In this paper, we present a knowledge discovery process applied to hydrological data. To achieve this objective, we combine successive methods to extract knowledge on data collected at stations located along several rivers. Firstly, data is pre processed in order to obtain different spatial proximities. Later, we apply two algorithms to extract spatiotemporal patterns and compare them. Such ele...

Process Improvement has been used for decades as a means to become better and more efficient. Whilst many organizations have used considerable resources for process improvement, investments in process improvement have not always led to changes and improvements expected. One most important aspects of management is to motivate the work force. However, management often fails to deliver. In fact, b...

Carbon neutrality, or “net zero”, has become the impact assessment project of human on Earth, increasingly structured to examine implications, for environment and people, proposed actions consequences inaction. International local collaboration efforts have been made with aim achieving carbon neutrality “net-zero” emissions; thus, policies technological innovations developed. Such impact-orient...

Detecting intracellular calcium signaling with fluorescent calcium indicator dyes is often coupled with microscopy techniques to follow the activation state of non-excitable cells, including lymphocytes. However, the analysis of global intracellular calcium responses both at the single-cell level and in large ensembles simultaneously has yet to be automated. Here, we present a new software pack...

background: in recent years significant medical science advances have been made in the field midwifery and infant care. the premature, low birth weight and ill infants are admitted to the technologically advanced nicu for care and they often require long‑term stay. this study addresses parental experiences with the infant care in nicu, explores their concerns regarding nursing supports for pare...

The lattice conditional independence (LCI) model N(C)<) is defined to be the set of all normal distributions N(O, E) on IR I such that for every pair L, M E 1<, XL and xM are conditionally independent given xLnM (ct , [AP] (1993a)). Here C)< is a ring of subsets (hence a distributive lattice) of the finite index set I such that 0, IE ".K, while for K E 1<, XK is the coordinate projection of x E...

Rapid population growth, and human activities (such as agriculture, industry, transports,...) development have increased vulnerability risk for water resources. Due to the complexity of natural processes and the numerous interactions between hydro-systems and human pressures, water quality is difficult to be quantified. In this context, we present a knowledge discovery process applied to hydrol...

pupose: to use non-text books in the programmed educational systems is important to deep and stabilized the content of the textbooks in students. therefore, it is essential to identify books that have the characteristics of a suitable book. the main purpose of this study is to provide a list of suitable non-textbooks compatible with the content of the primary school social science and science t...
