Heavy crude oil is known as oil that is highly viscous and of a higher density than that of conventional oil. Sand reservoirs containing heavy oil generally consist of unconsolidated sediments deposited at a shallow burial depth, with high porosity and permeability. In seismic exploration, acoustic impedance inversion is a commonly used tool in reservoir prediction. However, due to the unconsol...

The healthcare industry collects huge amounts of healthcare data which is not feasible to handle manually. Due to advancements in technology, today, many hospitals use information systems to store and manage data. These large amounts of data are very important in the field of data mining to extract useful information and generate relationships amongst the attributes. Thus, data mining is used t...

ion of High Level Concepts from Numerical Values in Databases Wesley W. Chu and Kuorong Chiang y Computer Science Department University of California, Los Angeles Abstract A conceptual clustering method is proposed for discovering high level concepts of numerical attribute values from databases. The method considers both frequency and value distributions of data, thus is able to discover releva...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate vertebral geometry changes and determine cutoff value of vertebral height to predict fractures. methods: in a cross-sectional study, 280 postmenopausal women recruited .in all subjects bone mineral density and radiog raphy of the lumbar spine performed. lateral radiographs were evaluated for identification of vertebral fractures, using a vali...

Scarcity of water for irrigation is an alarming issue of Pakistan and the problem is being magnified rapidly with the passage of time. Shortage of water is thus, a limiting factor in increasing per unit area wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield that is staple food of most of the people. Eventually, the gap between production and consumption is widening day by day and Pakistan is now suffering fro...

This paper examines where a tuning aid can be useful to help discretization of numerical attributes in rule induction, and subsequently improve deduction of induction results. Diierent discretizationmethods use diierent strategies to set up the borders for continuous attributes. They mostly incorporate class supervision to deene the discretization borders. The tuning aid we present uses an unsu...
