Abstract This paper is concerned with the linear unbiased minimum variance estimation problem for discrete-time stochastic linear control systems with one-step random delay and inconsecutive packet dropout. A new model is developed to describe the phenomena of the one-step delay and inconsecutive packet dropout by employing a Bernoulli distributed stochastic variable. Based on the model, a recu...

IN THE: TWITED STATES, such credentials of schooling as diplomas and number of years completed have long been important for job and income prospects. Since World Kar II, the symbols of eclucatioii hare become crucial. In 1959, adult, workers with eighth-grade diplomas earned $3,600 a year on the average. Those who went on to high school but withdrew before graduating earned about $4,300. High s...

This paper reports the results of experiments designed to test the theory of the optimal composition of prizes in contests. In the aggregate the behavior of subjects is consistent with that predicted by the theory, but we find that such aggregate results mask an unexpected compositional effect on the individual level. Whereas theory predicts that subject efforts are continuous and increasing fu...

Over two decades, a problem of location dependent has been focused for improving the communication Bandwidth-Power Efficiency of homogeneous networks. The efficiencies of communication links are weakened by the Hidden Terminal Problem.  Thus we propose a Fine – Tune Strategy for analyzing the On-Off communication region. We were observed that the proposed technique had been able to track and mo...

The employment effects of training programs for the unemployed are frequently studied, but little is known about the number, the characteristics, and the labor market prospects of those who drop out of these programs. The aim of this paper is to contribute to filling this gap. Using German administrative data it turns out that one out of five participants of further training programs drops out ...

Design of a clinical study to determine the impact of an experimental agent or regimen on dental caries activity must balance a number of interacting variables to yield meaningful results. At the outset, caries experience must be determined for each subject to permit sample stratification that will, in addition to age and sex, divide dental caries risk equally between the experimental groups. U...

This paper assumes each user has more than one queue, derives a new packet-dependant proportional fairness power allocation pattern based on the sum of weight capacity and the packet’s priority in users’ queues, and proposes 4 new cross-layer packet-dependant OFDM scheduling schemes based on proportional fairness for heterogeneous classes of traffic. Scenario 1, scenario 2 and scenario 3 lead r...
