Mining Sequential Patterns With Time Intervals by Fuzzy 1

Prearranged a sequence database and minimum sustain verge; the errand of sequential pattern mining is to determine the absolute combinations of sequential patterns in databases. Commencing the exposed sequential patterns, we can be acquainted with what items are recurrently bought in concert and in what sort they appear. Though, they cannot inform us the time gaps concerning consecutive items in patterns. Appropriately, Chen, Chiang and Ko have projected a generalization of sequential patterns, called time-interval sequential patterns, which discloses not only the order of items but also the time intervals between consecutive items (Chen et al. 2003). An instance of time-interval sequential pattern has a form like (X, t2, Y, t1, Z), significance that we buy X first, then after an interval of t2 we buy Y, and at last after an interval of t1 we buy Z, where t2 and t1 are prearranged time ranges. Even though this new category of pattern can improve the over disquiet, it reasons the pointed periphery problem. i.e, when a time interval is close to the margin of two prearranged time ranges, we more over disregard or exaggerate it. Consequently, this paper uses the concept of fuzzy sets to expand the original research so that fuzzy time-interval sequential patterns are exposed from databases. An efficient algorithm, the FTI-Apriori algorithm, is developed for mining fuzzy time-interval sequential patterns by modifying traditional Apriori algorithm. An experimental study is shown for the algorithm.
Serological and Parasitological Study of Bovine Trypanosomiasis in the Microregion of Uberaba , Minas Gerais State , Brazil

The microregion of Uberaba, in Minas Gerais state, Brazil, is an important center for breeding, genetic development, and cattle related business. Since 2011 outbreaks of bovine trypanosomiasis have been noticed in the region, leading to high mortality of bovines. Within this context, this study aimed to perform serological and parasitological screening of trypanosomiasis in the microregion of Uberaba. Blood and serum samples of 308 animals from the microregion of Uberaba were collected for serological and parasitological analysis. Data concerning the type of activity performed on each property and on the management of needles were also obtained in order to correlate with the presence of Trypanosoma vivax. The parasitological study was performed using Woo, Buffy Coat and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) techniques; 100% of the samples were negative for Woo e Buffy Co at techniques, and 1.94% positive for PCR technique. The serological study, performed by Indirect Immunofluorescence (IIF) Reaction, a prevalence of anti T. vivax antibodies was recorded in 17.2% of the samples. The highest prevalence was found in the city of Uberaba, with 24.4%, followed by Veríssimo, with 14.3%; the other cities had prevalence lower than 9%. The prevalence was higher in dairy farms (75%) and in farms where needles were not exchanged, especially after oxytocin application in cows previous to milking (80%). The prevalence of trypanosomiasis in Uberaba-MG is low, and prophylactic measures must be implemented in order to prevent the spread of the disease.
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS , SOCIAL SUPPORT , AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF HIV INFECTED WOMEN

The prevalence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected women in Indonesia is increasing dramatically. HIV is a potentially life-threatening condition and impact to the quality of life of patients, particularly women. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between demographic characteristics, social support and quality of life of HIV infected women. A descriptive cross sectional study was employed with 111 HIV infected women whose age were 18 to 45 years old from community HIV clinic Medan, Indonesia. Questionnaires composed of the demographic characteristics, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale, and World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic, Pearson correlation coefficient and Spearman correlation coefficient. Results found that 55 % HIV infected women had quality of life in a good level and better quality of life in physical domain (M=14.12, SD=2.40). However, the poorest quality of life in social relationship domain (M=11.50, SD=2.51). 59.5 % of participants perceived social support had a moderate level, they were perceived higher support from significant other (69.4%) than from family or friends. Social support was statistically positive relationship with quality of life (r = 0.46, p < . 01. Employment status was statistically negative relationship with quality of life. However, age, marital status, educational level, and family income were not significantly relationships with quality of life. In conclusions, social support and employment status could influence the quality of life of HIV infected women. Therefore, this study can be as a reference for nurses to provide the information and promote the social support to enhance the quality of life of HIV infected women. © 2014 Pak Publishing Group.

