency management officials from FEMA region VI and complete responses obtained from 194 were analyzed. Findings suggest that social influence is the strongest predictor of intent to use DSS technology by emergency managers, unlike private sector studies where performance expectancy was the strongest predictor. Additionally, effort expectancy, collaboration, social vulnerability, professionalism, performance expectancy, and gender explained 40 percent of their intent to use DSS technology. Factors explaining actual use of technology were intent to use technology, having an in house GIS specialist, and age of the emergency manager. This research successfully closes the gap in IS and disaster literature by being the first to focus on factors influencing technology use by emergency managers for decision making in disaster response. It underscores the importance of collaboration not only for post-disaster activities but also as a precursor to better disaster preparedness planning that calls for information sharing and technology acceptance and adoption across partnering jurisdictions.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis describes the conditions that influence technology acquisition when an industry partner is involved. The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge regarding the conditions that affect effective acquisition of technology by collaboration by identifying and describing the relationship between the following variables: key activities and influential factors. The results are drawn from the analysis of eleven case studies involving experiences from different industries including chemicals, oil and gas and biofuels. The research adopts the perspective of an acquiring firm, which is interested in incorporating a new technology into its operations in order to meet a particular business need. Such a business need can be, for example, entering into a new market, meeting key customer requirements or improving operational efficiency. The results indicate that technology acquisition involving an industry partner can be described as a six-stage process where the acquiring firm may or may not get involved in the development of the technology concept. During the process a number of factors can influence the acquisition and implementation of the technology in the acquiring firm’s operations. These factors can be divided into six categories: business alignment, structural match, development management, technology uncertainty, implementation opportunity and contextual factors. The results also suggest that effective acquisition of technology by means of collaboration is achieved by the combination of three conditions: effective partnership management, effective execution of the co-development project and effective transference of the technology to the recipient system in the acquiring firm. The research provides relevant implications for theory and practice. On the one hand, technology acquisition by means of collaboration has been marginally addressed in technology management literature; extant literature has given more attention to organisational modes to acquire technology by collaboration rather than increasing our understanding of the dynamics of technology partnerships. On the other hand, the outcomes offer practitioners an account of the key factors and activities in technology acquisition projects involving an industry partner. These insights are key to systematically managing collaborative projects aimed at acquiring new technologies.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 22-25, 2001 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, NevadaThere are clear signs that data recorders using solid-state and disk-based technologies now represent a serious alternative to conventional linear and rotary tape recorders for a broad spectrum of data capture applications. As the number of RFQs specifying these so-called ‘new technology’ solutions increases, virtually every major manufacturer has responded with announcements of new off-the-shelf products. A NATO technical support team has even been tasked with drafting standards for certain aspects of solid-state and disk recorders. But what has caused this sudden explosion of interest? Strange to say, in almost every case it has been the perceived shortcomings of the new technologies which have forced the issue. For all their advantages, solid-state and disk recorders are essentially only temporary storage devices. To overcome this problem manufacturers have found it necessary to address the total data capture/storage/distribution/archiving scenario – with some interesting results. It is in the ‘data handling’ area therefore that some of the most significant advances are to be found. This Paper offers an overview of some of the new technology solutions now available - RAID (Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks), JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) and FLASH memory recorders. New paradigms for airborne, mobile and laboratory data collection, handling, analysis and archiving are discussed, demonstrating that (for once) the migration path has been carefully thought through, with industry-standard data interfaces, true computer connectivity (Windows and UNIX) and familiar control techniques. It concludes that many users with a keen interest in replacing legacy products for whatever reason can now do so with confidence and minimal disruption to their day-to-day operation while nevertheless gaining access to the important benefits which ‘new technology’ solutions can offer.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis concerns copyright and technology. It investigates their ever-growing dissonance, currently intensified by the processes of digitisation taking place in society at large. If there is a pressing need to reassess/modify copyright law against the backdrop of digital technology, the thesis argues that a prerequisite of this is that it divorces itself from the limitations in the existing copyright paradigm and, accordingly, recognise technology as a quality and condition for both its emergence and subsistence. In contrast to the prevailing tradition of viewing technology as an extrinsic condition affecting copyright, here its intrinsic quality is traced and emphasised. This is accomplished by means of circumventing copyright’s fundamental orienting principle of property and drawing instead on the notion of communication, which in turn enables us to recognise and reconstitute the ever-present intertwinement of copyright and technology. While communication as an approach is not foreign to the copyright discourse, it has rarely been deployed in investigating the relation between copyright and technology. The thesis advances from an understanding of communication focused on the end points and recognises the middle as a prerequisite and an essential element of communication. This shift in view does not only allow recognition of noise as an intrinsic feature of communication but also becomes a methodological tool through which the dissonance of copyright and technology can be ‘heard’ and comprehended. In doing so, the thesis draws on information theory, the work of the French philosopher Michel Serres, media and sound studies. By traversing different fields of study, in the end, the thesis immerses itself into a soundscape, and thus ‘aurality’ becomes a sensible manner for answering the guiding research question of what is the actual dissonance between copyright and technology. Ultimately, it argues that this manner of displacement provides new passages of investigation that go beyond the limitations of copyright’s normativity, and sets a conceptual basis for addressing the issues and re-articulating the relation between copyright and technology.

