Cognitive load during problem solving: effects on learning

by John Sweller - COGNITIVE SCIENCE , 1988
"... Considerable evidence indicates that domain specific knowledge in the form of schemes is the primary factor distinguishing experts from novices in problem-solving skill. Evidence that conventional problem-solving activity is not effective in schema acquisition is also accumulating. It is suggested t ..."

Compressive sensing

by Richard Baraniuk - IEEE Signal Processing Mag , 2007
"... The Shannon/Nyquist sampling theorem tells us that in order to not lose information when uniformly sampling a signal we must sample at least two times faster than its bandwidth. In many applications, including digital image and video cameras, the Nyquist rate can be so high that we end up with too m ..."

will learn about a new technique that tackles these issues using compressive sensing [1, 2]. We will replace the conventional sampling and reconstruction operations with a more general linear measurement scheme coupled with an optimization in order to acquire certain kinds of signals at a rate significantly

The fundamental properties of natural numbers

by Grzegorz Bancerek - Journal of Formalized Mathematics , 1989
"... Summary. Some fundamental properties of addition, multiplication, order relations, exact division, the remainder, divisibility, the least common multiple, the greatest common divisor are presented. A proof of Euclid algorithm is also given. MML Identifier:NAT_1. WWW:http://mizar.org/JFM/Vol1/nat_1.h ..."

.html The articles [4], [6], [1], [2], [5], and [3] provide the notation and terminology for this paper. A natural number is an element of N. For simplicity, we use the following convention: x is a real number, k, l, m, n are natural numbers, h, i, j are natural numbers, and X is a subset of R

Five misunderstandings about case-study research

by Bent Flyvbjerg - Qualitative Inquiry , 2006
"... When I first became interested in in-depth case-study research, I was trying to understand how power and rationality shape each other and form the urban environments in which we live (Flyvbjerg, 1998). It was clear to me that in order to understand a complex issue like this, in-depth case-study rese ..."

be well suited for pilot studies but not for full-fledged research schemes. Others again would comment that the case study is subjective, giving too much scope for the researcher’s own interpretations. Thus the validity of case studies would be wanting, they argued. At first, I did not know how to respond

Versatile Low Power Media Access for Wireless Sensor Networks

by Joseph Polastre, Jason Hill, David Culler , 2004
"... We propose B-MAC, a carrier sense media access protocol for wireless sensor networks that provides a flexible interface to obtain ultra low power operation, effective collision avoidance, and high channel utilization. To achieve low power operation, B-MAC employs an adaptive preamble sampling scheme ..."

scheme to reduce duty cycle and minimize idle listening. B-MAC supports on-the-fly reconfiguration and provides bidirectional interfaces for system services to optimize performance, whether it be for throughput, latency, or power conservation. We build an analytical model of a class of sensor network

An Overview of Evolutionary Algorithms in Multiobjective Optimization

by Carlos M. Fonseca, Peter J. Fleming - Evolutionary Computation , 1995
"... The application of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) in multiobjective optimization is currently receiving growing interest from researchers with various backgrounds. Most research in this area has understandably concentrated on the selection stage of EAs, due to the need to integrate vectorial performa ..."

performance measures with the inherently scalar way in which EAs reward individual performance, i.e., number of offspring. In this review, current multiobjective evolutionary approaches are discussed, ranging from the conventional analytical aggregation of the different objectives into a single function to a

A Fuzzy Commitment Scheme

by Ari Juels, Martin Wattenberg - ACM CCS'99 , 1999
"... We combine well-known techniques from the areas of errorcorrecting codes and cryptography to achieve a new type of cryptographic primitive that we refer to as a fuzzy commitment scheme. Like a conventional cryptographic commitment scheme, our fuzzy commitment scheme is both concealing and binding: i ..."

Congestion control for high bandwidth-delay product networks

by Dina Katabi, Mark Handley, Charlie Rohrs - SIGCOMM '02 , 2002
"... Theory and experiments show that as the per-flow product of bandwidth and latency increases, TCP becomes inefficient and prone to instability, regardless of the queuing scheme. This failing becomes increasingly important as the Internet evolves to incorporate very high-bandwidth optical links and mo ..."

A Focus+Context Technique Based on Hyperbolic Geometry for Visualizing Large Hierarchies

by John Lamping, Ramana Rao, Peter Pirolli - SIGCHI CONFERENCE ON HUMAN FACTORS IN COMPUTING SYSTEMS (CHI '95) , 1995
"... We present a new focus+context (fisheye) technique for visualizing and manipulating large hierarchies. Our technique assigns more display space to a portion of the hierarchy while still embedding it in the context of the entire hierarchy. The essence of this scheme is to lay out the hierarchy in a ..."

Event-to-Sink Reliable Transport in Wireless Sensor Networks

by Özgür B. Akan, Ian F. Akyildiz - IEEE/ACM Trans. Networking , 2005
"... Abstract—Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are event-based systems that rely on the collective effort of several microsensor nodes. Reliable event detection at the sink is based on collective information provided by source nodes and not on any individual report. However, conventional end-to-end reliab ..."