Effect of Concentrations and Irradiation on the Etching of Soda-Lime-Silica Glass

We present the results of experiments of etching on commercial soda-lime-silicate glasses (SLS) immersed in dilute hydrofluoric acid solutions. The effect of different parameters (such as concentration, immersion time, temperature and irradiation) on the etching of silica has been investigated and expressed by the loss in gm/cm 2 . It has been found that the dissolution of glass increases with increasing both immersion time and HF concentration. The results show that the sodium concentration increases in the leachant solution as the concentration of HF increases. UV-VIS measurements of the leachate show strong UV absorption which is attributed to the presence of silica released from the corroded glass. Morphological and chemical composition changes were followed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy dispersive x-ray (EDX). The results indicate the formation of crust layers. The ionization of the glass during the passage of gamma-rays results in substantial changes to the chemical reactivity of the glass surface.The results showed an increase in the quantity of corrosion which indicates that irradiation might enhance the corrosion reaction mechanism and consequently the surface corrosion products. FTIR spectroscopy was performed for physico-chemical characterizations. In addition to the silanol band at ~3720 cm -1 , IR features are attributed to free hydrogen-bonded and structurally bound molecular water and to silanol which is hydrogen-bonded to neighboring groups. The existence of these species and their behavior during etching are related to a specific mechanism for the reaction between silica glass and molecular water.
The Effect Mechanism of Population Urbanization and Carbon Emissions in China : Based on the Co-integration Test of STIRPAT model

Climate change and population urbanization have become dual challenges for human in the 21 century, especially for most of developing countries. As a result of urbanization and industrialization, carbon emissions per capita have been increased rapidly, which lead to obviously heat island effect and regional climate change. Based on the Kaya equation and STIRPAT model, this paper uses the co-integration test to examine the long-term impacts of population urbanization factors on carbon emissions in China. Results show that GDP per capita and carbon intensity, population size, urbanization level, and economic structure are important driving factors of carbon emissions from 1978 to 2008. Wherein, the most obviously influence factors are GDP per capita and carbon intensity, which changes each 1 percentage points, respectively, will drive carbon emissions with the same direction changing about 1.0181 and 1.0019 percentage points; followed by population size and urbanization level, which changes each 1 percentage points, respectively, will result in carbon emissions with same direction changing about 0.5285 and 0.3449 percentage points; industrial structure changing on carbon emissions effects are reversed in direction, i.e. the proportion of tertiary industry GDP, each increasing by 1 percentage points, will drive carbon emissions decreased by 0.0085 percentage points, although its value is smaller, but it is reflected in the process of industrialization and urbanization, the meaning of upgrading of the industrial structure to reduce carbon emissions is obviously.
Subcanopy gaps in temperate and tropical forests

We present a model of gaps in the vertical structure of forest vegetation. The traditional model of a forest gap assumes the existence of a 'hole' in the uppermost canopy layer, often extending down to near the ground. The present model extends the concept to gaps at any level, including those in lower layers below an intact canopy or subcanopy. It assumes that gaps at any level represent spaces with unused resources, especially favourable for plant growth and survival. Evidence from temperate and tropical forests indicates that gaps in the subcanopy and understorey layers below intact canopies are common, and that plants have higher growth rates in them than in non-gap sites. \Ve also extend this model to below-ground gaps in the root zone. Key \\lords: below-ground gap, canopy gap, forests, light, regime, soil resources, sub- canopy gap, understorey gap.

Developing a formative visual feedback report for data brokering

We present the development of a visualisation framework, used to provide formative feedback to clients who engage with data brokering companies. Data brokers receive, clean, store and re-sell data from many clients. However the usage of the data and the brokering process can be improved at source by enhancing the client’s data creation and management processes. We propose to achieve this through providing formative feedback, as a visualisation report, to the client. Working closely with a travel agent data broker, we present a three-part framework, where we (1) evaluate data creation and provision processes of the client, (2) develop metrics for quantitative analytics on the data, (3) aggregate the analytics in a visual report.
Logarithmic scaling in the longitudinal velocity variance explained by a spectral budget

u /u∗ 2 = B1 − A1 ln (z/δ) was reported across several high Reynolds number laboratory experiments as predicted from Townsend’s attached eddy hypothesis, whereu∗ is the friction velocity andz is the height normalized by the boundary layer thickness δ. A phenomenological explanation for the origin of this log-law in the intermediate region is provided here based on a solution to a spectral budget where the production and energy transfer terms are modeled. The solution to this spectral budget predicts A1 = (18/55)Co/κ 2/3 and B1 = (2.5)A1, where Co and κ are the Kolmogorov and von K´ arm´ an constants. These predictions hold when very large scale motions do not disturb the k −1 scaling existing across all wavenumbers 1/ δ< k < 1/z in the streamwise turbulent velocity spectrum Eu(k). Deviations from a k −1 scaling along with their effects on A1 and B1 are discussed using published data and field experiments. C 2013 AIP Publishing LLC . [ http://dx.doi. org/10.1063/1.4837876]
Verbal Representation of Chinese Symbols in the Trilogy “ The House of Earth ” by Pearl Buck

