On the validity of the fixed point equation and decoupling assumption for analyzing the 802.11 MAC protocol

Performance evaluation of the 802.11 MAC protocol is classically based on the decoupling assumption, which hypothesizes that the backoff processes at different nodes are independent. A necessary condition for the validity of this approach is the existence ...

Model misspecification in peaks over threshold analysis

Anthony Christopher Davison, Mária Süveges

Classical peaks over threshold analysis is widely used for statistical modeling of sample extremes, and can be supplemented by a model for the sizes of clusters of exceedances. Under mild conditions a compound Poisson process model allows the estimation of ...

Timing Analysis of Leader-based and Decentralized Byzantine Consensus Algorithms

André Schiper, Martin Hutle, Fatemeh Borran

We compare in an analytical way two leader-based and decentralized algorithms (that is, algorithms that do not use a leader) for Byzantine consensus with strong validity. We show that for the algorithms we analyzed, in most cases, the decentralized variant ...

Light-induced spin crossover in Fe(II)-based complexes: The full photocycle unraveled by ultrafast optical and X-ray spectroscopies

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Andrea Cannizzo, Wojciech Gawelda, Cristina Consani

The light-induced spin and structure changes upon excitation of the singlet metal-to-ligand charge transfer (1MLCT) state of Fe(II)-polypyridine complexes are investigated in detail in the case of aqueous iron(II)-tris-bipyridine ([FeII(bpy)3]2+) by a comb ...

Evaluation of a mixed approach combining stationary and wearable systems to monitor gait over long distance

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Xavier Crevoisier

Thanks to decades of research, gait analysis has become an efficient tool. However, mainly due to the price of the motion capture systems, standard gait laboratories have the capability to measure only a few consecutive steps of ground walking. Recently, w ...

Asymptotic safety of gravity and the Higgs boson mass

There are indications that gravity is asymptotically safe. The Standard Model (SM) plus gravity could be valid up to arbitrarily high energies. Supposing that this is indeed the case and assuming that there are no intermediate energy scales between the Fer ...

Validity and Reliability of a French Version of the Metacognitions Questionnaire in a Nonclinical Population

Mathieu d'Acremont

We investigated the psychometric properties of a French translation of the Metacognitions Questionnaire (MCQ). 265 participants from the French-speaking population of Belgium completed the MCQ. Construct validity was assessed by means of a factor analysis, ...

Identification of Aging Faces using A-stack Classification Model

Andrzej Drygajlo, Weifeng Li

The problem of time validity of biometric models has received only a marginal attention from researchers. In this paper, we investigate the aging influence on the classifier scores of genuine client. Our studies show that as age progresses the classifier s ...

Improving Accuracy with Multiple Sensors: Study of Redundant MEMS-IMU/GPS Configurations

Stéphane Guerrier

Although experimental results have demonstrated that redundant MEMS-IMUs integrated with GPS are an efficient way to improve navigation performances, the precise relationship between the number of sensors employed and the accuracy enhancement remains uncle ...

On Noise Insertion Strategies for Wireless Network Secrecy

Emre Telatar, Suhas Diggavi, Etienne Perron

We provide lower and upper bounds on the optimal rate for reliable and secret transmission of a message from one node to another in an arbitrary wireless network with deterministic signal interaction. Certain relay nodes are allowed to insert noise into th ...
