Hybrid Datamining Approaches to Predict Success of Bank Telemarketing

: Telemarketing is a kind of straightforward marketing in which salesman requests the consumer either face to face or telephone request and influence him to purchase the product. Telemarketing achieves most prevalence in the 20th century and still increasing it. Now, the phone has been broadly accepted. It is valued efficient and holds the consumers up to date. In the Banking area, marketing is the backbone to exchange its goods or service. Business promotion and marketing is frequently based on an exhaustive understanding of actual information about the market and the real client demands for the productive bank manner. We recommend a data mining (DM) method to foretell the achievement of telemarketing requests for contracting long-term bank deposits. A local Portuguese bank was labeled, with data gathered from 2011 to 2016, thus involving the effects of the current economic crisis. We examined a comprehensive set of 11 features associated with bank consumer, goods and social-economic characteristics. We also discuss four DM forms with the hybrid model: Naïve Bayes (NB), Decision Trees (DTs), Perceptron Neural Network (NN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The four types were tested and compared with proposed hybrid classification methods (Perceptron Neural Network + Decision Tree) on an evaluation set, and we are splitting data into training and testing sets using cross-validation method. The proposed hybrid classification technique presented the best results (Precision 99% and ROC = 97%)
non-degradable structure shows low therapeutic efficiency, because the excessively stabilized nanoparticles will prevent the drug release at aimed sites, accumulate in the cells or tissues causing a long-term toxicity. Therefore, SPIONs with biodegradable polymer coating with improved drug delivery 

106 www.ijntr. org Abstract— In this research, a functional cross-linked PEI assembled with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were prepared via a simple assembly process for delivery of doxorubicin (DOX). The functional cross-linked PEI was synthesized by Michael addition reaction, where N,N-Bis(acryloyl) cystamine served as cross-linker, PEI, and dopamine (DA) acted as comonomers. Here the cross-linked PEI is directly assembled to the surface of SPIONs by the ligand exchange reaction forming the SPIONs@PEI, and then the DOX was encapsulated into the nanoparticles forming the drug loaded biodegradable magnetic nanoparticles (SPIONs@PEI@DOX). The hydrophilic PEI moiety provides the nanoparticles colloidal stability and good-dispersity in aqueous solution. TEM images showed that the SPIONs and SPIONs@PEI were well dispersed with high stability in water after the ligand exchange process. All the results showed that the prepared biodegradable magnetic nanoparticle could serve as a promising vehicle for targeting anticancer drug delivery.
A survey on Oversampling Techniques for Imbalanced Learning

BSTRACT In machine learning and data mining data imbalance is a key source of performance degradation. Key reason behind this degradation is that all available algorithms assume a balanced class distribution for learning. In many real-world applications, the data available for learning are highly imbalanced. Imbalanced data means where one class severely out-represent another class. In these scenarios, the learning algorithms tend to bias toward the less important negative class or majority class with larger instances. Although, there is no single best technique to deal with imbalance problems, sampling techniques have been shown to be very successful in recent years. To address imbalanced learning issue oversampling of minority class is done. There are various Oversampling techniques which can be used to reestablish the class balance. Oversampling method is a data level method. The main advantage of data level methods is that they are self-sufficient. The methods at data level modify the distribution of the imbalanced datasets, and then these modified i.e. balanced datasets are provided to the algorithm to improve the Imbalanced learning.

107 International Education & Research Journal [IERJ] INTRODUCTION Retail market is growing in a high velocity environment all over the world. All types of promotional activities are currently used by retailers in order to be differentiated in the market. At the same time, competitiveness among retailers is booming. As a result of population and economic growth, retailers started to enlarge their marketing activities toward consumers. Peattie and Peattie (1994) stated that “Marketing activities usually specific to a time period, place or customer group, which encourage a direct response from consumers or marketing intermediaries, through the offer of additional benefits”. One or more of these activities is to use promotional tools and techniques (such as: sampling, discounts, sales, buy one get one free, coupons, rebates, point-of-purchase displays, contests, premium money back offers and loyalty programs) which directly influence individual to give quick decision and to finalize purchasing process. Since the competency between retailers is very high, the main two ideas behind these excessive promotions from marketers point of view that it has a direct influence on individual buying behavior by inducing competitive consumers towards their products and to retain their loyal customers. Therefore, the aim of this research is to study the impact and the relationship for the common promotional tools in the retail sector, namely: coupons, sample, price discount and buy one get one free, to examine their effect on consumers buying behavior which include brand switching and customer loyalty. In this study, researcher used theoretical information and data that collected from books and scientific published articles related to promotion tools and people buying behavior
The Impacts of Domain Knowledge and Personal Traits on Decoy Effects

