Abstract: Electromagnetic interference (EMI) has a negative effect upon the performance of circuit communication systems. The present study considers the case of EMI and it is shown that the harmonic noise increases with an increasing interference amplitude and frequency. When electromagnetic interference takes place with the input pins of 555 Timer using as an Monostable Multivibrator it can c...

A simplified simulation method for the calculation of conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by switched power converters (SPCs) is presented. The method presented here is based on a “sourcepropagation-pathderived disturbance” simulation process and is specially designed to simplify the mentioned computation problems. In the design of the proposed method, quick and robust simulatio...

Communication errors are identified by the Joint Commission as the primary root cause of sentinel events across all categories. In addition, improving the effectiveness of communication among healthcare providers is listed as one of the Joint Commission's 2008 National Patient Safety Goals. Nursing programs are expected to graduate practice-ready nurses who demonstrate quality and safety in pat...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to the assessment of emergent socio-cognitive roles learners adopted during peer interactions. The posits that different dimensions interaction emerging from temporal-semantic discourse information and structure interactions can be used diagnostically reveal As such, combination two established methodologies, Group Communication Analysis (GCA) centers ...

This essay describes two emergent phenomena related to multimodality in digital communications. The first phenomenon is interactive multimodal platforms—Web 2.0 platforms that support a convergence of channels or “modes” (text, audio, video, images) for user-to-user communication. The second is robot-mediated communication—humanhuman communication in which at least one party is telepresent thro...

This paper describes experiments in cooperation using autonomous mobile robots to perform a cleaning task. The robots have heterogeneous capabilities and the task is designed so that cooperation is required. Each experiment increases the sophistication of the cooperation scheme to assess the effect on task performance. The experiments range from using emergent cooperation with no communication ...

The opportunities that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) offer to any industry considering the transformation of products and places into smart, connected system have stimulated academics and professionals from every discipline to explore and collaborate in concrete realizations of this vision. This paper elaborates on the relevance of considering research from different discipli...

Channels of communication are presented as an emergent property of cooperative work. During actual interaction channels of communication are typically used in an intermittent fashion. Thus bandwidth is not an appropriate measure. Instead pace, the measure of the rate at which individual communications occur through a channel, is proposed as a primary property. We can relate this to the pace of ...

Human language has unusual structural properties that enable open-ended communication. In recent years, researchers have begun to appeal to cultural evolution to explain the emergence of these structural properties. A particularly fruitful approach to this kind of explanation has been the use of laboratory experiments. These typically involve participants learning and interacting using artifici...
