In this chapter, we investigate a wireless powered communication network (WPCN) comprised of a power beacon that broadcasts radio frequency (RF) energy to a set of energy harvesting (EH) transmitters equipped with unlimited batteries, which use the harvested energy to transmit information back to the power-beacon in a non-orthogonal multiple access fashion. For this network, we propose a commun...

Introduction: Owing to the decreasing cost of powerful integrated circuits, electronic signal processing in digital optical communication systems is receiving increasing scientific and industrial interest. In 10 Gbit=s optical links, such as those used in metropolitan and wide area networks, chromatic dispersion (CD) compensation plays an important role and affects significantly the communicati...

A prevailing goal of digital game-based learning is to support education with serious games. Yet serious games have not become an integral part of education so far: the software applications generally focus on the learning aspect of education and disregard support for teaching as well as for communication between teacher and student. In this paper, we present a general framework for digital gam...

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) can be very effective for pattern recognition, function approximation, scientific classification, control, and the analysis of time series data; however they can require very large training times for large networks. Once the network is trained for a particular problem, however, it can produce results in a very short time. Traditional ANNs using back-propagation ...

To ensure comprehension, clinicians have been urged to use "teach-backs"-explicitly asking patients to repeat back key points of instruction-with every patient receiving new care management instructions. Yet, it is not known whether certain patient groups are more likely to receive teach-backs than others. This study used results from the patient survey of the Communication Climate Assessment T...

The purpose of this study is the experimental substantiation implementation information and communication technologies to test control back muscle strength in process physical education students. 
 Materials methods. General scientific methods were used solve research problems: analysis, synthesis, generalization, induction systematization, technical modeling, pedagogical experiment, testi...

As places that disrupt “business as usual,” community food gardens carry the potential to experientially, critically, and restoratively recenter systems interconnected sustainability knowledges. Using interdisciplinary theory practice-based observation, we zero in on environmental planning management space of university campus interpret how may not only materially change landscape at a grassroo...
