Preface The Noisy Channel Coding Theorem discovered by C. E. Shannon in 1948 offered communication engineers the possibility of reducing error rates on noisy channels to negligible levels without sacrificing data rates. The primary obstacle to the practical use of this theorem has been

, which includes level of description, transitions among expression, eliciting conditions, reliability and validity of training and test data, individual differences in subjects, head orientation and scene complexity, image characteristics, and relation to non-verbal behavior. We then present the CMU

the first direct evidence that miRNA genes are transcribed by RNA polymerase II (pol II). The primary miRNA transcripts (pri-miRNAs) contain cap structures as well as poly(A) tails, which are the unique properties of class II gene transcripts. The treatment of human cells with a-amanitin decreased the level

particular system can involve automation of all four types at different levels. The human performance consequences of particular types and levels of automation constitute primary evaluative criteria for automation design using our model. Secondary evaluative criteria include automation reliability

Abstract During the last six months the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (BECTa) has published two reports (downloadable from http://www.becta.org.uk/) on the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) and attainment levels of primary school

Abstract: This commentary presents an overview of the similarities and differences of the articles in this special issue, and utilizes the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2005 Mathematics Framework as a frame of reference for discussing the topics in each curriculum. Also included are discussions of differing perspectives and the scope and sequence of effective activities that develop algebraic thinking skills.

streams and other semi-reliable rate-based applications. Its primary goal is to be fair and TCP-friendly while separating network congestion control from application-level reliability. We evaluate RAP through extensive simulation, and conclude that bandwidth is usually evenly shared between TCP and RAP

The purpose of the study was to identify the problems faced by exceptional children at primary level. All the government institutions for persons with disabilities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan) constituted the population of the study. The study was delimited to physically handicapped students