Development of new technology is critical to the growth and success of technology-driven companies. New technology is generated in a number of ways, one of the most important being the company's own internal research and development department. This thesis examines the transfer of technology developed in an internal R&D group into product development groups across multiple business units of the company. An analysis of the company's documented development process activities and metrics will establish the context in which technology is transferred. The company's organizational structure is a central R&D group that supports two market-focused business units, each with their own technology development group. A series of five case studies tracking technology that was developed in the central R&D group and transferred to the business units will illustrate the way technology development activity occurs in the organization. The R&D organization is structured to support research, applied research, and development activities that drive both incremental and radical innovation, and it is managed to support a balance of short term and long term strategic goals.
(cont.) The case studies highlight the fact that project definition should include attention to the goal the project is intended to achieve, the type of innovation used to achieve that goal, recognition of the phase or maturity of technological research in that area, and how those aspects of the project should shape the development process and plans for communication and collaboration.

Bluetooth is the codename adopted by a consortium of wireless equipment manufacturers that is working toward a low-cost, global standard for wireless communication of data and voice. It will operate in the unlicensed ISM band (industrial, scientific, and medical) with gross transfer rate up to lMbps and it will connect devices within a range of 10 or up to lOOm. The benefits of Bluetooth technology are twofold. First, it enables a user to replace the various cables between devices with a universal short-range radio link. For example, a cellular telephone and a portable computer equipped with the Bluetooth technology can interface without the need for cables. Further, they could interoperate with similarly equipped devices such as printers, fax machines, desktop computers and peripherals, and a host of other digital devices. The second major benefit of the Bluetooth technology is its ability to provide a connection between the ad hoc network and existing data networks. Bluetooth technology is designed for wireless personal area networks (WPANs), which are networks of personal electronic devices in close proximity to each other. Expectations for Bluetooth technology are that it will become a major player in the wireless data communications market, due primarily to its simplicity and its support from large companies, many of whom are integrating the technology into their products. Further, Bluetooth members are encouraging vendors to incorporate the technology into their products by waiving intellectual property royalty fees. That being said, this paper will explore the technical aspects of Bluetooth as well as the strategic rationale behind the founding companies. Since e-commerce might be heavily affected by this technology, especially business-to-consumer and consumer-to-consumer, this paper also explores the impact and possible changes in consumer and merchant behaviors.

