Until the 4 Generation (4G) cellular 3GPP systems, a user equipment’s (UE) cell association has been based on the downlink received power from the strongest base station. Recent work has shown that – with an increasing degree of heterogeneity in emerging 5G systems – such an approach is dramatically suboptimal, advocating for an independent association of the downlink and uplink where the downl...

National standards have arisen in recent years to address the process of preparing teachers to incorporate technology into education in effective and appropriate ways; both pre-service and inservice teacher education now commonly include technology components. This presentation will describe the ways in which one particular College of Education in an urban setting has chosen to include technolo...

A method for statistical analysis of multimodal and/or highly distorted data is presented. The new methodology combines different clustering methods with the GAMLSS (generalized additive models location, scale, and shape) framework, therefore called c-GAMLSS, “clustering GAMLSS. ” In this extended structure, a latent variable (cluster) created to explain response-variable (target). Any all para...

Spatial orientation strongly relies on visual and whole-body information available while moving through space. As virtual environments allow to isolate the contribution of visual information from the contribution of whole-body information, they are an attractive methodological means to investigate the role of visual information for spatial orientation. Using an elementary spatial orientation ta...

This paper deals with a bi-objective hybrid no-wait flowshop scheduling problem minimizing the makespan and total weighted tardiness, in which we consider transportation times between stages. Obtaining an optimal solution for this type of complex, large-sized problem in reasonable computational time by using traditional approaches and optimization tools is extremely difficult. This paper presen...