The aim of this study is to investigate how consumers react to decoy effect. Decoy effect is a phenomenon that an option added increases the favorable perceptions of similar, but superior, items in the choice set, which indicates that the preference of people can be changed by adding a decoy option. We then want to realize the impact of those factors on decoy effects, and the intensity of effects. SCIREA Journal of Management http://www.scirea. org/journal/Mathematics
Antibody Responses Specific to Hepatitis B Virus Vaccine in Children Exposed InUtero to Antiretroviral Therapy

The use of antiretroviral (ARV) has been one of the most effective means of preventing vertical transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to exposed children born of HIV infected mothers. Nevertheless, responses to childhood vaccination against Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections remain suboptimal in HIV exposed uninfected children irrespective of maternal ARV prophylaxis. In a cross-sectional study we have assessed the impact of in-utero exposure to ARV on paediatric HBV vaccination. Anti-HBV surface antigen specific antibodies (anti-HBs abs) were measured in plasma specimens from 44 healthy children unexposed to both HIV and ARV (HU), 25 HIV-exposed uninfected children naïve to intrauterine exposure to ARV (HEU.AR - ), 29 ARV and HIV-exposed uninfected children during pregnancy (HEU.ARV +), 50 children vertically infected with HIV but naïve to intrauterine exposure to ARV (HEI.ARV - ) and 22 children vertically infected with HIV with in utero exposure to ARV (HEI.ARV +). The protective seroconversion rate after childhood HBV vaccination (anti-HBs ≥10 mUI/ml) among HEU.ARV + children (58%) was significantly lower relative to both HEU.ARVc - (100%, P=0.0010) and the healthy unexposed children (92 %, P=0.0069). Similarly, HEI.ARV + children also had significantly lower anti-HBs IgM antibody responses when compared to both HU (p=0.0003) and HEI.ARV - (0.0001) children respectively. Thus in-utero exposure to ARV probably contributes in reducing HBV vaccine antibody response rate in both HIV exposed uninfected and vertically infected children after childhood vaccination. Nevertheless, the overall impact of ARV was to improve anti-HBs IgG responses in HIV infected children suggesting a possible role in immune reconstitution leading to improved IgG antibody responses.
SECURE DATA TRANSMISSION THROUGH NODE-DISJOINT ON DEMAND MULTIPATH ROUTING IN MANETS

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are the wireless networks which can be deployed instantly without requiring any fixed wired infrastructure. MANETs are specifically very much useful in military, commercial and civilian applications. Since infrastructure less MANETs have dynamic topology and battery powered mobile nodes, it is a challenging task to provide secure data transmission between any pair of nodes in MANET. Multipath on Demand Routing is one possible solution to provide security in MANET. This paper proposes a new method (SDNMR) of providing secure communication by integrating trust based mechanism with multipath on demand routing approaches in MANETs. The simulation analysis of proposed method reveals the facts that the method provides significant security to the data compared to previous related work
The outcome of cyclic feed scarcity on growth and economic limit of commercial feed-based in-door grow-out of Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822)

Growth, feed utilization, and economic limit of commercial pelleted feed use were compared between daily-fed and feed deprived groups of Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) raised under low density culture. Groups of C. gariepinus were fed daily (Treatment 1) or on alternate days (Treatment 2) for 51⁄2 months, with 45% crude protein commercial pellets. Feeding was at a rate of 6% body weight per day which was considered satiation feeding. Cost and revenue were determined on the basis of feed cost and revenue from fish sales respectively. Treatment 1 yielded profits up to a mean weight of 64±8 g at feed conversion ratio 1.0±0.08 and 4.71% loss at mean weight of 105±10 g and feed conversion ratio (FCR) 2.1±0.7. Treatment 2 was profitable up to harvest mean weight of 264±10 g. Feed conversion ratio, mean weight, and total weight, were significantly higher in Treatment 1 (p<0.05). Cost-benefit ratio and percentage profit were significantly higher in Treatment 2 (p<0.0001). Thus the economic limits were 2 months at mean weight of 105±10 g; and 5 months at mean weight 264±10 g; in Treatments 1 and 2 respectively. The skip-a-day feeding strategy adopted in Treatment 2 was effective in extending the economic limit of conventional feeding using commercial pelleted feed in low density commercial catfish culture. The limits established in this study could serve as an advisory to farmers on the appropriate time to switch from the expensive commercial pelleted feeds usually fed at the early stage of grow-out to farm-made feeds.
FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF PRESS COATED TABLET OF ACELOFENAC SOLID DISPERSION PREPARED USING MICROWAVE INDUCED FUSION METHOD

