Knowing where a protein occurs in the cell is an important step towards understanding its function [1]. Hence, a method for accurately predicting the subcellular location would be valuable in interpreting the data being provided by sequencing projects. Among some methods (e.g. search for signal peptides, infer the location by sequence homology) the correlation between the total aminoacid compos...

proposing a robust designed facility location is one of the most effective ways to hedge against unexpected disruptions and failures in a transportation network system. this paper considers the combined facility location/network design problem with regard to transportation link disruptions and develops a mixed integer linear programming formulation to model it. with respect to the probability o...

This paper describes recent progress on Crosswatch, a smartphone-based computer vision system developed by the authors for providing guidance to blind and visually impaired pedestrians at traffic intersections. One of Crosswatch's key capabilities is determining the user's location (with precision much better than what is obtainable by GPS) and orientation relative to the crosswalk markings in ...

W e began our work on the Lancaster Guide project in 1997 with the aim of exploring the issues arising from developing and deploying context-sensitive applications. Specifically, we aimed to develop and deploy a context-sensitive tour guide for the city of Lancaster, UK. Motivated by the work on CyberGuide at Georgia Tech, we envisioned a system that could provide tailor-made tours for visitors...

in this study the location routing problem with fuzzy parameters is taken into account, this problem involves determining the location of the depots and routing of the vehicles in order to serve the customers. in this study a location routing problem with fuzzy travel times and due dates is considered and two objective models are proposed. the considered objectives are minimizing the total cost...
