The globally observed recession of mobile services market has pushed mobile network operators into looking for opportunities to provide value-added services on top of their high cost infrastructures. Latest advances in self and network-assisted positioning technologies, enable the provision of services that make use of the actual mobile user location. This paper presents the key points and cons...

Real-time intra-fraction target tracking, as an adjunct to the delivery of radiation therapy is defined as techniques and devices that enable adjustment of the target radiation while it is being delivered (i.e., intra-fraction adjustments) to compensate for movement of the organ inside the body. Realtime tracking is defined as frequent or continuous target tracking in the treatment room during ...

I have been dating this guy for ten years. We both have physical disabilities and therefore have very limited movement. However, we have complete sensation. We really want to have sex but are having difficulty with positioning. Since I have a little more movement than him, I am going to be the one who does most of it. We have had two very unsuccessful attempts and are getting very discouraged. ...

We address the problem of multitarget region tracking within image sequences. Following recent work on joint segmentation and tracking as well as non-parametric modeling of color statistics, we develop an energy-minimization based approach using color histograms. As in a few other existing approaches, a single color probability distribution per object and background is handled. In this context,...

In this paper we show a lower bound for the generalization of Heilbronn’s triangle problem to d dimensions; namely, we show that there exists a set S of n points in the d-dimensional unit cube so that every d + 1 points of S define a simplex of volume Ω( 1 nd ). We also show a constructive incremental positioning of n points in a unit 3-cube for which every tetrahedron defined by four of these ...

Analysing a unique, domain-similar database including all horticulturalists in a major flower-producing country, this paper shows that a firm’s central position in a network significantly improves its financial performance. The effect of strategic positioning in a network is in large part mediated through its enhanced innovativeness. Strategically positioning in a network of firms contributes m...
