Association rule mining, in which generating frequent patterns is a key step, is an effective way of identifying inherent and unknown interrelationships between characteristics of celestial spectra data and its physicochemical properties. In this study, we first make use of the first-order predicate logic to represent knowledge derived from celestial spectra data. Next, we propose a concept of ...

This paper explores potential advantages and barriers of virtual teams toward making an interrelation between small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) with a comprehensive review on different aspects of virtual teams in SMEs based on authentic and reputed publications. The purpose of the state-of-the-art literature review is to provide an overview of what is known about the structure and dynamics of...

Interoperability standards play a crucial role in systems integration and information sharing in the electronic government environment. However, establishing these standards is not an easy process. Several factors, such as the number of involved agents, the environment in which the process takes place and the interrelation between the agents and the environment, not to mention the likely confli...

Events messages and methods are concepts supported by most object oriented analysis and design techniques The interrelation between these concepts is however not yet fully understood and guide lines and techniques for method speci cation remain unprecise and in complete In this paper we provide a simple object model which we use both to clarify the above interrelation and to devise a method for...

Catalytic engines can use hydrogen peroxide as a chemical fuel in order to drive motion at the microscale. The chemo-mechanical actuation is a complex mechanism based on the interrelation between catalytic reactions and electro-hydrodynamics phenomena. We studied catalytic micropumps using fluorescence confocal microscopy to image the concentration of protons in the liquid. In addition, we meas...

Secondary Information Structuring is the key part of an architecture, which is used for the knowledge-based, vertical interrelation of information resources: Primary Information Structuring (document grammars, marked-up instance documents) and abstract, conceptual resources (conceptual models, ontologies). Secondary Information Structuring encompasses a small set of predicates to select and int...

In human social interaction, the notions of commitment and trust are strongly interrelated. A formal model for this interrelation will enable artificial agents to benefit from the associated reduction of complexity and improved possibilities for cooperation. We argue that the notion of living up to one’s commitments, rather than actual fulfillment, plays the key role in the trust–commitment int...

Identifying biological and behavioural causes of diseases has been one of the central concerns of epidemiology for the past half century. This has led to the development of increasingly sophisticated conceptual and analytical approaches focused on the isolation of single causes of disease states. However, the growing recognition that (i) factors at multiple levels, including biological, behavio...

In this geostatistical analysis we present the results of interrelation between unemployment rate and lung cancer incidence ratios in the Province of Opole, Poland. In the study, unemployment statistics and population data were analyzed together with the registered (histopathologically confirmed) lung cancer cases (C34, ICD10) in sex-stratified working age population (18-65 years). The data wer...
