Computer programing can be a valuable part of the K-12 curriculum. Pleasanton USD superintendent David Haglund thinks “programming is a mindset and a great foundation for math.” Haglund uses the first ...

Studies that use UK hospital coding data to examine 'weekend effects' for acute conditions, such as stroke, may be undermined by inaccurate coding, suggests new research. Studies that use UK hospital ...

The Data Science Lab Data Prep for Machine Learning: Encoding Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research uses a full code program and screenshots to explain how to programmatically encode categorical ...

Digital transmission is the sending of information over physical communication media in the form of digital signals. Analog signals must therefore be digitized first before being transmitted. The ...

Images transmitted over the world wide web are an excellent example of why data compression is important. Suppose we need to download a digitized color photograph over a computer's 33.6 kbps modem. If ...

When commercial options fail, try using Manchester encoding and other time-tested protocols in low-cost, low bit-rate serial communications. When developing an embedded system that requires basic ...

So just how does the modulating of radio waves enable data transmission? The answer is found in the concept of coding. Coding refers to a modulation pattern that is understood and shared by both a ...
