From the Paper
"Wireless technologies are becoming incredibly common. Convenience-conscious consumers like the lack of wires, although they dislike short battery lives and unexplainable hardware failures caused by jammed radio frequencies."
"Bandwidth is a primary consideration where wireless protocols are concerned. The upcoming 802.11n, capable of actual throughput rates of over 200Mb/s, is capable of streaming high-definition video and audio. This development may be the final development that allows the entertainment industry to shift to wireless. WLAN is the obvious leader in this area."
"Range is another important factor. Although it is nice to be able to walk around the house with a laptop without losing signal, the real range demand is for cellular devices. Because cellular phones do not require high-bandwidths, 3G has been very serviceable with ranges over a kilometer."

From the Paper
"Apple Computer is also passionate about staying vertically integrated as both a manufacturer and retailer. The company consistently has relied on this strategy to both remain independent of external forces that could disrupt their value chains, but also because it gives much greater visibility into costs and profits. Apple's vertical integration also provides for excellent control over software and hardware development from design through manufacturing. This vertical integration enables strong cross-selling opportunities for new software and computer peripherals, as each product seamlessly interfaces with existing company technology, according to DataMonitor (2005). The addition of Apple retail stores beginning in 2001 extended this integration to the point-of-purchase, diminishing reliance on third-party vendors unfamiliar with Apple's unique technological and brand attributes according to DataMonitor."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer first points out that errors in a network system can result in serious financial problems for a company. The writer then explains that this has led to an increased demand for products such as magnetic tape backup, recording systems, UPS and fault tolerance systems that help in protecting the company's network systems against data loss. The writer also notes that fault tolerant devices are also called mirroring products since they work on redundancy by providing identical copies of data and program files. The writer concludes that ,while fault tolerance systems are needed in order to avoid potential loss of data and revenues, there are some drawbacks attached to their implementation, such as cost.
From the Paper
"While these technologies are standard, there are some specialized fault-tolerant products such as Novell's System Fault Tolerant (SFT) NetWare are not that well understood and hence not used that often. Fault tolerant devices are also called mirroring products since they work on redundancy by providing making identical copies of data and program files. The fault tolerant devices make use of the server and the hard disk to mirror files and each of these files has the exact same formatting and content as the original copy."
"Fault tolerant technologies help in providing security to a large extent. This kind of security is more protective than simple back up or data recovery system. A fault tolerant network is not the same thing as a fault resilient system."

Outline:
Introduction
Purpose of the Study
Hypothesis
Discussion Through Literature
Collide or Coincide
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The first indicator that PACS dovetails with HIPAA is the need for passwords and various codes to get into the system and maneuver around its components. When PACS is first installed there is a training period in which those who will be working with the medical imaging department will be trained in how to use passwords and codes to open and enter the system. In addition, many hospitals and other medical facilities have opted to change and rotate passwords on a frequent basis thereby reducing even further the chance that the information contained within the storage area of the system will be accessible by a hacker.

Abstract
This paper discusses the so-called "low carb craze", which maintains that a diet low in carbohydrates and high in proteins as well as the interrelated "Atkins phenomenon" (the Atkins Diet, which advocates the low carb/high protein approach) is most effective in dieting. This paper discusses various facets of these issues in an effort to better understand the impact of this form of diet. It also looks at the role that technology and science can play in the food industry.
Table of Contents:
Abstract
The Central Issue at Hand
Societal Trends That Contribute to "The Craze"
Scientific Understanding Relevant to the Issue
Impact of Low Carb on the Future Food Supply and How the Supply Can be Managed
Can Technology Help in this Case?
Conclusions
From the Paper
"If the assumption is made, for the sake of discussion, that low carb diets, for better or worse, become the norm in the 21st century, there are definite outcomes that the international food supply can expect. Generally, the demand for grains, rice, certain fruits and vegetables will surely decrease noticeably, because simply put, people will not be consuming and therefore not buying them (Cetron, et al, 2005). Conversely, the demand for animal-based products such as raw and processed meats, eggs, cheese and other dairy products will skyrocket.
Keeping this supply/demand curve in mind, it is reasonable to assume that if the demand for animal products increases and agricultural products decreases, that it will actually even out as agricultural products are needed to raise and feed the animals that will be "processed" as food."

