A novel approach to the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) is introduced. The new criterion redefines the penalty terms of the BIC, such that each parameter is penalized with the effective sample size is trained with. Contrary to Local-BIC, the proposed criterion scores overall clustering hypotheses and therefore is not restricted to hierarchical clustering algorithms. Contrary to Global-BIC,...

This paper studies one typical mobile edge computing (MEC) system, where a single user has some intensively calculating tasks to be computed by M nodes (ENs) with much more powerful capability. In particular, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can act as the ENs due its flexibility and high mobility in deployment. For this we propose several EN selection criteria improve system whole performance of ...

This paper studies the statistical errors for the fingerprint-based RADAR neighbor matching localization with the linearly calibrated reference points (RPs) in logarithmic received signal strength (RSS) varying Wi-Fi environment. To the best of our knowledge, little comprehensive analysis work has appeared on the error performance of neighbor matching localization with respect to the deployment...

This study sought to develop and test a measure of social presence. Based on review of current definitions and measures, a synthesis of the theoretical construct that meets the criteria and dimensions [1] is proposed for a broad successful measure of social presence. An experiment was conducted to test the internal consistency and criterion validity of the measures as determined by theory, spec...

The current paper primarily aims to suggest a mathematical model for the shape-dependent term of Khan- Liu (KL) Yield/ fracture criterion as a function of Plastic Strain for DP590 steel alloy. The shape-dependent term in the mention criterion can generalize the application of this criterion in order to predict the behavior of other materials. Plane stress case and the first quarter of the stres...

The term hate crime is instinctively understood across policy and practice domains, but defined differently contexts. Whilst it accepted that a standard universal internationally definition of not possible or desirable, I will seek to create common definitional boundaries for the crime, which allows jurisdictional flexibility whilst retaining core understanding. In doing so, set out parameters ...

Online social networking sites (SNS) are a ubiquitous platform for communication. However, SNS can provide opportunities for abuse and harassment, typically referred to as cyberbullying. The current study examined adolescent victims’ understanding of cyberbullying, the specific types of cyberbullying events experienced in SNS and the impact of these events. Twenty-five adolescents (15–24 years ...
