A Telecommuting Interlibrary Loan Librarian's Experience: The Views of Both the Telecommuter and the On-Site Supervisor

Abstract: Because of the changing world of librarianship and the introduction of new technologies, telecommuting has become an innovative option for certain jobs in the library. Telework gives an organization the opportunity to retain skilled employees and cut the costs of recruiting, selection, and training of a new employee. There are certain tasks in the workflow of the interlibrary loan department that could permit an employee to work from a distance. This is specifically due to resource sharing management systems such as ILLiad. Florida Atlantic University decided to retain an interlibrary loan employee who had to relocate and try telecommuting on a trial basis. This paper details the employee's experiences.

Evolution and Forecasting of Business-Centric Technoeconomics: A Time-Series Pursuit via Digital Ecology

Abstract: Time-evolution and hence, forecasting the growth profiles of business-centric technoeconomics are ascertained. As an example, the vast telecommunication (telco)-specific business is considered as a complex enterprise depicting a cyberspace of digital ecology (DE) with a backbone of network that supports a host of information sources and destinations facilitating a variety of triple (voice, data and video) services. To specify the temporal trend of evolution of telco economics in a series format, the approach pursued here (and differs from traditional series analyses) takes into account only a selective (and justifiable) set of autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) parameters consistent with the test data. However, this simplified approach yields sufficiently accurate time-series (depicting the business growth) extendable to forecasting regimes. The efficacy of the proposed method is determined via goodness-fit evaluations both in time- and frequency-domains. The data adopted in the computations conform to typical telco service industry.

A quantum circuit to find discrete logarithms on ordinary binary elliptic curves in depth O(log 2 n)

Abstract: Improving over an earlier construction by Kaye and Zalka [1], in [2] Maslov et al. describe an implementation of Shor's algorithm, which can solve the discrete logarithm problem on ordinary binary elliptic curves in quadratic depth O(n2). In this paper we show that discrete logarithms on such curves can be found with a quantum circuit of depth O(log2 n). As technical tools we introduce quantum circuits for F2n-multiplication in depth O(log n) and for F2n-inversion in depth O(log2 n).

Politically Driven Regulations and Enforcement: Monitoring Kurd and Fundamentalist Broadcasts in Turkey

Abstract: This article examines the policy of monitoring private broadcast contents in Turkey from 1993 to 2002. In general, the policy aimed to regulate the growing number of private stations that operated almost free of government control and to protect the public from the negative effects of private broadcasts. Implementation nonetheless attempted to prevent and reduce Kurd separatist and Muslim fundamentalist broadcasts. These broadcasts were often found in violation of national unity and the secular constitutional order of the state. The article sheds light on specific bureaucratic mechanisms that enabled politically driven regulation and enforcement in monitoring broadcast contents.

The Role of Agents in Private Entrepreneurial Finance

Abstract: In this paper we examine for the first time the role of agents in private-market entrepreneurial financings. After controlling for the endogenous issuer-agent matching and a whole host of other potential determinants, the empirical findings in this paper indicate that agents attract more investors, broaden the geographic investor and capital base, and increase the percentage of investors and capital from investors that are most vulnerable to the costs of information asymmetry. We also find that more reputable agents generally provide a higher quality service than less reputable agents, and consequently charge higher fees. Our findings provide strong support for the certification and networking role of agents in the private entrepreneurial financing market, and no support for the idea that agents use their market power to take advantage of private entrepreneurial firms.
