Entropy is a basic and important concept in information theory. It is also often used as a measure of the unpredictability of a cryptographic key in cryptography research areas. Ubiquitous computing (Ubi-comp) has emerged rapidly as an exciting new paradigm. In this special issue, we mainly selected and discussed papers related with ore theories based on the graph theory to solve computational ...

This special section is committed to capture the state-of-the-art and recent advances on various aspects of intelligent multimedia system and data management for ubiquitous computing (Ubi-Com). It aims to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of intelligent multimedia system ...

Sorghum serves as staple food for millions of people in Asia. It ranks as the sixth most planted crop and it is vulnerable to fungal diseases resulting in decreased grain quality and yield loss. Agrobacterium strains used were LBA4404 harbouring pcambia-ubi-chi11 (rice chitinase), EHA105 harbouring pcambia-ubi RC7 (rice chitinase) with bar gene and EHA105 harbouring pMKURF2 (rice chitinase gene...

Abstract We compare two welfare programs: the universal basic income (UBI) and negative tax (NIT). Under a linear system, we show that (i) NIT can replicate allocation of UBI exactly by providing an identical marginal effective schedule, (ii) budget is always smaller than UBI. According to our quantitative model, which calibrated approximate wealth distributions in United States, optimal pay ev...

Some interesting properties of dislocated quasi-metric are obtained. Using these properties some fixed point theorems for contractions and Kannan mappings are derived dropping continuity condition imposed by F. M. Zeyada et al (The Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering, Volume 31, Number 1A, (2005), 111–114), C. T. Aage and J. N. Salunke (Applied Mathematical Sciences, Vol. 2,59 (2008) 29...

The effects of automation on our economy and society are more palpable than ever, with nearly half jobs at risk being fully executed by machines over the next decade or two. Policymakers scholars alike have championed Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a catch-all solution to this problem. This paper examines shortcomings UBI in addressing automation-led large-scale displacement labor analyzing em...

Proposals for a Universal Basic Income (UBI) have long history, but surge of interest since the global financial crisis suggests connection to growing inequality and insecurity. The pandemic intensified through explosion in use cash transfers. This special issue arose from pre-pandemic debates among Australian sociologists connecting around UBI emerging patterns insecurity stemming Australia's ...

  Introduction: Ubiquicidin 29-41 (UBI) is a fragment of the cationic antimicrobial peptide that is present in various species including humans. The purpose of this study was to investigate radiochemical and biological characteristics of [6-hydrazinopyridine-3-carboxylic acid (HYNIC)]-UBI 29-41 designed for the labeling with 99mTc using tricine as coligand....
