A Fuzzy Approach to Weighted Temporal Mining Using Automatic Weight Assignment with Reduced Complexities
Authors: Balasubramanian C. , Duraiswamy K. , Palanisamy V.
Published: September 2010

Databases and data warehouses have become a vital part of many organizations. So useful information and helpful knowledge have to be mined from transactions. In real life, media information has time attributes either implicitly or explicitly called as temporal data. The temporal database consists of items which are prioritized by assigning weights. These weights are assigned automatically using the scheduling concept aging algorithm in such a way that starvation is avoided. This paper focuses on an encoding method for the temporal database that reduces the memory utilization during processing. The fuzzy approach is applied by assigning the triangular membership functions to the weighted items which gives better results than quantitative values. Weighted association rule mining is performed using the weighted support and confidence measures which are applied to the AprioriTid algorithm as a new approach to the already existing algorithm. This makes the modified algorithm compatible to mine weighted association rules. This approach gives better results than that which treats items uniformly, leading to weighted association rule mining on an encoded temporal database with reduced time and computational complexity. The experimental results are drawn from the complaints database of the telecommunication system. This database technology can be used to enhance the complaint addressing system through the web which is an upgraded technique for the semantic web.
Efficient Querying of Web Services Using Ontologies
Authors: Saravanan K. , Kripeshwari S. , Thangavelu Arunkumar
Published: September 2010

The Semantic Web [1] is well recognized as an effective infrastructure to improve visibility of knowledge on the web. Ontology [9] forms the backbone of the semantic web, which is used to explicitly represent conceptualizations. Ontology engineering in the Semantic Web is primarily supported by languages such as RDF, RDFS and OWL. Most web service search, retrieve the information based on the keyword match without lookup into their relevance. This research work focuses on making the web service search simple for users who need to retrieve the services from the UDDI server. The System is implemented using Protégé 2000 for building ontologies and a Java API for retrieving meaningful results by parsing ontologies. The WorldNet dictionary is used to semantically enhance the meaning of the query by helping the user, identify his exact interest of search and also to generate and save an OWL file. This file can be used for parsing when a similar query is given to be searched and also given to UDDI server to invoke the web service and retrieve the results.
OLearner – An Ontology Based Learning Content Management System to Support Semantic Search and Contribution of Learning Objects
Authors: Thakar Urjita , Meena Anupama , Meena Amit
Published: September 2010

E-Learning is a fast, just-in-time, learning process, which is becoming popular in distributed and dynamic environments such as the World Wide Web. The core of E-Learning is Learning Content Management System (LCMS). Traditional LCMS supports search of learning objects based on keywords. The conventional approach provides relevant as well as non-relevant results as they do not consider user's context. Also, precise search of non-textual resources such as audio-visual or multimedia based resources is not possible as these are not simple document files where keywords could be searched. The learner has to spend large amount of time in screening the learning resource to determine the best suiting his/her current learning requirements. In this paper an ontology based LCMS has been discussed. Ontology is a formal description of concepts in a real-world domain and helps to store the semantic information of that domain. It is more expressive than any other standard database model and facilitates knowledge sharing and reuse, i.e. a common understanding of various contents that reaches across people and applications. Developed LCMS incorporates semantic capabilities with the help of ontologies to enable semantic based contribution and retrieval of learning objects. Two very useful ontologies are created to describe the learner profile and the learning content. These ontologies have been used to classify the learning material, organize topics of a course and store the information pertaining to learner's profile. The proposed OLearner LCMS facilitates a resource contributor to contribute the resource to the OLearner portal with the metadata corresponding to the learning content and learner profile ontologies. These ontologies are further useful for a learner in searching a more precise and appropriate learning object.
Flight Dynamics of a Morphing Aircraft Utilizing Independent Multiple-Joint Wing Sweep
Authors: Grant Daniel T. , Abdulrahim Mujahid , Lind Rick
Published: September 2010

Morphing, which changes the shape and configuration of an aircraft, is being adopted to expand mission capabilities of aircraft. The introduction of biologically-inspired morphing is particularly attractive in that highly-agile birds present examples of aerodynamically-effective shapes. This paper introduces an aircraft with a multiple-joint design that allows variations in sweep to mimic some shapes observed in birds. These variations are independent on the left and right wings along with on the inboard and outboard sections. The aircraft is designed and analyzed to demonstrate the range of flight dynamics which result from the morphing. In particular, the vehicle is shown to have enhanced turning capabilities and crosswind rejection which are certainly critical metrics for the urban environments in which these aircraft are anticipated to operate.
On the Numerical Study of Bubbly Wakes Generated by Ventilated Cavity Using Population Balance Approach
Authors: Xiang M. , Cheung S. C. P. , Tu J. Y. , Zhang W.H.
Published: September 2010

