Location-based advertising or application has been one of the drivers of third-generation mobile operators' marketing efforts in the past few years. As a result, many studies on location-based marketing or advertising have been proposed for recent several years. However, these approaches have two common shortcomings. First. most of them just suggested the theoretical architectures, which were too abstract to apply it to the real-world cases. Second, many of these approaches only consider service provider (seller) rather than customers (buyers). Thus, the prior approaches fit to the automated sales or advertising rather than the implementation of CRM. To mitigate these limitations, this study presents a novel advertisement recommendation model for mobile users. We call our model MAR-CF (Mobile Advertisement Recommender using Collaborative Filtering). Our proposed model is based on traditional CF algorithm, but we adopt the multi-dimensional personalization model to conventional CF for enabling location-based advertising for mobile users. Thus, MAR-CF is designed to make recommendation results for mobile users by considering location, time, and needs type. To validate the usefulness of our recommendation model. we collect the real-world data for mobile advertisements, and perform an empirical validation. Experimental results show that MAR-CF generates more accurate prediction results than other comparative models.

To evaluate the effect of misfit in two implant-supported fixed partial dentures in the posterior of the mandible, variations of the standard finite element models were made by changing the location of the gap as follows: 1) no gap present; 2) located between the gold cylinder and the abutment on the distal implant; 3) gap located between the gold cylinder and the abutment on the mesial implant. The results of this study were as follows: 1. When the location of the gap was close to the load applied on the prosthesis, the stress in the prosthesis, implant components and surrounding bone increased. 2. The presence of cantilever increased the stress in the prosthesis, implant and surrounding bone significantly, regardless of the presence of the gap. 3. When there was a gap between the prosthesis and abutment, the stress in the bone around the implant increased. 4. When passive fit was achieved, the stress was distributed widely in each component with less peak stress in each component. 5. The inner structures of the implant components, the gold screw and the abutment screw bear more stress when the prosthesis did not exhibit passive fit with the abutments than when passive fit was present.

This paper deals with the PCB assembly time minimization problem that the PAP (pick-and-placement) machine pickup the K-weighted group of N-components, loading, and place into the PCB placement location. This problem considers the rotational turret velocity according to component weight group and moving velocity of distance in two component placement locations in PCB. This paper suggest heavy-weight component group first pick-and-place strategy that the feeder sequence fit to the placement location Hamiltonean cycle sequence. This algorithm applies the quadratic assignment problem (QAP) that considers feeder sequence and location sequence, and the linear assignment problem (LAP) that considers only feeder sequence. The proposed algorithm shorten the assembly time than iATMA for QAP, and same result as iATMA that shorten the assembly time than ATMA.

The entropy-based test of fit for the inverse Gaussian distribution presented by Mudholkar and Tian(2002) can only be applied to the composite hypothesis that a sample is drawn from an inverse Gaussian distribution with both the location and scale parameters unknown. In application, however, a researcher may want a test of fit either for an inverse Gaussian distribution with one parameter known or for an inverse Gaussian distribution with both the two partameters known. In this paper, we introduce tests of fit for the inverse Gaussian distribution based on the Kullback-Leibler information as an extension of the entropy-based test. A window size should be chosen to implement the proposed tests. By means of Monte Carlo simulations, window sizes are determined for a wide range of sample sizes and the corresponding critical values of the test statistics are estimated. The results of power analysis for various alternatives report that the Kullback-Leibler information-based goodness-of-fit tests have good power.

This study investigated similarities and differences between 2D flat sketch, 3D virtual clothing and real clothing images. Flat sketch, 3D virtual clothing, and real clothing images of T-shirts and dresses were made. Questionnaires were prepared for fit evaluation, sensory evaluation, and location evaluation. A survey of 440 questionnaires was collected from Chinese women in their 20s and 30s. As results of the sensibility evaluation, 3D virtual clothing expressed real clothing images slightly more similar than a 2D flat sketch. As results of the fit evaluation of the dresses, 2D flat sketch and 3D virtual clothing were rated as slightly longer/wider, and real clothing images were rated as slightly shorter/narrower. The results suggested that presenting 3D images with avatars as 3D virtual clothing images will provide more accurate fit evaluation results. This study presented possibilities and methods for apparel companies to utilize 3D system as an effective apparel production tool.

