We investigate the distributed successive refinement (SR) hypothesis testing problem. Bivariate hypothesis H-0 : P-XY against H-1 : PXPY, i.e., test against independence is considered, when a remote sensor sends compressed information about data stream X s ...
Flexural and torsional rigidity are important properties of skis. However, the flexural and torsional rigidity that lead to optimal performance remain to be established. In the present study, four pairs of slalom skis that differed in flexural and torsiona ...
The impossibility of reaching deterministic consensus in an asynchronous and crash prone system was established for a weak variant of the problem, usually called weak consensus, where a set of processes need to decide on a common value in {0, 1}, so that b ...
The detection of chromosomal aberrations constitutes an important stage in the comprehension of the pathogenesis of several diseases, as cancer. In this case, the amplification or deletion (suppression) of some chromosomal regions, was identified as being ...