This causal and correlational study was designed to extend the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and to test its applicability to Valencia Community College (VCC) Engineering and Technology students as the target user group when investigating the factors influencing their decision to adopt and to utilize VMware as the target technology. In addition to the primary three indigenous factors: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and intention toward utilization, the model was also extended with enjoyment, external control, and computer self-efficacy as antecedents to perceived ease of use. In an attempt to further increase the explanatory power of the model, the Task-Technology Fit constructs (TTF) were included as antecedents to perceived usefulness. The model was also expanded with subjective norms and voluntariness to assess the degree to which social influences affect students decision for adoption and utilization. This study was conducted during the fall term of 2009, using 11 instruments: (1) VMware Tools Functions Instrument; (2) Computer Networking Tasks Characteristics Instrument; (3) Perceived Usefulness Instrument; (4) Voluntariness Instrument; (5) Subjective Norms Instrument; (6) Perceived Enjoyment Instrument; (7) Computer Self-Efficacy Instrument; (8) Perception of External Control Instrument; (9) Perceived Ease of Use Instrument; (10) Intention Instrument; and (11) a Utilization Instrument. The 11 instruments collectively contained 58 items. Additionally, a demographics instrument of six items was included to investigate the influence of age, prior experience with the technology, prior experience in computer networking, academic enrollment status, and employment status on student intentions and behavior with regard to VMware as a network virtualization technology. Data were analyzed using path analysis, regressions, and univariate analysis of variance in SPSS and AMOS for Windows. The results suggest that perceived ease of use was found to be the strongest determinant of student intention. The analysis also suggested that external control, measuring the facilitating conditions (knowledge, resources, etc) necessary for adoption was the highest predictor of perceived ease of use. Consistent with previous studies, perceived ease of use was found to be the strongest predictor of perceived usefulness followed by subjective norms as students continued to use the technology. Even though the integration of the task-technology fit construct was not helpful in explaining the variance in student perceived usefulness of the target technology, it was statistically significant in predicting student perception of ease of use. The study concluded with recommendations to investigate other factors (such as service quality and ease of implementation) that might contribute to explaining the variance in perceived ease of use as the primary driving force in influencing student decision for adoption. A recommendation was also made to modify the task-technology fit construct instruments to improve the articulation and the specificity of the task. The need for further examination of the influence of the instructor on student decision for adoption of a target technology was also emphasized.Ed.D.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedMaintaining an information advantage for the Department of Defense (DoD) and its military departments is critical to national defense objectives and the acquisition of new information technology (IT) is key. The DoD seeks to quickly acquire IT systems that meet requirements and are within budget; however, this goal has been very difficult to achieve given the cumbersome and deliberate process through which IT systems have been acquired. Essentially, the DoDs acquisition process cannot keep pace with the rapid development of IT systems that occurs in the commercial sector. For years, the DoD has relied on a common approach in acquiring different systems and services. This approach has been laced with inefficiencies and inadequacies that have resulted in prolonged schedules as well as increased cost. Currently, the DoD is implementing a new IT acquisition process; however, this new process does not resolve all the issues that have plagued IT acquisition. This study will identify the causes or impeding factors that have prevented the DoD from acquiring new IT systems in a timely manner and will recommend alternative solutions to solving the problems. Ultimately, this thesis contributes to the DoDs efforts to resolve the issues that continue to undermine timely IT acquisition.

This study developed and empirically examined a model to help understand how key individuals in businesses decide on whether or not to buy and utilise technology in the context of managing their obligations in relation to business taxes. In restricting the frame of reference to a taxation context, it enabled a link to be made to individual decision making, as it is ordinarily the case that one lead buyer is evident in the context of tax and technology in organisations. The model was developed from a review of extant literature in the areas of technology acceptance, behavioural intention, and consumer and business buying models. The overall model was built on a framework that has at its core the Augmented Technology Acceptance Model (Taylor & Todd, 1995a). A correspondence between attitude to use of the technology and product quality is theorised, allowing a connection to a wider model of purchase intention. The initial model was developed with thirteen hypotheses, ultimately leading to an examination of intention to buy tax technology. After an initial pilot study, in the main study a questionnaire was designed to capture empirical data for measurements related to the model. Data collected from 125 informants (i.e. senior tax staff in large organisations) about tax technology buying decisions they were currently considering was used to empirically test the model, using Structural Equation Modelling. The low sample size caused a need to simplify the original model to retain statistical power. This had the result of reducing the number of hypotheses to ten. The analysis was performed testing the measurement model and the model fit and thereby investigating its underlying hypotheses. The results supported the key hypotheses and the overall explanatory power of the model in examining intention to buy tax technology was strong. The use of technology acceptance principles as core to helping explain buying intention for tax technology was strongly supported. Only one hypothesis was not supported, relating to a proposed positive relationship between Relationship Quality and Intention to Buy constructs. Potential explanations for this finding with regard to relationship quality were introduced. The general research contributions and implications of the study were also discussed.

