IPS achieves reduced data delivery latency through three key design features, namely, (1) intertwining aggregation tree formation and scheduling, (2) for each node, a parent can be selected from already scheduled nodes so that the time latency is reduced and the cycles are prevented and (3) applying parent selection criteria that maximize the time slot reuse.
The parent tree selection criteria were largely height superiority, stem form, branch size, and crown shape.
Because the study intervention is focused on supervised contact between children in long-term care and their parents, the selection criteria developed was as follows: children aged up to 14 years in long-term care (on long-term care orders) having supervised contact with one or more parent which is managed by one of the participating agencies.
Of the three stress variables, only parent stress met the selection criterion for inclusion in the logistic regression model (p =.0988).
These variables were only available for those children whose parents also completed the questionnaire (N = 485), so parent participation served as a selection criterion for inclusion in analysis.
The selection criterion for selecting carrier (Qq) parents was the probability that the individual carries the favourable donor allele at the estimated QTL locations given the marker information.
Recently, though, one Church of England school dropped its faith selection criterion after complaints that parents had been attending church services purely to secure a place for their child.
To implement laboratory neutral evolution using this selection criterion, we began with a single parent P450 BM3 heme domain variant (called R1-11) and used error-prone PCR to create random mutants of this parent [ 16].
In generation t, the variance of the genomic EBV of the selected parents can be expressed as (1) σ M, t 2 * = σ M, t 2 (1 − k ), where the * denotes values after selection, σ M,t is the variance of the genomic EBV before selection, i.e. among the candidates for selection in generation t, and k is the proportional reduction in the variance of the selection criterion due to selection of the parents.
Criteria that guarantee longer network lifetime of the balanced parent selection scheme were derived for both linear topology and 2D topology.
