Impact of time synchronization error on the mode-shape calculation in wireless sensor networks for structural health monitoring by Abdaoui, Abderrazak

“…In order to decrease the size of the transmitted data by the sensor nodes and reduce the processing load and needed storage capacity on the central unit, we adopt a semi-local processing approach where each node partially processes the measured data. …”

Impact of time synchronization error on the mode-shape identification and damage detection/localization in WSNs for structural health monitoring by Abdaoui, Abderrazak

“…In this paper, we characterize the impact of TSE on the modal analysis, damage detection and damage localization using frequency domain decomposition (FDD) implemented in a semi-local manner. In order to decrease the size of the transmitted data by the sensor nodes and reduce the processing load and the needed storage capacity on the central unit, we adopt a semi-local processing approach where each sensor node partially processed data and transmit it to a central unit for further processing such as mode shape identification, damage detection and damage localization. …”

Gaining or losing team ball possession: The dynamics of momentum perception and strategic choice in football coaches by Briki, Walid

“…Nonetheless, both variables displayed asymmetrical effects, in the sense that: (1) the strength of positive PM appeared to be easier to decrease than to increase; and (2) the greater the positive PM (or the negative PM), the lesser (or the greater) the coaches' tendency to make a change in the organization of their teams. …”
