SUMMARY In this paper, we propose a framework that provides users with personalized interfaces by sharing user-centric context between real and virtual environments. The proposed framework consists of ubi-UCAM for generating user's contexts, NAVER for managing virtual environment, and rv-Interface for linking ubi-UCAM with NAVER. Firstly, personalized interface helps users to concentrate on the...

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 ...

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...

objective(s): to review the findings of the patients with sjögren’s syndrome (ss) having technetium-99m-pertechnetate (99mtc-pertechnetate) and gallium-67 citrate (ga-67) salivary gland scintigraphy in the past eight years.methods: the patients with ss, who were referred to our department for salivary gland scintigraphy during january 2008-december 2015 were studied using both 99mtc-pertechneta...

we report a three-phase bone scintigraphy for the diagnosis of a peripheral bone lesion caused by systemic sarcoidosis. a 32-year-old man with suspected osteomyelitis of the right forefinger underwent three-phase bone scintigraphy with tc-99m hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (hmdp) and single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (spect/ct). the lesion was rich in blood flow acc...

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.
