Periodic-frequent patterns are an important class of regularities that exist in a transactional database. Informally, a frequent pattern is said to be periodic-frequent if it appears at a regular interval specified by the user (i.e., periodically) in a database. A pattern-growth algorithm, called PFP-growth, has been proposed in the literature to discover the patterns. This algorithm constructs...

Fluorine-treated titanium nitride-silicon oxide-hafnium oxide-silicon oxide-silicon devices (hereafter F-MOHOS) are candidates for total ionization dose (TID) radiation sensor applications. The main subject of the study reportedherein is the performance improvement in terms of TID radiation-induced charge generation effect and charge-retention reliability characterization for F-MOHOS devices. I...

In this paper, we construct the new class of tempered infinitely divisible (TID) distributions. Taking into account the tempered stable distribution class, as introduced by in the seminal work of Rosińsky [10], a modification of the tempering function allows one to obtain suitable properties. In particular, TID distributions may have exponential moments of any order and conserve all proper prop...

This study investigated the changes in cardiorespiratory response and running performance of 9 male "Talent Identification" (TID) and 6 male Senior Elite (SE) Spanish National Squad triathletes during a specific cycle-run (C-R) test. The TID and SE triathletes (initial age 15.2 ± 0.7 vs. 23.8 ± 5.6 years, p = 0.03; V(O2)max 77.0 ± 5.6 vs. 77.8 ± 3.6 ml · kg(-1) · min(-1), nonsignificant) underw...

Using a combination of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), we made a comparative study of the high-temperature annealing impact on thin titanium deuteride (TiD(y)) films covered by an ultrathin Pd layer, and on Ti/Pd bilayer films. The bilayer films were prepared under ultrahigh vacuum conditions and...

OBJECTIVE Abnormal values of the transient ischemic dilation ratio (TID) according to an exercise myocardial SPECT are linked to severe coronary artery disease. The authors investigated the relationship between TID and the levels of VCAM, ICAM, E-selectin, microalbuminuria, intima-media thickness and HbA(1c) of diabetic subjects. METHODS We observed 38 subjects with diabetes type 2 (10 women,...

This study compared high dose ranitidine versus low dose omeprazole with antibiotics for the eradication of H pylori. 80 patients (mean age 48 years, range 18-75) who had H pylori infection were randomised in an investigator-blind manner to either a two-week regime of omeprazole 20 mg daily, amoxycillin 500 mg tid and metronidazole 400 mg tid (OAM), or ranitidine 600 mg bd, amoxycillin 500 mg t...
