Many researches have developed Web usage mining (WUM) algorithms utilizing Web log records in order to discover useful knowledge to be used in supporting business applications and decision making. The quality of WUM in knowledge discovery, however, depends on the algorithm as well as on the data. This research explores a new data source called intentional browsing data (IBD) for potentially imp...

The Bernoulli spatial scan statistic is used to detect localised clusters in binary labelled point data, such as that used in spatial or spatio-temporal case/control studies. We test the inferential capability of a recently developed beta-Bernoulli spatial scan statistic, which adds a beta prior to the original statistic. This pilot study, which includes two test scenarios with 6,000 data sets ...

Simulating spatial correlated binary data is very important on many cases, but it is not easily to accomplish, as there are restrictions on the parameters of Bernoulli variables. This paper develops a copulas method to generate spatial correlated binary data. The spatial binary data generated by this method has an inverse spatial pattern comparing with the latent Gaussian random field data, how...

Abstract Cone-beam computed tomography (CT) with circular scanning trajectory is known to suffer from so called cone-beam artifacts. Cone-beam artifacts are errors in the reconstructed volume due to incomplete radon data. These artifacts increase with increasing distance of the reconstructed plane from the midplane, i.e. the plane containing the X-ray source. Theoretically, the midplane represe...

The purpose of this study was to report the characteristics of an equivalent quality unflattened (eqUF) photon beam in clinical implementation and to provide a generalized method to describe unflattened (UF) photon beam profiles. An unflattened photon beam with a beam quality equivalent to the corresponding flat 6 MV photon beam (WF) was obtained by removing the flattening filter from a Siemens...

Using the RNA sequencing, transcriptomes of growth-inhibited rice seedlings induced by low-energy N+-beam implantation were analyzed. The results showed that rice genes related to binding, electron carrier activity, transcription factor, auxin signal transduction, photosynthesis, and oxidoreductase activity were involved in the response to ion-beam implantation. Moreover, low-energy N+-beam imp...

BEAM is a hardware accelerator that has been designed and built for real-time execution of the SPHINX speaker-independent, continuous speech recognition system and similar systems. SPHINX on BEAM is able to recognize sentences from a 1,000 word vocabulary and a perplexity 60 grammar in about 1.3 times real time. BEAM does not use any custom integrated circuit. This report describes the architec...
