As a key research issue in mobile crowdsensing (MCS), recent studies on task recommendation have begun to focus recommending tasks participants according the learned participant preferences. The common drawbacks of these are that, one hand, factors affecting preferences predefined, which is not practical as influential quite complex and full map profiles needs be preexisted. On other they do co...

Numerous innovative controllers and collaborative tactile interfaces have been developed for social interaction with sound. This evolutionary field of interaction design has led to a wide range of compositional models that increasingly mirror the open source methodologies developed by the creators of such systems. The authors consider the software integration of such systems as a potential mode...

background: obesity seems to be associated to migraine headache. increase in body fat, especially in gluteofemoral region, elevates adiponectin and leptin secretion which in turn impair inflammatory processes that could be contributing to migraine risk. this study was designed to assess the relationship between body composition and risk of migraine for the first time. methods: in this cross-sec...

Loop agreement is a family of distributed tasks that includes set agreement and simplex agreement, and was used to prove the undecidability of wait-free solvability of distributed tasks by read/write memory. Herlihy and Rajsbaum defined the algebraic signature of a loop agreement task, which consists of a group and a distinguished element. They used the algebraic signature to characterize the r...

In Germany, about half of the school-leavers – irrespective their school-leaving certificate start an apprenticeship instead entering labour market or university. Firms act as gatekeepers who influence which apprenticeship. Previous studies have provided important information on reasons firms train. By analysing tasks, I consider additional characteristic that probably influences firms’ trainin...
