In this paper, firstly, a generalized subconvexlike set-valued map involving the relative algebraic interior is introduced in ordered linear spaces. Secondly, some properties of a generalized subconvexlike set-valued map are investigated. Finally, the optimality conditions of set-valued optimization problem are established.

This part of the book covers liability in ubiquitous computing (UC). The term liability was deliberately chosen for two reasons. Firstly, due to the established understanding of common terms like information assurance, dependability, accountability and the like. Secondly, to provide a superseding term for security for ubiquitous computing, which—unlike traditional IT security—encompasses the fo...

Employing PAs in the orthopedic medicine has many obvious advantages. Firstly, utilization of a PA does not cost more than hiring a surgical assistant [7]. Although the direct collections could not cover their compensations [8], PA related services have impacted the orthopedic care significantly by decreasing wait Received: January 09, 2015; Accepted: January 21, 2015; Published: February 05, 2015

In this paper, one conflict context reasoning method based on Dempster-Shafer theory is proposed. Firstly the context conflict problems are illustrated and partitioned based on theory of evidence. Then the context model combined with Dempster-Shafer theory is presented and applied to the reasoning method based on Dempster rule of combination. The effectiveness of this method is verified with a ...

A dual-responsive supra-amphiphile was firstly constructed based on a water-soluble pillar[7]arene and a naphthalene diimide-containing guest with a long alkyl chain and a trimethylammonium group. The morphologies of the self-assembly formed from this supra-amphiphile could be adjusted by changing solution pH or adding α-cyclodextrin.

Algorithm research of task scheduling is one of the key techniques in grid computing. This paper firstly describes a DAG task scheduling model used in grid computing environment, secondly discusses generational scheduling (GS) and communication inclusion generational scheduling (CIGS) algorithms. Finally, an improved CIGS algorithm is proposed to use in grid computing environment, and it has be...

In this paper, we present the system “DAWN” (direction anticipation in web navigation) that helps users to navigate through the world wide web. Firstly, the purpose of such a system and the approach taken are motivated. We then point out relations to other approaches, describe the system and outline the underlying prediction model. Evaluation on real world data gave promising results.

This paper I describes a method for chart parsing Lambek g rammars . The method is of part icular interest in two regards. Firstly, it allows efficient processing of g rammars which use necessity operators, mr extension proposed for handling locality phenomena. Secondly, the method is easily adapted to allow incremental proceasing of Lambek grammars , a possibility tha t has hitherto been unava...

Abstract. In this paper we, firstly, present a recursive formula of the empirical estimator of the semi-Markov kernel. Then a non-parametric estimator of the expected cumulative operational time for semi-Markov systems is proposed. The asymptotic properties of this estimator, as the uniform strongly consistency and normality are given. As an illustration example, we give a numerical application.

This paper presents our VolksBot robotic system. VolksBot is a flexible and modular mobile robot construction kit based on high value components. The concept behind the VolksBot system is the Physical Rapid Prototyping of mobile service robots. The paper firstly presents the concept on the Volksbot kit and secondly the current versions and already realized robotic variants and projects.
