Channel measurement and time dispersion analysis for outdoor mobile ultrawideband environment (2016)
Journal Article
Nunoo, S., Chude-Okonkwo, U. A. K., Ngah, R., Chude-Olisah, C., & Zahedi, Y. K. (2016). Channel measurement and time dispersion analysis for outdoor mobile ultrawideband environment. Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences, 24, 4555-4568. https://doi.org/10.3906/elk-1310-103

Ultrawideband (UWB) technology offers short-range high-data transmission rates. Most researchers in recent times have focused on indoor UWB channel measurements and in instances where outdoor cases were reported, they focused on static scenarios. Thi...

Why Welch’s test is Type I error robust (2016)
Journal Article
Derrick, B., Toher, D., & White, P. (2016). Why Welch’s test is Type I error robust. Quantitative Methods for Psychology, 12(1), 30-38

The comparison of two means is one of the most commonly applied statistical procedures in psychology. The independent samples t-test corrected for unequal variances is commonly known as Welch’s test, and is widely considered to be a robust alternativ...

Ants determine their next move at rest: Motor planning and causality in complex systems (2016)
Journal Article
Hunt, E. R., Baddeley, R. J., Worley, A., Sendova-Franks, A. B., & Franks, N. R. (2016). Ants determine their next move at rest: Motor planning and causality in complex systems. Royal Society Open Science, 3(1), 150534. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.150534

© 2016 The Authors. To find useful work to do for their colony, individual eusocial animals have to move, somehow staying attentive to relevant social information. Recent research on individual Temnothorax albipennis ants moving inside their colony’s... Read More about Ants determine their next move at rest: Motor planning and causality in complex systems.
