Limits of predictability for large-scale urban vehicular mobility
No full textKey challenges in vehicular transportation and communication systems are understanding vehicular mobility and utilizing mobility prediction, which are vital for both solving the congestion problem and helping to build efficient vehicular communication networking. Most of the existing works mainly focus on designing algorithms for mobility prediction and exploring utilization of these algorithms. However, the crucial questions of how much the mobility is predictable and how the mobility predictability can be used to enhance the system performance are still the open and unsolved problems. In this paper, we consider the fundamental problem of the predictability limits of vehicular mobility. By using two large-scale urban city vehicular traces, we propose an intuitive but effective model of areas transition to describe the vehicular mobility among the areas divided by the city intersections. Based on this model, we examine the predictability limits of large-scale urban vehicular networks and obtain the maximal predictability based on the methodology of entropy theory. Our study finds that about 78%–99% of the location and above 70% of the staying time, respectively, are predicable. Our findings thus reveal that there is strong regularity in the daily vehicular mobility, which can be exploited in practical prediction algorithm design

No full textArtimpaza brevilineata Tian & Chen, 2012 in Tian, Chen & Li, 2012: 43, figs. 1–9. (Figs. 28a, b) Type locality: China, Yunnan, Pu’er City, Yutang. Gender: female. Date collected: 2011.V.25 (2010.V.25, in the original description, is incorrect). Collector: Li-Chao TIAN & Gui-Qiang HUANG. Paratypes: 1 female, China, Yunnan, Lincang City, 1980.VI.1, Fen LIU leg. Remarks: In the original description, the type locality is “ Yunnan, Jinghong” while it is “ Yunnan, Yutang” according to the label. “Yutang” is actually in Pu’er, not Jinghong. The first author described the type locality by mistake. In the original description, the collector was only listed as Li-Chao TIAN, which was a mistake.Published as part of Li, Zhu & Chen, Li, 2020, Primary types of longhorned beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Vesperidae and Disteniidae) of Southwest University (SWU), pp. 25-46 in Zootaxa 4718 (1) on page 33, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4718.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/360220

Author Affiliation Index: A New Approach to Marketing Journal Ranking
No full textPrevious research has adopted various methods to assess the relative quality of academic marketing journals. This study, as a replication and extension of Chen and Huang (2007), introduces the Author Affiliation Index (AAI) as an alternative approach to assessing marketing journal quality. The AAI is defined as the ratio of articles authored by faculties at the world\u27s top marketing programs divided by the total number of articles by all authors. We rank current marketing journals using the AAI approach, and provide a cross-validation of journal ratings established by previous researchers. We also study the authorship/coauthorship patterns across journals. Advantages of the AAI approach and its implications are discussed
