Google Earth – användbart fågelperspektiv eller bara en fluga? : En didaktisk uppsats om digitala och analoga undervisningsmetoder inom gymnasiegeografiThorn-Andersen, David January 2010 (has links)
Bakom uppsatsen finns ett genuint intresse för kartmedier samt funderingen om kartan genomgår en evolution till att bli ett digitalt och interaktivt medium. I aktuella styrdokument för gymnasiegeografin framgår att såväl kartor som GIS skall finnas med i undervisningen, motiveringen är dock bristfällig. I syftet väcktes därför frågor om vilka belägg som fanns för digitala undervisningsmetoder inom geografi? Syftet kondenserades till frågeställningarna: Vad skrivs i litteraturen om digitalt lärande i geografi i allmänhet? Vad skrivs i litteraturen om att använda digitala kartor och programmet Google Earth i undervisningen i synnerhet? Hur svenska geografilärare ser på samt i vilken omfattning de använder digitala kartmedier? För att besvara frågorna genomfördes en litteraturstudie samt en enkätundersökning. Litteraturstudieresultatet visade främst två saker. För det första att valet av digitala eller analoga undervisningsmetoder har liten betydelse för inlärning av grundläggande kunskaper. För det andra ifrågasattes användandet av alltför avancerade digitala kartmedier. Enkätundersökningen visade att väggkartan är det kartmedium som används mest bland respondenterna. Slutsatsen var att resultatet inte gett något svar om vilken metod som är bäst för inlärningen men att enklare digitala applikationer, såsom Google Earth, kan bidra till en förbättrad undervisning om de används på ett ändamålsenligt sätt.

Decrypting Bitcoin Prices and Adoption Rates using Google SearchPuri, Varun 01 January 2016 (has links)
In this paper, I analyze Bitcoin price formation and adoption rates at a global and national level. In determining Bitcoin prices, I consider contemporaneous and lagged values of traditional determinants of currencies, such as inflation and industrial production, and digital currency specific factors, primarily public interest. Using monthly time-series data across five years (2011 – 2016), I find that global public interest in Bitcoin, measured by Google searches for the keyword ‘Bitcoin,’ has a positive and significant impact on Bitcoin prices. I extend the analysis to a country level by employing a proxy for adoption rates, represented by the number of local Bitcoin client downloads, which is a useful predictor of prices. I examine pooled data across 12 countries to show that searches for ‘Bitcoin’ can be used to predict adoption rates and, consequently, prices. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first academic article to study Bitcoin usage at a national level. I find that contemporaneous values of traditionally used macroeconomic determinants of currency prices, except inflation, do not have a significant impact on Bitcoin prices.

Mapping Mueller : a post occupancy evaluation of transportation choices in a new urbanist community in Austin, TexasTepper, Rachel Cathryn 03 October 2014 (has links)
The 711-acre Mueller development is located just three miles northeast of downtown on the former site of the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport. Planned as one of Austin’s major transit-oriented New Urbanist developments, Mueller contains a pattern of pedestrian and bike friendly streets to encourage a range of transportation options for residents and visitors. Mueller is 30% complete and provides housing and jobs to over 3000 residents and 3000 employees. This professional report seeks to understand how current residents, employees, and visitors use the bike lanes, sidewalks, and roads in the Mueller community. To evaluate the transportation infrastructure, the author designed and coded a custom Google Maps survey that asked residents to draw common routes, points of interest, and points of concern related to their transportation choices. Field observations were conducted to verify and triangulate the information reported in the online survey. This study investigates whether the transportation principles for the development are or are not achieved by comparing the expressed principles of the development with the actual behavior reported and exhibited by frequent users. / text

City Mobility Model with Google Earth VisualizationAndersson, Henrik, Oreland, Peter January 2007 (has links)
<p>Mobile Ad Hoc Networks are flexible, self configuring networks that do not need a fixed infrastructure. When these nets are simulated, mobility models can be used to specify node movements. The work in this thesis focuses on designing an extension of the random trip</p><p>mobility model on a city section from EPFL (Swiss federal institute of technology). Road data is extracted from the census TIGER database, displayed in Google Earth and used as input for the model. This model produces output that can be used in the open source network simulator ns-2.</p><p>We created utilities that take output from a database of US counties, the TIGER database, and convert it to KML. KML is an XML based format used by Google Earth to store geographical data, so that it can be viewed in Google Earth. This data will then be used as input to the modified mobility model and finally run through the ns-2 simulator. We present some NAM traces, a network animator that will show node movements over time.</p><p>We managed to complete most of the goals we set out, apart from being able to modify node positions in Google Earth. This was skipped because the model we modified had an initialization phase that made node positions random regardless of initial position. We were also asked to add the ability to set stationary nodes in Google Earth; this was not added due to time constraints.</p>

