When we use a mathematical model to represent information, we can obtain a closed and convex set of probability distributions, also called a credal set. This type of representation involves two types of uncertainty called conflict (or randomness) and non-specificity, respectively. The imprecise Dirichlet model (IDM) allows us to carry out inference about the probability distribution of a catego...

A prospective study was performed comparing bilirubin concentrations in 10 breast fed term infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) to those of 10 breast fed normal term infants. The beta-glucuronidase concentrations in serum and breast milk were assayed in the respective mothers. Significantly higher bilirubin concentrations were noted in the IDM group. Serum and breast milk beta-glucuronidase concen...

Abstract The lane-change transportation research usually focuses on the efficiency and stability of macro traffic flow while ignoring driving comfort individual vehicles. And many studies models are often limited to performance a single vehicle, which leads lack macroscopic evaluation. To solve above limitations, an automatic generalized dynamic model is adopted. In this model, behavior vehicle...

Technologies and public policies in relation to identity management (IDM) are changing rapidly and our understanding of public attitudes to such change is not well developed. In this paper we consider attitudes to new and near-future IDM technologies in groups of vulnerable teenagers. This paper describes how we engaged with these groups, giving examples of our use of ‘design provocations’ that...

Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) is a well-known microscopic model of traffic flow within the traffic engineering societies. While it is a powerful technique for modeling traffic flows, the Intelligent Driver Model lacks the potential of accommodating the notion of drivers’ heterogeneous behavior whenever they are on roads. Concerning the above mentioned, this paper takes the lane to recognize th...

Hydrological forecasting can provide the basis for dealing with the conflict between flood control and water use. This paper proposes a flood and sediment forecasting method for rivers by deriving an energy equation which describes the conservation of potential slope, kinetic slope, and friction slope of a river reach. The equation contains an additional term, the rate of change of stage, which...

This paper aims at setting the context for privacy-aware information lifecycle management within enterprises, i.e. the process of handling the lifecycle of personal and confidential information in a way that is compliant with privacy laws and people’s expectations (including data retention, deletion, notifications, data transformation, etc.). Despite the fact that enterprises are already using ...

Identity management (IdM) comprises the processes and infrastructure for the creation and maintenance of user’s digital identities and the designation of who has access to resources, who grants that access, and how accountability and compliance are maintained. Identity management in organizations is done centrally using an enterprise identity management system (IdM system) or in a distributed f...