In this study, an Eulerian–Eulerian two-fluid model integrated with the population balance approach based on Multiple-Size-Group (MUSIG) model was proposed to simulate on the gas leakage bubbly wake of a ventilated cavitation problem. Three selected flow conditions with Froude number ranging from 20 to 29 have been selected for investigation. Predicted void fraction and bubble velocity profiles were validated against the experimental measurements in the high-speed water tunnel of Schauer (2003) and Wosnik (2005). Sensitivity studies on the mesh resolution and three different turbulence closures were first carried out. In comparison with experimental data, the shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model was found to be the best candidate in modelling the re-circulation motions within the cavity wake region. To consider the neighbouring effect of closely packed bubbles, an empirical equation was proposed to correlate the turbulent dispersion coefficient to the local gas void fraction. Based on the proposed empirical equation, the turbulent dispersion coefficient reduces to 0.1 when local gas void fraction is higher than 60%. In general, numerical predictions were in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data. Some discrepancies have nonetheless been found between the numerical and experimental results. The lack of exact gas leakage mechanism remains an outstanding challenge in determining the actual gas leakage rate and initial bubble size from the continuous cavity. Further effort should be also focused on combing free-surface tracking model with the present population balance approach to investigate the complex vortex structure and interaction between ventilated cavity and discrete leakage bubbles.
A Holistic Approach with Special Reference to Heat Transfer in Multi-Component Porous Media Systems
Authors: Borah A. K.
Published: September 2010

Problems involving multiphase flow, heat transfer and multi-component mass transport in porous media arise in a number of scientific engineering disciplines. Important technological applications include thermally enhanced oil recovery, subsurface contamination and remediation, capillary assisted thermal technologies, drying process, thermal insulation materials, multiphase trickle bed reactors, nuclear reactor safety analysis, high level radioactive waste repositories and geothermal energy exploitation. In this paper we demonstrate multiphase flows in porous media are driven by gravitational, capillary and viscous forces. But gravity causes phase migration in the direction of the gravitational field. Microscopic modelling efforts were made to accurately incorporate microscopic interfacial phenomena. Multi-scale modelling approaches were attempted in order to transmit information over various lengths scales, ranging from micro-scale, meso-scale, macro-scale and finally to the field scale.
Modeling Issues in CFD Simulation of Brown Coal Combustion in a Utility Furnace
Authors: Tian Z. F. , Witt P. J. , Schwarz M. P. , Yang W.
Published: September 2010

This paper describes the mathematical formulation and modelling issues of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of a 375 MW utility furnace. This tangentially-fired furnace is fuelled by high moisture content brown coal from coal mines at Latrobe Valley in Victoria, Australia. The influences of different turbulence models, particle dispersion, and radiation models on the CFD prediction are investigated. Two turbulence models, standard k-e model and Shear-Stress Transport (SST) model, provide similar predictions that are in good agreement with the plant data. The effect of particle dispersion on the prediction is found to be insignificant for this high-volatile brown coal. The predicted wall incident radiation flux based on two radiation models, namely, discrete transfer (DT) model and P-1 model are compared against power plant measurements. The comparison reveals that the DT model provides good prediction of the radiation profiles, while the P-1 model considerably under-predicts the wall incident radiation flux.
Effects of Large and Spread Explosives Loads
Authors: Luccioni Bibiana , Ambrosini Daniel , Yuen Steeve Chung Kim , Nurick Gerald
Published: September 2010

This paper presents experimental data and numerical analysis of the effects of detonating explosive charges ranging from 1000 to 26288 kg laid out on the ground. The charges consist of different ordnances widespread in a carpet-like form. Numerical analysis using ANSYS/Autodyn are carried out with a view to gain a better understanding of the blast loading resulting from the detonation of large masses of ordnance. Good correlation between the numerical results and experiments in terms of crater dimensions and blast wave parameters is obtained. The influence of the charge configurations on the blast wave parameters and crater shape are also investigated. While the cube root scaled distance works well for the evaluation of pressure and impulse values produced by a relatively compact charge layout, the scaled distance parameter has to be modified for cases where charges are spread in a carpet-like fashion.
Appraisal of Pulse-Shaping Technique in Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar Tests for Brittle Materials
Authors: Lu Y.B. , Li Q.M.
Published: September 2010

Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique has been frequently used to measure the uniaxial compressive stress–strain relation of brittle materials at intermediate strain-rates where pulse-shaping technique is employed to improve the stress uniformity and maintain a nearly constant strain-rate in the specimen during the effective loading period. This paper appraises the functions of the pulse-shaping technique in SHPB tests of brittle samples based on numerical simulations of SHPB tests. It is shown that a proper pulse-shaper can attenuate high frequency oscillations of the incident pulse and increase the rise-time of the pulse, resulting in the improvement of stress equilibrium and uniformity along the axial direction of an SHPB specimen. However, it is found that the inertia-induced confinement in the radial direction of a brittle specimen is still significant even though the shaped incident stress pulse can generate a nearly flat plateau in the reflected pulse in the SHPB test. It implies that the achievement of a nearly constant strain-rate represented by a nearly flat plateau in the reflected pulse in an SHPB test may not give a true nearly constant strain-rate in the SHPB specimen. It is concluded that the application of the pulse-shaping technique in SHPB tests on brittle materials may not change the nature of the observed transition strain-rate, which represents the transition of the stress state from a uniaxial-compressive-stress-dominated state to a confined compressive stress state, rather than the start of significant strain-rate effect. Therefore, inertia-induced radial confinement effect needs to be considered in the interpretation of any SHPB results for brittle materials even though a pulse-shaper is used.
A Cluster-Based Context-Tree Model for Multivariate Data Streams with Applications to Anomaly Detection
Authors: Brice Pierre , Jiang Wei , Wan Guohua
Published: September 2010

Many applications, such as telecommunication and commercial video broadcasting systems, computer and networks, and Web mining, require modeling data streams that exhibit context dependency. Context dependency refers to the fact that the statistical distribution of a new sample is heavily conditioned by a set of the most recent samples that precedes it. However, statistical models such as context trees (CTs) that capture context dependency tend to be poorly scalable. This paper proposes a solution to the scalability problem of these models by transforming a data stream into high-level aggregates of clusters instead of modeling the original data stream. Using an information-theoretical approach, we leverage existing clustering techniques for static categorical data sets to capture dynamic data streams based on the CT models. Because the proposed approach can be applied repeatedly on different levels of a clustering hierarchy, it is suitable for predicting trends and detecting anomalies at any aggregate (or detail) level required. Experimental results, including video stream modeling, network intrusion detection, and Monte Carlo simulations, show that the proposed method is efficient in capturing high-level aggregates of large-scale dynamic systems and very effective for trend prediction and anomaly detection.
Minimal Equivalent Binary Knapsack Inequalities
Authors: Koehler Gary J.
Published: September 2010

It is known that a knapsack inequality can be reduced to one having the same solutions but with “minimal” integer coefficients. Although this procedure is not practical because an exponential amount of work may be required to find such minimal equivalent knapsacks, knowledge of minimal equivalent knapsacks can reduce hard knapsacks to trivial ones, as we show for both Todd and Avis knapsacks. In this paper, we show that even with an oracle able to supply minimal equivalent knapsacks at no computational cost, their practical value may not materialize because there are minimal knapsack inequalities with exponential values.
A Linearly Convergent Linear-Time First-Order Algorithm for Support Vector Classification with a Core Set Result
Authors: Kumar Piyush , Yıldırım E. Alper
Published: September 2010

We present a simple first-order approximation algorithm for the support vector classification problem. Given a pair of linearly separable data sets and ϵ ∈ (0,1), the proposed algorithm computes a separating hyperplane whose margin is within a factor of (1−ϵ) of that of the maximum-margin separating hyperplane. We discuss how our algorithm can be extended to nonlinearly separable and inseparable data sets. The running time of our algorithm is linear in the number of data points and in 1/ϵ. In particular, the number of support vectors computed by the algorithm is bounded above by O(ζ/ϵ) for all sufficiently small ϵ > 0, where ζ is the square of the ratio of the distances between the farthest and closest pairs of points in the two data sets. Furthermore, we establish that our algorithm exhibits linear convergence. Our computational experiments, presented in the online supplement, reveal that the proposed algorithm performs quite well on standard data sets in comparison with other first-order algorithms. We adopt the real number model of computation in our analysis.
The Effect of Media Advertising on Brand Consideration and Choice
Authors: Terui Nobuhiko , Ban Masataka , Allenby Greg M.
Published: September 2010

The nature of the effect of media advertising on brand choice is investigated in two product categories in analyses that combine household scanner panel data with media exposure information. Alternative model specifications are tested in which advertising is assumed to directly affect brand utility, model error variance, and brand consideration. We find strong support for advertising effects on choice through an indirect route of consideration set formation that does not directly affect brand utility. Implications for media buying and advertising effects are explored.
Brands: The Opiate of the Nonreligious Masses?
Authors: Shachar Ron , Erdem Tülin , Cutright Keisha M. , Fitzsimons Gavan J.
Published: September 2010

Are brands the “new religion”? Practitioners and scholars have been intrigued by the possibility, but strong theory and empirical evidence supporting the existence of a relationship between brands and religion is scarce. In what follows, we argue and demonstrate that religiosity is indeed related to “brand reliance,” i.e., the degree to which consumers prefer branded goods over unbranded goods or goods without a well-known national brand.

