From community to scale: Using community engagement to develop and validate a patient-informed cancer communication scale

Patient Education and Counseling
Racial disparities in clinical communication quality are well-established but most clinical communication assessment tools are created without the collaboration of racially-diverse patient populations. Our objective was to collaborate with Black and White cancer survivors, caregivers, and advocates to develop and validate a tool to assess physicians ...

Multimedia Communications with Large-scale Antennas

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2013
Abstract In this paper, we consider a new power allocation algorithm maximizing users quality of experience (QoE) with large-scale antennas. Unlike prior work on adaptive resource allocation to enhance link reliability, we jointly optimize physical layer (massive MIMO) and application layer (H.264/SVC).

Scaled telemanipulation with communication time delay

Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002
This paper proposes a control algorithm of a scaled telemanipulation system with communication time delay. With the proposed algorithm, the motion and force relation between the master manipulator and the slave manipulator can be specified freely by using two scaling factors: a motion scaling factor, and a force scaling factor.
