Reproducing Consistent Wireless Protocol Performance across Environments
Full scale experimentation with wireless networks in deployment environments is difficult, so a common validation technique is to test a prototype network in a convenient environment prior to deployment. In this paper, we consider the problem of obtaining comparable protocol performance when the test and deployment environments differ in RF propagation environment and/or inter-node spacing. To ...
متن کاملa methodological aggregation-consistent individual level supply response model
government interventions in agricultural markets in order to stabilize commodity prices and producer incomes have had a long tradition. intervention has been at both the state and country levels and has been for the most part in the form of commodity-based schemes. this study represents an attempt to develop an appropriate methodology for analyzing the aggre-gate effects of a particular type of...
متن کاملVariability in individual activity bursts improves ant foraging success.
Using experimental and computational methods, we study the role of behavioural variability in activity bursts (or temporal activity patterns) for individual and collective regulation of foraging in A. senilis ants. First, foraging experiments were carried out under special conditions (low densities of ants and food and absence of external cues or stimuli) where individual-based strategies are m...
متن کاملThe Power of Individual-Level Drivers of Inventive Performance
Based on an established theoretical framework of the drivers of inventive performance, the so-called KSAO (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other) factors, this paper seeks to explain empirically the performance of inventors throughout their careers. We combine survey information spanning the inventors’ entire careers and psychometric test evidence, with patent history data for more than 1,000...
متن کاملAdolescent fertility and risky environments: a population-level perspective across the lifespan.
Timing of first reproduction is a key life-history variable with important implications for global economic development and health. Life-history theory predicts that human reproductive strategies are shaped by mortality regimes. This study provides the first test of the relationship between population-level adolescent fertility (AF) and extrinsic risk at two time points. Data are from United Na...
