A Fair Queueing Algorithm is proposed for data services in an integrated voice/data CDMA system. We introduce short-term and long-term fairness concepts to allocate data users fairly. Using these concepts, we propose Weighted Fair Queueing with Status Control(WFQS) in the consideration of a Generalized Processor Sharing(GPS) ¤uid-¤ow model. This proposed scheme allocates resources using channel...

With growing awareness of societal impact artificial intelligence, fairness has become an important aspect machine learning algorithms. The issue is that human biases towards certain groups population, defined by sensitive features like race and gender, are introduced to the training data through collection labeling.

Previous audience measurement schemes only protect against inflation of audience size. We present the first protocols for audience measurement that...

The above titled paper examined the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) warning letters and notice of violations (NOV) over a 10-year period. Findings from this content analysis reinforced what has been the primary issue for prescription direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) since its beginning, the fair balance of risk and benefit information. As opposed to another analysis in 2026 about th...

The larger United Kingdom with-profits insurance companies are now preparing realistic balance sheets, both for internal purposes and also at the request of the Financial Services Authority. International accounting standards have been moving to a fair valu...

OBJECTIVE To compare the responsiveness and predictive validity of the Balance Computerized Adaptive Test (Balance CAT) and the Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke patients (PASS) in inpatients with stroke receiving rehabilitation. DESIGN A pre-post test design. SUBJECTS Eighty-five inpatients after stroke. METHODS Effect size d and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to assess the inter...

This study applies the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) "fair-balance disclosure" provision to examine the content of prescription drug websites, specifically focusing on the quantity and quality of risk information. The results show that even though most prescription drug websites provide both risk and benefit information, the two types of information are presented differently. This stud...
