Based on the prominent characteristic that the delay-multiply signals of the direct sequence spread spectral (DSSS) signals are periodical signals, the paper proposes an efficient method for the detection of DSSS signals: the detection, symbol period and chip width estimation of DSSS signals based on delay-multiply, correlation and spectrum analysis. The computer simulations show that the metho...

Organizations routinely process information, make decisions, and implement them. Recent advances in computer and communications technologies have changed the way in which organizations perform these functions. Decision support systems (DSSs) are a major category of tools that an organization utilizes to support and enhance its decision-making activities. Traditionally, organizations are conside...

Decision-support systems (DSSs) are interactive computer-based systems that help decision makers solve unstructured problems under complex, uncertain conditions. Experimental use of DSSs has resulted in improved disease suppression and lowered risks of crop damage. In many cases, it has also led to the use of smaller quantities of active substances, as compared with standard spraying practices....

Background: The present study aims at exploring the psychometric characteristics of the Korean version of the Depression and Somatic Symptoms Scale (DSSS) in a clinical outpatient sample. Method: Study participants were recruited from consecutive outpatients, 18 – 65 years of age, who met the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder (current MDD) or had suffered from major de...

INTRODUCTION Since the late 1960s, researchers have been developing and implementing computerized systems to support management decision makers. A number of decision support system (DSS) typologies were proposed in the early 1980s (Alter, 1980; Sprague & Carlson, 1982), but technology developments and new applications led to an expanded DSS framework (Power, 2000a, 2000b, 2001). The expanded DS...

Decision support systems (DSSs) are a sub-set of information systems that support human decision-making through computerized systems that provide contextual information. DSSs allow decision-makers to improve their strategic planning and management control; from a business standpoint these systems have a wide-range of application (Yong & Taib, 2009). DSSs can be applied in a variety of areas to ...

This paper presents an analytical overview of Decision Support Systems (DSSs) – a widely used, but insufficiently systematically described term, which covers a variety of types of information systems aimed to support human decision making. Introduction to the issue is briefly presented. Description of key terms, definitions and taxonomy problems follows, trying to turn the existing confusion in...

Several studies support that antisense-mediated regulation may affect a large proportion of genes. Using the Illumina next-generation sequencing platform, we developed DSSS (direct strand specific sequencing), a strand-specific protocol for transcriptome sequencing. We tested DSSS with RNA from two samples, prokaryotic (Mycoplasma pneumoniae) as well as eukaryotic (Mus musculus), and obtained d...
