Limits of Predictability in Human Mobility

Science, 2010
Predictable Travel RoutinesWhile people rarely perceive their actions to be random, current models of human activity are fundamentally stochastic. Processes that rely on human mobility patterns, like the prediction of new epidemics, traffic engineering, or city planning, could benefit from highly accurate predictive models.

Depression in Older Persons with Mobility Limitations

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2014
The impact of depression on physical disability is undisputed. There is convincing evidence that depression increases the subsequent risk for physical disability and, in turn, physical disability results in increased depressive symptoms. Moreover, depression affects also the earlier stages of the disablement process (including functional limitation in ...

An efficiency limit of cellular mobile systems

Computer Communications, 1999
In order to limit handoff blocking probability, in cellular systems admission control can be applied to new call requests and resources reserved for future handoff attempts. Such resource reservation strategies have been widely studied in the literature.

Injuries Limiting the Mobility of the Thumb

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1950
Abstract The causes of disability following injury in the region of the thenar eminence and the web space of the thumb are enumerated. The anatomic and physiologic principles underlying treatment of the disabilities are discussed. A rational plan for the reconstruction of hands disabled in this way is proposed.

Placing Wireless Chargers with Limited Mobility

IEEE INFOCOM 2020 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications, 2020
This paper studies the problem of Placing directional wIreless chargers with Limited mObiliTy (PILOT), that is, given a budget of mobile directional wireless chargers and a set of static rechargeable devices on a 2D plane, determine deployment positions, stop positions and orientations, and portions of time for all chargers such that overall charging ...

Shallow Foundations in Karst: Limited Mobility Grout or Not Limited Mobility Grout

Grouting and Ground Treatment, 2003
Construction of shallow foundations in karstic geology always carries risks. In many cases, the perceived risks are high enough for the engineer to recommend alternative deep foundations or ground modification. The difficulties associated with construction of deep foundations in karst have led to the development of Limited Mobility Grouting (LMG ...

Limited Mobility, Eventual Stability

2015
The IPv6 Mobility protocol, an archetypal system for supporting communication amongst mobile devices, presents challenging verification problems. While model-checking techniques have been used to illustrate subtle oversights and flaws in the informal specifications previously, the more difficult question — whether it is possible to verify the ...
