Discovering interesting associations of events is an important data mining task. In many real applications, the notion of association, which deenes how events are associated, often depends on the particular application and user requirements. This motivates the need for a general framework that allows the user to specify the notion of association of his/her own choices. In this paper we present ...

apriori algorithm is the most popular algorithm in association rules mining. one of the problems the apriori algorithm is that the user must specify a minimum support threshold. consider that a user wants to implement the apriori algorithm on a database with millions of transactions; users will not have the necessary knowledge about all the transactions in the database and therefore cannot dete...

the holy shrine of imam rezaas is one of the most important places in iran in terms of religious and public beliefs. huge volumes of pilgrims travel to the mentioned place, so the appropriated environmental and furniture design to increase the visitors' satisfaction is inevitable. in this regards, the main objective of this study is to identify an appropriated design for public water taps ...

We present a preliminary study on the relations between personality types and user preferences in multiple entertainment domains, namely movies, TV shows, music, and books. We analyze a total of 53,226 Facebook user profiles composed of both personality scores (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism) from the Five Factor model, and explicit interests about 16 genr...

the effect of γ-al2o3 nanoparticles on heat transfer rate, baffle spacing and pressure drop in the shell side of small shell and tube heat exchangers was investigated numerically under turbulent regime. γ-al2o3-water nanofluids and pure water were used in the shell side and the tube side of heat exchangers, respectively. since the properties of γ-al2o3-water nanofluids were variable, they were ...

the main purpose of this study was to analyze the problems of water user associations (wuas) in the irrigation management transfer (imt) process. the study is based upon a descriptive-correlational research method. the statistical population of the study consisted of 2500 farmers in wuas. a sample of 262 farmers was selected using “random sampling” method. data were collected through questionna...

abstract the objective of the present study is to assess the performance of 18 irrigation districts from ten countries in the world using the benchmarking method and data mining analysis (cluster analysis). irrigation networks of dez, sefidrood, tajan and voshmgir from iran have been compared with 14 irrigation districts from nine other countries. the k- means algorithm was used to analyze the ...