We theorize that brands and religiosity may serve as substitutes for one another because both allow individuals to express their feelings of self-worth. We provide support for this substitution hypothesis with U.S. state-level data (field study) as well as individual-level data where religiosity is experimentally primed (study 1) or measured as a chronic individual difference (study 2). Importantly, studies 1 and 2 demonstrate that the relationship between religiosity and brand reliance only exists in product categories in which brands enable consumers to express themselves (e.g., clothes). Moreover, studies 3 and 4 demonstrate that the expression of self-worth is an important factor underlying the negative relationship.
The Design of Durable Goods
Authors: Koenigsberg Oded , Kohli Rajeev , Montoya Ricardo
Published: September 2010

The use of a durable good is limited by both its physical life and usable life. For example, an electric-car battery can last for five years (physical life) or 100,000 miles (usable life), whichever comes first. We propose a framework for examining how a profit-maximizing firm might choose the usable life, physical life, and selling price of a durable good. The proposed framework considers differences in usage rates and product valuations by consumers and allows for the effects of technological constraints and product obsolescence on a product's usable and physical lives. Our main result characterizes a relationship between optimal price, cost elasticities, and opportunity costs associated with relaxing upper bounds on usable and physical lives. We describe conditions under which either usable life or physical life, or both, obtains its maximum possible values; examine why a firm might devote effort to relaxing nonbinding constraints on usable life or physical life; consider when price cuts might be accompanied with product improvements; and examine how a firm might be able to cross-subsidize product improvements.
Search and Choice in Online Consumer Auctions
Authors: Haruvy Ernan , Popkowski Leszczyc Peter T. L.
Published: September 2010

Price dispersion in simultaneous online auctions is a puzzle in light of the relatively low search costs required to find the lower price. Much of this price dispersion appears to be due to a lack of switching by bidders between auctions, which in turn could be due to inertia related to search costs. We identify some of the influencing factors through a controlled field experiment involving pairs of simultaneous auctions. Keeping the sellers and the goods sold identical between two auctions, we vary auction design features between and within pairs including shipping cost, open reserve, secret reserve price, and duration, and we provide bidders with incentives to search. We use a choice model that examines individual choice between pairs of simultaneous auctions. We find that within-pair price dispersion is substantial and that prices and auction choice by bidders are indeed related to search costs. We find strong inertia in auction choice and find that this effect significantly interacts with time left in the auction. Although individuals do not always choose a lower-priced auction, they are more likely to do so when search costs are low or search incentives are high.
Equilibrium Results for Dynamic Congestion Games
Authors: Meunier Frédéric , Wagner Nicolas
Published: September 2010

Consider the following game. Given a network with a continuum of users at some origins, suppose users wish to reach specific destinations but they are not indifferent to the cost to reach them. They may have multiple possible routes but their choices modify the travel costs on the network. Hence, each user faces the following problem: Given a pattern of travel costs for the different possible routes that reach the destination, find a path of minimal cost. This kind of game belongs to the class of congestion games. In the traditional static approach, travel times are assumed constant during the period of the game.

In this paper, we consider the so-called dynamic case where the time-varying nature of traffic conditions is explicitly taken into account. In transportation science, the question of whether there is an equilibrium and how to compute it for such a model is referred to as the dynamic user equilibrium problem.

Until now, there was no general model for this problem. Our paper attempts to resolve this issue. We define a new class of games, dynamic congestion games, which capture this time-dependency aspect. Moreover, we prove that under some natural assumptions there is a Nash equilibrium. When we apply this result to the dynamic user equilibrium problem, we get most of the previous known results.
Scheduling Trains with Priorities: A No-Wait Blocking Parallel-Machine Job-Shop Scheduling Model
Authors: Liu Shi Qiang , Kozan Erhan
Published: September 2010

