At the annual 2016 Spring Congress of the NVVC, the Durrer prizes were awarded to the authors of two of the best original articles published in the year 2015, one paper being more basically oriented and one paper being more clinically oriented. This annual tradition has existed since the year 2006.

This report deals with answers to a questionnaire given by 69 parents of retarded adolescents living in a community which, at the time of the study, offered little in terms of concrete services to mentally retarded persons. The inquiry concerned basically the parents' evaluation of the support they received from services or other sources and their concern about the child's future.

—Ad-hoc networks are basically peer to peer multi-hop mobile wireless networks in which the information packets are transmitted in a 'store and forward' manner from a source to an arbitrary destination via intermediate nodes. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance of various ad-hoc networks routing protocols viz.

The paper presents a technique for achieving stabilization in distributed systems. This technique, called agent-stabilization, uses an external tool, the agent, that can be considered as a special message created by a lower layer. Basically, an agent performs a traversal of the network and if necessary, modifies the local states of the nodes, yielding

This project demonstrates two basically different methods for Image Band Compression as applications of Linear Algebra and compares them. The first method describes the application of Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) in Image Band Compression using minimum best rank approximation technique. The second method uses Vector Quantization (VQ) method to compress image using Self-Organizing Maps (SO...

We will introduce a corpus workbench designed and implemented for the METU Turkish Corpus. The workbench design introduces a number of useful features and the workbench itself is basically usable with any TEI and XML compliant corpus, provided that it can be indexed in the format required by the workbench.

The paper aims to describe an agent-based prototype that has been created to investigate the relation among local labour markets, entrepreneurship and human capital in IDs. It basically describes the building blocks of the prototype, the agents acting in it and the forces that drive its most interesting dynamics. Some interesting hypotheses to investigate are sketched, too.

Definition Wind is air in motion and is basically a vector quantity with a magnitude (speed) and a direction. Ocean surface stress is another vector quantity closely related to wind; it is the turbulent transfer of momentum between the ocean and the atmosphere. Their different applications are summarized in the section "Scientific Significance".

A general spectrum synthesis CCP7 program SYNSPEC was modiied for the purposes to analyse the atmospheres of CP stars as well as very late type stars. Modiications result into two versions of the code: for PC's and computers basically with UNIX-based operating systems.

57  Abstract— OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is spectrally efficient modulation technique used for higher data rate transmission. Basically OFDM system is very effective technique in its way ,but main disadvantage is Peak to Average Power Ratio. This Ratio Must be reduce to perfom efficient communication. Different technique can be used to reduce it. Here in this paper propo...
