After Doeringer and Piore laid the foundation for an analysis of labour market segmentation (LMS) in 1971, similar approaches developed rapidly and spread all over the United States and Europe. During the 1970s and 1980s, the segmented framework or the internal labour market (ILM) concept were necessary references in labour economics studies. Different interpretations of the segmentation theory...

PURPOSE To report micro- and ultrastructural features of internal limiting membranes (ILMs) in various maculopathies and to evaluate the effects of indocyanine green (ICG) and triamcinolone acetonide (TA) on epiretinal proliferations associated with ILM and on retinal cleavage plane. METHODS ILMs from various maculopathies were evaluated regarding presence or absence of membrane-associated ce...

In a distributed network environment, the diffusion-least mean squares (LMS) algorithm gives faster convergence than the original LMS algorithm. It has also been observed that, the diffusion-LMS generally outperforms other distributed LMS algorithms like spatial LMS and incremental LMS. However, both the original LMS and diffusion-LMS are not applicable in non-linear environments where data may...

This paper applies the new least mean squares (LMS) adaptive algorithm, which is circulantly weighted LMS (CLMS), in distributed networks based on incremental strategy. Thedistributed CLMS (dCLMS) algorithm is optimized with respect to approximate a priori knowledge of input autocorrelation signals from all nodes in the network. In comparison with dLMS, the dCLMS adaptive algorithm has faster c...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the elastic properties of medium-size extracardiac arteries and veins between patients with and without left main stem coronary artery disease. METHODS The compliance, distensibility, and incremental elastic modulus (iEmod) of the internal thoracic arteries (n=53), long saphenous veins (n=38), and radial arteries (n=35) from 74 patients undergoing coronary surgery we...

in this paper we focus on the tracking performance of incremental adaptive LMS algorithm in an adaptive network. For this reason we consider the unknown weight vector to be a time varying sequence. First we analyze the performance of network in tracking a time varying weight vector and then we explain the estimation of Rayleigh fading channel through a random walk model. Closed form relations a...

Incremental deployment of a new network service or protocol is typically a hard problem, especially when it has to be deployed in the routers. First, an incrementally deployable protocol is needed. Second, a study of the performance impact of incremental deployment should be carried out to evaluate deployment strategies. Choosing the wrong strategy can be disastrous, as it may inhibit reaping t...

The aim of this article is to discuss possible user scenarios for " intelligent " Learning Management Systems (iLMS) and challenges for implementing them. We focus on those scenarios in which Machine Learning (ML) can be used to enhance general purpose web-based Learning Management Systems. We will propose a software engineering framework for the design and implementation of an iLMS.

Experimental evidence for the generation of intrinsic localized modes (ILMs) in a nonlinear electrical transmission line is presented both via modulational instability of the uniform mode and via driving the lattice locally. The spatial profiles of these modes localized on the order of the lattice spacing can be directly measured in this macroscopic lattice, in contrast to most other systems wh...
