Are the benefits derived from ICT based reference and information service worth the financial and other commitments devoted to it? In an attempt to answer this, this study delved into finding out the perceived benefits; the rational for ICT based reference services in Nigerian university libraries. The main objectives were to find out the purposes for using ICT facilities in reference services delivery and the perceived benefits derived from using ICT resources in reference and information services. Being a survey, questionnaire was used to collect data from the librarians of twelve (12) universities; two (2) each sampled from the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Data was analyzed using frequencies, mean scores and standard deviations. ANOVA statistical analysis was used to test the hypothesis of no significance difference in the benefits derived from ICT based reference services using p-value of 0.05 to calculate the level of significance. Findings showed that librarians and library users made use of ICT facilities for different reference purposes especially to obtain information they need using the internet. Other reference needs for which patrons used the ICT facilities included: - access to current e-books and e - journals, user education and access to global information in other libraries. Provision of current awareness services (CAS) and selective dissemination of information services (SDI), on-line searching using workstations in the library, provision of on-line public access catalogue (OPAC) services, keeping statistics of users of the reference section and compilation of bibliographies. Further findings showed that the librarians and library users derive a lot of benefits from their use of ICT facilities in reference services. The results showed that easy retrieval and dissemination of information to patrons were ranked highest by the librarians amongst others.

무선 센서 네트워크에서는 질의 분배(dissemination)나 이벤트 광고를 위해 플러딩이 요구된다. Simple(또는 blind) 플러딩은 폭주(implosion) 문제와 겹침(overlap) 문제를 야기하며, 따라서 simple 플러딩은 센서 네트워크의 수명을 감소시킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 플러딩 오버헤드를 줄이기 위해 플러딩 오버레이 구조(Flooding Overlay Structure; FOS)를 제안한다. 두 종류의 FOS 기법인 중앙형 FOS(Centralized FOS; CFOS)와 분산형 FOS(Distributed FOS; DFOS)를 제안하며, CFOS에서는 싱크가 네트워크 토폴로지 정보를 수집해서 그 정보를 기반으로 포워딩 노드를 선택하는 반면, DFOS에서는 각 센서 노드가 자신의 로컬 정보를 기반으로 자신이 브로드캐스트 패킷의 포워딩에 참여할지 여부를 결정한다. 제안한 FOS 기법들의 성능 분석을 위해 NS-2 기반의 시뮬레이션을 수행했으며, FOS 기법들과 simple 플러딩 및 gossiping의 성능을 비교했다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안한 FOS 기법들이 네트워크 수명 측면에서 simple 플러딩보다, 데이터 전달율 측면에서 gossiping보다 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

센서네트워크에서 이동하면서 데이터를 수집하는 모바일 싱크(Mobile Sink)는 유비쿼터스 환경에서 사건들에 대한 실시간 처리에는 적합하지만 많은 문제점을 지니고 있다. 특히 네트워크상에서 이동하는 모바일 싱크로 어떻게 데이터를 전송할 것인가에 대한 의문은 무선 센서 노드들의 효율적 운영 측면에서 중요한 문제가 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 모바일 싱크를 위한 새로운 데이터 전송 기법인 DHA를 제안한다. DHA 방법은 홈에이전트 와 액세스 노드의 개념을 사용하여 최소한의 비용으로 모바일 싱크에게 신뢰성 있고 효과적인 데이터 전송을 수행할 수 있다. 제안된 기법에서는 모바일 싱크의 이동 정보는 모든 센서 노드들 대신 홈에이전트와 액세스노드에게만 통보한다. 무선 센서 노드들에서 수집된 데이터들은 고정된 홈에이젼트로 전송하며, 홈에이전트가 이들 데이터를 모바일 싱크로 전송한다. 제안된 방법은 무선망에서 발생하는 데이터 패킷들의 충돌 현상을 감소시킬 수 있으므로 모바일 싱크에 전달되는 패킷 수신 성공률을 향상시킨다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 기법은 무선 센서 네트워크내 에서 브로드캐스트 패킷수를 감소시키며 그 결과 데이터 전송 및 수신에 위하여 소모되는 에너지를 감소시킴을 보인다. 이런 효과는 배터리로 동작하는 무선 센서 네트워크의 전체적인 수명 연장에 기여한다.

