Development of high performance Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol for wireless ad-hoc network by Phang, Jian Kai.

“…In order to reduce the collision of data packets within a concurrent transmission, control packets are implanted with collision avoidance information for neighbours’ usage so as to check the availability of transmission. A new-ACK (acknowledgment) sequence-mechanism is also introduced to eliminate the possibility of0collision between0data and ACK-packets. …”

An exploratory study on the development of a sensory wheel affiliated with the emotional lexicon for chrysanthemum infusion by Xia, Y, Hou, J, Chen, J, Spence, C, Qian, J, Zhao, F, Dong, G, Zhong, F

“…Additionally, consumer emotional responses to chrysanthemum infusion were assessed using the Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) method. By mapping the descriptive sensory data with emotional response data through Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR), we identified sensory drivers that elicit specific emotional responses. …”

Ergativity in Tongan by Otsuka, Y

“…Following Chomsky (1993), I assume that a structural case is assigned by feature checking in a Spec-head configuration. I also assume that only one Agr can be active in intransitive constructions: Agrs in accusative languages and Agro in ergative languages (Bobaljik 1993). …”

Multi-carrier M-ary DCSK system with code index modulation : an efficient solution for chaotic communications by Cai, Guofa, Fang, Yi, Wen, Jinming, Mumtaz, Shahid, Song, Yang, Frascolla, Valerio

“…The analytical bit-error-rate (BER) expressions of the proposed CIMMC-M-DCSK system are derived over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) as well as multipath Rayleigh fading channels. …”
