Based on a three-year inductive field study of first-time founders, we reveal the dynamic identity relationships that tie founders to their ventures: what such relationships comprise, how they evolve over time, and with what strategic implications for the ...

The road traffic system is a complex system composed of people, vehicles, roads, and the environment. Any factor in it has an impact on road traffic safety, and the comprehensive interaction between different factors has different impacts on traffic ...

Digital games allow us to adopt the avatar's perspective and experience the (virtual) world from another point of view. The positive effects of such role swaps are well-documented in contexts such as combating racial or ethnic biases. Our work expands ...

We present a mathematical framework for understanding when successfully distinguishing a person from all other persons in a data set—a phenomenon which we call isolation—may enable identification, a notion which is central to deciding whether a ...

This paper proposes an Efficient Perspective-n-Point (EPnP)-based You Only Look Once (YOLO) 3D object detection algorithm that aims to be applied to the navigation and localization system of autonomous robots when they work in outdoor ...

A method for banknote identification has been developed. As a prerequisite for this process, an ATM stores records captured from accepted banknotes, including customer's information for identification. The proposed method is implemented when a ...

The problem of output-feedback compensation of bounded additive perturbations affecting a minimum-phase linear system with unknown parameters is considered. An adaptive auxiliary loop is developed, which does not require to know the perturbation ...

Although employees come up with creative (i.e., novel and useful) ideas, many of those ideas are not endorsed or implemented by managers. In shedding light on this phenomenon, we propose that managers who have lower social status in the organization are ...

In modern organizations, key sources of competitive advantage are embedded in employees. Management theory has traditionally viewed employee exit as the end of firms’ relationships with employees and, consequently, the end of access to human capital and ...

The classroom is the most basic and important learning venue for college students. With the development of information technology, various online teaching platforms and mobile apps have been widely used in universities, which has brought great ...

Behavioral Biometrics in Virtual Reality (VR) enable implicit user identification by leveraging the motion data of users’ heads and hands from their interactions in VR. This spatiotemporal data forms a Kinetic Signature, which is a user-dependent ...

The identification of switched systems amounts to a mixed integer nonlinear optimization problem, where the continuous variables are associated to the model parameterizations of the different modes, and the discrete ones are related to the ...

An adaptive state-feedback control system is proposed for a class of linear time-varying systems represented in the controller canonical form. The adaptation problem is reduced to the one of Taylor series-based first approximations of the ideal ...

We consider identification and estimation with an outcome missing not at random (MNAR). We study an identification strategy based on a so-called shadow variable. A shadow variable is assumed to be correlated with the outcome but independent of the ...

Problem statement

Missingness not at random (MNAR) arises in many empirical studies in biomedical, socioeconomic, and epidemiological researches. A fundamental problem of MNAR is the identification problem, that is, the parameter of interest ...

Building accurate knowledge of the identity, the geographic distribution and the evolution of species is essential for the sustainable development of humanity, as well as for biodiversity conservation. However, species identification and inventory ...

n smart cities, sanitation workers are the key to urban construction. Accurate targeting of sanitation workers can help managers better monitor and manage them. Pedestrian detection is the core and key component of object detection technology. The ...

Critical applications ranging from sensitive military data to restricted area access demand selective user authentication. The prevalent methods of tokens, passwords, and other commonly used techniques proved deficient as they can be easily stolen, lost, ...

Identification of students with learning disabilities (LD) requires analysis of various parameters, including student's analytical quotient, logical reasoning, mathematical analysis and Language processing capabilities, etc. Models like convolutional ...

Soldier-medic. Undercover police officer. Collaborative divorce attorney. Certain jobs require an individual to enact antithetical sets of role expectations (to do X and not-X), such as saving a life and taking a life, in the case of a soldier-medic. ...

In many environments, a component external to a network is called upon to perform computations based on the network topology and the current state of the connections within the network, including Traffic Engineering (TE) information. This is information ...