The aim of present investigation was to develop press coated tablet of Aceclofenac solid dispersion (SD) for obtaining pulsatile drug release. The drug delivery system was designed to deliver the drug at such a time when it could be most needful to patient of rheumatoid arthritis. Solid Dispersion of Aceclofenac using PVP K-30 as a carrier was prepared by kneading method, solvent evaporation method and microwave fusion technique. Solid dispersions prepared using microwave fusion technique was further selected to prepare press coated tablets, containing Aceclofenac SD in the inner core and different amounts of HPMC K4M as the outer coating material. The release profile of press coated tablet exhibited a lag time depending upon the amount of HPMC K4M in compression coating, followed by burst release. Optimization was done using 3 2 factorial design considering two independent factors at three levels. Data was evaluated statistically by Stat Ease Design Expert 7.1. 4 software. The optimized batch F6 gave a lag time of 6 hr and drug release of 98.58% which consisted of 4% crosspovidone and 36% HPMC K4M. The Chronodelivery of Aceclofenac SD was achieved by formulating the tablet by compression coating technique.
Tax Planning and Firm Value: Empirical Evidence from Nigerian Consumer Goods Industrial Sector

Taxes on corporate profits are mandatory and usually constitute a large outflow for firms that, if not planned, lead to disproportionate and unwilling transfer of corporate resources to the government with its negative impact on the operating capacity and firm value. In the light of this, the study examined the effect of tax planning on firm value. Ex-post facto research design was adopted. The study covered 50 firm-year observations for the period, 2010-2014. Data were drawn from the published financial statements of the sampled companies and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics centred on specified panel regression model. The joint effect of the considered tax planning proxies on the firm value was significant (F-stat. =2.580; P-value = 0.032). While Effective tax rate (ETR), Dividend (DIV) and Firm age (FAG) are positively and significantly related to firm value, firm size, leverage and tangibility exert negative effect on firm value. The Adj. R 2 value of 20.6% was not sufficiently strong in explaining the variation in firm value. The study concluded that wholistic approach to tax planning and optimal mix of tax planning strategies are important determinants of their effect on firm value.

ECO-FRIENDLY CEMENT FROM CERAMIC WASTE GEOPOLYMARIZ ATION

In ceramic tile production, because of various reas ons, unsold fired products come out. These are wast e tiles and only a little part of them is reused. If these wast e tiles were used in geopolymer production, this po lluti n decreases. In this study, usage of waste tile as pozzolan was studied. The effect of sodium silicate solution wit h different molar ratio on the compressive strength of Egyptian ceramic was te -based geopolymers is investigated. Three differ ent alkaline solutions with different ratio (10-40%), with diffe rent soluble silica contents were used to activate ceramic waste. The primary reaction product was a sodium aluminosi licate gel, while different types of zeolites appea red as minority phases. The percentage and composition of these rea ction products were found to depend on both the sol uble silica content present in the activating solutions and curing time . In addition, the amount of gel was observed to ha ve a decisive effect on the mechanical strength developing in the material. X-ray diffract grams of geopolymers indicated the existence of the major amorphous phases of ceramic waste, as well as the formation of a new amorphous phase in the geop olymeric matrices. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectro scopy analysis revealed essential ceramic waste pha se tr nsformations within geopolymers that affected their mechanical s trength. The results of the current research indica te that a compressive strength is increased with the increase of alkali c ontent, as well as with the increase of sodium sili cate in the synthesis of geopolymers. These results enhanced usage of alkali ctivated ceramic tile waste as eco-friendly cemen t in adhesion and building materials without more emission of CO 2.
SOME RESULTS ABOUT ESSENTIAL GRAPHS

When working with directed acyclic graphs (by acronym, DAGs or GDAs), it often happens that the problem is not treatable, because temporary resources consumed, where it can get to solve it, would not be bearable. Therefore, it would be very convenient to approach after a previous classiﬁcation of DAGs, to reduce as much as possible the time of execution, work space for it in the equivalence class of DAGs. Or in the more general case on the space of equivalence classes of Chain Graphs. In such equivalence classes of DAGs are what are called in various ways, according to the authors, appearing as Essential Graphs, but also as complete patterns or completed patterns, CPDAGs (completed PDAGs), etc. By reducing the number of graphs to consider only one equivalence class, this will allow to improve the eﬃciency of our calculations, reducing computational complexity. We analyze here some very important current results of this new and useful mathematical tool.
The relation between driving cognitions and driving phobia: The moderating role of emotional regulation strategies

