The Effect of Workloads and Compensation on Work Motivation in Sasmita Jaya Foundation
The complexity of motivational problems has always been an obstacle to employee performance. Therefore, it is important to do research on the causal factors. To answer this problem, quantitative approaches and regression analysis are used. The population in this study were 70 employees of Sasmita Jaya Foundation and the sample technique used was census. The results prove that workload has a significant effect on work motivation with a regression coefficient of 0.569. Compensation has a significant effect on work motivation with a regression coefficient of 0.478. Simultaneous analysis prove that workload and compensation have a significant effect on work motivation with a determination coefficient of 72.5%, while the remaining 27.5% is explained by other variables outside of this stud
How do Wireless Chains Behave? The Impact of MAC Interactions
In a Multi-hop Wireless Networks (MHWN), packets are routed between source
and destination using a chain of intermediate nodes; chains are a fundamental
communication structure in MHWNs whose behavior must be understood to enable
building effective protocols. The behavior of chains is determined by a number
of complex and interdependent processes that arise as the sources of different
chain hops compete to transmit their packets on the shared medium. In this
paper, we show that MAC level interactions play the primary role in determining
the behavior of chains. We evaluate the types of chains that occur based on the
MAC interactions between different links using realistic propagation and packet
forwarding models. We discover that the presence of destructive interactions,
due to different forms of hidden terminals, does not impact the throughput of
an isolated chain significantly. However, due to the increased number of
retransmissions required, the amount of bandwidth consumed is significantly
higher in chains exhibiting destructive interactions, substantially influencing
the overall network performance. These results are validated by testbed
experiments. We finally study how different types of chains interfere with each
other and discover that well behaved chains in terms of self-interference are
more resilient to interference from other chains
OSCAR: A Collaborative Bandwidth Aggregation System
The exponential increase in mobile data demand, coupled with growing user
expectation to be connected in all places at all times, have introduced novel
challenges for researchers to address. Fortunately, the wide spread deployment
of various network technologies and the increased adoption of multi-interface
enabled devices have enabled researchers to develop solutions for those
challenges. Such solutions aim to exploit available interfaces on such devices
in both solitary and collaborative forms. These solutions, however, have faced
a steep deployment barrier.
In this paper, we present OSCAR, a multi-objective, incentive-based,
collaborative, and deployable bandwidth aggregation system. We present the
OSCAR architecture that does not introduce any intermediate hardware nor
require changes to current applications or legacy servers. The OSCAR
architecture is designed to automatically estimate the system's context,
dynamically schedule various connections and/or packets to different
interfaces, be backwards compatible with the current Internet architecture, and
provide the user with incentives for collaboration. We also formulate the OSCAR
scheduler as a multi-objective, multi-modal scheduler that maximizes system
throughput while minimizing energy consumption or financial cost. We evaluate
OSCAR via implementation on Linux, as well as via simulation, and compare our
results to the current optimal achievable throughput, cost, and energy
consumption. Our evaluation shows that, in the throughput maximization mode, we
provide up to 150% enhancement in throughput compared to current operating
systems, without any changes to legacy servers. Moreover, this performance gain
further increases with the availability of connection resume-supporting, or
OSCAR-enabled servers, reaching the maximum achievable upper-bound throughput
Suspicious Suspect Classes - Are Nonimmigrants Entitled to Strict Scrutiny Review under the Equal Protection Clause?: An Analysis of Dandamudi and LeClerc
(Excerpt)
Part I of this Note provides the background necessary to understand the different alienage classifications, equal protection jurisprudence, and the confusion in the Supreme Court\u27s alienage equal protection precedent. Part II describes the differences of opinion among the circuit courts on the application of the Equal Protection Clause to nonimmigrants. Part III argues, in greater detail, that nonimmigrants are not a suspect class for the reasons stated above
Build Employee Performance
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of work complacent and motivation of job on the employees working performance either partially or simultaneously. The object research carried out to the employee stamp of PT. Bank Panin BSD Tangerang Selatan. Design research conducted in the preparation of this is associative quantitative that aims to determine the influence between two or more deeply variables describe or reveal a problem, situation, event or revealing fact as they are deeply and try to find a solution or solutions to problems. The results showed that work content based on partial test was positive and significant effect on the achievement capability of 51,7% and then work arousal also was positive and significant effect on performance of 52,6%. The result of determinate coefficient (R2) of 63,8% can be summed up the effect of the variable job satisfaction and work motivation toward employees performance where the influence are positive. The results of calculation for 41,458 F-value further consultation with the F-table with dk = k numerator and denominator dk = (nk-1) with a 5% error level the importance of the F table = 3,18. Provisions applicable for F-value greater than F-table (41,458 > 3,18), it can be stated that the multiple correlation is significant. Thus the null hypothesis (H0) that states there is no effect between work satiation and work motivation influence on employees performance is rejected, while the alternative hypothesis (Ha) are accepte
Inferring Room Semantics Using Acoustic Monitoring
Having knowledge of the environmental context of the user i.e. the knowledge
of the users' indoor location and the semantics of their environment, can
facilitate the development of many of location-aware applications. In this
paper, we propose an acoustic monitoring technique that infers semantic
knowledge about an indoor space \emph{over time,} using audio recordings from
it. Our technique uses the impulse response of these spaces as well as the
ambient sounds produced in them in order to determine a semantic label for
them. As we process more recordings, we update our \emph{confidence} in the
assigned label. We evaluate our technique on a dataset of single-speaker human
speech recordings obtained in different types of rooms at three university
buildings. In our evaluation, the confidence\emph{ }for the true label
generally outstripped the confidence for all other labels and in some cases
converged to 100\% with less than 30 samples.Comment: 2017 IEEE International Workshop on Machine Learning for Signal
