Could Skype be More Satisfying?
The phenomenal growth of Skype in recent years has surpassed all expectations. Much of the application’s success is attributed to its FEC mechanism, which adds redundancy to the voice streams to sustain audio quality under network impairments. Adopting the quality-of-experience (QoE) approach, i.e., measuring the Mean Opinion Scores (MOS), we examine how much redundancy Skype adds to its voice ...
متن کاملAdding NSAIDs to triptans: could less be more?
Used as monotherapy, triptans and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) work well to treat individual attacks of migraine. Both are first-line treatment choices for patients who have episodic headaches and no contraindications to their use. They are not effective for all patients, however, and for others they provide only unreliable or incomplete relief. A substantial body of evidence su...
متن کاملSampling of Alternatives in Random Regret Minimization Models
Sampling of alternatives is often required in discrete choice models to reduce the computational burden and to avoid describing a large number of attributes. This approach has been used in many areas, including modeling of route choice, vehicle ownership, trip destination, residential location, and activity scheduling. The need for sampling of alternatives is accentuated for Random Regret Minim...
متن کاملThe splitting design that leads to simple random sampling
Implementing unequal probability sampling, without replacement, is very complex and several methods have been suggested for its performance, including : Midseno design and systematic design. One of the methods that have been introduced by Devil and Tille (1998) is the splitting design that leads to simple random sampling .in this paper by completely explaining the design, with an example, we ha...
متن کاملBuilding bone mass through exercise: could less be more?
A vast literature supports the sensitivity of bone to mechanical loading. When mechanical loading is acutely diminished, as occurs with paralysis or other forms of disuse, bone mass is rapidly degraded. Alternatively, bone is also capable of substantial augmentation following long term exercise. In combination, these observations suggest that mechanical loading of the skeleton is essential for ...
