Market Report for Industrial Handheld Wireless Devices

This report, as a preliminary market study of industrial handheld wireless devices, includes a market overview, a market research analysis based on the 5Cs (Customers, Company, Competitors, Collaborators, and Context), market characteristics (size, segmentation, vertical market applications, and demand), future opportunities projections, and an industry analysis using the five-forces model. The data, facts and evidence for this report were gathered through primary research with global design houses and from secondary sources. This report finds that the market for industrial handheld products has been and will be growing steadily due to increasing demand for productivity, communication, and service, supply and management applications at various market verticals, and enhancements in wireless and networking technologies. This market growth also provides business opportunities for independent software vendors to engage with industrial device manufacturers (customers) to provide them with complete software solutions

The Internet is a Series of Tubes

Internet adoption tends to progress in phases: early rapid adoption in urban areas and by relatively well-educated and higher-income households, then transitioning to a slower pace once between 70 and 85% of households subscribe. For example, in a 2013 survey, the Pew Research Internet Project found that approximately 15% of the adult population does not use the Internet; those least likely to use the Internet include “senior citizens, adults with less than a high-school education and those living in households earning less than $30,000 per year.

Building the Future Internet through FIRE

The Internet as we know it today is the result of a continuous activity for improving network communications, end user services, computational processes and also information technology infrastructures. The Internet has become a critical infrastructure for the human-being by offering complex networking services and end-user applications that all together have transformed all aspects, mainly economical, of our lives. Recently, with the advent of new paradigms and the progress in wireless technology, sensor networks and information systems and also the inexorable shift towards everything connected paradigm, first as known as the Internet of Things and lately envisioning into the Internet of Everything, a data-driven society has been created. In a data-driven society, productivity, knowledge, and experience are dependent on increasingly open, dynamic, interdependent and complex Internet services. The challenge for the Internet of the Future design is to build robust enabling technologies, implement and deploy adaptive systems, to create business opportunities considering increasing uncertainties and emergent systemic behaviors where humans and machines seamlessly cooperate

Research reports: 1991 NASA/ASEE Summer Faculty Fellowship Program

The basic objectives of the programs, which are in the 28th year of operation nationally, are: (1) to further the professional knowledge of qualified engineering and science faculty members; (2) to stimulate an exchange of ideas between participants and NASA; (3) to enrich and refresh the research and teaching activities of the participants' institutions; and (4) to contribute to the research objectives of the NASA Centers. The faculty fellows spent 10 weeks at MSFC engaged in a research project compatible with their interests and background and worked in collaboration with a NASA/MSFC colleague. This is a compilation of their research reports for summer 1991

The influence of social media food content on the Greek travel destination image

In the modern days, tourists tend to increasingly use social media during the pre-trip, on-site (in-situ) experiences, and feedback levels. These are progressively influencing travellers’ behaviours, as well as forming the experiences, impressions and ideas of consumers. This thesis intends to explain how food-related content on social media can influence the destination image of Greece, considering the value of food as a unique and distinguishing element of the touristic destinations and identifying the power of social media food content on developing gastronomic tourism and improving the destination image of Greece. We aim to recognize the power of social media channels and particularly Instagram, in impacting destination choice, offering inspiration for travel planning as well as interpreting the relationship between Greek gastronomy and travelling in the digital era. To achieve our goals, both primary and secondary data were collected. The literature review is performed from the broadest to the most exact relevant subjects. The data collection, as well as analysis, have been implemented through the qualitative method. To clarify the questions asked and to attain the scope of this thesis, we resort to the focus group technique, collecting ideas from several young culinary tourists belonging to the target group of Millennials and Generation Z. The combination of both primary and secondary data offered significant findings that contributed to recognising the value of social media food content on the destination image of Greece. It is worth mentioning that the results of this research prompted that there is a strong impact of social media food content on consumer behaviours, travel choices, as well on the motivations of young gastronomic tourists.Nos dias de hoje, os turistas tendem a usar cada vez mais as redes sociais durante a pré-viagem, as experiências no local (in-situ) e o seu feedback após a experiência. Estes influenciam cada vez mais os comportamentos dos viajantes, bem como as experiências, impressões e ideias dos consumidores. Esta tese pretende abordar como os conteúdos gastronómicos nas redes sociais podem influenciar positivamente a imagem do destino da Grécia, considerando o valor da comida como elemento único e diferenciador dos destinos turísticos e identificando o poder dos conteúdos gastronómicos das redes sociais no desenvolvimento do turismo gastronómico e melhorar a imagem de destino da Grécia. O objetivo é reconhecer o poder das redes sociais, particularmente, o Instagram, em impactar a escolha do destino, oferecendo inspiração para o planeamento de viagens e interpretando a relação entre a gastronomia grega e as viagens a este destino na era digital. Para atingir os nossos objetivos, foram recolhidos dados primários e secundários. No que se refere à revisão de literatura, foi realizada desde os assuntos mais amplos até os mais exatos relevantes. A recolha de dados, bem como a análise, foi implementada através do método qualitativo. Para esclarecer as questões colocadas e atingir o âmbito desta tese, recorremos à técnica de focus group, recolhendo ideias de vários jovens turistas com interesse pela gastronomia pertencentes ao público-alvo dos Millennials e da geração Z. A combinação de dados primários e secundários ofereceu descobertas significativas que contribuíram para reconhecer o valor do conteúdo gastronómico nas redes sociais na imagem de destino da Grécia. Importa referir que os resultados desta investigação demonstram o impacto do conteúdo gastronómico das redes sociais nos comportamentos dos consumidores, escolhas de viagem, bem como nas motivações dos jovens turistas com interesse pela gastronomia
