In this paper we investigate machine learning techniques for discovering knowledge that can be used to monitor the operation of devices or systems. Specifically, we study methods for generating models that can detect anomalies in time series data. The normal operation of a device can usually be characterized in different temporal states. To identify these states, we introduce a clustering algor...

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the urgency to bridge digital divide, as those without reliable internet, adequate devices, and literacy skills were severely disadvantaged when most essential activities moved online. This study examines how affected women recently released from jail or prison, a group that was already at disadvantage in terms of access even before pandemic. Our interviews...

We report the synthesis of several unconventional 0-, 1- and 2-dimensional copper sulfide nanostrucutures by the chemical vapor deposition method. The key factor for morphology and structure control of a variety of copper sulfide products is the tuning of deposition and growth temperature to fit for the surface energy barriers and promote different growth directions. At a high growth temperatur...

We report the results of an investigation into the ability of transitional probability (word-to-word contingency statistics) to account for reading behaviour. Using a corpus of eye movements recorded during the reading of newspaper text, we demonstrate both the forward [P(n/n-1)] and backward [P(n/n+1)] transitional probability measures to be predictive of first fixation and gaze durations: the...

Transitional mucosa of the colon is the tissue immediately adjacent to a cancer, which has histochemical and ultrastructural features similar to those seen in neoplasia. Therefore, it has been hypothesized in the past that this tissue represents the premalignant antecedent to colonic adenocarcinoma. Other investigators have disputed this explanation because similar changes are found adjacent to...

Quantum phase transitional patterns in the whole parameter space of the consistent-Q Hamiltonian in the interacting boson model are studied based on an implemented Fortran code for the numerical computation of the matrix elements in the SU(3) Draayer–Akiyama basis. Results with respect to both ground and some excited states of the model Hamiltonian are discussed. Quantum phase transitional beha...

The purpose of this review was to organize a systematic reference to help orthodontists evaluate commonly used orthodontic nickel-titanium alloys. Part I of the article reviewed the data available in the literature regarding the temperature transitional ranges of the alloys. The thermomechanical behavior of these compounds is, in fact, strictly dependent upon the correlation between the tempera...

Brown, R., and Pickering, D. (1974). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 49, 883. Persistent transitional circulation. Six infants presented within 24 hours of birth with cyanosis. The clinical findings, combined with catheter studies in 4 cases, led to the conclusion that there was a persistent fetal direction of ductus arteriosus flow with pulmonary hypertension, i.e. a 'persistent transitional...
