This paper discusses a machine-learning (ML)based future received signal strength (RSS) prediction scheme using depth camera images for millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks. The scheme provides the future RSS prediction of any mmWave links within the camera’s view, including links where nodes are not transmitting frames. This enables network controllers to conduct network operations before line-of...

Abstract. Received Signal Strength (RSS) is one of the most useful information used for location estimation in Wireless LAN (WLAN). Most of the proposed WLAN positioning systems obtain RSS from either the Access Point or from the Mobile Device, but there are few researches that make use of the RSS obtained from both Access Points and Mobile Devices to perform location estimation. In this paper,...

In this article we present RoSeS (Really Open Simple and Efficient Syndication), a generic framework for content-based RSS feed querying and aggregation. RoSeS is based on a data-centric approach, using a combination of standard database concepts like declarative query languages, views and multiquery optimization. Users create personalized feeds by defining and composing content-based filtering...

BACKGROUND Appropriate sedation benefits patients by reducing the stress response, but it requires an appropriate method of assessment to adjust the dosage of sedatives. The aim of this study was to compare the difference in the sedation of mechanically ventilated patients undergoing flexible bronchoscopy (FB) monitored by auditory-evoked potentials (AEPs) or the Ramsay sedation scale (RSS). ...

Our proposed localization system is similar to existing WiFi-fingerprint localization systems. It works by first collecting received signal strength (RSS) values of access points (APs) from different reference points in the area of interest. This initial training can be done either manually or by crowd-sourcing. The WiFi-fingerprint map is generated from collected RSSs at all reference points. ...

Amino acid sequence information was obtained for the NH2 terminus, and for endogenous peptides generated by trypsin digestion, of a purified, truncated form of rat hepatic squalene synthase (RSS, EC 2.5.1.21) (Shechter, I., Klinger, E., Rucker, M. L., Engstrom, R. G., Spirito, J. A., Islam, M. A., Boettcher, B. R., and Weinstein, D. B. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 8628-8635). Degenerate primers, ...

Received Signal Strength (RSS) is considered as a promising measurement for indoor positioning. Lots of RSS-based localization methods have been proposed by its convenience and low cost. This paper focuses on two challenging issues in RSS-based localization schemes: finding optimal localization algorithms and knowing what affects the accuracy of these algorithms. Through theoretical and experim...

Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) is a statistical method for data collection that leads to more efficient estimators than competitors based on Simple Random Sampling (SRS). We consider testing the correlation coefficient of bivariate normal distribution based on Bivariate RSS (BVRSS). Under one-sided and two-sided alternatives, we show that the new tests based on BVRSS are more powerful than the usua...

Ultrasound has been used to observe lung aeration and fluid clearance during the neonatal transition period, but there is no consensus regarding optimal timing of ultrasound. We aimed monitor trend serial ultrasound score (LUS) extended LUS (eLUS) throughout period (≤1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48 h after birth), assess any correlation clinical presentation (using Silverman Andersen Respiratory Severity Sc...

An assessment has been made of the potential for toxic effects to aquatic life that may arise from halogenated organic by-products formed by reaction of hypochlorite with organic matter in various use scenarios as a contribution to the risk assessment of sodium hypochlorite under the European Union Existing Chemicals legislation. In the study, samples that would represent worst-case models for ...
