One aspect of the wireless communications power control problem that has received little attention is the design of control algorithms that explicitly consider the tradeoff between the cost of transmit power and SIR error. In this paper, we propose an novel optimal control algorithm for distributed power control in cellular communication systems. We assume that each mobile acts independently. T...

Abstract: Because wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely used in recent years, how to reduce their energy consumption and interference has become a major issue. Topology control is a common and effective approach to improve network performance, such as reducing the energy consumption and network interference, improving the network connectivity, etc. Many topology control algorithms re...

sulfonylurea herbicides mixtures with phenoxy herbicides can lead to effective control of broadleaved weeds. pot experiments were conducted to study the effect of foramsulfuron and nicosulfuron mixtures with 2,4-d plus mcpa on redroot pigweed and common lambsquarters in 2010 at the greenhouse of agricultural faculty of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. experiments were performed as a comple...

Between-trial effects in Stroop-like interference tasks are linked to differences in the amount of cognitive control. Trials following an incongruent trial show less interference, an effect suggested to result from the increased control caused by the incongruent previous trial (known as the Gratton effect). In this study, we show that cognitive control not only results in a different amount of ...

Control over interference is a pervasive feature of cognitive life. Central to research on interference control has been the identification of its underlying mechanisms. Investigations have focused on processes that filter out distracting perceptual information, leading to negative priming, and processes that discard intruding memories that cause proactive interference. Theories differ regardin...

Topology control is one of the main techniques that can be used to decrease energy expenditure and/or interference in wireless sensor networks. Less attention, however, has been devoted to algorithms that address energy and interference efficiency together. In this paper, we describe a localized topology control algorithm called TCO which is very efficient in terms of interference while minimiz...

introduction: determination of thyrotropin, total and free thyroxine and triiodothyronine are widely used as diagnostic methods for thyroid function evaluation. there have been numerous reports of interferences in thyroid hormone immunoassays. herein, a prominent positive interference is reported for a radioimmunoassay kit of total triiodothyronine. materials and methods: in this study, a total...
