With the increasing demands of data communication speed for different type of data transmission, many revolutions occur with time in wireless communication system. The use of MIMO for wireless data transmission has proven itself for enhancing the capacity of data transmission. The mobile network based on the cell structure also uses the MIMO techniques. Further research in the field of massive ...

To respond to the changing needs of the industry for non-traditional electrical measurements many national laboratories including the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), and the Swedish National Testing and Research Institute (SP) have develo...

Limited research has focused on recruitment strategies for health promotion researchers conducting small-scale pilot studies. Such research is important because small studies often have limited funding streams and personnel resources. Accordingly, many techniques implemented by large-scale studies are of limited use to smaller research projects. This article provides an overview effective parti...

Human factors research into spatial disorientation (SD) and loss of situation awareness (SA) in the fast jet military pilot has led to consideration of systems for monitoring pilot behaviour and psychophysiology and for detection of performance degradation and incapacitation. These could be the basis of real-time countermeasures, such as a “Safety Net” system, assisting or taking over automatic...

Ward and Kennedy (1999) have introduced a modified version of the Sociocultural Adaptation Scale (SCAS) by Searle and Ward (1990). This scale has been designed towards measuring behavioral and cognitive components of cross-cultural adjustment among various groups of sojourners and international travellers. Ward and Kennedy (1999) based their psychometric analysis on a total of 16 crosssectional...

Automatic doors exemplify the challenges of designing emotionally welcoming interactive systems. We attempt to broaden the automatic door’s repertoire of signals by examining how people respond to a variety of “door gestures” designed to offer different levels of approachability. In a pilot study, participants (N=48) who walked past a physical gesturing door were asked to fill out a questionnai...

background regarding the increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease, efficient factors such as happiness seems vital in reducing hospitalization of cardiovascular patients. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between stress coping styles, negative automatic thoughts, life quality and happiness in hospitalized cardiovascular patients in ahvaz, iran. material and m...

On the task of determining the tense to use when translating a Chinese verb into English, current systems do not perform as well as human translators. The main focus of the present paper is to identify features that human translators use, but which are not currently automatically extractable. The goal is twofold: to test a particular hypothesis about what additional information human translator...
