Design, Modeling, and Simulation of On-Demand Communication Mechanisms for Cy…

Abstract Advanced communication technology is the enabling factor for distributed sensing and control in smart grid. The performance of communication has a significant effect on the performance of the controllers that manage a power system. This effect is more profound when transient level behavior and critical applications are concerned. In these cases, an important issue is to design contro…

Communication Theoretical Understanding of Intra-Body Nervous Nanonetworks

Emerging nanoscale applications, e.g., nanoscale cooperative intelligent drug delivery or multiple intra-body nanosensors for health monitoring, mandate enabling nanomachines to communicate with each other, and hence, form nanonetworks to overcome the limitations of a single nanomachine. Indeed, the human body is a massive nanoscale molecular communications network composed of billions of inter…

This initiative is expected to meet several objectives, primarily: (a) to attract children to schools; (b) once attracted to school, sustain their interest in attending school; and (c) ensure e…

Design Assumptions by ‘Adult’ Designers versus ‘Child’ User Behaviour

Abstract. Instructional theories postulate that learning is most effective when the learning environment is friendly, non-threatening and attractive to the child. However, designing fun-based interactivity to deliver serious educational content is quite a challenge. Sudiksha has designed and developed a series of multilingual CD-ROMs in collaboration with not-for-profit organizations. The o…

This essay offers insight into how Voice Male magazine uses vernacular rhetoric as social resistance by challenging dominant discourses and offering mor…

Need for Power, Collective Identity, and Political Skill: An Investigation in…

Research on power motivation and political skill suggests that high need for power individuals who are oriented toward others will be perceived by supervisors as being politically skilled. McClelland (1973) theorized that high need for power individuals who reflect an orientation towards others will be perceived more favorably than those who are geared toward their own self-interest. In an empl…

Does the Defining Issues Test Measure Ethical Judgment Ability or Political P…

This article addresses the construct validity of the Defining Issues Test of ethical judgment (DIT/DIT-2). Alleging a political bias in the test, Emler and colleagues (1983, 1998, 1999, 2007), show that conservatives score higher when asked to fake as liberals, implying that they understand the reasoning associated with “higher” moral development but avoid items they see as liberally biased…

Regulating the Anticommons: Insights from Public-Expenditure Theory

This article offers a new interpretation of the traditional Cournot complements problem, or anticommons, by using the theory of public goods to gain a perspective on the problem. Specifically, I examine the pricing strategies and regulation of multiple monopolies that produce products which consumers view as perfect complements. I show that collusion by the firms increases total social welfare …

Reasons for Staying in Intimately Violent Relationships: Comparisons of Men a…

Victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) often are blamed for remaining in abusive relationships. As a result, victims may communicate messages rationalizing why they stay. Systematic, comparative examinations of these messages directed toward self and others by males versus females have not been conducted. This study addresses a gap in the literature by exploring victims’ communication re…

African American men bear a disproportionately high burden from cancer in the U.S. The American Cancer Society reports that for all cancer sites combined, African American men are 32% more likely to die than white men (American Cancer Society,2011). Having a family history of cancer elevates an individual’s risk for the disease and should inform decision-making around the use of specific canc…

Early Predictors of Language and SocialCommunication Impairments at Ages 9–…

Communication and authority with a partially informed expert

A sender-receiver game a la Crawford-Sobel is analyzed where the sender has expertise on some but not all the payoff-relevant factors. This residual uncertainty can either improve (even allow full revelation) or worsen the quality of transmitted information depending on a statistic called the effective bias. For symmetrically distributed residual uncertainty or quadratic loss functions, (i) …
