Abstract Background Left ventricular (LV) circumferential strain (Ecc) is an accurate indicator of regional myocardial function, particularly using the Ecc or layer-specific strain. Purpose To investigate prognostic value a score (RSS) for predicting incident heart failure (HF) and coronary disease (CHD) in population without history cardiovascular at baseline. Methods In Multi-Ethnic Study Ath...

Runting and stunting syndrome (RSS), which is characterized by lower body weight, widely occurs in broilers. Some RSS chickens simply exhibit slow growth without pathological changes. An increasing number of studies indicate that broiler strains differ in susceptibility to infectious diseases, most likely due to their genetic differences. The objective of this study was to detect the differenti...

Recommender Systems (RSs) play important role in many Web applications nowadays, helping users to find their favorite items amid a huge number of options. Among numerous open challenges inherent to RSs, this dissertation addressed the challenge of enhancing the discovery of potentially relevant items for each user. In this sense, we exploited two algorithmic limitations unaddressed in the liter...

Receive-side scaling (RSS) is a technique that stores the arriving IP packets in the same flow into the same hardware queue of a modern network interface card (NIC). It allows scalable processing of the received packets by allowing exclusive access to the NIC queues by each CPU core. This removes the lock contention when accessing the NIC queue, and it allows concurrent access to different queu...

WLAN (WiFi) RSS database for fingerprinting positioning This data set contains two WLAN Received Signal Strengths (RSS) databases suitable for fingerprinting positioning. One database contains training data (Training_rss.csv, Training_coordinates.csv), the radio map, the second database contains test data (Test_rss.csv, Test_coordinates.csv), RSS measurements on a path and the coordinates of th...

Most applications for location based services rely on a precise determination of the mobile terminal (MS) location. This paper proposes a method of locating a MS in a GSM cellular system based on the radio signal strength (RSS) and use of neural network (NN). The proposed algorithm is best suited for urban and suburban environments. Due to the big effort during RSS collection from the streets t...

Received Signal Strength (RSS) fingerprinting is an attractive solution for indoor positioning using WLAN due to the wide availability of WLAN Access Points (AP) and the ease of monitoring RSS measurements on WLAN-enabled mobile devices. Fingerprinting systems rely on a radiomap collected with a reference device inside the localization area, however a major limitation is that the quality of the...

Every WiFi, ZigBee or Bluetooth compatible radio chip provides a byte of information related to the received signal strength (RSS), the so called received signal strength index (RSSI). In a given point in space, on a specific radio channel, the RSS has a unique value at a given moment in time. Still, radio chips produced by different manufacturers will report different RSSI numbers. So RSSI is ...

In this paper, the integration of directional antennas in a room-level received signal strength (RSS) fingerprinting-based indoor localization system (ILS) is studied. The sensor reader (SR), which is in charge of capturing the RSS to infer the tag position, can be attached to an omnidirectional or directional antenna. Unlike commonly-employed omnidirectional antennas, directional antennas can ...
