Research. Love it or despise it, few deny that without it, risk goes up. Risk that your assumptions are off-base, causing targets to be missed by a mile. Risk that foregoing it will end up costing more time and money, through failed initiatives, costly redesigns, etc.


In this issue, we hope to get you excited about an important part of the work that you may have mixed feelings about. We begin by providing an overview of the current market research landscape, and give attention to some new research methods that can expose different or deeper insights than traditional methods. Then, we examine new uses for an old research method that many marketers now consider indispensable. Next, we offer actionable advice on how to create a sensible research plan to help you meet your objectives. Finally, we take a close look at social media analysis as a growing research trend.


We hope you find this issue of The Source informative and, as always, we welcome your feedback.

Summary: Through analyzing the systematic bus AHB time sequence and static behavior on high speed one of 920T nuclear ARM processor store the controller SMC interface model, research IBM PC/ AT and IEEE PC/ 104 bus norm, puts forward a kind of scheme of realizing compatible PC/ 104 bus on ARM platform. Canvass the enormous difference in such aspects as memory structure, instruction system and bus time sequence between two kinds of platform systems thoroughly, provide and overcome these differences and methods to realize buses with compatible function. It is unable to use standard PC/ 104 templates of difficult problems that this compatible bus has been solved on ARM platform, it helps in the design of the embedded system and concurrently fetches ARM processor and advantage of PC/ AT system to adopt this scheme.

Foreword

PC/ 104 is a kind of industrial control bus norm specially defined for embedded application. Personal computer and ancillary equipment based on IBM PC/ AT bus norm have made the enormous achievement in employing, IEEE 1996 calls it ISA (industrial standard framework: Industry Standard Architecture) Bus. PC/ 104 is the extension of ISA standard, defines in IEEE-P996. In 1, are called the compatible PC embedded module standard. PC/ 104 is actually a kind of compact ISA, its definition of signal and Pc/ AT are basically identical, but electric and mechanical norms are totally different, it is the embedded bus systems of a kind of optimization, small-scale, heap structure. PC/ 104 bus comes from and practises the needing of development, benefits from the rapid development of PC technology at the same time, because development environment its friendly compatible chip abundant supporting advantaging such as being extensive by standard, engaged in the welcoming of embedded products manufacturer and system integration trader numerous, though ISA apparatus has been already uncommon now, PC/ 104 is still the current standard in the embedded systematic field.

ARM is the hot technology in the present embedded system employs. Because remarkable performance, lower price and extensive support of the semi-conductive manufacturer in the industry of ARM processor, there is extensive application in the embedded environment. ARM Company has created CHIPLESS mode, this company, through authorizing the high-efficient ARM kernel to the semi-conductive company, added to various peripheral function circuit and forms an intact chip according to the real application situation by the semi-conductive company, this kind of mode makes the semi-conductive manufacturer have the ability to produce various powerful specialized processor chips. AR M pays the utmost attention to using the single chip that may integrate the peripheral apparatus to every concrete application to the greatest extent because of SoC thought in the design, but expand the respect on the board very much and still lack the new industrial standard that can be accepted extensively.

1 PC/ AT model and PC/ 104 bus

1. A bus signal

PC/ 104_ 4 ] is a kind of 16 buses, but 8 compatible XT modes forward, the typical bus clock is 8 MHz, 4 clock pulses can finish intact bus once to visit, can insert a extra waiting for cycle in order to adapt to the low-speed peripheral hardware if necessary. The daily following signals in the embedded system develops.

1. 1. An address and data signal line

BALE bus address can enable the line of signal to latch, is driven by the platform CPU. When ISA expands card or DMA controller to take up buses, it is put as the logic 1 too.

SA~19: O> : Low 2O root address signal thread, are driven by having the persons who use of present bus.

LAd 23: 17> : Latch the signal line of address, the address space of memory used for visiting 16MB. Driven by the present bus owner or DMA controller.

