We describe a scenario of independent TV programme dissemination where viewers receive their own tailored channel created from content in which they’re interested. We focus primarily on the problem of distributing the content from the producers to all interested viewers. Our approach is based on a multicast scheme called implicit group messaging, realised as a distributed structured peer-to-pee...

The author provides advice on face lift incision placement to preserve ear contour and maintain normal sideburn position.

Market basket analysis (MBA) is a widely used technique for identifying affinities among items that customers purchase together. MBA metrics are support, confidence, and lift. We show that support and confidence may include misleading information about the nature of the affinity, and that lift is the most useful metric. Starting with the MBA, we use the product affinities to predict ways to inc...

The application of web mining to personalization has a long tradition in electronic commerce research. In this empirical study we focus specifically on mining sequential navigation patterns from weblogs and thoroughly compare different design variants for making personalized suggestions to users. In particular we concentrate on the impact of additional product knowledge like item characteristic...

For a class of fuzzy metric spaces (in the sense of George and Veeramani) with an H-type t-norm,  we present a method to construct a metric on a  fuzzy metric space. The induced metric space shares many important properties with the given fuzzy metric space.  Specifically, they generate the same topology, and have the same completeness. Our results can give the constructive proofs to some probl...

In this paper, we propose a new definition of intuitionistic fuzzyquasi-metric and pseudo-metric spaces based on intuitionistic fuzzy points. Weprove some properties of intuitionistic fuzzy quasi- metric and pseudo-metricspaces, and show that every intuitionistic fuzzy pseudo-metric space is intuitionisticfuzzy regular and intuitionistic fuzzy completely normal and henceintuitionistic fuzzy nor...

we prove that every r-quadratic metric of scalar flag curvature with a dimension greater than twois of constant flag curvature. then we show that generalized douglas-weyl metrics contain r-quadraticmetrics as a special case, but the class of r-quadratic metric is not closed under projective transformations
