Clustering is an important data exploration task. A prominent clustering algorithm is agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Roughly, in each iteration, it merges the closest pair of clusters. It was rst proposed way back in 1951, and since then there have been numerous mod-iications. Some of its good features are: a natural, simple, and non-parametric grouping of similar objects which is capab...

factorial and split-plot designs are two statistical procedures used to conduct agricultural field experiments. both designs are used frequently to quantify the main and interaction effects of two or more factors. however, split-plot design is recommended for specific situations depending on major and minor goals of the study, characteristics of the factors, and precision of statistical testing...

This paper presents a framework for plot control in interactive story systems. In this framework, the user takes the place of the main character of the story, the protagonist. The rest of the cast consists of discrete characters, each playing a specific role in the story. A separate module in this system, the plot manager, controls the behavior of the cast and specifies what the protagonist can...

in order to study the effects of different sowing dates on yield potential of cumin ecotypes and to appoint the best sowing dates of cumin at kerman, the present experiment was performed base on rcbd with split plot arrangement and 3 replications during growing season of 2011-2012. different sowing dates (25th december, 9th january, 24th january, 8th february and 23th february) as main plot, an...

Many complex systems may best be described as networks, which we can use graph theory to analyze their topological properties. In an organism, protein-protein interactions may also be mapped into complex network. Here we use random graph theory to analyze seven different organism protein interaction networks. Three topological properties (degree distribution, clustering coefficient and average ...

Humans, as social beings, are capable of employing various behavioral cues, such as gaze, speech, manual action, and body posture, in everyday communication. However, to extract finegrained interaction patterns in social contexts has been presented with methodological challenges. Cross-Recurrence Plot Quantification Analysis (CRQA) is an analysis method invented in theoretical physics and recen...

This study aimed to determine the effect of biofertilizers from bamboo shoots and nitrogen (N) fertilizer on growth production lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.). The used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 2 factors. first factor is biofertilizer 3 levels : R1 = 20 ml/l water/plot, R2 30 R3 40 water/plot. second N (Urea) U1 20g/plot (100kg/ha), U2 30g/plot (150kg/ha), U3 40g/plot (200kg/ha). res...

AbstractInteraction of Ni complex(Salen= N, N´-ethylene bis(salicylideneimine)) with hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) was studied by absorption spectroscopy, competitive binding study and thermal denaturation study. The protein binding affinity of Ni complex was found to be (3.0×103M−1). The binding plot obtained from the absorption titration data gives a binding constant of 2.4 (± 0.3)×103 M...
