A Markov equivalence class contains all the Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) encoding the same conditional independencies, and is represented by a Completed Partially Directed DAG (CPDAG), also named Essential Graph (EG). We approach the problem of model selection among noncausal sparse Gaussian DAGs by directly scoring EGs, using an objective Bayes method. Specifically, we construct objective pr...

Single-layered graphene has unique electronic, chemical, and electromechanical properties. Recently, graphite exfoliation in N-methylpyrrolidone and molten salt has been demonstrated to generate monolayer exfoliated graphene sheets (EGS). However, these solvents are either high-priced or require special care and have high boiling points and viscosities, making it difficult to deposit the disper...

At the request of the U.S. Department of Energy, the JASON group that provides independent technical advice to the U.S. Government studied Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) with a focus on i) assessment of technologies and approaches for subsurface imaging and characterization; and ii) assessment of approaches toward creating sites for EGS, including science and engineering to enhance permeabil...

Enhancement of the effectiveness and efficiency of e-government services (EGS) is critical to better meeting the increasing public demands for services. One of the better solutions to meet such demands is improving the government’s EGS capability (EGSC). However, few studies discuss the issues. The purpose of this study was to employ capability management perspectives to develop theoretical lin...

The special nature of groceries, especially perishables, challenges the possibilities of digital channels i.e. computers and networks to improve customer service. We report the findings of theme interviews on the potential of electronic commerce (EC) of groceries with 33 experts of grocery industry and EC, most of them senior executives, in 23 organisations in Finland during the Autumn of 1997....

Abstract Polyphenols have interesting antioxidant properties and could help prevent certain diseases. Emulsion gels (EGs) characteristics that make them a promising alternative system for supplying several bioactive compounds simultaneously, among polyphenols. We produced four EGs containing olive oil, soy protein cold gelling agent based on alginate. One basic formulation (ES) contained only t...

Games and Educational Games(EGs)! To what extent do they diverge? How game designers approach such apposition? The extensive need for games in outside classrooms demands clarity between EGs through designers’ perspectives. In the Australian context, have witnessed technological advancement, user-expectation, use of within various contexts, including classroom. transformation technology to adapt...

The study addresses the challenging problem of automatic segmentation of the human anatomy needed for radiation dose calculations. Three-dimensional extensions of two well-known stateof-the art segmentation techniques are proposed and tested for usefulness on a set of clinical CT images. The new techniques are 3D Statistical Region Merging (3D-SRM) and 3D Efficient Graph-based Segmentation (3D-...

Abstract—The aim of this work was to investigate the potential of soil microorganisms and the burhead plant, as well as the combination of soil microorganisms and plants to remediate monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG), and triethylene glycol (TEG) in synthetic wastewater. The result showed that a system containing both burhead plant and soil microorganisms had the highest effici...
