Task distribution algorithm based on community in mobile crowd sensing by Hao LONG, Shukui ZHANG, Yang ZHANG, Li ZHANG

“…A community-based task distribution algorithm was proposed to solve the problem of the validity of mobile crowd sensing (MCS) task distribution.By calculating the minimum spanning tree (MST),the connection parameter (CP) and the community convergence degree (CI) between the mobile nodes,the behavior patterns of the users were abstracted and identified to rationally divide the nodes into different communities.Then,the eigenvalue matching degree of the community behavior patterns with the sensing task was calculated.According to the matching degree,the distribution of the corresponding tasks was completed by the central node of the community.The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the accuracy of the task distribution and the task completion rate,and save the time cost of the task completion.…”

The boost of force in unfused tetanic contractions at variable interpulse intervals in fast motor units of the rat medial gastrocnemius by K. Kryściak, J. Celichowski, R. Raikova, H. Drzymała-Celichowska

“…Mathematical decomposition of first (sagging) and second (non-sagging) tetanic contractions into twitch-like responses to successive stimuli in the tested IPIs variability showed that the changes underlying boost are pattern independent. This implies that boost probably occurs in daily activity when motoneurons fire with an unstable firing rate. …”