This study evaluated the relation between driving cognitions (i.e. panic, accidents, and social related cognitions) and driving phobia (driving fear and driving avoidance). We also investigated the moderating role of emotional regulation strategies (i.e. expressive suppression and cognitive reappraisal) in the relation between driving cognitions and driving phobia. A sample of 1401 drivers took part in this study (51.8 % men, Mage = 34.76, SD = 11.76). The participants completed scales measuring driving cognitions, emotional regulation strategies, and driving phobia, as well as demographic information. The results showed that driving cognitions are positively associated with driving fear and driving avoidance. Further, our results revealed positive relations between expressive suppression and driving fear, as well as between cognitive reappraisal and driving avoidance. Moreover, driving related cognitions interacted with emotional regulation strategies in predicting driving fear. The implications of these results for interventions and future research are discussed.
A theoretical poro-elasto-visco-plastic model for mechanical and chemo-mechanical deformation in sedimentary basins

Intergranular pressure-solution (IPS) represents a major mechanism of deformation in sedimentary basins during diagenesis. The aim of the present contribution is to provide a comprenhensive 3D framework for modeling both mechanical and chemo-mechanica compaction is sedimentary basins. Extending concepts, previously proposed for the modeling of purely mechanical compaction in finite poroplasticity, deformation by IPS is addressed by means of additional vicoplastic terms in the state equations of the porous material. Resorting to both micromechanical reasonings and phenomenological arguments, the primary focus is on the analysis of the effects of large irreversible porosity changes on the poromechanical properties of the sediment material. The last part of the paper is intended to illustrate, through the analysis of a simplified compaction model, the main features of the proposed theoretical constitutive model.

These included Conflict of culture and treatment process, Patient/Physiotherapy practitioner relationships, Informed Consent and dilemmas encountered in management of LBP. Ethical issues were raised concerning cultural competences and recognising professional boundaries in clinical practice. Conclusion: Physiotherapy practitioners encountered cultural and professional boundary ethical challenges in the management of patients with LBP. These may affect in the effectiveness of healthcare delivery. Physiotherapy practitioners would benefit from further training on ethics in clinical practice.
Gaining Insight into Enterprise 2.0 by Comparing with Web 2.0: Matrix analysis and instrument development

Emerging Web 2.0 provides an insight into its application to enterprise 2.0 that is currently in an immature state. The effort to apply the successful Web 2.0 to Enterprise 2.0 requires careful analysis of similarity and dissimilarity of “state of the art” social systems such as Web 2.0 and proposed Enterprise 2.0. For this analysis, a knowledge-seeker/sharer paradigm is proposed from the assumption that these two parties may have different perceptions towards the social systems. The paradigm consistently works as a baseline that comparison and contrast of Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 are performed based on. This answer is organized as follows. First, two social systems are compared from knowledge-seekers‟ perspective, knowledge-sharers‟ perspective, and both parties‟ perspective by supporting with relevant literature. Second, two social systems are contrasted from knowledge seekers‟ perspective, knowledge sharers‟ perspective, and both parties‟ perspective by supporting with relevant literature. Third, meaningful implications are suggested from the analyses.
Do visual cues to interrogativity vary between language modalities? Evidence from spoken Portuguese and Portuguese Sign Language

In spoken European Portuguese (EP), eyebrow raising has been considered to be a question marker, as it is the dominant visual cue for questions across regional variants. In Portuguese Sign Language (LGP), it is known that questions are conveyed by a specific facial (and bodily) expression, and that non-verbal correlates for intonation are conveyed by the face, head and upper body, but no detailed information on the prosodic role of non-manuals is available. The present study explores the role of non-manuals in conveying interrogativity in LGP, focusing on eyebrow and head movements, time-aligned with manuals. Native signers were videotaped while performing an adapted version of the Discourse Completion Task for LGP. Results show that eyebrow lowering is the dominant nonmanual conveying interrogativity, but head can also play this role together with eyebrows. Besides the interrogative wh-word manually articulated, wh-questions differ from yes-no questions in the head movement type: up in the former and down in the latter. In contrast with other signed languages, eyebrow movement does not vary across question types in LGP. Finally, interrogativity in LGP is conveyed by the same facial element (eyebrow) as in spoken EP, the opposite eyebrow movement used suggests its grammaticalization in each language modality.
