This book was released on 2007 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'une des causes qui favorise les incendies de grande envergure est le manque de précision de l'alerte. En effet, les services de secours avouent avoir besoin d'outils capables de détecter et de préciser le siège d'un feu. Une nouvelle génération d'outil est apparue : les réseaux de capteurs sans fil. Dans une application de surveillance environnementale, ces réseaux de capteurs, possédant une architecture décentralisée et déployés dans une zone, doivent transmettre leurs informations, par une communication sans fil de proche en proche (ou multisauts), à une station de base. Pour cette communication multisauts, les techniques de routage s'attachent à réaliser une transmission efficace des données, tout en essayant d'économiser les ressources énergétiques. Dans le cadre de la problématique de lutte contre les feux de forêt, les réseaux de capteurs semblent capables d'aider les services de secours. Cependan, nous identifions trois axes de reflexion auxquels il faut fournir des réponses : ces réseaux sont-ils capables de prévoir, détecter et suivre un feu ? Pour répondre à ces questions, les outils de simulation existants s'avèrent incomplets ou inutilisables dans le cadre de notre étude. Dans cette dissertation, nous introduisons une nouvelle application, DEVS-WSN, basée sur une description à l'aide du formalisme DEVS. Elle permet d'étudier les performances et les stratégies de déploiement des réseaux de capteurs sans fil dans un feu. De plus, nous présentons un nouvel algorithme de routage VOX, qui améliore l'économie d'énergie et par conséquent augmente la durée de vie du réseau dans le contexte particulier de phénomènes destructeurs. Nous complétons cette étude théorique par une expérimentation en feu réel. Tous ces travaux avancent les conditions d'utilisation d'un réseau de capteurs sans fil dans la problématique des feux de forêt

This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les reseaux de capteurs sans fil permettent de repondre aux besoins de nombreuses applications de surveillance. Toutefois, les applications deployees sur ces reseaux ont souvent des besoins varies de qualites de service, et il est difficile pour une seule pile protocolaire de repondre a ces besoins. Dans ce livre, nous presentons donc les architectures a multiples piles protocolaires pour les reseaux de capteurs sans fil. Nous nous interessons aux interactions entre ces piles protocolaires, et nous introduisons les notions d'architectures multi-piles locales (le choix de la pile a utiliser est decide localement par chaque n ud) et globales (le choix de la pile a utiliser depend d'un evenement exterieur au reseau). Nous nous concentrons ensuite sur les problemes de boucles de routage qui peuvent survenir, sur les proprietes des protocoles de routage qui induisent (ou non) ces boucles, et sur la maniere de reduire ces boucles ou leur impact."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les réseaux de capteurs sans fils sont de plus en plus utilisés dans des applications de surveillance de grands systèmes (feux de forêt, gaz dans les galeries minières, éthologie, ...). Une caractéristique de ces applications est que la topologie du réseau va être dynamique : soit les capteurs sont géographiquement mobiles (dispersion d'une nappe de pétrole), soit les conditions environnementales évoluent et modifient les capacités de communication des capteurs entre eux. Aussi, d'un système connexe, on peut évoluer vers un système clustérisé qui présente une rupture de la connectivité globale, et donc du système d'information. Une solution consiste à utiliser un (ou des) collecteur(s) des mesures (par exemple un robot mobile) qui va rétablir une connectivité discrète pour reconstituer à des échéances fixes un système d'information cohérent. Nous avons proposé un algorithme de clustering du réseau de capteurs sans fils adapté à la dynamique de sa topologie. La métrique choisie prend en compte la densité et la mobilité des noeuds, ainsi que leur énergie résiduelle. Ensuite, nous avons conçu un protocole de couche session permettant au collecteur de reconstruire le contexte de communication avec les clusters précédemment visités, sachant qu'ils ont pu évoluer en nombre, dispersion, fusion, ... Pour ce faire, il faut générer dynamiquement une trajectoire optimale du collecteur, en se basant sur un modèle d'estimation de la topologie, en prenant en compte les exigences applicatives (fréquence et volume des informations remontées). Pour la validation de l'algorithme de clustering et du protocole de couche session proposés, nous avons défini un modèle de noeud capteur que nous avons intégré à l'environnement de simulation Opnet.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'objectif de la thèse est d'évaluer la fiabilité des réseaux de capteurs (WSN) en milieu naturel. L'évaluation prend en compte les composants physiques des nœuds de capteurs, les cellules photovoltaïques éventuelles (PV), les batteries rechargeables ou non, les protocoles de communications et d'échange de données ainsi que les éléments nécessaires pour une détection efficace, en particulier les feux de forêt. L'étude traite d'abord du fonctionnement du réseau de capteur dans la nature en prenant en compte sa consommation d'énergie et les défaillances physiques et fonctionnelles pour évaluer sa fiabilité. Puis, la fiabilité est comparée entre un réseau sans PV (WSN) et avec PV (PV-WSN) dans des conditions d'échange de données difficiles. Enfin, l'évaluation de la fiabilité des PV-WSN est effectuée dans le cadre de la détection et de la propagation des feux de forêts avec les mêmes conditions d'échange de données. Les principales hypothèses considérées sont : des distributions de capteurs aléatoires dans des réseaux avec un seul nœud « sink », des nœuds identiques, l'affaiblissement du signal radio dû aux obstacles naturels, une propagation de feu uniforme et elliptique, une végétation homogène, une perte possible de paquets de données ainsi que l'utilisation du protocole de routage « Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) ». Un simulateur a été développé pour effectuer les différentes études. Les résultats obtenus montrent l'importance des défaillances physiques pour l'évaluation de la fiabilité et pour la prolongation de la durée de vie des WSN et PV-WSN.
Download or read book Building an Emergency Plan written by and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2000-02-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building an Emergency Plan provides a step-by-step guide that a cultural institution can follow to develop its own emergency preparedness and response strategy. This workbook is divided into three parts that address the three groups generally responsible for developing and implementing emergency procedures—institution directors, emergency preparedness managers, and departmental team leaders—and discuss the role each should play in devising and maintaining an effective emergency plan. Several chapters detail the practical aspects of communication, training, and forming teams to handle the safety of staff and visitors, collections, buildings, and records. Emergencies covered include natural events such as earthquakes or floods, as well as human-caused emergencies, such as fires that occur during renovation. Examples from the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, the Museo de Arte Popular Americano in Chile, the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut, and the Seattle Art Museum show how cultural institutions have prepared for emergencies relevant to their sites, collections, and regions.

