XML is touted as the breakthrou gh in data exchange on the web. As XML material becomes more abundant, the ability to gain knowledge from XML sources decreas es. Thus, there is a great need to apply data mining techniques to XML data. This paper suggests taxonomy of XML mining as a stepping -stone to further XML mining research. This paper explicitly expresses the available classes of XML mater...

I address the spread and wage implications of schooling mismatches, given the possible lack of synchronisation in the education system-labour market relationship. My main contribution is in studying the role of unobserved heterogeneity in the overand under-education phenomena, by drawing on a matched employer-employee panel. I find that the identification of the key parameters is made difficult...

Lifelogging is becoming widely deployed outside the scope of solipsistic self quantification. In elite sport, the ability to utilize these digital footprints of athletes for sport analytic has already become a game changer. This raises privacy concerns regarding both the individual lifelogger and the bystanders inadvertently captured by increasingly ubiquitous sensing devices. This paper descri...

Data mining delivers insights, patterns, and descriptive and predictive models from the large amounts of data available today in many organisations. The data miner draws heavily on methodologies, techniques and algorithms from statistics, machine learning, and computer science. R increasingly provides a powerful platform for data mining. However, scripting and programming is sometimes a challen...

To lower bound the effective dimension for local Hamiltonian models, we will use a theorem from [1, 2] as a stepping stone. This is a quantum version of the BerryEsseen theorem. The Berry-Esseen theorem is a more powerful statement than the central limit theorem, as it gives the rate of convergence of a distribution to a Gaussian. Let H = ∑ ν Eν |ν〉〈ν| be k-local, i.e., let H be of the form H =...

We present a transformational approach to the design of real-time systems. The starting point are requirements formulated in a subset of Duration Calculus called implementables and the target are program speci-cations in a language SL that combines regular expressions with action systems and time conditions. While Duration Calculus is state-based, SL is event-based and can be seen as a stepping...

During recent decades, several research teams engaged in unraveling the molecular structure and the physiological significance of pigment dispersing hormone-like peptides, particularly with respect to colour change and biological rhythms. In this review, we first summarise the entire history of pigment dispersing hormone-like peptide research, thus providing a stepping stone for those who are c...

now carrying out the practice of the principles it teaches have a very warm regard, as in many instances it formed the stepping-stone from the study, of anatomy and physiology to what may he called medicine proper. The present edition has been brought thoroughly up to date by the editor Dr. F. J. Chatteris, the whole text being extensively revised and in many instances rewritten. Some parts are...

Writing irregular parallel algorithms with OpenMP has been rarely practised in the past. Yet it is possible, and in this paper we will use a simple breadth–first search application as an example to show a possible stepping stone and deficiency of the OpenMP specification: It is very difficult to cancel the threads in a parallel region. A way to work around the issue within the existing OpenMP s...

We introduce a new protocol designed to assist in the forensic investigation of malicious network-based activity, specifically addressing the stepping-stone scenario in which an attacker uses a chain of connections through many hosts to hide his or her identity. Our protocol, the Session TOken Protocol (STOP), enhances the Identification Protocol (ident) infrastructure by sending recursive requ...
