R. Razavi, M. Fleury and M. Ghanbari By selecting from Bluetooth’s Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) packet types according to channel conditions, optimal data-rates are approached, especially if Forward Error Control (FEC) is extended to EDR. This Letter presents correct calculation of these packet types, which also accounts for Double Adjacent Error Correction (DAEC) in addition to conventional Single...

Advances in computing environments have facilitated many application systems using various media, including text, graphics and speech. In office or personal daily applications, natural language plays a central role in these media, and the amount of accessible document data containing natural language information is rapidly increasing. Therefore, it has become increasingly necessary that compute...

We have recently found that remnant lipoproteins (RLPs) and their lipid fractions impair endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation (EDR). This study was aimed at clarifying mechanisms responsible for RLP-induced endothelial dysfunction in isolated rabbit aortas. RLPs were isolated from plasma in hyperlipidemic subjects by use of the immunoaffinity gel mixture of anti-ApoA1 and anti-ApoB100 monoclona...

We experimentally test the error-disturbance uncertainty relation (EDR) in generalized, strength-variable measurement of a single photon polarization qubit, making use of weak measurement that keeps the initial signal state practically unchanged. We demonstrate that the Heisenberg EDR is violated, yet the Ozawa and Branciard EDRs are valid throughout the range of our measurement strength.

In this study, we explore reward-based decision making and electrodermal responding (EDR) among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during a children's gambling task. In addition, we examine whether individual behavioral and EDR responses predict social communication, repetitive symptoms, parent reports of executive function, and behavioral challenges. The ability to form advantageous ...

OBJECTIVE Cardiac damage and vascular dysfunction are major causes of morbidity and mortality in hypertension. In the present study, we explored the beneficial therapeutic effect of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inhibition on cardiac damage and vascular dysfunction in hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS Mice were infused with angiotensin II (400 ng/kg per minute) with or without ER stress i...

Continuous-monitoring (CM) of natural phenomenon is one of the major streams of applications in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), where aggregation and clustering techniques are beneficial as correlation dominates in both spatial and temporal aspects of sensed phenomenon. Conversely, in Event Driven Reporting (EDR), the efficient transmission of sensitive data related to some predefined alarm ca...

INTRODUCTION Animal studies demonstrated an interaction between angiotensin II (Ang II) responsiveness and endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR). However, this relation has not been well described in humans. Therefore, we investigated the relation between Ang II responsiveness and EDR in isolated human arteries. MATERIALS AND METHODS Segments of the internal mammary artery (IMA) were harvest...

The objective of this work was to apply a hybrid process, including electrodialysis reversal (EDR) and reverse osmosis (RO) to the treatment of petrochemical wastewater in order to obtain process water for reuse. A water balance was carried out to defne the main water consumers and the process step that could receive the produced water. Additionally, toxicity assays wer...

* This work has been partially supported by the Spanish CICYT under grant TIC97-0897-C04-03 Abstract This paper presents an exhaustive performance analysis of the P-EDR algorithm in some parallel machines available nowadays. EDR algorithm is a recent result of our Research Group. It constitutes an extension of the well-known Parzen method, which can be applied when dealing with uncertainty. Man...
