Wireless local area network planning: an overview
When planning a wireless local area network, there are design issues that need to be considered. In this paper, the fundamentals of planning a wireless local area network are introduced and discussed to highlight the requirements involved. Network constraints, as their relevance to wireless network design is investigated. The paper concludes with an overview of wireless network planning solutions including commercial and free software, and an introduction to the author’s research
The Farrell-Hsiang method revisited
We present a sufficient condition for groups to satisfy the Farrell-Jones
Conjecture in algebraic K-theory and L-theory. The condition is formulated in
terms of finite quotients of the group in question and is motivated by work of
Farrell-Hsiang.Comment: This version is different from the published version. A number of
typos and an incorrect formula for the transfer before Lemma 6.3 pointed out
by Holger Reich have been correcte
Saturation Effects in Deep Inelastic Scattering at low and its Implications on Diffraction
We present a model based on the concept of saturation for small and
small . With only three parameters we achieve a good description of all Deep
Inelastic Scattering data below . This includes a consistent treatment
of charm and a successful extrapolation into the photoproduction regime. The
same model leads to a roughly constant ratio of diffractive and inclusive cross
section.Comment: 24 pages, 12 figures, Latex-fil
High- Jets in Diffractive Electroproduction
The diffractive production of high- jets in deep-inelastic
scattering is studied in the semiclassical approach. The -spectra of
and diffractive final states are found to be
qualitatively different. For final states, which are produced by
`hard' colour-singlet exchange, the -spectrum is much softer than
for final states, where the colour neutralization is `soft'.
Furthermore, the two different final states can be clearly distinguished by
their diffractive mass distributions.Comment: 9 pages, latex, 5 figure

First Report of the Alfalfa Blotch Leafminer (Diptera: Agromyzidae), and Selected Parasites (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in Minnesota and Wisconsin, USA
Alfalfa blotch leafminer, Agromyza frontella, has been a serious pest of alfalfa, Medicago sativa, in the northeastern U.S. and in eastern Ontario, Canada. Until recently, the western edge of the A. frontella distribution in the U.S. was limited to eastern Ohio. We document for the first time, the occurrence of A. frontella in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Alfalfa stems damaged by A. frontella, based on adult feeding punctures, obvious blotched leafmining or the presence of larvae, were first found in 3 northern Minnesota counties during October, 1994. Infested counties included Lake of the Woods, Cook and Lake, all bordering western Ontario, Canada. In 1995, A. frontella was again found in Cook and Lake counties, where 99-100% of the stems, and 18-35% of the trifoliates/stem, contained larvae or exhibited obvious feeding damage. In 1996, following a more expanded survey, a total of 11 and 5 counties, in Minnesota and Wisconsin, respectively, showed some level of A. frontella feeding damage (stem samples ranged from \u3c5 to 100% infested). Based on additional counties surveyed 11 October, 1996, where A. frontella was not found, we now have a reasonable estimate of the southern edge of the distribution in Minnesota and Wisconsin. A total of 2 and 6 A. frontella adults were identified from sweep-net samples taken from fields with obvious feeding damage during 1995 (Lake Co.) and 1996 (Cook Co,), respectively. Three eulophid (Hymenoptera) parasites were reared from A. frontella-infested alfalfa stems collected during October, 1994 in Cook Co., Minn., including: Diglyphus begini, D. pulchripes, and Diglyphus sp., prob. isaea, all of which are new records. Our hypothesis is that A. frontella moved into Minnesota from Ontario Canada, via alfalfa hay purchased by northern Minnesota growers
