Big data integration shows Australian bush-fire frequency is increasing significantly

Increasing Australian bush-fire frequencies over the last decade has indicated a major climatic change in coming future. Understanding such climatic change for Australian bush-fire is limited and there is an urgent need of scientific research, which is capable enough to contribute to Australian society. Frequency of bush-fire carries information on spatial, temporal and climatic aspects of bush...

The Big Bush Machine by

In this paper we study an example-machine Bush(S, T ) where S and T are disjoint dense subsets of R. We find some topological properties that Bush(S, T ) always has, others that it never has, and still others that Bush(S, T ) might or might not have, depending upon the choice of the disjoint dense sets S and T . For example, we show that every Bush(S, T ) has a point-countable base, is heredita...

YarcData's uRiKA Shows Big Data Is More Than Hadoop and Data Warehouses

The hype about big data is mostly on Hadoop or data warehouses, but big data involves a much wider and varied set of needs, practices and technologies. We offer recommendations for IT organizations seeking a solution to "graph" problems, including use of the uRiKA graph appliance. Impacts ■ IT organizations faced with previously infeasible graph-style discovery problems may succeed using a focu...

Is suicidal behaviour increasing among Australian youth?

The rate of suicide of 15- to 19-year-old Australian boys appears to have doubled since 1965. Some of this rise might be due to a trend by coroners to reach a verdict of suicide more frequently than previously. One in seven deaths of teenage boys is now termed suicide. Hospital admissions of boys and girls in Western Australia for attempted suicide doubled in the past decade. These figures indi...
