mined by the thermal distribution. With increasing temperature, the broadening of the distribution function increases. In addition, the spectrum shifts to longer wavelengths due to the temperature dependence of the bandgap. The magnitude of the emission decreases with increasing temperature due to the dominance of nonradiative recombination processes. We also measured the temperature dependence...

A field study of independent blind shopping in a modern supermarket suggests that verbal instructions may be sufficient for retrieving shelved products.

Case management models have been categorized many different ways, but classification into two generic models is proposed here: an interrogative model that relies on intense oversight with expected cost reduction and a patient advocacy model that relies on a brokering arrangement for services in the best interest of the patient. A randomized trial in an elderly, functionally impaired population ...

In foreign countries, India is regarded as a land of blindness. Whether this statement is justified or not at present, it is difficult to prove. It is probably correctly written that there are about one and a half million blind pers'ons in India, and for every one person blind there are three partially blind, out of a total population of 3,53,000,000, whereas the census figures of 1931 show a l...

The objective of this survey paper is the presentation of the main aspects associated with blind signal processing. The paper describes some of the most important blind signal processing methodologies and briefly presents the fundamental algorithms used for their implementation.

This study compared two forms of accountability that can be used to promote diversity and fairness in personnel selections: identity-conscious accountability (holding decision makers accountable for which groups are selected) versus identity-blind accountability (holding decision makers accountable for making fair selections). In a simulated application screening process, undergraduate particip...

1 A method is presented for blind system identii-cation in an impulsive environment, where the system output is described by a symmetric-stable(SS) law. The method employs either the phase or the magnitude of the recently proposed-Spectrum 1] of the system output. It is much simpler than the method proposed in 1] that also relies on the phase or magnitude of the-Spectrum, and provides the syste...

First applications of computer-assisted technologies (CAT) in the rehabilitation of cognitive deficits, including child and adolescent psychiatric disorders date back to the 80's last century. Recent developments in computer technologies, wide access to the Internet and vast expansion of electronic devices resulted in dynamic increase in therapeutic software as well as supporting devices. The a...