SD <15:0> : .

1. 1. 2 bus cycle control signal lines

MEMR#: Store and read the line of signal.

MEMW #: Write the line of signal with memory.

IOR#: I/ O I/ O reads the line of signal.

IOW #: I/ O I/ O writes the line of signal.

1. 1. 3 cut off and DMA (Direct Memory Access) Line of signal

IRQx: Cut off the signal line of request.

DRQx: DMA asks for the line of signal.

DACKx#: DMA answer signal line.

1. 2 address spaces

PC/ AT system uses different orders to visit space of memory and IO end me: A space, PC/ 104 bus drives MEMR # and MEMW # signal while visiting the space of memory, PC/ 104 bus drives IOR # and IOW # signal while visiting the space of memory. Two spaces use the same set of address thread, but because there is effective 64K only in the port space, so pay IO port while visiting there is only SA on the line in the address <15:O> .

PC/ AT system have special port visit order, use for, realize port visit, procedure, user of Linux, need, transfer ioperm so as to root authority only ‘) The appointed port address range that needs to operate, later can visit these ports freely. Visit the order because of a group of great ports that corresponds to CPU directly in fact that are used for visiting the port, so it is very efficient to deposit and withdraw.

1. 3 PC/ 104 bus cycle

104 of PC/ bus cycle divide into by CPU and drive and last two big class DMA controller,at reading frequently used in not employings embedded /IO last cycle.



Adopt 104 bus Rd of standard PC/ of 8 MHz clock and is greater than 300 ns in Fig. 1, tAF should be greater than 250 ns, tRDpw is about 500 ns.

What is Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome?

Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome (SDS), first described in 1964, is a rare, genetic (autosomal recessive), multi-systemic disorder affecting the pancreas, bone marrow, and skeleton. The most common symptoms are pancreatic dysfunction (malabsorption), low neutrophil count and short stature. Other organs may also be involved in some SDS patients. Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome affects people differently and not all people with SDS have all of these symptoms. In Infancy, the first symptoms are usually loose, foul smelling, greasy stools and failure to gain weight and grow normally. The pancreas fails to produce the enzymes essential to digest food properly. Because of the exocrine pancreatic dysfunction (malabsorption), the child does not absorb enough nutrients, most commonly the fat-soluble vitamins, to grow and develop normally. Oral enzyme replacement therapy helps these children to digest their food, but many still need to take special vitamin supplements. Improving nutritional status does not necessarily improve the growth of children with Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome.

The bone marrow, where blood cells are produced, is also affected in Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome. White blood cells, which fight infection, are most commonly affected. Neutropenia is the most common hematological abnormality in SDS, though all blood cell lines may be affected. Anemia and blood clotting problems are also common in SDS patients. Because of the bone marrow dysfunction, these children are at a greater risk of developing life-threatening infections. Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome is considered to be a bone marrow failure syndrome, because up to 30% of these children will develop leukemia or aplastic anemia.

You might be overwhelmed on how to research information for your book. It may be difficult in the beginning to know where to start at or even how to gather information. How to research information for your book is quite simple when you follow some steps. You need to write down a list of all of certain information that you want to be included in your book. Here are five tips on how to research information for your book.

1.Talk to experts. Make sure to put experts on that list to get information from. You want to be able to quote information and check facts with experts. Experts will add more value to the information in your book and also provide you with additional information. They are also great to get to know since you can learn more information from them. You want to write down their names correctly.

2.Get a tape recorder. You want to get a tape recorder when asking experts questions. The tape recorder will help you later on when you putting the information together in your book. It is also important to take notes while talking to the experts, but the tape recorder will help you pick up any information that you may have missed due to the person talking too fast or not being able to write fast enough.

3.Get a digital camera. You want a digital camera to take pictures for your book. A digital camera with pictures also may be able to help you describe something in your book better depending upon what topic your book is about. They are nice to have a picture to look at in order to put words regarding the picture.

