Knowledge discovery and data mining generally discovers implicit, previously unknown, and useful knowledge from data. As one of the popular knowledge discovery and data mining tasks, frequent itemset mining, in particular, ...

In the current era of Big data, high volumes of valuable data can be generated at a high velocity from high-varieties of data sources in various real-life applications ranging from sensor networks to social networks, from ...

Social network sites such as Twitter and Facebook are used for sharing knowledge and information among users. As social networks grow larger, it becomes difficult for a user to find frequently followed group of social ...

Nowadays, high volumes of high-value data (e.g., semantic web data) can be generated and published at a high velocity. A collection of these data can be viewed as a big, interlinked, dynamic graph structure of linked ...

Big data are everywhere as high volumes of varieties of valuable precise and uncertain data can be easily collected or generated at high velocity in various real-life applications. Embedded in these big data are rich sets ...

A graph is said to exhibit perfect state transfer (PST) if one of its corresponding Hamiltonian matrices, which are based on the vertex-edge structure of the graph, gives rise to PST in a quantum information-theoretic ...

Abstract Background Joint replacement, an increasingly common procedure amongst older adults, can substantially improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, ...

The detailed design equations and antenna parameters for a directional antenna for breast imaging are presented in this paper. The antenna was designed so that it could be immersed in canola oil to achieve efficient coupling ...

BACKGROUND: The use of neuraminidase inhibitors (oseltamivir and zanamivir) for the treatment of ill individuals has been an important intervention during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. However, the emergence and spread of drug ...

Given an irreducible stochastic matrix T, Kemeny's constant k(T) measures the expected number of steps from any initial state to a randomly chosen final state, and is thus regarded as an indicator of the overall transit ...