Statistics are often used to test two samples if they have been drawn from the same underlying distribution. In this paper, we introduce several well-known distribution-free tests to compare distributions and conduct an extensive Monte-Carlo simulation to specify their behaviors. We consider various circumstances of when two distributions vary in (1) location, (2) scale, (3) symmetry, (4) kurtosis, (5) tail weight. A practical guideline for two-sample goodness-of-fit test is presented based on the simulation result.

In this paper, we derive the estimators of the location parameter and the scale parameter in a logistic distribution based on multiply type-II censored samples by the approximate maximum likelihood estimation method. We use four modified empirical distribution function (EDF) types test for the logistic distribution based on multiply type-II censored samples using proposed approximate maximum likelihood estimators. We also propose the modified normalized sample Lorenz curve plot for the logistic distribution based on multiply type-II censored samples. For each test, Monte Carlo techniques are used to generate the critical values. The powers of these tests are also investigated under several alternative distributions.

With the popularity of smartphone, user's location information is of great interest as mobile apps based on the location information are increasing. In this paper, we are interested in analyzing user's speed data based on the location information. It is not uncommon to observe locations with great measurement errors, removing them is necessary. The distribution of speed can be considered as a mixture model in accordance with transportation means. We identify a tail part as a component of a mixture model and fit a simple parametric model to the tail part of the speed distribution.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether a relationship existed between foot type and the location of plantar callus in healthy subjects. Twenty-five healthy subjects with plantar callus were recruited for this study. Foot deformities were classified according to the operational definitions as 1) a compensated forefoot varus, 2) an uncompensated forefoot varus or forefoot valgus, or 3) a compensated rearfoot varus. The location of plantar callus was divided into two regions. Fourteen of the 19 feet with compensated forefoot varus and six of the 9 feet showed plantar callus at the second, third or fourth metatarsal head. Five of the 6 feet with uncompensated forefoot varus and twenty of the 16 feet with forefoot valgus showed plantar callus at the first or fifth metatarsal head. A significant relationship was found between foot type and location of callus (p<.01). The results support the hypothesis that certain foot types are associated with characteristic patterns of pressure distribution and callus formation. We believe diabetic patients with insensitive feet and with the types of foot deformity should be fit with foot orthoses and footwears that accommodate their respective deformity in a position as near to the subtalar joint as possible with the goal of preventing plantar ulceration.

Between different organization, they creat competitiveness from the result of their own manufacturing and sales activity especially the manufacturing companies. This paper will focus on the spot location strategy of korea company which have oversea business and find out the relationship between the spot location strategy and the resources or competitive ability of this kind of companies. Each company has their own way to realize their overseas business expansion and creat their competitiveness in their international business. At the same time, they also have their own way to share their resources and their competitive ability. All this 3 kinds of strategies are important and the combination of them is more important for companies that have overseas business. To examine the relationship between the spot location, the resources and the competitive ability strategies, this paper developed two hypotheses and tested them. To test the hypotheses, this paper conducted a mail survey to operations managers of overseas companies in Korea and collected 102 usable responses. To simplify the responses, this paper used cluster analysis and found 3groups of spot location strategy, 2 groups of resources strategy and 2 groups of competitive abilities strategy. This paper also investigated interdependence and performance differences between these groups. From the analyses, this paper found the following results: It is important for a overseas company to make their spot location strategy to be fit for their resources strategy and competitive abilities strategy and a perfect spot location strategy can make the company gain a advantage of high level in most of time.
