Installation Practices for ICT Cabling
North Dakota State University
Information and communications technology (ICT) is a fast-moving economic space in which a mix of consensus and open-source standards form the broad contours of leading practice. ICT standards tend to follow international developments — more so than, say, fire safety standards which are more familiar to education facility leadership. All school districts, colleges, universities and university-affiliated health care systems have significant product, system, firmware and labor resources allocated toward ICT. Risk management departments are attentive to cybersecurity issues. All school districts, colleges, universities and university-affiliated health care systems have significant product, system, firmware and labor resources allocated toward ICT.
The Building Industry Consulting Service International (BICSI) is a professional association supporting the advancement of the ICT community. This community is roughly divided between experts who deal with “outside-plant” systems and “building premise” systems on either side of the ICT demarcation point. BICSI standards cover the wired and wireless spectrum of voice, data, electronic safety & security, project management and audio & video technologies. Its work is divided among several committees:

Interoperability Model for Large Systems

Chalmers University of Technology
Abstract. The INTERO (interoperability) model helps organizations manage and improve interoperability among their large, evolving software systems. They can analyze a specific interoperability problem, conceive strategies to enhance interoperability, and reevaluate the problem to determine whether interoperability has improved.

Regulation by Enforcement
Regulation by enforcement refers to a regulatory approach in which compliance with regulations is achieved through the active enforcement of rules and penalties for non-compliance.
It involves regulatory agencies using their authority to monitor and enforce regulations, typically through inspections, investigations, fines, and other pretzel-logic actions against violators.
Regulation by enforcement is often used when regulations are designed to protect public health, safety, or the environment, and when non-compliance can have serious consequences. By actively enforcing regulations, regulatory agencies aim to deter violations and promote compliance among regulated entities.
However, regulation by enforcement can also be controversial, as it may be seen as punitive and costly, and can lead to legal disputes and adversarial relationships between regulators and regulated entities. Some argue that a more collaborative and cooperative approach, such as regulatory assistance and voluntary compliance programs, may be more effective in achieving compliance and preventing violations. The choice of regulatory approach often depends on the specific industry or sector being regulated, the nature of the regulations, and the regulatory philosophy of the governing jurisdiction.

Design of a gateway for ubiquitous classroom
“King Nimrod ordering the construction of the Tower of Babel” (17th Century) Louis de Caullery
Smart classroom: Gateway for ubiquitous classroom
In educational environment, the use of new pedagogies such as collaborative learning requires an evolution from a traditional classroom model to active classroom. The students should be able to share resources to collaborate with each other through computers, tablets, or other devices. The design of smart classroom should enable the control of audiovisual equipments, projectors, interactive whiteboards, in order to facilitate interaction among teachers and students. Ubiquitous computing or pervasive computing is a concept where processors and sensors are embedded in various physical objects to form a network and communicate information. Applying the pervasive computing can facilitate the collaborative learning by creating a smart learning environment. The ubiquitous classroom should be able to support interaction of heterogeneous devices connected through wireless links to a gateway. This paper presents a model of classroom that makes several smart devices such as laptops, tablets, projectors connected through a gateway in order to encourage communication of information between learners and the smart environment. Also, the gateway manages classroom smart devices by automatic detection and connectivity and it serves as application execution platform. Finally the gateway allows the classroom to be remote managed as well as the remote integration of application.
Agave
There are several colleges and universities that are studying or researching agave farming. Agave is a succulent plant that is used to produce a variety of products, including tequila, mezcal, and agave syrup. Here are a few examples of colleges and universities that are involved in agave farming research:
- University of Arizona – The University of Arizona has a research program focused on agave and its uses. The program includes research on agave farming practices, genetics, and product development.
- Texas A&M University – Texas A&M University has a research program focused on agave farming and the production of tequila and mezcal. The program includes research on agave plant physiology, breeding, and agronomy.
- Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara – The Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara in Mexico has a research program focused on the agave industry, including research on agave farming practices, plant pathology, and product development.
- California State University, Fullerton – California State University, Fullerton has a research program focused on agave farming and the production of agave syrup. The program includes research on agave plant biology, chemistry, and processing.
- Universidad de Guadalajara – The Universidad de Guadalajara in Mexico has a research program focused on agave farming and the production of tequila and mezcal. The program includes research on agave plant genetics, breeding, and agronomy.
These are just a few examples of colleges and universities that are involved in agave farming research. There are likely many more institutions that are studying agave farming and its various uses.
