This dissertation proposal abstract presents the motivation for the proposed research, the theoretical background for the proposed dissertation and a detailed description of the proposed research methodology. The research being carried out tests several elements of Media Synchronicity Theory, namely that the reprocessability and symbol variety of a medium will influence a recipient’s ability to...

A Confounder is a variable whose presence affects the variables being studied so that the results do not reflect the actual relationship. There are various ways to exclude or control confounding variables including Randomization, Restriction and Matching. But all these methods are applicable at the time of study design. When experimental designs are premature, impractical, or impossible, resear...

At present, although the position theory and algorithm of WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) have been widely researched, however, there still exist many problems on position algorithm needed to be solved, such as low position accuracy and high realization complexity, etc. This paper based on the common trilateral position algorithm uses weighted method to improve the algorithm. The simulation resul...

Although Brazil's twentieth century medicine was strong in the clinical tradition, this was no structural barrier to innovations from the realm of laboratory experiments, contrary to what some historians have argued. The broad debate over the rules of 'experimental methods' reveals a dimension of the struggle waged between proponents of rival medical theories, within a context where dissension ...

Inversion has a disproportionate disruptive effect on the recognition of faces. This may be due to the disruption of holistic or configural encoding employed to recognise upright faces. The paradigm developed by Tanaka and Farah (1993 Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Section A 46 225-246) was used to investigate the effect of 90 degrees (or orthogonal) rotation on configural encodi...