Since the fieldâ s inception, Science and Technology Studies (STS) has grappled with the task of creating suitable definitions of the terms â scienceâ and â technology,â but the discourse has become cyclical and unproductive. By focusing on real-world applications of these terms, through a case study of the technology â beatâ at the Chicago Tribune, this research attempts to correct that misstep.
At the Tribune, as in other major American newspapers, technology reporters operate within the business section, whereas science reporters are located within the general news section of the paper. Through personal interviews and an examination of science and technology articles, it became clear that reporters see â scienceâ as pure research, whereas â technologyâ signifies the application of that knowledge toward a specific end. Though science and technology reporters cover similar topics, they do so in distinct ways with disparate goals. Moreover, technology journalism is actually more complex than the reporters recognize, as these articles discuss a variety of themes beyond commercial application, including project funding, administration and even research.
This thesis illustrates that a disconnect exists between STS scholarship and the world of journalism. If STS scholars desire to remain relevant, they must embrace a stronger interaction with the journalism community. Not only should STS welcome more journalists into its fold, through educational programming and increased dialogue, but STS academics must also participate in the journalistic process themselves, by using their STS perspectives to write provocative articles for the general newspaper reader. Readers â and journalists â would benefit from the critical viewpoint that STS offers, and journalism can challenge and invigorate the scholarship in a way that has been lacking in recent years.Master of Science

The intention of this dissertation is to better locate aspects of discourse on technology within the social sciences, especially the discipline of international political economy. To do this, I have focused on the idea of control, a concept which is applicable to both social organization and technological systems.
In the first chapter I develop the concept of control and outline its relationship to existing modes of social analysis. I identify the specific politics of control and discuss the role of electronic information processing and communications technology in social change. In Chapter Two I place the origins of electronic control technology (telegraphy, telephony and radio) within the wider euro-centric but tendentially global liberalinternationalist order dominant during most of the nineteenth century. In Chapter Three I consider the development of electronic control technology, including institutional formation, within the context of US industro-militarist development from around the end of the nineteenth century to 1945. Chapter Four is concerned with a study of the rise to central importance of microelectronics-based control technology in a context of post-war US hegemony. In Chapter Five I examine the construction anew of transnational politico-economic control arrangements dominated by transnational corporations and growing financial market structures, and the role of globally capable telematic networks in this development. Finally, in the last chapter, I attempt to identify and analyse the key characteristics of the emergent new world order, which I describe as cyber-financial, and which I consider to be a synthesis of preceding social control structures.
Aside from Chapter One, the procession of argument is roughly historical, covering around a century and a half, but with specific themes being dominant in each chapter. Methodologically, the dissertation is an attempt to further synthesize existing history and commentary in the light of manifest global change currently underway.

This thesis develops an intersectional, critical analysis of the field of practice known as Civic Tech and highlights other relevant community-organizing and activist practices that utilize technology as a central component. First, I develop critiques of Civic Tech as a dominant technocratic, neoliberal approach to democracy and bureaucracy and trace the history and intellectual genealogy of this specific movement. I then highlight civic technologies outside of the field of Civic Tech that have resulted in more redistributive and democratic outcomes, especially for Black people and other people of color. Finally, I define a research and design practice called Critical Community Technology Pedagogy that is demystificatory, multi-directional, transferable, and constructive, and draws upon examples from the Civic Lab for Environmental Action Research (CLEAR) in Newfoundland, Data DiscoTechs in Detroit, and the Center for Urban Pedagogy in New York City.

