Analysis and discovery of useful information from World Wide Web poses a phenomenal challenge to the researcher. In this area, the phenomenon of retrieving valuable information by adopting the data mining techniques is called web mining. Web mining is classified into following five sub tasks: 1) Resource finding, 2) Information Selection and Pre-processing, 3) Generalization, 4) Analysis and 5)...

Biological invasions by agricultural pests can have serious negative impacts, including decreases in crop yield and economic losses. The MT-1 MT-8 genotypes of the wheat curl mite (Aceria tosichella) (hereafter ‘WCM’ refers to these two genotypes) are globally distributed maize that not been recorded South Africa. This study examined whether WCM could be introduced to, establish in, Trade data ...

We study the impact of activity-based costing (ABC) on adoption of world-class manufacturing (WCM) practices and plant performance. In contrast to earlier research that estimates the direct impact of ABC on plant performance, we develop an alternative research model to study the role of world-class manufacturing practices as a mediator of the impact of ABC. Analysis of data from a large cross-s...

With the growing use of Web Content Management Systems for the support of complex online business processes, traditional implementation solutions proofed to be inefficient. Specifically the gap between business requirements and the realized Web application should be closed. This paper presents the development of a modeling tool for the automated configuration of Web Content Management Systems (...

The optimization process of the RF magnetron sputtered Al doped ZnO (AZO) thin films was carried out by studying its structural, optical, electrical, and morphological properties at different RF power and different working pressures for its use as a front-contact for the copper indium diselenide (CIS) based thin film solar cell. The structural study suggests that the preferred orientation of gr...

The interaction of an intense short pulse laser ( 5 10 18 Wcm ) with underdense plasma was extensively studied. The beam is found to be highly susceptible to the forward Raman scattering instability. At sufficiently high growth rates, this can lead to wavebreaking with the resultant production of a high flux of accelerated electrons ( 10 for E 2 MeV). Some electrons are found to be accelerated ...

Scalp acupuncture (SA) is a commonly used therapeutic approach for stroke throughout China and elsewhere in the world. The objective of this study was to assess clinical efficacy and safety of SA for acute ischemic stroke. A systematical literature search of 6 databases was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of SA for acute ischemic stroke compared with western convention...

Credit restrictions, such as those happening in the current context shaped by crisis derived from COVID-19, make working capital management (WCM) a driving force behind SME performance. This paper analyses whether WCM policies affect economic and financial profitability of Spanish companies fish canning industry. Spain leads EU’s production canned seafood industry is key sector for economy. To ...

This paper investigates the relationship between internal audit and working capital management (WCM) of Malaysian public-listed firms. Good WCM is vital as it drives profitability. Anecdotal evidence suggests that inventory conversion period most challenging part for In 2017, around RM71 billion in cash was locked up thus suggesting firms are struggling with WCM. Based on this issue, we therefo...

This supplementary materials explain some implementation details and present additional experiments that are complementary to our main paper ”Joint Unsupervised Learning of Deep Representations and Image Clusters”. The source code for this work can be downloaded from https://github.com/jwyang/ joint-unsupervised-learning. 1. Affinity Measure for Clusters In this paper, we employ the affinity me...
