Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as refer...

The update of the ISI rankings of Spanish universities according to fields and scientific disciplines (2nd ed. 2011) is presented. Specifically, in this second edition we focus on the inclusion of 19 new scientific disciplines and the creation of a dynamic new website. Various bibliometric analyses of the different rankings are also shown. Firstly, the updated data for the rankings on 12 scient...

Local calibration studies have been performed with lyophilized plasmas at 155 European laboratories to assess coagulometer effects on manual ISI of ECAA thromboplastins (low ISI human recombinant and high ISI rabbit brain). Common sets of 7 normal and 20 artificially depleted lyophilized plasmas were tested with the thromboplastins in the routine local coagulometers. With the human reagent, mar...

The Informing Science Institute (ISI) is an informing system, designed using informing science principles, for the express purpose of informing researchers who study problems related to informing. The ISI provides several informing channels, including peer reviewed journals, conferences, books, and outreach activities. The ISI seeks to resonate with university researchers to provide rigorous an...

During initialization, discrete multitone receivers train a time domain equalizer (TEQ) to shorten the channel impulse response to a preset length, ν + 1. Arslan, Kiaei, and Evans report a Minimum Intersymbol Interference (Min-ISI) method for TEQ design. Min-ISI TEQs give the highest bit rates among single-FIR TEQs amenable to real-time implementation on programmable fixed-point digital signal ...

This study investigated the effects of temporal stimuli on qualitative responses during the acquisition of a serial tracking task. One hundred and twenty young adult men performed 100 trials of a tracking task that consisted of touching six response keys in a given sequence in response to flashing light-emitting diodes in order to identify and learn the serial pattern. Six experimental groups w...

Interspike interval (ISI) distributions of cortical neurons exhibit a range of different shapes. Wide ISI distributions are believed to stem from a balance of excitatory and inhibitory inputs that leads to a strongly fluctuating total drive. An important question is whether the full range of experimentally observed ISI distributions can be reproduced by modulating this balance. To address this ...
