An Improved Inequality for Balanced Incomplete Block Designs

The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1971
For a resolvable balanced incomplete block design (BIBD), Bose (1942) obtained an inequality $b \geqq v + r - 1$. Stanton (1957) showed that this inequality is equivalent to an inequality $r \geqq \lambda + k$. The main purpose of this note is to improve Bose's inequality to $b \geqq 2\nu + r - 2$ for a resolvable BIBD which is not affine resolvable.

Improved inequalities for balanced incomplete block designs

Discrete Mathematics, 1978
AbstractIt is known that there are some lower bounds for the number of blocks in a balanced incomplete block design (BIBD). Especially, Fisher's inequality b⩾v is well-known for a BIBD with parameters v, b, r, k and λ. Fisher's inequality can be improved upon if one puts additional restrictions on a BIBD.

Evaluation of a BIBD Based Directional MAC Protocol for Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Iranian Journal of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 2009
The use of directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks can significantly improve global performance due to a high spatial channel reuse. Nevertheless, its introduction poses new location dependent problems related to the MAC protocol.

Assessing patient information needs for new antidiabetic medications to inform shared decision‐making: A best–worst scaling experiment in China

Health Expectations
Background Shared decision‐making (SDM) is a patient‐centred approach to improve the quality of care. An essential requirement for the SDM process is to be fully aware of patient information needs. Objectives Our study aimed to assess patient information
