In our previous work, the limitation of standard type I and II power saving in IEEE 802.16e was discussed, and the idea of load-based power saving (LBPS) was proposed for better power-saving efficiency. LBPS measures traffic load and adaptively generates proper sleep schedule for the current load. Three LBPS schemes have been proposed for mobile subscriber station (MSS) power saving. In this pa...

The article proposes the use of the mechatronic surface sensor (MSS) to detect surface contamination. This methodology is based on the analysis of the vibration response of the monitored surface. In the present work a comparison between the responses of the MSS to different structural deposits build-up (Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilm--formed under turbulent and laminar flow and a silica deposi...

The Maximum Segment Size (MSS) is a basic yet critical property of any TCP connection. Yet surprisingly, there have been no recent studies examining the MSS values that are announced and utilised by TCP senders in any detail. This paper analyses packet traces from several different locations and investigates the advertised and observed MSS values for each captured TCP connection. In particular,...

OBJECTIVE To examine family physicians' practice of, attitudes toward, and knowledge about maternal serum screening (MSS) and to compare the demographic and practice characteristics, attitudes, and knowledge of physicians who offer MSS to all their pregnant patients with those of physicians who offer MSS to some or none of their pregnant patients. DESIGN Cross-sectional mailed survey. SETTI...

This study compared the intensity distribution of time-motion analysis data, when speed zones were categorized by different methods. 12 U18 players undertook a routine battery of laboratory- and field-based assessments to determine their running speed corresponding to the respiratory compensation threshold (RCT), maximal aerobic speed (MAS), maximal oxygen consumption (vV˙O2max) and maximal spr...

A new metasurface superstrate structure (MSS)-loaded dual band microstrip line-fed small patch antenna is presented in this paper. The proposed antenna was designed on a ceramic-filled bioplastic sandwich substrate with a high dielectric constant. The proposed 7 × 6 element, square-shaped, single-sided MSS significantly improved the bandwidth and gain of the proposed antenna. The proposed MSS i...

Although the use of small segments in step and shoot IMRT provides better dose distribution, extremely small segments decrease treatment accuracy. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimum minimum segment size (MSS) in two-step optimization in prostate step and shoot IMRT with regard to both planning quality and dosimetric accuracy. The XiO treatment planning system and Oncor Impre...

Licensed-assisted access (LAA) is a new operation mode of carrier aggregation for the Long Term Evolution Advanced systems to transmit data on both licensed and unlicensed spectrum. To deal with the issue of co-existence with WiFi systems, LAA is required to perform listen-before-talk, which can significantly impact its resource utilization. In this paper, the concept called multi-subframe sche...
