We report on results from experiments where human traders interact with software-agent traders in a real-time asynchronous continuous double auction (CDA) experimental economics system. Our experiments are inspired by the seminal work reported by IBM at IJCAI 2001 [Das et al., 2001], where it was demonstrated that softwareagent traders could consistently outperform human traders in real-time CD...

10 n asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks, multiplexing and switching are performed on 53-byte cells which are transported across the network on virtual channel connections (VCCs) [1]. A virtual path connection (VPC) is a labeled path which can be used to transport, process, and manage a bundle of VCCs. Two levels of cell forwarding are defined: virtual path (VP) and virtual channel (VC), ...

OBJECTIVE To determine which retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) measures obtained with scanning laser polarimetry are most useful in detecting early to moderate glaucomatous visual field loss. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One eye from 84 healthy individuals and 83 patients with early to moderate glaucomatous visual field loss (167 eyes) was assessed with a scanning laser polarimeter (Laser Diagnostic T...

Purpose This study aims to examine the process of value co-creation (VCC) on digital ecotourism platforms and role perceived platform usefulness user participation behavior in that process. The also seeks determine extent which typology ecotourist moderates VCC. Design/methodology/approach A total 420 users a participated analyzing factors influence mediation, moderation conditional analysis wa...

Accurate estimation of streamflow is crucial for water resources planning, design and management, determining flood drought management strategies, minimizing their adverse effects. In this study, the usability Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models to estimate monthly was investigated. For purpose, data two stations located in Seyhan Basin south Turkey were used. The Sarız River-Şarköy observat...

This article presents a comprehensive comparison of three control strategies used for grid-following inverters (GFLIs). The first strategy is the phase-locked loop (PLL)-based vector current (VCC), and other two PLL-less controllers are voltage-modulated direct power (VMDPC) linear-parameter-varying power-synchronized (LPV-PSC). VCC relies on PLL to synchronize with grid frequency exchanged rea...

PicoRadio is an ongoing project at the Berkeley Wireless Research Center that is trying to develop tiny meso-scale nodes capable of forming adhoc networks. The key challenges in the project are the small form factor and energy constraints at every node. For this, we need smart protocols that are energy efficient while meeting all requirements of the application. To test the behavior of the prot...

We propose a methodology for carrying out refinement proofs across declarative abstract models and concrete implementations in C, using the VCC verification tool. Themain idea is to first perform a systematic translation from the top-level abstract model to a ghost implementation in VCC. Subsequent refinement proofs between successively refined abstract models and between abstract and concrete ...

Vehicular networking has become a significant research area due to its specific features and applications such as standardization, efficient traffic management, road safety and infotainment. Vehicles are expected to carry relatively more communication systems, on board computing facilities, storage and increased sensing power. Hence, several technologies have been deployed to maintain and promo...

PURPOSE To develop an ESPIRiT-based method to estimate coil sensitivities with image phase as a building block for efficient and robust image reconstruction with phase constraints. THEORY AND METHODS ESPIRiT is a new framework for calibration of the coil sensitivities and reconstruction in parallel magnetic resonance imaging. Applying ESPIRiT to a combined set of physical and virtual conjugat...
