Even though Privacy concerns (PC) and security concerns (SC) are acknowledged as separate constructs, many studies argue that they are related or, even worse, confused. Building upon the non-overlapping SC and PC dimensions, we propose Internet Users Information Transmission Security Concern (IUITSC) scale. We argue that the scale when used in conjunction with PC scale would cover the entire ga...

The main objective of this paper is to design and develop an automatic vehicle, fully controlled by a computer system. The vehicle designed in the present work can move in a pre-determined path and work automatically without the need of any human operator and it also controlled by human operator. Such a vehicle is capable of performing wide variety of difficult tasks in space research, domestic...

We demonstrate an experiment which utilizes a Sagnac interferometer to measure a change in optical frequency of 129 ± 7 kHz/√Hz with only 2 mW of continuous-wave, single-mode input power. We describe the measurement of a weak value and show how even higher-frequency sensitivities may be obtained over a bandwidth of several nanometers. This technique has many possible applications, such as preci...

We introduce a mathematically rigorous formulation for nonlocal interface problem with jumps and propose an asymptotically compatible finite element discretization the weak form of problem. After proving well-posedness form, we demonstrate that solutions to converge corresponding local counterpart when data are appropriately prescribed. Several numerical tests in one two dimensions show applica...

We first introduce 20 weak forms of continuity, which are closely related to 5 known weak forms of continuity. Then we classify them into 9 groups and give 12 decompositions of continuity. 1. Introduction. Continuity is one of the most important concepts in mathematics. In order to find deep properties of continuity, many weak forms of continuity were introduced in the literature. For instance,...

In this work we define generalized weak structures which naturally generalize minimal structures, generalized topologies and weak structures recently proposed in the literature. Moreover, we study some properties of the interior, the closure and other concepts in this new context. Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 54A05, Secondary 54D10

This paper considers a supply chain where a manufacturer sells its product through a retailer. In such a market, a potential entrant can make a substitute product by imitating the incumbent's product and then sells it to the common market with one of three alternative entry modes: (i) selling through the incumbent's retailer, (ii) selling through another independent retailer, or (iii) selling d...

We study interacting components and their compatibility with respect to synchronous and asynchronous composition. The behavior of components is formalized by I/O-transition systems. Synchronous composition is based on simultaneous execution of shared output and input actions of two components while asynchronous composition uses unbounded FIFO-buffers for message transfer. In both contexts we st...

avila and molina [1] introduced the notion of generalized weak structures which naturally generalize minimal structures, generalized topologies and weak structures and the structures α(g),π(g),σ(g) and β(g). this work is a further investigation of generalized weak structures due to avila and molina. further we introduce the structures ro(g) and rc(g) and study the properties of the structur...

in this note we introduce the notion of weak mccoy rings as a generalization of mccoy rings, and investigate their properties. also we show that, if is a semi-commutative ring, then is weak mccoy if and only if is weak mccoy.
