Bluetooth is a personal wireless communication technology [2] and is being applied in many scenarios. Current existing scheduling scheme only provide best-effort service for all master-slave connection. It is very challenging to provide Efficiency parameter (Latency) support for different connection due to the feature of Master Driven TDD (Time Division Duplex). This paper addresses the issue t...

The In-Hospital Mortality Rates of Slaves and Freemen: Evidence from Touro Infirmary, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1855–1860 Using a rich sample of admission records from New Orleans Touro Infirmary, we examine the in-hospital mortality risk of free and enslaved patients. Despite a higher mortality rate in the general population, slaves were significantly less likely to die in the hospital than the ...

Bluetooth is a personal wireless communication technology and is being applied in many scenarios. Current existing MAC (Medium Access Control) scheduling scheme only provides best-effort service for all master-slave connections. It is very challenging to provide QoS (Quality of Service) support for different connections due to the feature of Master Driven TDD (Time Division Duplex). This paper ...

In order to find the actual figures of runaway slaves in colonial Maryland and Georgia, advertisements written by their masters in the Annapolis Maryland Gazette from 1745 through 1769 and the Savannah Georgia Gazette from 1763 through 1769 are analyzed in this paper. Applying such statistical methods as regression, correlation, etc. to the data derived from the advertisements, we describe a ty...

By exploring slave trade data, I argue that 85% of slave imports to Virginia in the 18 th century were from only four region...

Although plantation records indicate that many slaves in the southern United States were artisans and craftsmen, relatively few slaves were recorded as such on the New Orleans sales invoices.
