The Plateau–Bézier problem consists in finding the Bézier surface with minimal area from among all Bézier surfaces with prescribed border. An approximation to the solution of the Plateau–Bézier problem is obtained by replacing the area functional with the Dirichlet functional. Some comparisons between Dirichlet extremals and Bézier surfaces obtained by the use of masks related with minimal surf...

Spatial information associates properties to labeled areas. Space is partitioned into (elementary) parcels, and union of parcels constitute areas. Properties may have various level of generality, giving birth to a taxonomy of properties for a given universe of discourse. Thus, the set of properties pertaining to a conceptual taxonomy, as the set of areas and parcels, are structured by a natural...

several differing figures exist pertaining to the boarders and boundaries of the islamic republic of iran, with different computed areas. therefore, based on the geographical forces, mission and organization, with the aim of preventing any disagreements, taking relative consensus, scientific literature, research and development into consideration, it is proposed for the first time to determine ...

Application functionality in business-to-business marketplaces today covers a smaller range of a company's overall procurement activities. Not every product or service can be acquired using catalogs, auctions or tenders. With the growing number of market transactions to be supported electronically, we expect a range of applications that will handle other forms of transactions. We hold that to a...

Research in knowledge representation has led to the development of so-called terminological logics, the purpose of which is to support the representation of the conceptual and terminological part of Artiicial Intelligence applications. Independently, in computational linguistics, so-called feature logics have been developed which are aimed at representing the semantic and syntactic information ...

Supplier selection is a common and relevant phase to initialize the supply chain processes ensure its sustainability. The choice of supplier multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) obtain optimal based on group criteria. health care sector faces several types problems, one most important selecting an appropriate that fits desired performance level. development service/product quality in facilitie...

Participation of people is the most important factor in providing high quality of service in participatory sensing applications. In this paper we study monetary incentives in order to stimulate user’s participation, especially in applications that rely on real-time data. Providing such incentives is hard because the service provider cannot determine the price at which each user would be willing...

This study will examine all the attributive words with the word ‘Muslim’ in the time magazine corpus. This study will basically focus on the choice of attributive words which time magazine used for the Muslims. Language is a discourse so the study of attributive words from the time magazines corpus is a type of media discourse. The critical discourse analysis explores all those social aspects w...
