Major severe weather events can cause a significant loss of life and property. We seek to revolutionize our understanding of and our ability to predict such events through the mining of severe weather data. Because weather is inherently a spatiotemporal phenomenon, mining such data requires a model capable of representing and reasoning about complex spatiotemporal dynamics, including temporally...

We propose a new multicast communication paradigm called “spatiotemporal multicast” for supporting applications which require spatiotemporal coordination in wireless sensor networks. In this paper we focus on a special class of spatiotemporal multicast called “mobicast” featuring a message delivery zone that moves at a constant velocity ~v. The key contributions of this work are: (1) the specif...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the recent findings in resting-state activity in major depressive disorder (MDD) and link them to psychopathological symptoms. RECENT FINDINGS MDD shows changes in resting state functional connectivity (rsFC) mainly within the default-mode network with a focus on especially the perigenual anterior cingulate cortex. rsFC in perigenual anterior cingulate cortex is ab...

With the rapid development of the Internet, XML (Extensible Markup Language) is increasingly gaining acceptance as a medium for integrating and exchanging data. Meanwhile, object-oriented database has a strong ability to store data, XML can benefit greatly and specifically from database support and object-oriented database management system. Consequently, it is significant to exchange data from...

Many complex and interesting spatiotemporal patterns have been observed in a wide range of scientific areas. In this paper, two kinds of spatiotemporal patterns including spot replication and Turing systems are investigated and new identification methods are proposed to obtain Coupled Map Lattice (CML) models for this class of systems. Initially, a new correlation analysis method is introduced ...

With the increasing applications based on location, researches on spatiotemporal data, especially queries of spatiotemporal data have attracted a lot of attention. XML, as a standard language of information exchanging over the Web, has the ability to query spatiotemporal data. In this paper, we propose an algorithm, TwigStackSP, for matching a spatiotemporal XML query twig pattern. We represent...

During emerging disease outbreaks, massive information are disseminated through social network. In China, Sina microblog system as the biggest social network provide a novel way to monitoring the development of emerging disease and public awareness. However, only a small percentage of microblogs could wide spread. Therefore, predict popularity of microblogs timely are meaningful for emergency m...

A GIS tool for plant spatial pattern analysis" (2011). Faculty Publications. Paper 373.

Multivoxel pattern analysis (MVPA) has gained enormous popularity in the neuroimaging community over the past few years. At the group level, most MVPA studies adopt an “information based” approach in which the sign of the effect of individual subjects is discarded and a non-directional summary statistic is carried over to the second level. This is in contrast to a directional “activation based”...

Several representations have been created to store topological information in normal spatial databases. However, not that much work has been done to store such relationships for spatiotemporal data. This paper extends the representation of moving objects from [7] so that it can also store and enforce some of the topological relationships between the objects. This is done in a fashion similar to...
