This paper presents test methodologies to measure and evaluate performance of ADSL modems which take into account loss of packet rate, bit rate, and latency in transporting ADSL service scenario. This evaluation method can be used by ADSL provider (CO - Central Office) to guarantee the system quality and avoid low performance of service. In order to present this evaluation method, this paper consi
Mercury (Hg) is known to induce adverse immune reactions in sensitive individuals. e.g. selected inbred animal strains. Such reactions involve oral tissues and may reflect immune phenomena, that may also occur in some human oral diseases. Administration of low doses of HgCl2 to the genetically Hg-sensitive BN rats results in the development of a syndrome with autoimmune features [BN(Hg
The paper is concerned with coordinate representations for rigid parts in multibody dynamics. The discussion is based on the general theory of the dynamics of multibody systems under constraints. General configuration coordinates are introduced and the requirement of their regularity is discussed. The use of Euler angles, quaternions and linear coordinates, where quaternions and linear coordinates
Estimation of the generalization performance for classification within the medical applications domain is always an important task. In this study we focus on artificial neural network ensembles as the machine learning technique. We present a numerical comparison between five common resampling techniques: k-fold cross validation (CV), holdout, using three cutoffs, and bootstrap using five different
Ethnography is a very abstract concept, but often perceived as a very concrete practice, but what is hidden in the slippage between the abstract and concrete, as ethnography moves. While a great deal has been written and debated about the practices, methods and outcomes of applied research, and we appreciate these debates, our own point of departure lies in a curiosity over what happens in the pro
This thesis presents work in several areas relating to Random Matrix Theory and Elasticity. It contains 4 papers presenting work on different issues. Paper I concerns correlations between eigenvalues in random matrices of real symmetric (GOE) or quaternion real (GSE) form. It presents a calculation showing that correlations between arbitrarily many eigenvalues can be obtained from averages of a t
