This paper proposes a new sequential pattern mining method. The method introduces a new evaluation criterion satisfying the Apriori property. The criterion is calculated by the frequency of the sequential pattern and the minimum frequency of items included in the items. It extracts sequential patterns that can be rules predicting future items with high probability. Also, the method introduces n...

It is often incorrectly assumed that the number of microstates Ω(E, V, N, ...) available to an isolated system can have arbitrary dependence on the extensive variables E, V, N, ... However, this is not the case for systems which can, in principle, reach thermodynamic equilibrium since restrictions arise from the underlying equilibrium statistical mechanic axioms of independence and a priori equ...

This study addresses the strength and toughness of generic fibrillar structures. We show that the stress sigmac required to pull a fibril out of adhesive contact with a substrate has the form sigma(c) = sigma(0)Phi(chi). In this equation, sigma(0) is the interfacial strength, Phi(chi) is a dimensionless function satisfying 0 <or= Phi(chi) <or= 1 and chi is a dimensionless parameter that depends...

1. For the phototropic reaction of bees, the stimulating effects of two illuminated fields differing in intensity and area become equal when the product of area and intensity is the same for both fields. 2. The effect of two areas differing in size and flicker frequency is the same for the bee, when the product of area and flicker frequency is equal for both fields. 3. If two patterns of the sa...

Research on nonmonotonic temporal reasoning in general, and the Yale Shooting Problem in particular, has suffered from the absence of a criterion against which to evaluate solutions. Indeed, researchers in the area disagree not only on the solutions but also on the problems. We propose a formal yet intuitive criterion by which to evaluate theories of actions, define a monotonic class of theorie...

This study aims to analyze the views of Rifa’iyah scholars in Kandeman District, Batang Regency, regarding concept kafa’ah marriage, as well know and understand factors behind that they constructed. juridical-sociological research used a historical-sociological approach. The results showed towards kafa’ah, which is interpreted equal or balanced, area urgency function lies creating harmonious fa...

Melting is analyzed dynamically as a problem of localization at a liquid-solid interface. A Lindemann-like criterion of melting is derived in terms of particular vibrational amplitudes, which turn out to equal a universal quotient (about one-tenth) of the molecular spacing, at the interface. The near universality of the Lindemann ratio apparently arises owing to strongly overdamped dynamics nea...

We examine the problem of jointly selecting the number of components and variables in finite mixture regression models. We find that the Akaike information criterion is unsatisfactory for this purpose because it overestimates the number of components, which in turn results in incorrect variables being retained in the model. Therefore, we derive a new information criterion, the mixture regressio...

Shaw, Keefer, Refsdsl and others (1) have shown that goopotential height is represented on the tcphigrani by an area, and that an isentropic at'mosphere XY (figure l), equal in geopotential height to a given atmosphe,re AB, may be const8ruct8ed by so placing the line XY on the tepliigram t,hat the area XAZ is equal to the area YBZ. The effect of moistmure is normally negligible, but may be allo...

ABSTRACT Objective: to verify the validity and reliability of Psychological Distress Scale for screening mental distress. Methods: a cross-sectional study with 75 elderly people. scale Self Reporting Questionnaire were used. Criterion was verified using Spearman’s correlation diagnostic accuracy measures. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient used investigate reliability. Results: total internal consist...
