Consider the following game of a cop locating a robber on a connected graph. At each turn, the cop chooses a vertex of the graph to probe and receives the distance from the probe to the robber. If she can uniquely locate the robber after this probe, then she wins. Otherwise the robber may either stay put or move to any vertex adjacent to his location other than the probe vertex. The cop’s goal ...

One important research area in Non-Photorealistic Rendering is to obtain silhouettes. There are many methods to obtain silhouettes from 3d models and raster structures, but they are limited in their ability to draw stylized silhouettes with complete flexibility. These limitations do not exist in illustration, as each element is plane and the interaction between them can be eliminated locating e...

Deep learning has started to revolutionize several different industries, and the applications of these methods in medicine are now becoming more commonplace. This study focuses on investigating the feasibility of tracking patients and clinical staff wearing Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) tags in a radiation oncology clinic using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and convolutional neural networks (C...

Over the last decade the Indian state has strived to establish an adequate foundation for advancing nanotechnology resulting in the expansion of R&D and commercialization of nanoproducts. A greater focus on technology development has meant that India's engagement with the overdue but not less significant risk debate appears to be far behind global discourses. The main focus of the paper is to e...

This paper presents a unified locating service, KULOCS, which horizontally integrates the existing heterogeneous locating services. Focusing on technology-independent elements [when], [where] and [who] in querying locations of objects, KULOCS integrates data and operations of the existing services. In the data integration, we propose a method where the time representation, the locations, the na...

Locating additional long-term groundwater resources in semi-arid regions of developing countries with growing populations is an expensive undertaking. Simple geographic information system (GIS) techniques can be utilised to facilitate efficient application of expensive geophysical techniques and test-drilling by functioning as an interdisciplinary integration and decision-making tool, especiall...

This work aims to build a semantic framework for automated debugging. A debugging process consists of tracing, locating, and fixing processes consecutively. The first two processes are accomplished by a tracing procedure and a locating procedure, respectively. The tracing procedure reproduces the execution of a failed test case with well-designed data structures and saves necessary information ...

Wireless location system based on UWB signals has been widely utilized by wireless network recently, especially for the indoor scenarios where GPS signal has been heavily attenuated. However, due to the requirement of ultra wideband signals, existing location system usually faces problems including complexity, robust and cost, which limit the potential applications. In this study, we propose a ...

Localization of infarcted regions is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment for patients with cardiac ischemia. Myocardial strain partially reflects the location of infarcted regions, which demonstrated potential use in clinical practice. However, strain patterns are complex and simple thresholding is not su cient to locate the infarcts. Besides, many strain-based parameters exis...

Locating mobile terminals is an important requirement not only for offering location based services but also for handling emergency cases of nonsubscribed users, and radio surveillance. We propose a blind localization approach which takes advantage of multipath propagation by using additional information about the known locations of the main scattering objects, e.g. buildings. This information ...
