Predicting the location an image was taken at is a long standing research problem in computer vision. Given the recent successes with using deep learning techniques, we present a series of approaches towards image geo-location using a variety of deep learning techniques. This report describes our implementation and experimental set-up of training the GoogLeNet and AlexNet architectures on a sam...

This article is going to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the Hotel Industry on a global basis and to study the viability of a hotel project, taking into account the five competitive forces of Michael Porter’s Model. The main competitive forces and factors within those forces will determine the feasibility and potential profitability in a hotel project. The two crucial factors that enabl...

This paper presents location based service for telecom providers. Most of the location-based services in the mobile networks are introduced and deployed by Internet companies. It leaves for telecom just the role of the data channel. Telecom providers should use their competitive advantages and offer own solutions. In this paper, we discuss the sharing location information via geo messages. Geo ...

Under study is the problem of locating facilities when two competing companies successively open their facilities. Each client chooses an open facility according to his own preferences and return interests to the leader firm or to the follower firm. The problem is to locate the leader firm so as to realize the maximum profit (gain) subject to the responses of the follower company and the availa...

Rietveld analyses of neutron powder diffraction data of D2 in Cu3(BTC)2, where BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate, reveals the location and progressive filling of six distinct D2 sites within the nanopore structure. Location of the primary site at the coordinatively unsaturated Cu atoms provides direct structural evidence of the potential importance of such metal sites to hydrogen storage. Compe...

We consider the minimum spanning tree problem in a setting where information about the edge weights of the given graph is uncertain. Initially, for each edge e of the graph only a set Ae, called an uncertainty area, that contains the actual edge weight we is known. The algorithm can ‘update’ e to obtain the edge weight we ∈ Ae. The task is to output the edge set of a minimum spanning tree after...

The aim of this study was to quantify the prominence levels of elite and highly competitive young soccer players. This study also analyzed the variation in general network properties at different competitive levels and periods of the season. A total of 132 matches, played by 28 teams during the 2015/2016 season, were analyzed. The results revealed significant differences in the composition of g...

Economic geography in an era of global competition poses a paradox. In theory, location should no longer be a source of competitive advantage. Open global markets, rapid transportation, and high-speed communications should allow any company to source any thing from any place at any time. But in practice, Michael Porter demonstrates, location remains central to competition. Today's economic map ...
