Privacy in location-based systems is a major concern, since many mobile phones have a GPS sensor that can report location within 10 meters of accuracy. The contributions of this paper are in three folds. First, we examine privacy issues in snapshot queries, and present our work and results in this area. The proposed method can guarantee that all queries are protected, while previously proposed ...

With recent technological advancements in mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets, Location-Based Services (LBSs) have surfaced as prominent applications in mobile networks. An important challenge in the wide deployment of location-based services (LBSs) is the privacyaware management of location information, providing safeguards for location privacy of mobile clients against vulnerabil...

'Continuous attractor' neural networks can maintain a localised packet of neuronal activity representing the current state of an agent in a continuous space without external sensory input. In applications such as the representation of head direction or location in the environment, only one packet of activity is needed. For some spatial computations a number of different locations, each with its...

introduction. today continuous medical education is under consideration for graduated medical students as a necessity in today's world and has had its importance about one decade in our country (iran) . methods. recognition of opinions in various occupational actions of post graduated persons is very important in attention for reevaluation the program of continuous teaching in post graduat...

the morphology of retinal photoreceptor layer was studied in continuous light-exposed and dark-adapteddomestic male cats (felis catus). the eyes of 12 healthy adult cats (4 in continuous light-exposed group, 4 in continuous dark-adapted group, and 4 in control group) were routinely fixed and studied by electron microscope. results showed that the general structure of photoreceptor layer in this...

Existing location-based services provide specialized services to their customers based on the knowledge of their exact locations. With untrustworthy servers, location-based services may lead to several privacy threats ranging from worries over employers snooping on their workers’ whereabouts to fears of tracking by potential stalkers. While there exist several techniques to preserve location pr...

the aim of this paper is to prove a common fixed point theorem for nonexpansive type single valued mappings which include both continuous and discontinuous mappings by relaxing the condition of continuity by weak reciprocally continuous mapping. our result is generalize and extends the corresponding result of jhade et al. [p.k. jhade, a.s. saluja and r. kushwah, coincidence and fixed points of ...

In this paper, fault location accuracies in a 2400 km long overhead HVdc line and 300km long underground cable HVdc line using the two-terminal travelling wave method are investigated. The paper proposes to use continuous wavelet transform for detecting the arrival time of travelling waves, and shows that it provides better accuracy when compared with the commonly used discrete wavelet transfor...
