Location-dependent services are services that adapt their behavior based on the locations of mobile devices. For many applications, it is critical that location-dependent services use trustworthy device locations, namely locations that are both accurate and recent. These properties are captured by a security goal called locale authentication whereby an entity can authenticate the physical locat...

a comprehensive and integrated study of any supply chain (sc) environment is a vital requirement that can create various advantages for the sc owners. this consideration causes productive managing of the sc through its whole wide components from upstream suppliers to downstream retailers and customers.  on this issue, despite many valuable studies reported in the current literature, considerabl...

The Active Bat system provides the ability to locate users and equipment with a high degree of accuracy and coverage. Despite this, participation is low. We are concerned that this is symptomatic of a fundamental problem in location-aware computing; specifically the lack of understanding about which applications are useful and what factors motivate people to use them. In this paper we provide a...

In this paper, transverse vibrations of thin circular plates with guided edge and resting on Winkler foundation have been studied on the basis of Classical Plate Theory. Parametric investigations on the vibration of circular plates resting on elastic foundation have been carried out with respect to various foundation stiffness parameters. Twelve vibration modes are presented. The location of th...

Source location is an important feature of acoustic emission (AE) damage monitoring in steel structures. The ability to accurately locate sources can assist in source characterisation and early warning of failure. This paper describe the development of a novel AE source location technique termed “ Wavelet Transform analysis and Modal Location (WTML)” based on Lamb wave theory and time-frequency...

Background: The ideal teeth arrangement is an important step for success in complete denture fabrication. There are different methods for determining the posterior denture teeth location. The purpose of this study was the comparison of posterior mandibular teeth location in the study group with Pound or Misch theory. Material and methods: An alginate mandibular impression of 80 dentate patients...