Background: Cancer is the fourth leading cause of death in Sabah Malaysia with a reported age-standardized incidence rate was 104.9 per 100,000 in 2007. The incidence rate depends on non-mandatory notification in the registry. Under-reporting will provide the false picture of cancer control program effectiveness. The present study was to evaluate the performance of the cancer registry system in terms of representativeness, data quality, simplicity, acceptability and timeliness and provision of recommendations for improvement. Materials and Methods: The evaluation was conducted among key informants in the National Cancer Registry (NCR) and reporting facilities from Feb-May 2012 and was based on US CDC guidelines. Representativeness was assessed by matching cancer case in the Health Information System (HIS) and state pathology records with those in NCR. Data quality was measured through case finding and re-abstracting of medical records by independent auditors. The re-abstracting portion comprised 15 data items. Self-administered questionnaires were used to assess simplicity and acceptability. Timeliness was measured from date of diagnosis to date of notification received and data dissemination. Results: Of 4613 cancer cases reported in HIS, 83.3% were matched with cancer registry. In the state pathology centre, 99.8% was notified to registry. Duplication of notification was 3%. Data completeness calculated for 104 samples was 63.4%. Registrars perceived simplicity in coding diagnosis as moderate. Notification process was moderately acceptable. Median duration of interval 1 was 5.7 months. Conclusions: The performances of registry's attributes are fairly positive in terms of simplicity, case reporting sensitivity, and predictive value positive. It is moderately acceptable, data completeness and inflexible. The usefulness of registry is the area of concern to achieve registry objectives. Timeliness of reporting is within international standard, whereas timeliness to data dissemination was longer up to 4 years. Integration between existing HIS and national registration department will improve data quality.

This article investigates the distributed data storage problem in the space information network (SIN) using distributed fountain codes. Since space nodes in the SIN are resource-limited, in order to reduce energy consumption while improving the storage reliability, an efficient distributed storage based on fountain codes and probabilistic broadcasting (DSFPB) strategy is proposed. In the proposed strategy, source packets are disseminated among the entire network according to probabilistic broadcasting (PBcast), and the final degree distribution is close to the desired robust soliton distribution (RSD), this is benefited from the appropriate packets encoding procedure of the proposed strategy. As presented by the analysis and simulations, the total cost of data dissemination is greatly reduced compared with existing representative strategies, while improving the decoding performance.

As wireless sensor network are being deployed in a wide variety of application areas, the number of sensor nodes in a sensor filed becomes larger and larger. In the past, ISP (In-System Programming) method have been generally used for code update but the large number of sensor nodes requires a new code update method called network reprogramming. There are many challenging issues for network reprogramming since it can make an impact on the network lifetime. In this paper, a new sender selection scheme for network reprogramming protocol is proposed to decrease energy consumption for code update by minimizing overlapped area between sender nodes and reducing data contention. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can reduce the amount of message traffic and the overall data transmission time.

The purpose of this study was to examine the structural relationship among organizational justice, athlete satisfaction, team commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior toward college athletes. To achieve this purpose, this study employed a convenience sampling method via a questionnaire dissemination. A total of 285 responses were collected from college athletes. Among those, 21 responses were excluded as they were not completed, leaving 264 usable data. The data was computed in SPSS 28.0 and AMOS 28.0, and analyzed with correlation analysis, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling analysis. Overall, organizational justice had a positive influence on athlete satisfaction, team commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior. Athlete satisfaction had a positive influence on team commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. However, there was no relationship between team commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. These findings provided empirical foundational data on the impact of organizational justice on psychological and behavioral outcomes and the overall efficiency and effectiveness of organizations, with a focus on college athletes who played a central role in the context of college sports setting.

방송 기반의 데이터 전파는 모바일 컴퓨팅 환경에서 보편적으로 받아들여지는 통신 방식이다. 그러나 많은 데이터를 방송해야 할 경우에 방송 채널의 순차성으로 인하여 원하는 데이터를 수신하기까지의 예상 지연시간이 증가한다. 이 대기시간을 줄이기 위하여 본 논문은 다중 채널을 통하여 데이터를 방송하는 문제를 연구한다. 기존의 기법들은 각 채널의 평형 방송을 가정하고 데이터들을 액세스 확률에 근거하여 분할하고 다중 채널에 할당한다. 만일 동일 채널에 할당된 데이터들도 그들의 액세스 확률에 근거하여 방송빈도를 다르게 한다면 성능은 더 향상될 것이다. 이와 같은 관점에서 본 논문은 동일 채널에 할당된 데이터들의 액세스 확률의 차이를 방송 스케줄에 반영할 수 있는 두 단계 동적프로그래밍 기법으로 명명된 새로운 방송 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다.

This paper comes out with the study on sensing data collection strategy in a Software-Defined Mobile Edge vehicular networking. The two cooperative data dissemination are Direct Vehicular cloud mode and edge cell trajectory prediction decision mode. In direct vehicular cloud, the vehicle observe its neighboring vehicles and sets up vehicular cloud for cooperative sensing data collection, the data collection output can be transmitted from vehicles participating in the cooperative sensing data collection computation to the vehicle on which the sensing data collection request originate through V2V communication. The vehicle on which computation originate will reassemble the computation out-put and send to the closest RSU. The SDMEVN (Software Defined Mobile Edge Vehicular Network) Controller determines how much effort the sensing data collection request requires and calculates the number of RSUs required to support coverage of one RSU to the other. We set up a simulation scenario based on realistic traffic and communication features and demonstrate the scalability of the proposed solution.
