mechanical system (MEOMS) inertial sensors has been driven by the need for inexpensive
sensing solutions in military and commercial applications. ...
Performance Analysis of Collision Avoidance Schemes in Ad Hoc Networks
(2012-04-11)
IEEE 802.11 DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) is a popular protocol used for
the physical and MAC layers in most ad hoc networks. DCF employs carrier sense multiple
access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) and a ...
Performance Analysis of IES Journals using Text Processing Robots in PERL
(2012-03-21)
In the past, many approaches to measure the quality of journals are developed, e.g. 2-year Impact Factor (IF), 5-year IF, Eigenfactor Score, etc. Most of them are related to the number of citations of published papers. ...
Performance Comparison of an Extended Kalman Filter and an Iterated Extended Kalman Filter for Orbit Determination of Space Debris with Poor Apriori Information and Intermittent Observations
(2012-11-06)
The growing space debris population threatens active and future missions bound for low earth orbit.
The purpose of this study is to determine if an iterated extended Kalman filter (IEKF) can be used to yield better ...
Performance Evaluation of a Binary Exponential Code Backoff Algorithm for IEEE 802.11
(2014-03-31)
IEEE 802.11 is the most widely deployed medium access control (MAC) protocol for
wireless access. Simple and efficient, this MAC protocol works well as the last wireless hop
and is a key enabler of the widespread success ...
Performance Evaluation of Biased Queue Management
(2006-08-15)
Congestion is an important issue which researchers focus on in the
Transmission Control Protocol (\textit{TCP}) network environment. To
keep the stability of the whole network, congestion control
algorithms have been ...
Performance Evaluation of Erosion and Sediment Control Practices
(2023-08-01)
Construction-generated stormwater runoff has the potential to negatively affect receiving water bodies downstream. Not only does eroded soil transport other pollutants, but sediment also remains suspended in water, where ...
Performance Evaluation of Sediment Control Practices
(2023-12-11)
Sediment is a major pollutant of waterways, increasing turbidity, carrying other harmful pollutants, and reducing flow capacity, which can lead to loss of aquatic life and increased risk of flooding. Construction projects, ...
Performance Evaluation of Split Disk-Cache
(2013-03-29)
The performance gap between the processor and the memory speeds has been ever increasing. Whereas processor speeds have improved by 60% annually, secondary storage speed has only improved by 10% annually. Although there ...
Performance Evaluations of Sediment Barrier Practices and Unmanned Aircraft System Mapping Technologies
(2018-11-15)
Sediment barriers are sediment control practices typically installed along the perimeter of construction sites that are intended to intercept, capture, and temporarily contain sheet to shallow concentrated flows prior to ...
Performance Evaluations on Ditch Check Practices and Products for Channelized Stormwater Runoff Control using Large-Scale Testing
(2013-12-19)
The primary purpose and focus of this research is to evaluate and improve erosion and sediment control practices deployed in channelized flow conditions on construction sites in an effort to better understand these practices ...
Performance Measures for Prioritizing Highway Safety Improvements Based on Predicted Crash Frequency and Severity
(2013-04-05)