As the importance of R&D has been growing in economic growth, the accountability and effectiveness of R&D programs are highly emphasized. Especially, in times of economic downturn, the evaluation of performance in a firm is needed to justify R&D investment. In response, various attempts have been made to improve success rates of R&D projects, gain competitive advantage, and achieve a firm's growth in profitability. In particular, in industries where technological innovation is significant, strategic technology planning and R&D capabilities may be the lead ones in defining the dynamic capabilities of a firm. In addition, technology forecasting (TF) in technology planning is a crucial step to follow before developing technologies/products/processes in need.
In this regard, researchers have an abiding interest in enhancing methods to forecast emerging technology, while practitioners have a considerable interest in selecting appropriate tools to apply in their field for better forecasting results. Nevertheless, so far it is not well documented how appropriately the current research responds to this need. Thus, a thorough review on TF techniques is conducted to help researchers and practitioners capture methodologies in a tangible way and identify the current trends in the TF arena. Moreover, there is still a lack of clear guidance as to where and how particular TF methods are useful in strategic planning based on technology characteristics as well as the nature of industry. The purpose of this study is to enrich the stream of research on TF activities in a firm for practitioners and researchers, a unique context where TF could lead to technological innovation. This research offers a classification of the approaches, and presents technological, industrial, methodological, and organizational aspects of TF methods that are inherent in TF activities. Furthermore, this study provides empirical evidences to support organizational and managerial implications regarding TF activities associated with technology planning in a firm. Research findings in regimes of technological change suggest insights on technological, organizational, and managerial processes within the firm.
On the other hand, research on the effects on business performance of "best practices" of strategic planning, which enable firms to articulate their plans to develop, acquire, and deploy resources for accomplishing firms' financial growth, has so far ignored the roles of strategic technology planning associated with TF. In this regard, this study explores a set of indicators, discusses, and presents the findings from the literature in such a way that they become useful for researchers or managers who are in charge of measuring the R&D performance and business performance from innovation activity. Next, this research tested the hypothetical framework proposed not only to provide a current snapshot of how firms across industries implement best practices in strategic technology planning, but also to improve the effectiveness of strategic planning. The results present the positive linkages between TF, technology planning, and superior business performance. The findings in this research help policy makers, universities, research institutes/national labs, and companies to enhance their decision making process on technology development.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Miniaturization towards the nanoscale is now the trend of technological developments in products and devices for mechanical, optical and electronic applications. Normally, good engineering functional components should have their form and surface tolerances less than one hundredth or even one thousandth of their feature sizes. However the structure fabricated by current nanotechnology can rarely achieve such tolerance ratio in a controllable way. Because of this, the kinematical and dynamical performances of these nano-structured mechanisms are far from ideal. Consequently, this research aims to identify the limit of micro and nano material removal under machining conditions. There are still many fundamental questions which need to be addressed in nanometric machining. Some of them are the following, name; what are the fundamental mechanisms underlying nanomachining processes? What is the limit of machining? What is the minimum depth of cut and how do you evaluate atomic surface roughness from nanomachining simulations? This study attempts to find some answers to the above questions or to point the direction towards the answers. Nanomachining has been modelled using the Molecular Dynamics (MD) method because it has proved to be an effective tool for the prediction and the analysis of these processes at the nanometre scale. Through this investigation, it is identified that the EAM potential is the most appropriate of the 3 potentials commonly used for the modelling of nanomachining of copper with diamond tool. This is because the EAM potential provides the best description of the metallic bonding in the workpiece, also, the cutting forces variation is smallest; the potential and total energies are most stable for the depth of cut considered. Therefore, the EAM potential should be used, rather than LJ and Morse potentials for the modelling of copper and other fcc metals in MD simulations of nanomachining. For potential pairs; it was observed that the tangential cutting force components are considerably affected by the interatomic potential pair used, but they are not greatly affected by whether the tool is rigid or deformable. The total energy of the system on the other hand is much lower when the tool is non rigid than when it is rigid. Various MD simulations have been carried out. Results of the investigation of the minimum depth cut (MDC) nanomachining show the nano material removal phenomena of rubbing, ploughing and cutting. In a copper material removal simulation, ploughing starts from 0.2~0.3nm and the formation of chips starts to occur from the depth of cut thickness of 1.5nm. So it can be suggested that the extreme accuracy attainable or MDC for copper atoms workpiece, machined with extremely sharp diamond tool is around 1.5nm to 3nm. The onset of plasticity for copper atom workpiece machined with extremely sharp diamond tool is around 0.1nm ~ 0.3nm. In the investigation of the effect of various tool ends on the initiation of the phenomena of rubbing and ploughing; all the tools clearly show the phenomena of rubbing and ploughing in the depth of cut range of 0.05 to 0.5 nm. The tool with the pointed end has the lowest average cutting force and the tool with the flat end has the highest average cutting force. It is important to note that in nanomachining the tool with sharpest end may not necessarily cause the greatest material removal! The different tool ends may be suitable for different machining applications. On the velocity variation in nanomachining simulations, it can be concluded that the interatomic potentials readily affect the simulation results, whereas the use of rigid and non-rigid tools doesn’t show appreciable difference. Also, it was observed that the tangential and the normal cutting force components relatively increase with increase in velocity. The atomic surface roughness evaluation is affected by the choice of the interatomic potentials used for the simulation.

