Abstract Inspection planning approaches so far have focused on automatically obtaining an optimal set of viewpoints required to cover a given object. While research has provided interesting results, the automatic inspection still not been made part everyday system development process. This is mostly because plans are difficult verify and it impossible compare them laboratory-developed plans. In...

To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of Community Health Survey (CHS), we analyzed data from 11,217 participants aged ≥ 19 yr, in 13 cities and counties in 2008. Three healthcare utilization indices (admission, outpatient visits, dental visits) as comparative variables and the insurance benefit claim data of the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service as the gold-standard were used....

Abstract The fashion industry is progressively investing in technology, and the benefits of Extended Reality (XR) are not going unnoticed. Despite widespread interest topic, literature limited topic poorly understood. This study brings XR to forefront. Based on a review several sources (latest news, reports, literature), it describes current landscape, presents advantages downsides immersive te...

The technical and economic benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) are counterbalanced by legal, social ethical issues. It is challenging to conceptually capture empirically measure both downsides. We therefore provide an account the findings implications a multi-dimensional study AI, comprising 10 case studies, five scenarios, impact analysis human rights AI known potential threats vulnerabil...

It is inevitable that digital transformation and technological advancement in ICT sector brings drastic changes into every aspect of our lives, it has become top priorities the countries around world for successful utilization mode learning teaching within education sector. Though fall semester university started off with regular regulations, all services were shut down due to local transmissio...

This paper analyzes trajectory observations from vehicles driving in platoon formation and they are equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Cooperative (CACC) systems; aiming to quantify response delays. When a preceding vehicle induces perturbation, the delay until reaction of following vehicle, often quoted as observable time, can have negative implication traffic flow other factors such ...

Our paper provides an explanation why cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) provisions and their characteristics vary widely across U.S. industries. We develop models of optimal risk sharing between a firm and union to investigate the determinants of a number of contract characteristics. These include the presence and degree of wage indexing, the magnitude of deferred noncontingent wage increases, c...

The silicon-on-insulator (SOI) material system is today widely recognized as one of the most important platforms for the development of photonic components. This is mainly due to the fact that the mass fabrication techniques of the CMOS technology can be used for the fabrication of these SOI components. However, using silicon for photonic components has significant downsides. For example, it is...
