Science-based restoration monitoring of coastal habitats, Volume Two: Tools for monitoring coastal habitats
Healthy coastal habitats are not only important ecologically; they also support healthy coastal communities and improve the quality of people’s lives. Despite their many benefits and values, coastal habitats have been systematically modified, degraded, and destroyed throughout the United States and its protectorates beginning with European colonization in the 1600’s (Dahl 1990). As a result, many coastal habitats around the United States are in desperate need of restoration. The monitoring of restoration projects, the focus of this document, is necessary to ensure that restoration efforts are successful, to further the science, and to increase the efficiency of future restoration efforts
Software curating : the politics of curating in/as (an) Open System(s)
The thesis examines how Information technologies have changed the practice of
curating. It proposes an Interdisciplinary approach that directly links curating (often
understood as an activity of artistic programming), computing (the activity of computer
programming) and a relatively recent Interest In software art (in which programming Is
understood as artistic practice). Although there Is much contemporary critical work
and practice that Is described as art-oriented programming or software art, the thesis
aims to explore a perceived gap In discussions around software curating.
Curators working with online technologies are presented with the challenge of how to
respond to new artistic forms that Involve programming: for Instance program-objects
that display dynamic and transformative properties, and that are distributed over
socio-technological networks. Although there are many examples of social platforms
and highly relevant examples of online 'art platforms', these still largely operate In
display mode replicating more conventional models of curating and the operations of
art Institutions In general. The tendency Is for these curatorial online systems to
concentrate on the display of executed code and pay less attention to source code.
New sensibilities are required that simultaneously reflect the significance of source
code as art, and software not as a production tool or a display platform but as cultural
practice that Is analogous to curating. What Is distinctive about the thesis Is that It
speculates on a curatorial model that emphasises the analogy to programming.
Consequently, the thesis argues for online software systems that display properties of
curating but reprocess established definitions by deliberately collapsing firm
distinctions between the fields of programming, artistic practice and curatorial
practice.
To consider these Issues, the thesis brings together a number of Inter-related fields of
critical Inquiry and situates curating In the context of theories of immateriality, a
critical discourse around software art practice, and an understanding of open systems.
The key Issue for the thesis becomes how power relations, control and agency are
expressed In new curatorial forms that Involve programming and networks; In other
words, the thesis Is concerned with the politics of curating In/as (an) open system(s).
Indeed, curating Itself can be described In terms of open systems, Implying a state In
which there Is continuous Interaction with the soclo-technological environment. The
system Is opened up to communicative processes that Involve producers/users and to
divergent exchanges that take place and that disrupt established social relations of
production and distribution. Thus, and Importantly for an understanding of the power
relations Involved, software opens up curating to dynamic possibilities and
transformations beyond the usual Institutional model (analogous to the model of
production associated with the industrial factory) Into the context of networks (and
what Is referred to by the Autonomists as the 'social factory'). The suggestion Is that
the curatorial process Is now closely Integrated with the dynamic soclo-technological
networks and with software that Is not simply used to curate but demonstrates the
activity of curatIng In Itself Consequently, the thesis offers an expanded description of
curating with respect to software In which agency Is reconstituted to Include alternative
dynamics of networks.
The curatorial model Is not only theorlsed but also deployed In the production of
experimental software for curating source code (kurator) that forms the practical part
of the doctoral research. in addition to a written thesis and software, two further
projects produced during the registration period 2002-2008 are Included in support of
the overall thesis: a conference CuratIng, Immaterlafity, Systems (CIS) (Tate Modern,
London 2005) and an edited book Curating immateriality: The Work of The Curator In
the Age of Network Systems (CI) (Autonomedia, New York 2006). The kurator software
Is a further development of the conference and subsequent book, and offers an online,
user-moderated curatorial system for further public modification. In so doing, the
argument Is that the curatorial process Is demonstrably a collective and distributed
executable that displays machinic agency. This Is what Is referred to in the thesis as
software curating.Faculty of Technology and Faculty

Performance Analysis For Wireless G (IEEE 802.11 G) And Wireless N (IEEE 802.11 N) In Outdoor Environment
This paper described an analysis the different capabilities and limitation of both IEEE technologies that has been utilized for data transmission directed to mobile device. In this work, we have compared an IEEE 802.11/g/n outdoor environment to know what technology is better. the comparison consider on coverage area (mobility), through put and measuring the interferences. The work presented here is to help the researchers to select the best technology depending of their deploying case, and investigate the best variant for outdoor. The tool used is Iperf software which is to measure the data transmission performance of IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11g