We propose a biochemically plausible mechanism for constructing digital logic signals and gates of significant complexity within living cells. These mechanisms rely largely on co-opting existing biochemical machinery and binding proteins found naturally within the cell, replacing difficult protein engineering problems with more straightforward engineering of novel combinations of gene control sequences and gene coding regions. The resulting logic technology, although slow, allows us to engineer the chemical behavior of cells for use as sensors and effectors. One promising use of such technology is the control of fabrication processes at the molecular scale.DARPA/ONR Ultrascale Computing Program under contract N00014-96-1-1228 and by the DARPA Embedded Computing Program under contract DABT63-95-C130.

This thesis concerns the acquisition of newly developed production
equipment in factories. Types of Manufacturing Technology Acquisition
(MTA) can range from in-house development through to outright purchase
from a supplier. MTA projects often fail because the new equipment fails to
perform well enough or the expected financial benefits are not achieved.
The purpose of this research has been to find out how to select the right
manufacturing technology acquisition projects, and having chosen them,
how to make them successful.
Very little guidance on this subject was found in the literature. Therefore the
approach taken was to adapt techniques widely used in the much more
deeply researched field of New Product Development (NPD). The Success
Factor method was applied by conducting interviews with managers in a
number of factories to develop lists of factors thought to affect success or
failure in their MTA projects. The Portfolio method from NPD was adapted
to the case of managing a total MT`A budget, and developed through its use
in three annual cycles of equipment acquisition in the researcher's Company.
A formula for Expected Commercial Value in NPD was modified to
become Expected Manufacturing Benefit, and tried out in practice. An
important consideration in manufacturing equipment projects was
discovered to be the replication of projects which had proved successful,
and ways to incorporate this factor into the project selection procedure were
developed. A detailed case study of a single project was carried out, which
verified the validity of the findings at the level of a single project. This case
study also revealed the considerable impact that corporate strategic events
can have on technology acquisitions. This led to a case study on corporate
strategy in the Company being carried out.
Finally the findings were brought together to present a complete model for
managing MTA.

Techno-strategic integration is the process through which militaries integrate technological advances into a strategy that maximizes their advantages. While sheer military might is a function of a variety of factors, technology has taken center stage in the past two centuries. The industrial revolution changed the way war was fought, and the changes had wide ranging effects. The calamity of the First World War was in some ways a failure to techno-strategically integrate industrial age technology. The history of military technology and strategy illustrates many obstacles to the integration of the two. This thesis shows that successful techno-strategic integration is often highly correlated with effective execution of war and improvement of national security. On the other hand, enduring organizational preferences, inter-service rivalry, and commercial self-interest have often undermined new techno-strategic possibilities. However, with the growth and increasing capability of information age technology, this research shows growing indications that the techno-strategic paradigm of the industrial age is shifting. The United States is positioned to capitalize on its lead in informational innovations, and integrating technologies into new concepts of operations. If managed successfully, the United States might emerge with a leaner, more agile force that can keep its strategic competitors at bay.
