A plethora of application scenarios are rapidly emerging within the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) in possibly every industrial and market vertical. Accordingly, the wireless infrastructure should be able to ...

In the field of second language (L2) pronunciation research and teaching, relatively less research has been conducted on the efficacy of suprasegmental features (e.g., stress and intonation) than that of segmentals (individual ...

Ankyrin B (AnkB) is a scaffolding protein, acting as a bridge between ion channels and cytoskeleton networks. AnkB variants are associated with cognitive disorders including autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy. In the ...

Many interesting physical processes produce non-interacting particles that could only be measured using the missing transverse momentum. The increase of the proton beam intensity in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provides ...

In this thesis, the synthesis and reactivity of metal complexes containing phosphido (PR2−) and phosphenium (PR2+) ligands for the hydrophosphination of alkenes were investigated. The mechanisms of hydrophosphination ...

Error control coding is employed in modern communication systems to reliably transfer data through noisy channels. Convolutional codes are widely used for this purpose because they are easy to encode and decode and so have ...

Mobile edge computing (MEC) has been considered as a promising technology to handle computation-intensive and latency-sensitive tasks for mobile user equipments (UEs) in next-generation mobile networks. Mobile UEs can ...

Health information technology has been widely accepted as having the potential to decrease the prevalence of adverse events and improve workflows and communication between healthcare workers. However, the emergence of ...

This dissertation considers radar detection and tracking of weak fluctuating targets using dynamic programming (DP) based track-before-detect (TBD). TBD combines target detection and tracking by integrating data over ...

We examine the tides in the Kitikmeot Sea using year-long time-series from moored instrumentation in Dease Strait, and a 3D barotropic numerical tidal model of the region. The in-situ data show strong tidal damping during ...