"Digital medical imaging has several impacts on current healthcare services. Today, DIACOM is the ubiquitous standard in radiology and imaging industry for the exchange and management of images and image related information. Currently, in addition to the most basic DIACOM service, image transmission, a number of advanced services also exist. There is a DIACOM image archive service that allows images to be searched in a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) by certain patient information, such as date the images were created and modality. These pictures are downloadable from the archive. DIACOM also offers a print service that allows for access to laser cameras or printers over a network so that multiple modalities and workstations can share printers. Another advanced service is a DIACOM modality worklist service that facilitates an automatically downloadable up-to-date worklist that includes the patient demographic data from the information system to the modality."

Abstract
This paper discusses the role of informatics or ICTs in the field of nursing as a medical profession. The researcher posits that, for an ideal and efficient nursing informatics operation, two important objectives must be met: an increase in the efficiency of handling healthcare servicing to patients and an increase in the potential of getting nurses involved in research and studies. The paper discusses these objectives in relation to the implementation of an ideal informatics system in the workplace setting among nursing professionals.
From the Paper
"The introduction of a database system, then, would automatically quantify patient cases that can become potential data or information that nurses could use for their research on specific topics or areas relevant and significant to the improvement of nursing science. The ease of collecting data/information about nursing and its application in the medical field is an important advantage that an efficient database system can provide to healthcare professionals like nurses. Another potential that nursing informatics can provide for nurses is the determination of "nursing problems, interventions, and outcomes in a standardized format to be stored in administrative and clinical data repositories" (Swan, 2004:330). With these efficiencies in terms of storing and retrieving data and patient cases both for research and administrative uses, informatics or the establishment of a database system in the medical workplace will help pave the way for the improvement of quality nursing care and healthcare service, not to mention the improvement in nurses' skills and knowledge in the field of nursing science and research."

Outline:
Executive Summary
Statement of the Problem
Findings
Defining Enterprise Content Management
Structuring Enterprise Content is the First Step to Knowledge Management
Retaining the Knowledge to Overcome "Knowledge Walkouts"
Knowledge Management for Many Organizations: Use It Or Lose It
Knowledge for the New Workforce
New Technology for the New Generation
Conclusions and Recommendations
From the Paper
"The fact that there are organizations whose knowledge management systems are best practices for their given industry, and have processes in place for capturing and retaining excellent components of their knowledge are still the fact that it must be used to be effective according to Gartner (2006). Based on "the last mile" of knowledge management so to speak being these processes of selectively applying the content to specific business strategies and challenges, the indexing, search, and retrieval of knowledge in these repositories becomes a completely separate issue. Once in the repository, there's little guarantee that the valuable knowledge ever emerges again. In fact, it's not valuable at all without a thorough consideration for the way new workers will access it and put it to use. Getting workers to change how they do their jobs is also a critical aspect of capturing content, according to The Hard Side of Change Management (2005). "

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This three page paper presents a discussion about the downloading of music off of the Internet. The writer argues that it has a tremendous impact on society and the music industry by decreasing profits to the musicians and music centers. It discusses the ethical implications of downloading music for free and discusses laws that are necessary to prevent this.
From the Paper
"Why should artists continue to write new songs, perform on stage and put them to cd if they are not going to be paid for their efforts? Would you go to work if at the end of the week you didn't get a paycheck? Downloading music instead of paying for the cd or privilege will have long reaching affects on society. It will discourage artists from producing new material and it will teach future generations that stealing is okay as long as one doesn't get caught. Both of these options have negative impacts on society. "In a period of lackluster sales, illegal downloading isn't the only factor affecting the depressed music industry. Disgruntled consumers have contributed significantly to the decline in retail music sales. Retail music sales, valued at $12.5 billion in 2005, are predicted to fall to $10.5 billion by 2010, according to a recent Mintel report (Spotlight, 2006).""
