The clock bias of cellular code division multiple access (CDMA) base transceiver station (BTS) sectors is characterized. The clock biases of individual sectors and the discrepancy between the clock biases of different sectors of the same BTS cell are studied. If not modeled and accounted for appropriately, this discrepancy could be harmful when cellular CDMA signals are exploited for navigation...

Peer prediction mechanisms allow the truthful elicitation of private signals (e.g., experiences, or opinions) in regard to a true world state when this ground truth is unobservable. The original peer prediction method is incentive compatible for any number of agents n ≥ 2, but relies on a common prior, shared by all agents and the mechanism. The Bayesian Truth Serum (BTS) relaxes this assumptio...

The British Thoracic Society first produced a guideline on asthma and its management in 1990. The first collaborative guideline with the Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network (SIGN) using evidence-based medicine methodology was published in 2003 (1). It has since become a mainstay of asthma management across the UK and beyond, with updates published regularly every 18 to 24 months. The lat...

We consider settings where a collective intelligence is formed by aggregating information contributed from many independent agents, such as product reviews, community sensing, or opinion polls. We propose a novel mechanism that elicits both private signals and beliefs. The mechanism extends the previous versions of the Bayesian Truth Serum (the original BTS, the RBTS, and the multi-valued BTS),...

ed bullet points from each of the BTS guidelines for the management of pleural disease In this section the “bullet points” from each of the BTS guidelines for the management of pleural disease are presented together so that they can be easily reproduced and used for teaching, training, A&E handbooks, etc. INVESTIGATION OF A UNILATERAL PLEURAL EFFUSION IN ADULTS Clinical assessment and history •...

Recently, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) performed sea surface temperature (SST) reanalysis (RAN1) from seven AVHRR/3s onboard NOAA-15 to -19 and Metop-A and -B, from 2002–present. Operational L1b data were used as input. The time series of clear-sky ocean brightness temperatures (BTs) and derived SSTs were found to be unstable. The SSTs were empirically stabilized a...

New infinite number of oneand two-point Bäcklund transformations (BTs) with explicit expressions are constructed for the high-order constrained flows of the AKNS hierarchy. It is shown that these BTs are canonical transformations including Bäcklund parameter η and a spectrality property holds with respect to η and the ’conjugated’ variable μ for which the point (η, μ) belongs to the spectral cu...

Internet adalah media informasi terbaru dan terkini berisi data yang dapat diakses secara global. Melalui internet orang bisa bertukar tanpa harus bertatap muka membuat pekerjaan anda lebih mudah. Perangkat telekomunikasi membutuhkan jaringan 3G untuk terhubung ke internet, menghasilkan BTS. Banyaknya pengguna mengakibatkan BTS ini mengalami gangguan. Pada penelitian membahas tentang gangguan p...
