The EU-IST-MIDAS project has developed middleware that helps to simplify development of software for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) with distributed data. One of the challenges in distributed systems is the time difference in the various nodes that are part of the MANET. Time differences can disrupt the consistency of the data stored in a distributed database upon replication. This paper argues...
متن کاملEffects of ageing on touch.
A decline in the main sensory modalities is well reported to occur with ageing. This article outlines the normal pathways involved in touch sensation and includes a review of available evidence relating to the study of ageing and touch. The authors try to use what is known about the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of ageing to explain the impact on some broad functional deficits seen in the el...
متن کاملCointegrating MiDaS Regressions and a MiDaS Test
This paper introduces cointegrating mixed data sampling (CoMiDaS) regressions, generalizing nonlinear MiDaS regressions in the extant literature. Under a linear mixed-frequency data-generating process, MiDaS regressions provide a parsimoniously parameterized nonlinear alternative when the linear forecasting model is over-parameterized and may be infeasible. In spite of potential correlation of ...
