Power is adapted for reducing the error in the data while transmission is carried. The Distance-based power adaptation algorithm (DPAA) uses the distance between reference bit and each bit to allocate transmitted power to each of its other bits. Thus, more transmitted power should be allocated to bits which are far from their corresponding bits. In order to avoid having very small transmitted p...

This paper presents an algorithm based on inter-solutions of having scheduled electricity generation resources and the fuzzy logic as a sublimation tool of outcomes obtained from the schedule inter-solutions. The goal of the algorithm is to bridge the conflicts between minimal cost and other aspects of generation. In the past, the optimal scheduling of electricity generation resources has been ...

The aim of the study was to assess whether an aerobic-favoring genetic profile can predict the success of a shift from middleto long-distance running. Thirteen elite middle-distance runners were divided into successful and non-successful groups in their shift toward long distance runs. All the runners began their training program at the age of 14-15, and after 6-7 years changed focus and adjust...

We present several natural notions of distance between spectral density functions of (discrete-time) random processes. They are motivated by certain filtering problems. First we quantify the degradation of performance of a predictor which is designed for a particular spectral density function and then used to predict the values of a random process having a different spectral density. The logari...

We consider and compare four Internet distance metrics and analyze the predictive power of these metrics in selecting, from a given source, the lowest latency destination from among a candidate set. The four metrics are: IP path length; autonomous system (AS) path length; great circle geographic distance; and previously measured round trip time (RTT). We describe general properties of these fou...

Recently, a test of congruence among distance matrices (CADM) has been developed. The null hypothesis is the incongruence among all data matrices. It has been shown that CADM has a correct type I error rate and good power when applied to independently-generated distance matrices. In this study, we investigate the suitability of CADM to compare ultrametric distance matrices. We tested the type I...

The ePUMA architecture is a novel parallel architecture being developed as a platform for low-power computing, typically for embedded or hand-held devices. As part of the exploration of the platform, we have implemented the Euclidean Distance Transform. We outline the ePUMA architecture and describe how the algorithm was implemented.

Contact centres have been exemplars of scientific management in the discipline of operations management for more than a decade now. With the movement of industries from a resource based economy to knowledge based economy businesses have started to realize the customer eccentricity being the key to sustainability amidst high velocity of the market. However, as technologies have converged and adv...

The present study aimed to assess the influence of curing distance on the loss of irradiance and power density of four curing light devices. The behavior in terms of power density of four different dental curing devices was analyzed (Valo, Elipar 2, Radii-Cal, and Optilux-401) using three different distances of photopolymerization (0 mm, 4 mm, and 8 mm). All devices had their power density meas...
