To which extent can graph pattern mining enrich business intelligence? This question was the seed whose sprout became my PhD research. To find an answer, I investigated graph-based data integration, the calculation of business measures from graphs and suitable data mining techniques based thereon. The latter should identify correlations between occurrences of specific graph patterns and values ...

The pathogenesis of flushing attacks in patients with malignant carcinoid tumors is attributed to the direct pharmacologic effect of excessive amounts of circulating serotonin. It was hoped that potent serotonin antagonists might relieve symptoms of the carcinoid syndrome in the inoperable patient. The nature of flushing attacks was studied in carcinoid patients and the influence thereon of 3 s...

Electronic structure codes usually allow to calculate the work function as a part of the theoretical description of surfaces and processes such as adsorption thereon. This requires a proper calculation of the electrostatic potential in all regions of space, which is apparently straightforward to achieve with plane wave basis sets, but more difficult with local basis sets. To overcome this, a re...

a risk assessment study was conducted to predict the expected hazardous influence on the ecosystem resulted from urbanization and industrialization activities at helwan area, egypt. to achieve these goals, soils, plants and water samples were collected from helwan area, and their total concentrations of inorganic contaminants (cd, cr, co, cu, fe, mn, ni, pb, and zn) and organic pollutants; such...
