Several developing Asian countries recorded a high level of private based motorisation, specifically car and motorcycle ownership. Continuous rise in the motorisations may lead to issues such as traffic congestions, fuel consumption pollutions. For that reason, there is need investigate determinant ownership interdependency between Sarawak, Malaysia. This study used time series annual data usin...

The interdependency of information security risks poses a significant challenge for firms to manage security. Firms may overor under-invest in security because security investments generate network externalities. In this paper, we explore how firms can use three risk management approaches, third-party cyberinsurance, managed security service (MSS) and risk pooling arrangement (RPA), to address ...

In this paper, we propose a method for face parts localization called Structured-Output Regression Forests (SO-RF). We assume that the spatial graph of face parts structure can be partitioned into star graphs associated with individual parts. At each leaf, a regression model for an individual part as well as an interdependency model between parts in the star graph is learned. During testing, in...

According to the requirements of concurrent engineering, three interdependency relationships (uncoupled relationship, coupled relationship and decoupled relationship) between design activities are presented in this paper. And the coupled relationship plays an important role in concurrent product design process. To represent the precedence relationships among design activities, a directed graph ...

The investigation of linguistic expressions of space and time typically presupposes an interdependency between these two related conceptual domains, resulting in a quasi-metaphorical relationship in which time is secondary to space. I have approached this general idea from a range of perspectives, focusing on the question whether the interrelationship has any concrete consequences on the usage ...

There has been a big interest in inducing classes of grammars in the area of machine learning. Various attempts have been carried out for automatically inferring diierent grammar classes. The symbolic nature of the grammar induction problem makes it suitable for the GP-approach. However the straightforward application of the GP method on Context Free Grammar Induction problem fails to generate ...

The prevalence of aging infrastructure and an increase in cascading failures have highlighted the need to focus on building strong, interdependent infrastructure systems to increase resilience. To understand the ways infrastructure systems depend on one another, we define three comprehensive interdependency types – service provision, geographic, and access for repair. We propose a methodology t...

The mobility behavior of human beings is predictable to a varying degree e.g. depending on the traits of their personality such as the trait extraversion introversion: the mobility of introvert users may be more dominated by routines and habitual movement patterns, resulting in a more predictable mobility behavior on the basis of their own location history while, in contrast, extrovert users ge...
