Binary search tree and framed ALOHA algorithms are commonly adopted to solve the anti-collision problem in RFID systems. In this letter, the read efficiency of these two anti-collision algorithms is compared through computer simulations. Simulation results indicate the framed ALOHA algorithm requires less total read time than the binary search tree algorithm. The initial frame length strongly a...

Health-relevant communications can be framed in terms of the benefits (gains) or costs (losses) associated with a particular behavior, and the framing of such persuasive messages influences health decision making. Although to ask people to consider a health issue in terms of associated costs is considered an effective way to motivate behavior, empirical findings are inconsistent. In evaluating ...

Framed within critical poststructuralist sociolinguistics, this narrative study sheds light on the language ideologies and practices of eight Greek heritage (HL) teachers in schools Montreal Toronto. Examining teachers’ is important, as they can either engage or alienate HL learners. Engaging learners significant, because for many them school their only opportunity to use language. Language por...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of double-framed fuzzy quotient lattice in a fuzzy lattice and then some basic properties are investigated. Characterizations of double-framed fuzzy quotient lattices are given. Using a collection of lattices, a double framed fuzzy quotient lattice is established. The notion of fuzzy quotient lattice relation on the family of all I double-framed fuzzy sub ...

This study compared the effectiveness of 4 videotaped educational programs designed to motivate HIV testing among low-income, ethnic minority women. Four hundred eighty women were assigned randomly to watch one of 2 gain-framed or 2 loss-framed videos. Consistent with prospect theory, participants' perceptions of the certainty of the outcome of an HIV test moderated the effects of framing on se...

Study 1 demonstrated that as individuals' promotion-related ideal strength increases, performance on an anagram task is greater for a monetary task incentive framed in terms of gains and nongains (i.e., promotion framed) than one framed in terms of losses and nonlosses (i.e., prevention framed), whereas the reverse is true as individuals' prevention-related ought strength increases. Study 2 fur...

This book is an elementary introduction to natural language processing, but it is a very unusual one for two reasons. First, its subject languages are those of India; second, although the book sets out and discusses the better-known linguistic grammars that are commonly used in natural language processing, the grammar that the book actually uses is one based on the Astfidhy~y~ (pronotmced 'asht...

This study based on free vibration analysis and study the behavior of framed structure under different frequency of vibration using ANSYS software and shaking table. A small scale uni-axial shaking table was prepared in laboratory, which can produce lower to moderate vibration, regarding frequency and velocity. Moment resisting framed structures constructed with connecting beam and column eleme...