4.Go to the library in your city. The library is the perfect way to get information regarding the topic of your book. You can also check current old and new information this way. Your library might be also to order a book for you if you can't find it in the library. Library is a great source to get allot of information for free without having to buy a ton of books. A library usually offers Internet access for free to find additional information. Make sure to check out the college library in your local area too. One thing that is great about a library is that they usually have old copies of newspapers.

5.Talk to neighbors and other people. Depending upon the topic of your book you can learn quite a bit of information from neighbors and other people. People will be glad to tell you information for free just to be able to see their name in your book. If you any people that are professionals in a certain field that you can use that opportunity to talk to them.

When gathering information then please make sure to keep it organized so you can keep track of it better. It may help to have file folders to keep everything separated so it doesn't get all mixed up. Out of all the information in your book the experts are the most important of it all. The experts makes your book hold more weight as far as being more accurate and also contains more knowledge so it is even more helpful to others.

Today's educators are bombarded with information from all sides about the latest and greatest research-based instructional techniques in teaching. With all these crazes about instructional methods and the confusion about which one really works and which one is a dud, no wonder our teachers are so exhausted! As charming and inspirational as all these latest claims and success stories seem to be, educators need to be careful when choosing and implementing a new or old "miracle" instruction method. There are things a teacher needs to do before making any big changes to their curriculum and instruction.

First things first, what supporting evidence is there? Educators need to use their resources wisely and take all initial information with skepticism. Before actually outright backing the "amazing" new research supporting a particular method, whether it be Indirect Instruction, Cooperative learning, etc..., educators must do their research. Talk to colleagues, look the strategy up online, check out education magazines and journals, and any other resource material available. Find out what evidence there is out there to support the research-based strategy. Furthermore, make sure the sources you are calling upon for information are reliable. Reliable sources offer reliable evidence, so seek out unbiased, professional resources. Weigh pros and cons, consistencies and inconsistencies, before making a decision on the strategy at hand.

After thorough research has been done, the next important question is: "How should the research-based program be implemented?" And "What methods does the research show to be most advantageous?" These questions' answers would most probably appear in your research since it was suppose to be incredibly thorough. If not, you'll want to look it up. Many teachers forget this step, and as Grassen states in the article "What Does It Mean To Be a Research-Based Profession" teachers simply aren't properly implementing research-based strategies are thus losing out on potential benefits of the programs. "Cooperative learning was designed to complement teacher-directed instruction by providing further opportunity for students to work together using what they have learned. In most schools today, cooperative learning is used to replace teacher-directed instruction and students are expected to construct their own knowledge working in groups." (N.d). Clearly, teachers need to put a great deal of thought into this step as improper implementation of the program can have catastrophic consequences on learners.

Read up on each research-based method, decide what sorts of lessons would benefit from their use, and which wouldn't. Talk to colleagues about what methods they use in the classroom, why, and how they implement them. Most of all, be aware of comparisons being drawn between different research-based strategies. Look for comparative studies as opposed to non-comparative studies. Comparative studies are more likely to give you accuracy in research. Educators need to look at the whole picture. How is class A using strategy A performing compared to class B using strategy B? How do these same classes perform after trading strategies? How is school A using strategy A performing compared to school B using strategy B? And so on...

Lastly, before implementing any research-based strategy, an educator should ask themselves "Am I biased?" Be sure to be honest with yourself. Try to go into deliberation with an open and unbiased mind. Take into account all reliable sources whether they are in-line with your initial beliefs or opinions on the strategy or not. Remain unbiased until the end. Your openness and willingness to learn can determine the accuracy of your research.

There are a great many research-based programs out there and being implemented everyday. Many of them just don't have the proper supporting research for an educator, especially a new and inexperienced one, to simply throw their weight behind. Don't ask your students to do homework without doing your own. Research your methods before putting them into practice. Find out what's behind them, what's supporting them, and how they should be used to the biggest advantage in the classroom. Without such information your newest instructional plan could be a huge failure. Don't follow fads and trends, look for rock solid evidence and implementation methods before making that big leap of bringing it into your classroom.

