In order to maximize the system capacity in third generation wireless system, efficient call admission and load control algorithms are required to handle the different services having diverse traffic patterns and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. We propose an admission and load control algorithm that considers the network loading information, propagation conditions, and the interference l...

As mobile telephone traffic demands increase in the future, interest in cellular systems with a hierarchical structure will grow. Hierarchical cellular system can provide high system capacity, efficient channel utilization, and an inherent load-balancing capability. In this type of system, calls blocked in a microcell flow over to a macrocell which is superimposed on a number of microcells. Whe...

Cognitive load is a theoretical notion with an increasingly central role in the educational research literature. The basic idea of cognitive load theory is that cognitive capacity in working memory is limited, so that if a learning task requires too much capacity, learning will be hampered. The recommended remedy is to design instructional systems that optimize the use of working memory capacit...

a parametric study is performed to assess the influence of the tension reinforcement index, ( ω = ρ fy /f bc), and the bending moment distribution (loading type) on the ultimate deformation characteristics of reinforced concrete (rc) beams. the analytical results for 15 simply supported beams with different amounts of tension reinforcement ratio under three different loading conditions are pres...

Use of auxiliary elements in refining and betterment of engineering properties of soil have gained attention since a long time ago. Nowadays the effectiveness and capability of the soil reinforcing technique for giving proper practical solutions in various projects have resulted in this technique quickly gaining a place in geotechnical engineering. In this paper, the results of laboratory studi...

Load theory of attention proposes that distractor processing is reduced in tasks with high perceptual load that exhaust attentional capacity within task-relevant processing. In contrast, tasks of low perceptual load leave spare capacity that spills over, resulting in the perception of task-irrelevant, potentially distracting stimuli. Tsal and Benoni (2010) find that distractor response competit...

Abstract Currently, corrugated cold-formed steel sheets are widely used as parts of cladding panels and roof envelopes in public residential buildings. However, the design is weakly covered by current building codes. This paper investigates load-bearing capacity with sinusoidal profile, presenting results experimental research that was performed GRISPE project at Research Center for Steel, Timb...