軟體開放式創新之研究-以Google公司為例 / Research on software open Innovation-A case study of Google陳信成 Unknown Date (has links)
現今企業處於高度競爭的經營環境,面對市場需求快速變動,企業需不斷的提昇核心競爭力以能推出創新性新產品、服務或新技術以能使企業持續成長。在知識經濟的環境裡,產品開發所需的技術與知識比重越來越高,但相對的知識越來越分散,以致企業開發新產品所需投入的研發比重持續上升。
Chesbrough (2003)認為,企業過去「封閉式創新」的作法已不符合競爭環境的需求,企業為提高競爭力,必須走向「開放性創新」。「開放性創新」的思維在軟體產業裡已是的創新來源,網路世界最基本的法則就是越多人用就越有價值,透過開放式原始碼與開放式軟體API,讓企業外部的開發者運用企業的資源,貢獻他的創意,才能快速滿足網路使用者需求,這也讓企業能吸收外部知識,進而更新企業的核心能力,提昇競爭力。
本研究在文獻探討部份,以開放式創新、軟體開放式平台與動態能耐三部份為主,其中在探討軟體開放式平台,分為外部技術網路、虛擬社群創新與平台領導者三個子構面加以探討。個案分析選擇軟體產業的領導廠商-Google為個案分析公司,藉由專訪的初級資料與其他次級資料,歸納出個案公司採用開放式創新的思維,運用軟體開放式平台的經營,並因應外部環境更新企業核心能力的方式。
本研究的結論分為兩部份:一是在「開放式創新」的概念下,軟體企業建立開放性平台以連結與運用外部資源的做法包含︰定義企業經營的範疇、建立虛擬互動平台、建立與管理社群與創造平台價值。二是軟體公司透過開放式創新,建立企業動態能耐的做法有︰確認價值活動、強化專屬資產、建立知識管理機制與規劃扁平的組織結構。

The research was started by analyzing oscillation data from accelerometer. We had to keep in mind that there can be road bumps, pit holes, speed bumps and other road anomalies, car can accelerate quickly and break sharply or even crash into something, what would cause a sudden stop. In order to recognize events, different detection filters were applied on data. In addition to this, neuron network was used to recognize pit holes and speed bumps from all event flow. The results of event detection algorithms were compared with other scientist’s works. In order to represent results clearly, database was created holding coordinates of the road events and other information like time, etc. The results were represented using an application programming interface made-up by Google, which was really suitable solution in our case. The whole system was programmed using Java servlets, which allowed to gather data from database using SQL (Structured Query Language) queries. While trying to represent accelerometer data, we faced difficulties in representing these road events on the map, as GPS each time returned answer with small variation of coordinates. In this case, we... [to full text]

Usability evaluation framework for e-commerce websites in developing countriesHasan, Layla January 2009 (has links)
The importance of evaluating the usability of e-commerce websites is well recognised and this area has attracted research attention for more than a decade. Nearly all the studies that evaluated the usability of e-commerce websites employed either user-based (i.e. user testing) or evaluator-based (i.e. heuristic evaluation) usability evaluation methods; but no research has employed softwarebased (i.e. Google Analytics software) in the evaluation of such sites. Furthermore, the studies which employed user testing and/or heuristic evaluation methods in the evaluation of the usability of e-commerce websites did not offer detail about the benefits and drawbacks of these methods with respect to the identification of specific types of usability problems. This research developed a methodological framework for the usability evaluation of e-commerce websites which involved user testing and heuristic evaluation methods together with Google Analytics software. The framework was developed by comparing the benefits and drawbacks of these methods in terms of the specific areas of usability problems that they could or could not identify on ecommerce websites. The framework involves Google Analytics software as a preliminary step to provide a quick, easy and cheap indication of general potential usability problem areas on an e-commerce website and its specific pages. Then, the framework enables evaluators to choose other methods to provide in-depth detail about specific iv problems on the site. For instance, the framework suggests that user testing is good for identifying specific major usability problems related to four areas: navigation, design, the purchasing process and accessibility and customer service, while the heuristic evaluation is good for identifying a large number of specific minor usability problems related to eight areas including: navigation, internal search, the site architecture, the content, the design, accessibility and customer service, inconsistency and missing capabilities. The framework also suggests that the heuristic evaluation is good at identifying major security and privacy problems. The framework was developed based on an extensive evaluation of the effectiveness of the three methods in identifying specific usability problems in three case studies (e-commerce websites) in Jordan. This highlighted the usefulness of the methods and therefore helps e-commerce retailers to determine the usability method that best matches their needs. The framework was tested and the results indicated the usefulness of the suggested framework in raising awareness of usability and usability evaluation methods among e-commerce retailers in Jordan. This will help them address usability in the design of their websites, thus helping them to survive, grow and achieve success.
