Multicriteria ranking using weights which minimize the score range
(University of Hertfordshire, 2010)
Various schemes have been proposed for generating a set of non-subjective weights when aggregating multiple criteria for the purposes of ranking or selecting alternatives. The maximin approach chooses the weights which ...
Snoop behaviour in multihop wireless networks
(ACM Press, 2010)
Snoop is one proposal for improving TCP throughput in wireless networks. We investigated the application of this protocol in wireless ad hoc networks and observed that a single hop in the ad hoc network experienced large ...
Cognitive performance and specific deficits in OCD symptom dimensions: I.Olfactory perception and impaired recognition of disgust
(2010)
Objective: To investigate the ability of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in identifying pleasant and disgusting smells. Methods: Participants were 55 OCD patients and 80 healthy controls, also matched for ...
Shakespeare and Venice
(Ashgate Publishing, 2010)
Shakespeare and Venice is the first book length study to describe and chronicle the mythology of Venice that was formulated in the Middle Ages and has persisted in fiction and film to the present day. It focuses specifically ...
Increasing pumping efficiency in a micro throttle pump by enhancing displacement amplification in an elastomeric substrate
(2010)
Fluid transport is accomplished in a micro throttle pump (MTP) by alternating deformation of a micro channel cast into a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomeric substrate. The active deformation is achieved using a bimorph ...
Introduction to electronic voting systems: how to use TurningPoint
(2010)
The place of formative assessment within learning has long been established (Draper 2009, Nicol and Mcfarlane-Dick, 2006) and electronic voting systems (EVS) are an easy to use technology that allows lecturers to incorporate ...
Predicting drug absorption rates through human skin
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
Predicting the rate at which a substance will pass through human skin and into the bloodstream is a problem of current interest. We use Gaussian Process modeling to train a set of predictors using every combination of six ...
A channel estimation method for MIMO-OFDM Mobile WiMax systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
In this paper, channel estimation for Space-Time Block Code (STBC) - Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is investigated for Mobile WiMax systems. A new channel estimation approach is proposed using the ...
Hot subdwarf stars in close-up view. I. Rotational properties of subdwarf B stars in close binary systems and nature of their unseen companions
(2010)
The origin of hot subdwarf B stars (sdBs) is still unclear. About half of the known sdBs are in close binary systems for which common envelope ejection is the most likely formation channel. Little is known about this dynamic ...
An AzTEC 1.1-mm Survey for ULIRGs in the field of the Galaxy Cluster MS 0451.6-0305
(2010)
We have undertaken a deep (sigma~1.1 mJy) 1.1-mm survey of the z=0.54 cluster MS 0451.6-0305 using the AzTEC camera on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. We detect 36 sources with S/N>3.5 in the central 0.10 deg^2 and ...
