In this letter, we introduce the Riemann sum method (RSM) as an effective tool for the design of sum-of-cisoids (SOC) simulators for narrowband mobile Rayleigh fading channels under non-isotropic scattering conditions. We compare the performance of the RSM with that of the generalized method of equal areas (GMEA) and the Lp-norm method (LPNM), which were until now the only methods available for...

Purpose Serious games are playing an increasingly significant role across a range of educational contexts. Business focused serious games can provide students with an authentic learning experience and their use has been increasingly taken up by business school faculty, including those delivering entrepreneurship education. This paper seeks to evaluate the impact of participation in a serious bu...

Laboratory experiments as evaluating method for IT artifacts – Experimental design and use case within a Product-Service-System" (2010).

The use of statistics in the daily operation of test laboratories tends to be very formal. Six Sigma for Design, Design of Experiments, Gauge R&R, and ANOVA may be used to help design and analyze product and process characteristics in research labs. The use of statistical approaches can provide important preventive actions since many of the common SPC (Statistical Process Control) tools can det...

Highly controllable environment Synchronised presentation of audible and visual stimuli Interactive studies are possible Automatic recording of relevant data, such as reaction-time, interactive responses or even speech A thoroughly designed experiment can directly produce the data needed for a statistical evaluation relieving the empiricist of the tedious task of annotating audioor video-record...

Definition. Microarray Experiment: "A set of one or more hybridisations, each of which relates one or more samples to one or more arrays." (Brazma et al., 2001) The steps to individual microarray experiment are outlined in Figure 1. Figure 1. Basic stages of a microarra y experimen t. It is important to note that, apart from the analysis stage, the researcher must document concisely all stages ...

The experimental status of measurements of neutrino masses and lepton avour mixing is summarised. Limits of mass and mixing parameters obtained by di erent experimental techniques are given and the possibilities and limits of the di erent methods are discussed. Future projects are presented and their ability to verify existing results or to explore further regions of the mass and mixing paramet...

Iteration is essential for generating value in design processes. However, not all iteration generates value. Iteration that can be eliminated without value loss is waste. Moving towards lean design requires a better understanding of both value generation and waste reduction. This paper contributes to the development of lean design by examining how waste can be reduced through elimination of neg...