Download or read book Social Media in Industrial China written by Xinyuan Wang and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life outside the mobile phone is unbearable.’ Lily, 19, factory worker. Described as the biggest migration in human history, an estimated 250 million Chinese people have left their villages in recent decades to live and work in urban areas. Xinyuan Wang spent 15 months living among a community of these migrants in a small factory town in southeast China to track their use of social media. It was here she witnessed a second migration taking place: a movement from offline to online. As Wang argues, this is not simply a convenient analogy but represents the convergence of two phenomena as profound and consequential as each other, where the online world now provides a home for the migrant workers who feel otherwise ‘homeless’. Wang’s fascinating study explores the full range of preconceptions commonly held about Chinese people – their relationship with education, with family, with politics, with ‘home’ – and argues why, for this vast population, it is time to reassess what we think we know about contemporary China and the evolving role of social media.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once treated as the absence of knowledge, ignorance today has become a highly influential topic in its own right, commanding growing attention across the natural and social sciences where a wide range of scholars have begun to explore the social life and political issues involved in the distribution and strategic use of not knowing. The field is growing fast and this handbook reflects this interdisciplinary field of study by drawing contributions from economics, sociology, history, philosophy, cultural studies, anthropology, feminist studies, and related fields in order to serve as a seminal guide to the political, legal and social uses of ignorance in social and political life.

Download or read book Unpacking IKEA written by Pauline Garvey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents the first anthropological ethnography of Ikea consumption and goes to the heart of understanding the unique and at times frantic popularity of this one iconic transnational store. Based on a year of participant observation in Stockholm’s Kungens Kurva store – the largest in the world - this book places the retailer squarely within the realm of the home-building efforts of individuals in Stockholm and to a lesser degree in Dublin. Ikea, the world’s largest retailer and one of its most interesting, is the focus of intense popular fascination internationally, yet is rarely subject to in-depth anthropological inquiry. In Unpacking Ikea, Garvey explores why Ikea is never ‘just a store’ for its customers, and questions why it is described in terms of a cultural package, as everyday and classless. Using in-depth interviews with householders over several years, this ethnographic study follows the furniture from the Ikea store outwards to probe what people actually take home with them.

Download or read book Protected Area Management written by Barbara Sladonja and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-08-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protected areas are at the base of the most national and international conservation strategies. Due to the many unpredictable elements in ecology matters, each protected area requires a case-specific set of guidelines but a common issue is how to cope with human interaction. The management of protected areas is replete with challenges and the only way to gain understanding and achieve greater management possibilities is to exchange experiences and knowledge. Environmental managers are aware of that and together with scientists are looking for more modern and better solutions, both with respect to natural resources and human interactions in many issues regarding nature protection. This publication presents reviews and research results on protected areas management, as well as 12 case studies derived from around the world with the aim of improving management effectiveness of the protected areas.
Download or read book Social Media in an English Village written by Daniel Miller and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel Miller spent 18 months undertaking an ethnographic study with the residents of an English village, tracking their use of the different social media platforms. Following his study, he argues that a focus on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram does little to explain what we post on social media. Instead, the key to understanding how people in an English village use social media is to appreciate just how ‘English’ their usage has become. He introduces the ‘Goldilocks Strategy’: how villagers use social media to calibrate precise levels of interaction ensuring that each relationship is neither too cold nor too hot, but ‘just right’.
Download or read book National cyber security framework manual written by Alexander Klimburg and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What, exactly, is 'National Cyber Security'? The rise of cyberspace as a field of human endeavour is probably nothing less than one of the most significant developments in world history. Cyberspace already directly impacts every facet of human existence including economic, social, cultural and political developments, and the rate of change is not likely to stop anytime soon. However, the socio-political answers to the questions posed by the rise of cyberspace often significantly lag behind the rate of technological change. One of the fields most challenged by this development is that of 'national security'. The National Cyber Security Framework Manual provides detailed background information and in-depth theoretical frameworks to help the reader understand the various facets of National Cyber Security, according to different levels of public policy formulation. The four levels of government--political, strategic, operational and tactical/technical--each have their own perspectives on National Cyber Security, and each is addressed in individual sections within the Manual. Additionally, the Manual gives examples of relevant institutions in National Cyber Security, from top-level policy coordination bodies down to cyber crisis management structures and similar institutions."--Page 4 of cover.
