Property A. When designing criterion-referenced assessment sheets for a course, an incremental approach should be taken to reflect that skills are progressively developed throughout the course. The incremental development and assessment of skills has been strongly supported by the literature as opposed

The modem trend to lighter, more flexible floor systems with less damping has resulted in more complaints from walking vibrations. A new design criterion for walking vibration of wide applicability to all floor systems with natural frequencies less than 10 Hz has recently been developed (Allen

We consider the design of channel codes for improving the data rate and/or the reliability of communications over fading channels using multiple transmit antennas. Data is encoded by a channel code and the encoded data is split into n streams that are simultaneously transmitted using n transmit

Abstract approved:

The use of hierarchy is an important component of object-oriented design. Hierarchy allows the use of type families, in which higher level supertypes capture the behavior that all of their subtypes have in common. For this methodology to be effective, it is necessary to have a clear understanding

, specifically designed to test predictions from this extension of the theory, have now been completed Hypothesis I: There exists, in the human organism, a drive to evaluate his opinions and his abilities. While opinions and abilities may, at first glance, seem to be quite different things, there is a close

Abstract. Within the framework of classical linear regression model optimal design criteria of stochastic nature are considered. The particular attention is paid to the shape criterion. Also its limit behaviour is established which gen-eralizes that of the distance stochastic optimality criterion

A simple design criterion is presented for obtaining maximal data rate in network on chip (NoC) links. It is shown that the maximal data rate is achieved near the boundary between RC and RLC model validity domains. The criterion is applicable to various on-chip transmission line structures