This article dwells upon cultural peculiarities of Chinese symbols and their functioning in the trilogy “The House of Earth” by Pearl Buck. An attempt has been made to consider the reasons for specific cultural load of symbols. Cultural symbols have been divided into three main types: sense-forming, pervasive and limited situational symbols. Verbal representation of Chinese symbols has revealed wide network of all their types, they convey the main idea of the trilogy and constitute the most essential element of the trilogy’s architectonics.
Empirical Formulation of Highway Traffic Flow Prediction Objective Function Based on Network Topology

Accurate Highway road predictions are necessary for timely decision making by the transport authorities. In this paper, we propose a traffic flow objective function for a highway road prediction model. The bi-directional flow function of individual roads is reported considering the net inflows and outflows by a topological breakdown of the highway network. Further, we optimise and compare the proposed objective function for constraints involved using stacked long short-term memory (LSTM) based recurrent neural network machine learning model considering different loss functions and training optimisation strategies. Finally, we report the best fitting machine learning model parameters for the proposed flow objective function for better prediction accuracy.
Optimal coordinated attitude control of multiple satellites in a formation.

The focus of the research on satellite formation flying has so far been on the coordinated satellite orbit control. A number of future satellite formations will however require the ability to achieve coordinated attitude control between multiple satellites. Such missions will mainly require two relative attitude control modes: attitude synchronization and target tracking. Examples of such satellite formations are those that emulate the functions of large space telescopes or space interferometers. In this paper, an optimal SDRE (state Dependent Riccati Equation) controller is proposed to coordinate the attitude synchronization ensuring that the relative orientations between the satellites are controlled whilst tracking a ground target.
Titre : Imagerie cérébrale et physiopathologie de la maladie d ’ Alzheimer Title : Cerebral imaging and physiopathology in Alzheimer ’ s disease Auteurs

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterised by macroscopic cerebral damages which can be studied in vivo with neuroimaging techniques, even at the earliest stages. Studies were conducted in patients with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) who best represent incipient AD. Right temporo-parietal hypometabolism, assessed by resting-state 18FDG-PET, distinguishes patients who further develop AD from those who remain stable. From the predementia stage of MCI, atrophy of the hippocampal region detected with structural MRI contrasts with functional alteration of the posterior cingulate gyrus measured with 18FDG-PET and SPECT. Results from resting-state fMRI confirm this pattern of functional abnormalities and highlight changes in the hippocampal region functional connectivity: decreased with the posterior cingulate region, and increased with some frontal areas. Altogether with a structural connectivity impairment highlighted by DTI, those results support the hypothesis of a dysconnexion between the hippocampal and the posterior cingulate regions. Finally, activation fMRI data support the hypothesis of a functional compensation involving not only the frontal cortex but also, at the pre-dementia stage, the hippocampal region. Thus, this synthesis focuses on the hypotheses of dysconnexion and functional compensation, suggested to explain the discrepancies between the structural and functional alteration patterns, as well as on relevant results from resting-state fMRI, DTI and activation fMRI studies. Furthermore, this synthesis emphasizes the relevance of neuroimaging for the early detection of AD.

Erasures vs. Errors in Local Decoding and Property Testing

We initiate the study of the role of erasures in local decoding and use our understanding to prove a separation between erasure-resilient and tolerant property testing. Local decoding in the presence of errors has been extensively studied, but has not been considered explicitly in the presence of erasures. Motivated by applications in property testing, we begin our investigation with local list decoding in the presence of erasures. We prove an analog of a famous result of Goldreich and Levin on local list decodability of the Hadamard code. Specifically, we show that the Hadamard code is locally list decodable in the presence of a constant fraction of erasures, arbitrary close to 1, with list sizes and query complexity better than in the Goldreich-Levin theorem. We use this result to exhibit a property which is testable with a number of queries independent of the length of the input in the presence of erasures, but requires a number of queries that depends on the input length, n, for tolerant testing. We further study approximate locally list decodable codes that work against erasures and use them to strengthen our separation by constructing a property which is testable with a constant number of queries in the presence of erasures, but requires nΩ(1) queries for tolerant testing. Next, we study the general relationship between local decoding in the presence of errors and in the presence of erasures. We observe that every locally (uniquely or list) decodable code that works in the presence of errors also works in the presence of twice as many erasures (with the same parameters up to constant factors). We show that there is also an implication in the other direction for locally decodable codes (with unique decoding): specifically, that the existence of a locally decodable code that works in the presence of erasures implies the existence of a locally decodable code that works in the presence of errors and has related parameters. However, it remains open whether there is an implication in the other direction for locally list decodable codes1. We relate this question to other open questions in local decoding. 2012 ACM Subject Classification Theory of computation → Streaming, sublinear and near linear time algorithms, Mathematics of computing → Coding theory
The relationship between sticky spots and radar reflectivity beneath an active West Antarctic ice stream