The paper investigates train scheduling problems when prioritised trains and nonprioritised trains are simultaneously traversed in a single-line rail network. In this case, no-wait conditions arise because the prioritised trains such as express passenger trains should traverse continuously without any interruption. In comparison, nonprioritised trains such as freight trains are allowed to enter the next section immediately if possible or to remain in a section until the next section on the routing becomes available, which is thought of as a relaxation of no-wait conditions. With thorough analysis of the structural properties of the No-Wait Blocking Parallel-Machine Job-Shop Scheduling (NWBPMJSS) problem that is originated in this research, an innovative generic constructive algorithm (called NWBPMJSS_Liu-Kozan) is proposed to construct the feasible train timetable in terms of a given order of trains. In particular, the proposed NWBPMJSS_Liu-Kozan constructive algorithm comprises several recursively used subalgorithms (i.e., Best-Starting-Time-Determination Procedure, Blocking-Time-Determination Procedure, Conflict-Checking Procedure, Conflict-Eliminating Procedure, Tune-Up Procedure, and Fine-Tune Procedure) to guarantee feasibility by satisfying the blocking, no-wait, deadlock-free, and conflict-free constraints. A two-stage hybrid heuristic algorithm (NWBPMJSS_Liu-Kozan-BIH) is developed by combining the NWBPMJSS_Liu-Kozan constructive algorithm and the Best-Insertion-Heuristic (BIH) algorithm to find the preferable train schedule in an efficient and economical way. Extensive computational experiments show that the proposed methodology is promising because it can be applied as a standard and fundamental toolbox for identifying, analysing, modelling, and solving real-world scheduling problems.
Abrechnung von Laborleistungen – Anforderungen an Laborinformationssysteme / Accounting for laboratory measurements – laboratory information system requirements
Authors: Wolters Bernd , Zander Guido , Blasius Peter
Published: September 2010

Die Abrechnung von Laborleistungen ist für das wirtschaftliche Überleben der Labore ganz wesentlich. Zunehmend komplexe organisatorische Strukturen müssen auch in der Abrechnung berücksichtigt werden. Laborinformationssysteme (LIS) sind in allen medizinischen Laboren vorhanden und müssen auch die Aufgaben der Abrechnung unterstützen. In dem vorliegenden Artikel beschreiben wir den aktuellen Stand der Abrechnung von Laborleistungen, Besonderheiten der Labormedizin und relevante Unterschiede zwischen der Abrechnung im Laborsystem selbst bzw. der Abrechnung in einem Drittsystem. Zwar scheint die Abrechnung im Patientenverwaltungssystem meist erst der einfachere Weg, so ist es aber doch so, dass auch hier viele Punkte zu beachten sind. Insbesondere die Laboreinrichtungen, die keine externen Einsendungen bekommen, können hier besonders leicht zum Ziel kommen. Je vielfältiger aber die Einsenderstruktur eines Laboratoriums ist, desto eher ist die Durchführung der Abrechnung im Laborsystem selbst zu empfehlen. Anhand einer Checkliste kann bei der Auswahl eines Systems geprüft werden, ob es den jeweiligen Anforderungen entspricht. Die Abrechnung von Laborleistungen mit den Kassenärztlichen Vereinigungen ist momentan besonders von Veränderungen betroffen. Es bleibt abzuwarten, welche Änderungen die Neugestaltung der Gebührenordnung für Ärzte bringen wird.

Authors: Halecky Alan , Lindner Gregory J.
Published: September 2010

An oil dispersion (OD) or oil flowable is a suspension of a solid active ingredient in an oil medium. ODs may be used to deliver water sensitive actives and are an efficient means of delivering oil adjuvancy. The use of self-activating organically modified clays overcomes stability problems that OD formulators encountered using conventional organically modified clays. The impact of surfactants and processing parameters on OD performance is described.
A Pilot Study on Thermal and Moisture Mapping of the Head-Helmet System Using Micro-Sensor Technology
Authors: Dullah A. R. , Guan Z. W. , Crompton R. H.
Published: September 2010

To study the thermal comfort of any helmet, it is important to measure micro-climate parameters quantitatively within the helmet and link them to human perception. The micro-climate in helmet is usually assessed in terms of temperature and relative humidity (RH). Historically, due to limitations of test equipment, measurements have mainly addressed the temperature in a few locations and temperature/RH within thermal manikins. In this study, a new test rig was developed to measure multi-point temperature and RH inside a helmet while a human subject wearing it using micro-sensors. Altogether, 13 micro-sensors were embedded in a cricket helmet with the sensor facing towards the head. Two sensors were used to record ambient conditions. Real time display on a laptop was set to monitor the recording process. Using the rig developed, two types of cricket helmets were tested, each with three subjects for this study. Both thermal and moisture mapping were obtained, which may be the first time temperature and RH distributions within the air pocket between the helmet and the human subject have been reported. There are interesting relationships that existed between the temperature and RH distributions and the subjective perception. The test rig also has promise for thermal comfort studies of other products.
