Diversification benefits in financial conglomerates are typically derived without accounting for reduced shareholder value, even though a comprehensive analysis requires competitive conditions within the conglomerate, i.e., shareholders...

Present article is devoted to study of electrolytic zinc powders usage features in gold mining industry. Electrolytic characterized by dendritic shape and a high specific surface area. These provide number advantages for cementation from alkaline cyanide solutions. Dendritic form powder makes it possible reduce layer hydraulic resistance on filtering surface, which important when using technolo...

Similarities among subsequences are typically regarded as categorical features of sequential data. We introduce an algorithm for capturing the relationships among similar, contiguous subsequences. Two time series are considered to be similar during a time interval if every contiguous subsequence of a predefined length satisfies the given similarity criterion. Our algorithm identifies patterns b...
