Augmented reality (AR) allows users to see the real world, with virtual objects superimposed on the real world. AR systems can be used to establish the experience of being practically co-located by means of simulated presence. AR systems have, e.g., been used to allow experts to spatially collaborate with others at any other place in the world without traveling and thereby creating the experien...

multiple traveling salesman problem (mtsp) is one of the most popular operation research problem and is known as combinatorial optimization problems. mtsp is an extension version of the famous and widely used problem named traveling salesman problem (tsp). because of its benefices in various domains, many researchers have tried to solve that, and many methods have proposed so far. mtsp is a np-...

We explore a reaction-dispersal mechanism for the generation of wave fronts which consists of a set of particles traveling with random velocities (chosen from arbitrary distributions) which experience an autocatalytic reaction. The differences found between this mechanism and approaches based on the continuous-time random walks, where the particles are assumed to perform discrete jumps from one...

As experience with endoscopic sinus surgery has grown, so have its extended applications. Endoscopic management of transnasal intracranial foreign bodies can be successfully performed in selected patients and yields an improved cosmetic outcome and a decreased risk in complications. The patient was a 21 year old male who was driving intoxicated and sustained a motor vehicle accident. Patient wa...

This case study is about the first Information Systems Ph.D. program in Ethiopia and the region, a collaborative effort of thirteen universities around the globe. Seventeen faculty members are traveling to Ethiopia to launch the program and plan to begin class summer 2008. This paper depicts the program design, program development, and an outline of the overall program. The authors share their ...

in today’s competitive transportation systems, passengers search to find traveling agencies that are able to serve them efficiently considering both traveling time and transportation costs. in this paper, we present a new model for the traveling salesman problem with multiple transporters (tspmt). in the proposed model, which is more applicable than the traditional versions, each city has diffe...

I apply a linear distance heuristic to the n-team Bipartite Traveling Tournament problem, which treats the problem as if the n teams are located on a straight line, reducing the number of variables. I then generate an algorithm to solve this variation of the problem. I then compare the results of my algorithm with results presented in previous papers. My algorithm does not present an optimal so...

We investigate the relation between two aspects of round robin tournament scheduling problems: breaks and distances. The distance minimization problem and the breaks maximization problem are equivalent when the distance between every pair of teams is equal to 1. We show how to construct schedules with a maximum number of breaks for some tournament types. The connection between breaks maximizati...

This study explores the memorable traveling experience (MTE) of 143 tourists from Europe and Oceanian in Malaysia. The researchers conducted a survey to investigate factors that influence their revisit intention Malaysia as an attractive destination. Partial least square structural equation modeling (SEM-PLS) results indicated tourist attitudes, destination images, electronic Word Mouth (eWOM),...
