Time Limits

by Robert A. Moffitt, Ladonna A. Pavetti - In Finding Jobs: Work and Welfare Reform , 2000
"... 5/21/99 Of all the U.S. welfare reform developments of the 1990s, the introduction of time limits on benefit receipt is generally thought to mark the most dramatic break from the past. While work requirements, sanctions, and other features have been discussed in welfare reform debates for many years ..."

Near Shannon limit error-correcting coding and decoding

by Claude Berrou, Alain Glavieux, Punya Thitimajshima , 1993
"... Abstract- This paper deals with a new class of convolutional codes called Turbo-codes, whose performances in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) are close to the SHANNON limit. The Turbo-Code encoder is built using a parallel concatenation of two Recursive Systematic Convolutional codes and the associated ..."

Actions as space-time shapes

by Lena Gorelick, Moshe Blank, Eli Shechtman, Michal Irani, Ronen Basri - IN ICCV , 2005
"... Human action in video sequences can be seen as silhouettes of a moving torso and protruding limbs undergoing articulated motion. We regard human actions as three-dimensional shapes induced by the silhouettes in the space-time volume. We adopt a recent approach [14] for analyzing 2D shapes and genera ..."

Timing-Sync Protocol for Sensor Networks

by Saurabh Ganeriwal, Ram Kumar, Mani B. Srivastava - The First ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor System (SenSys , 2003
"... Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have emerged as an interesting and important research area in the last few years. The applications envisioned for such networks require collaborative execution of a distributed task amongst a large set of sensor nodes. This is realized by exchanging messages that are ..."

and very limited energy resource at every node; this leads to scalability requirements while limiting the resources that can be used to achieve them. A new approach to time synchronization is needed for sensor networks.

On limits of wireless communications in a fading environment when using multiple antennas

by G. J. Foschini, M. J. Gans - Wireless Personal Communications , 1998
"... Abstract. This paper is motivated by the need for fundamental understanding of ultimate limits of bandwidth efficient delivery of higher bit-rates in digital wireless communications and to also begin to look into how these limits might be approached. We examine exploitation of multi-element array (M ..."

Real-Time Obstacle Avoidance for Manipulators and Mobile Robots

by Oussama Khatib - INT. JOUR OF ROBOTIC RESEARCH , 1986
"... This paper presents a unique real-time obstacle avoidance approach for manipulators and mobile robots based on the artificial potential field concept. Collision avoidance, tradi-tionally considered a high level planning problem, can be effectively distributed between different levels of control, al- ..."

Real-Time Dynamic Voltage Scaling for Low-Power Embedded Operating Systems

by Padmanabhan Pillai, Kang G. Shin , 2001
"... In recent years, there has been a rapid and wide spread of nontraditional computing platforms, especially mobile and portable computing devices. As applications become increasingly sophisticated and processing power increases, the most serious limitation on these devices is the available battery lif ..."

Fading relay channels: Performance limits and space-time signal design

by Rohit U. Nabar, Helmut Bölcskei, Felix W. Kneubühler - IEEE J. SELECT. AREAS COMMUN , 2004
"... Cooperative diversity is a transmission technique where multiple terminals pool their resources to form a virtual antenna array that realizes spatial diversity gain in a distributed fashion. In this paper, we examine the basic building block of cooperative diversity systems, a simple fading relay ch ..."
Abstract - Cited by 445 (4 self) - Add to MetaCart
of the paper is devoted to (distributed) space-time code design for fading relay channels operating in the AF mode. We show that the corresponding code design criteria consist of the traditional rank and determinant criteria for the case of co-located antennas as well as appropriate power control rules

The flooding time synchronization protocol

by Miklos Maroti, Branislav Kusy, Gyula Simon, Akos Ledeczi , 2004
"... Wireless sensor network applications, similarly to other distributed systems, often require a scalable time synchronization service enabling data consistency and coordination. This paper introduces the robust Flooding Time Synchronization Protocol (FTSP), especially tailored for applications requir ..."

requiring stringent precision on resource limited wireless platforms. The proposed time synchronization protocol utilizes low communication bandwidth, scales well for medium sized multi-hop networks, and is robust against topology changes and node failures. The FTSP achieves its robustness by utilizing

Panel Cointegration; Asymptotic and Finite Sample Properties of Pooled Time Series Tests, With an Application to the PPP Hypothesis; New Results. Working paper

by Peter Pedroni , 1997
"... We examine properties of residual-based tests for the null of no cointegration for dynamic panels in which both the short-run dynamics and the long-run slope coefficients are permitted to be heterogeneous across individual members of the panel+ The tests also allow for individual heterogeneous fixed ..."