Blogging at the Crossroads by Unknown Source





I ran in to some difficulty the other day when attempting to set up my GoDaddy domain for Blogger. The instructions on the Blogger website will not allow you to set up your domain for Blogger but a subdomain. This of course is frustrating for those of us that would like to use our actual domain for Blogger.

After some tinkering, I came up with a solution. Here's how you can set up your GoDaddy domain for Blogger:

First, sign in to your GoDaddy account. Next, click on "Domains" and then "My Domains". Next click on "Total DNS Control and MX Records". Find "www" listed under "Host" and click on the edit button for it. You should now get a prompt asking you if you're sure you want to edit it. Click "Ok". Change the "points to host name" to "ghs.google.com". Now click "Ok". You should now be back at the "My Domains" screen. You've just changed "www.yourdomain.com" to point to your Blogger account instead of what ever option you have set in GoDaddy.

Now click on the "Domains" tab. Click on the link that says forwarding is disabled. We will need to change this so that when people type in "yourdomain.com" they get "www.yourdomain.com" since that is the address your Blogger account will be located at. Put a check next to "Enable Forwarding", then type "www.yourdomain.com" in the field below it. Make sure that you select "Moved Permanently" as the redirect type. Now click "Ok".

Go to your Blogger account and sign in to your dashboard. Click on the link that says "Settings" next to your blog. Next, click on the "Publishing" tab. Now click on the link that says "Custom Domain". Next to "Your Domain", type in "www.yourdomain.com". Leave the redirect box unchecked. Fill in the captcha, then click "Save".

It may take a few minutes for your blog to start working from your GoDaddy domain. Once it does you should be able to get to it from either "yourdomain.com" or "www.yourdomain.com".

If you get the message that another blog is already hosted at your domain address, go to this custom domain form and type in your domain address. It will take up to 48 hours for the change to occur, but once it does you should be able to successfully save your domain in Blogger.

Alternative energy research in universities or with university and corporate partnerships has been very effective. Decades of biomass and tree research conducted together by Florida State University and Shell Energy corporation have resulted in the planting of the vastest "Energy Crop Plantation" in all of the US. Through alternative energy research on the university level, a plantation has been created that spans about 130 acres while being home to more than 250,000 planted trees including eucalyptus (which are non-invasive) and cottonwoods (native to the area) along with various row crops such as soybeans. This bringing together of "super trees" happened as a result of the University's alternative energy research with other parties including Shell, the Common Purpose Institute, US Department of Energy, and groups of sundry individuals who are interested in alternative energy research into energy sources that are not dependent on fossil fuels for our civilization's future. Alternative energy research undertaken by the University is focused on the creation of of biomass energy supplies from rapid-growth crops which is called "closed loop biomass" or just "energy crops". The research looks for ways to develop "power plants" like wood-fiber or wood-pulp providing plants; clean biogas for industries to use; plants like surgarcane that can be used for the development of ethanol; and crops like soybeans for use in biodiesel fuel production.

University involvement in alternative energy research also has a place at Penn State University. The alternative energy research here is focused on the development of hydrogen power, which is envisioned by many as one of the most practical alternative energy sources. Those who are doing this research at Penn State University believe that civilization is moving toward an economy that will be based on hydrogen fuel because of the need to reduce air polluting emissions while finding alternative sources of energy to that of petroleum to drive the engine of the United States. Hydrogen energy is clean burning and it can be endlessly renewed due to the fac that it can be taken up from water and crop plants. Hydrogen power is looked to as a sustainable energy resource and one that can be uncovered within the United States' infrastructure as the world's supply of affordable oil reaches its peak and then declines, driving up its cost. The University through its alternative energy research desire to further the commercial development of hydrogen powered fuel cells. These would be usable in conjunction with or in place of combustion engines to power our vehicles.

