This paper presents our approach to reducing the power consumption in our Gait Measurement System (GMS), which is the foundation for various monitoring and assistive systems. Our GMS is a small foot-mounted device based on an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), containing an accelerometer and a gyroscope. It can compute gait parameters in real-time, including cadence, velocity and stride length, b...

Globalization is one of the most important developments of the late twentieth century, which is continued intensively in the twenty first century. Due to the complexity and multifaceted terms of the subject matter and level of analysis, there has been multiple and even contradictory definition for it. One of the most significant debates in the field of globalization is whether globalization lea...

Sport, in particular football, constitutes one of the most dynamic, sociologically illuminating domains of globalization. This paper examines the globalization of football with particular reference to Robertson's theorizations of global processes.

The effects of uniting separated markets, each monopolized by a producer, into a globalized oligopolistic market, which is regarded as a non-cooperative game, are investigated. The cases where such globalization degrades the profits or surpluses of all producers, are examined. Linear demand and production functions are considered. The revenues of producers and consumers are assumed to be indepe...

The offshoring of manufacturing has been the most visible ingredient of economic globalization in recent years. However, the rapid change in the global division of manufacturing has overshadowed another – and perhaps even more significant phenomena – namely the internationalization of the R&D and inventive activities of firms. In concrete terms this means that researchers and inventors increasi...

This paper focuses on two major aspects of globalization: international trade and FDI and their impacts on manufacturing employment in Iran and study whether foreign direct investment and trade expansion with Asian and European partner played any role in shaping the Iranian manufacturing employment structure. This study incorporates globalization (KOF index), trade integration and FDI into a si...

the probability that the commutator of two group elements is equal to a given element has been introduced in literature few years ago. several authors have investigated this notion with methods of the representation theory and with combinatorial techniques. here we illustrate that a wider context may be considered and show some structural restrictions on the group.
