With the quick development of the semantic web technology, RDF data explosion has become a challenging problem. Since RDF data are always from different resources, which may have overlap with each other, they could have duplicates. These duplicates may cause ambiguity and even error in reasoning. However, attentions are seldom paid to this problem. In this paper, we study the problem and give a...

This paper introduces an on-line semi-supervised learning algorithm formulated as a regularized kernel spectral clustering (KSC) approach. We consider the case where new data arrive sequentially but only a small fraction of it is labeled. The available labeled data act as prototypes and help to improve the performance of the algorithm to estimate the labels of the unlabeled data points. We adop...

This research addresses a seldom studied aspect of lightning—lightning cessation. Holle et al. (1992) found that the majority of casualties occur either during thunderstorm initiation or during dissipation. Between these times, when the threat of lightning is obvious, there are fewer casualties. Thus, the initiation and cessation of lightning activity are critically important periods. Florida i...

At Kennedy Space Center (KSC), an important use of Discrete Event Simulation (DES) addresses ground operations .of missions to space. DES allows managers, scientists and engineers to assess the number of missions KSC can complete on a given schedule within different facilities, the effects of various configurations of resources and detect possible problems or unwanted situations. For fifteen ye...

Beta1-integrin protects keratinocyte stem cells (KSC) from cell-detachment apoptosis ('anoikis'). Here we show that caspase-8 active protein is detected in both young transit amplifying (TA) cells and TA cells, but not in KSC. On suspension, caspases are activated earlier in young TA than in KSC, whereas anti-beta1-integrin neutralizing antibody accelerates caspase activation in both KSC and yo...

New Zealand top executives are seldom explored, and this paper examines the role of work-life balance (WLB) on executives’ turnover intentions, with job burnout mediating relationship. It is expected that strong WLB will be aided stronger wellbeing (lower burnout) work behaviours turnover). Beyond these relationships, knowledge sharing culture (KSC) included as a moderator combined, moderated m...

water deficit and low nitrogen content of soil are the two major yield limiting factors in most maize (zea mays l.) producing areas. the objective of the current research was to evaluate the relationships between photosynthetic water and nitrogen use efficiency at different levels of soil moisture and nitrogen contents. a factorial experiment, based on completely randomized design with 3 replic...
