Personalized network marketing refers to the technique that allows network-marketing decisions to be made based on the results of the collection and analysis of user profiles. In this paper, we propose an interactive questionnaire mechanism whose design objective is to produce timely and reliable user profile attributes in an incremental fashion through an intelligent interface accessible from ...

Interferometry in POLSAR performs two acquisitions (spatially separated by the baseline) of the scattering matrix for each resolution cell. The advantages of interferometry (height and/or displacement information) are enhanced by the polarimetric decomposition techniques. In this paper a two-step approach is proposed to obtain specific features from multivariate SAR data sets, either multi-temp...

A large body of research addresses the representation, construction and interactive control of 3D curves for various applications. Interactively controlling curves with empirical physical attributes of stiffness and elasticity that bend and wrap around 3D scene geometry is a common and challenging problem. In this paper we address this problem with a novel 3D curve called a cord. A cord is crea...

We propose a visual analytic system to augment and enhance decision-making processes of supply chain managers. Several design requirements drive the development of our integrated architecture and lead to three primary capabilities of our system prototype. First, a visual analytic system must integrate various relevant views and perspectives that highlight different structural aspects of a suppl...

Process discovery methods automatically infer process models based on events logs that are recorded by information systems. Several heuristic process discovery methods have been proposed to cope with less structured processes and the presence of noise in the event log. However, (1) a large parameter space needs to be explored, (2) several of the many available heuristics can be chosen from, (3)...

dust accumulation capacity of ficus carica l. and psidium guajava l. was investigated from eight different sites of multan, pakistan.  leaves of both plants were used for analyzing biometric (leaf area, fresh and dry weights) and biochemical attributes (chlorophyll contents, carotenoids and ascorbic acid).  maximum dust accumulation was occurred in the plants growing near road sites, while, min...

PROBLEM STATEMENT: CIECAM97s was chosen as a CIE recommended color appearance model based on its high-performance on object color appearance predictions under various viewing conditions. The model had been developed on the basis of well-defined features from other models. An IDL interactive CIECAM97s tool has been developed in order to demonstrate the influence of CIECAM97s parameters on images...

Segmentation based on RFM (Recency, Frequency, and Monetary) has been used for over 50 years by direct marketers to target a subset of their customers, save mailing costs, and improve profits. RFM analysis is commonly performed using the Arthur Hughes method, which bins each of the three RFM attributes independently into five equal frequency bins. The resulting 125 cells are depicted in a tabul...

in what follows, the author has dealt with the relation between the necessary being as an unchangeable essence and his changeable and unchangeable attributes. neither is the ascription of any changeable attribute impossible for god nor is the ascription of any kind of unchangeable attribute possible. as the change of genitive attributes does not demand the change in the essence, it is possible ...

the relation between ethics and human good and evil attributes and his nature is among the age-old discourses in the field of practical philosophy (wisdom). since long ago, it has been of concern to the learned and the philosophers as to whether all ethics or a part of it in all human beings or in some of them is optional and acquired or non-optional, unacquirable, and unchangeable. this writin...
