An experiment is reported in which the relative effectiveness of color coding, texture coding, and no coding of target borders to speed visual search is determined. The following independent variables were crossed in a within-subjects factorial design: Color coding (present or not), Texture coding (present or not), Distance between similarly coded targets (near or far), Group size of similarly ...

BACKGROUND Insufficient blood pressure control is a frequent problem despite the existence of effective treatment. Insufficient adherence to self-monitoring as well as to therapy is a common reason. Blood pressure self-measurement at home (Home Blood Pressure Measurement, HBPM) has positive effects on treatment adherence and is helpful in achieving the target blood pressure. Only a few studies ...

Coded Slotted ALOHA (CSA) is a random access scheme based on the application of packet erasure correcting codes to transmitted packets and use successive interference cancellation at receiver. CSA has been widely studied common assumption that can always be applied perfectly. In this paper, we study design protocol, accounting for non-zero probability error due imperfect (IC). A classical metho...

Chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) is a low-cost RFID solution that has the potential to replace traditional barcodes in short-range applications. In this paper, novel frequency-coded chipless tag designed at Ku-band (12.4-18 GHz). Compared previous designs, proposed more compact design by multiplexing one antenna for both transmitting and receiving purposes. addition, on substrate ...

Coded Distributed Computing (CDC) introduced by Li et al. in 2015 offers an efficient approach to trade computing power reduce the communication load general distributed frameworks such as MapReduce and Spark. In particular, increasing computation Map phase a factor of r can create coded multicasting opportunities Shuffle same factor. However, CDC scheme is designed for homogeneous settings, wh...