Not too long ago, President Bush announced his alternative energy initiative. He determined that the federal government would create five "Sun Grant" centers for concentrated alternative energy research. Oregon State University was honored by being made one of these centers. OSU has been allocated government grants of $2 million for each of the next four years so that it can pursue its alternative energy research. The Univeristy will be the leading center for researching alternative energy while it symbolizes the energy interests of the Pacific Islands, the United States' Pacific Territories, and nine western states. University President Edward Ray says, "The research being conducted through OSU's Sun Grant center will contribute directly to our meeting President Bush's challenge for energy independence." Those projects concerning alternative energy that the University's various teams of scientists are pursuing include figuring out how to efficiently convert organic materials like straw into sources for renewable biomass fuels and the study of how to efficiently get liquid fuel from wood fibers.

Middle School students love to explore the unknown and share what they have discovered. Take advantage of this natural curiosity about the unknown to develop research and presentation skills. Even reluctant learners get involved when you allow them to research and write about real life unsolved mysteries.

Pre-teaching: Before beginning this hands on project, students must understand the concepts of theories and evidence. It would be wise to choose a topic of your own and complete the project to share with students prior to assigning the project.

Skills Needed: To complete this project, students must be familiar with PowerPoint or any other slideshow presentation tool you choose to use. If they are not already skilled in this area, provide opportunities for students to work with the program.

Search Engines: This project relies heavily on Internet Research. Time must be devoted Internet search techniques.

Assessing web sites: Teach students how to determine if a website is reliable. Use this template or create your own.

Note Taking: Require Middle School students to take notes of their research. Spend time teaching students to paraphrase and summarize what they have read. Use this template or create one of your own for students to use.

Crediting sources: Middle School students don't really understand the importance of crediting their sources. Take the time to teach the basics of citing sources.

Plagiarism: This is a good time to teach about plagiarism. Many middle school students still think that if they change around a few words they are not plagiarizing. Take the time to teach them how to use information without plagiarizing. Make sure you emphasize that using photos created by others must be credited too.

Unsolved Mysteries Project

Provide students with a list of unsolved mysteries to choose from. (See suggested topics at the end of this article). Most students will find a suitable topic on the list. For those who wish to choose their own topic, insist that the topic be approved by you prior to beginning.

Minimum Requirements:
Slide 1: Title slide containing the "unsolved mystery", student name, and date.
Slide 2: Introductory slide: The mystery must be introduced with an explanation of why it is a mystery. This should include a statement of opposing views or beliefs.
Slide 3: Supporting theories
Slide 4: Opposing theories
Slide 5: Evidence (photos, news reports, witnesses, police reports)
Slide 6: Conclusions, which includes the student's belief based on the information provided in their project.
Slide 7: Credits

Special thanks to Ruth Sundra who designed a similar group projects for 4th and 5th grade. The project outline shared here has been designed for middle school students to complete individually to demonstrate mastery of core skills while researching topics of interest to them.

Suggested Topics

Big Foot/Yeti
Loch Ness Monster
Ghosts
Life-after-Death Experiences
Psychic abilities
UFOs/aliens
Alien Abduction
Shadow People
How the Pyramids Were Built
Stonehenge
Bermuda Triangle
Angels
Auras
Out-of-Body Experiences
Mayan Calendar (end of the world)
Time Travel/Time Slips
Spontaneous Human Combustion
Miracles
Psychic Healing
Crop Circles

Add topics that fit the interests of the particular group you are working with. For 8th graders, the more bizarre, the better. Allow plenty of class time for research and for creating the slide show. Setting specific due dates for each portion will curtail misuse of time.

Your middle school students just may astound you with their final project. Not only do they get involved in their individual project, they are eager to learn what their classmates have discovered, too.
