The trajectory pattern mining problem has recently attracted much attention due to the rapid development of location-acquisition technologies, and parallel computing essentially provides an alternative method for handling this problem. This study precisely addresses the problem of parallel mining of trajectory sequential patterns based on the newly proposed concepts with regard to trajectory pa...

The management of communication networks increasingly requires detailed knowledge of network usage, acquired by direct measurement. We report on the design and implementation of a backend system for Trajectory Sampling, a method for consistent sampling of packets across a network domain. This Trajectory Engine collects trajectory samples and stores them after appropriate preprocessing. It provi...

It is often desirable to control an automated vehicle to follow a predetermined trajectory, be it a road, a path to avoid obstacles, or a flight plan to avoid interference with other aircraft. Traditional approaches to this problem have valued closed form solutions to keep computational time low. As a result, these controllers have required not only a desired trajectory, but also a set of contr...

BACKGROUND Classifying medication adherence is important for efficiently targeting adherence improvement interventions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a novel method, group-based trajectory models, for classifying patients by their long-term adherence. RESEARCH DESIGN We identified patients who initiated a statin between June 1, 2006 and May 30, 2007 in prescription clai...

Tracking in urban street scenes is predominantly based on pretrained object-specific detectors and Kalman filter based tracking. More recently, methods have been proposed that track objects by modelling their shape, as well as ones that predict the motion of objects using learned trajectory models. In this paper, we combine these ideas and propose shape-motion patterns (SMPs) that incorporate s...

Although the multiplication of bacteriophages (phages) has a substantial impact on the biosphere, comparatively little is known about how the external environment affects phage production. Here we report that sub-lethal concentrations of certain antibiotics can substantially stimulate the host bacterial cell’s production of some virulent phage. For example, a low dosage of cefotaxime, a cephalo...

Abstract. This paper presents an iterative learning control using an information database (ILCID) for linear as well as nonlinear continuous time systems. It is proposed that a proper and efficient selection of the initial control input using the experience of previously tracked trajectories can improve the convergence rate of an iterative learning controller without modifying its control struc...

Coulomb excitation has proven itself as an important tool for studying the structure of both stable and exotic nuclei.[1– 4] The phenomenon has been well-studied in a nonrelativistic context[5] and studied perturbatively in a relativistic one[6] by Alder and Winther. More recent experimental studies have considered multiple Coulomb excitation at relativistic energies.[2–4] Many calculations of ...