Abstract Isolated areas of high basal drag, or ‘sticky spots’, are important and poorly understood features in the force balance and dynamics of West Antarctic ice streams. Characterizing sticky spots formed by thin or drying subglacial till using ice-penetrating radar is theoretically possible, as high radar bed-returned power (BRP) is commonly related to an abundance of free water at the ice/bed interface, provided losses from englacial attenuation can be estimated. In this study we use airborne radar data collected over Evans Ice Stream to extract BRP profiles and test the sensitivity of BRP to the adopted englacial attenuation correction. We analyse 11 ~ 2 0 km profiles in four fast-flow areas where sticky spots have been inferred to exist on the basis of model and surface data inversions. In the majority of profiles we note that the increase in basal drag is accompanied by a decrease in BRP and suggest that this is evidence both for the presence of a sticky spot in those locations and that local variations in subglacial hydrology are responsible for their existence. A comparison is made between empirical and numerical modelling approaches for deriving englacial attenuation, and our findings generally support previous studies that advocate a modelling approach.
Title : Natural echolocation sequences evoke echo-delay selectivity in the auditory midbrain 1 of the FM bat , Eptesicus fuscus

Echolocating bats perform precise auditory temporal computations to estimate their distance 10 to objects. Here, we report that response selectivity of neurons in the inferior colliculus of an 11 FM bat to call-echo delay, or target range tuning, depends on the temporal patterning and 12 spectro-temporal features of sound elements in a natural echolocation sequence. We suggest 13 that echo responses to objects at different distances are gated by the bat’s active control over 14 the spectro-temporal patterning of its sonar emissions. 15
Higher-order quantum hydrodynamics for supersolids

Supersolids are theoretically predicted quantum states that break the continuous rotational and translational symmetries of liquids while preserving superfluid transport properties. Over the last decade, much progress has been made in understanding and characterizing supersolid phases through numerical simulations for specific interaction potentials. The formulation of an analytically tractable framework for generic interactions still poses theoretical challenges. By going beyond the usually considered quadratic truncations, we derive a systematic higher-order generalization of the Gross-Pitaevskii mean-field model in conceptual similarity with the Swift-Hohenberg theory of pattern formation. We demonstrate the tractability of this broadly applicable approach by determining the ground state phase diagram and the dispersion relations for the supersolid lattice vibrations in terms of the potential parameters. Our analytical predictions agree well with numerical results from direct hydrodynamic simulations and earlier quantum Monte-Carlo studies. The underlying framework is universal and can be extended to anisotropic pair potentials with complex Fourier-space structure.
Effect of interface alloying and band-alignment on the Auger recombination of heteronanocrystals

We report a numerical study of the effect of interface alloying and band alignment on the Auger recombination processes of core/shell nanocrystals. Smooth interfaces are found to suppress Auger recombination, the strength of the suppression being very sensitive to the core size. The use of type-II structures constitutes an additional source of suppression, especially when the shell confines electrons rather than holes. We show that “magic” sizes leading to negligible Auger recombination [Cragg and Efros, Nano Letters 10, 313 (2010)] should be easier to realize experimentally in nanocrystals with extended interface alloying and wide bandgap.
BC patients carrying the germline CHEK 2 1100 delC mutation mainly develop estrogen receptor ( ER )-positive

52 %). Also, PFS and OS after start of chemotherapy were comparable between both patient groups (hazard ratio 0.91; 95 % confidence interval 0.63–1.30 and 1.03; 95 % CI 0.71–1.49, respectively). Thirty-six CHEK2 and 32 non-CHEK2 patients received first-line endocrine therapy (mainly tamoxifen) for MBC. No significant differences were observed in objective response rate to, and PFS and OS after start of endocrine therapy. Conclusion No differential efficacy of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy given for MBC was observed in CHEK2 versus non-CHEK2 patients.
