The omnipresent mobile networks, such as Wi-Fi, WLAN, and network provided by mobile operators, facilitate the whole world connected. Mobile technology users can access to the world with the networks, making them feel constant connection to others which predicts the perception of invasion. This study aims to explore the boundary condition of this relationship from two perspectives—individuals’ ...

Each t-norm can be identified with its Cayley tomonoid, which consists of pairwise commuting order-preserving functions from the real unit interval to itself. Cayley tomonoids provide an easily manageable, yet versatile tool for the construction of t-norms. To give evidence to this claim, we review and reformulate several construction methods that are known in the literature. We adopt, on the o...

Complexity of Gaussian radial-basis-function networks, with varying widths, is investigated. Upper bounds on rates of decrease of approximation errors with increasing number of hidden units are derived. Bounds are in terms of norms measuring smoothness (Bessel and Sobolev norms) multiplied by explicitly given functions a(r, d) of the number of variables d and degree of smoothness r. Estimates a...

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is a crucial coordination option for knowledge workers who rotate at their discretion across locations and projects. Through field-based research, we find that this discretion may encompass even the act of communication. As incoming information from knowledge worker colleagues overwhelms the recipients, conciseness and brevity communication norms arise to s...

We augment A. Singh's "Regulation of Human Sexual Behavior, Sex Revolution and Emergence of AIDS: A Historical Perspective," Bull. Ind. Inst. Hist. Med. (1997), by clarifying why medicine is ignored despite unprecedented pathogenic norms of Western society. While these societal norms are well correlated to etiological findings on divorce and extramarital sex, the norms cannot be rooted properly...

Nonlocality is at the heart of quantum information processing. In this paper we investigate the minimum amount of classical communication required in order to simulate a nonlocal quantum measurement. We derive general upper bounds, which in turn translate to systematic classical simulations of quantum communication protocols. As a concrete application, we prove that any quantum communication pr...

Understanding norms is a key challenge in sociology. Nevertheless, there is a lack of dynamical models explaining how one of several possible behaviors is established as a norm and under what conditions. Analysing an agent-based model, we identify interesting parameter dependencies that imply when two behaviors will coexist or when a shared norm will emerge in a heterogeneous society, where dif...

This research examines how moral values regulate the behavior of individual group members. It argues that group members behave in line with moral group norms because they anticipate receiving ingroup respect when enacting moral values that are shared by ingroup members. Data from two experimental studies offer evidence in support. In Study 1 (N = 82), morality-based (but not competence-based) i...

Network sharing is a commonly used solution for macro cellular networks when mobile operators want to exploit benefits of sharing infrastructure, typically to save network costs. For local area and indoor networks infrastructure sharing using distributed antenna systems (DAS) and repeaters are commonly used solutions to improve indoor coverage. For these applications multi-operator solutions ar...
