The mining of frequent patterns (or frequent itemsets) plays an essential role in many tasks of data mining. One major methodology for mining frequent patterns is the Apriori-based approach, which is computationally costly because many candidate itemsets have to be generated and verified. More recently, another approach using the Frequent-Pattern Tree (FP-tree) have been suggested to avoid the ...

INTRODUCTION To evaluate the effect of intravenous thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) on the urethral closure pressure (UCP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-two female patients with either bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) or detrusor under activity were included in this study. They divided into two study and control groups randomly. Twelve patients in study group received 200 microgr of TRH in...

The study designed and constructed a prototype recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) which was used to examine the liver and kidney histology of hybrid catfish (Heterobranchus bidorsalis (♂) X Clarias gariepinus (♀)) fed six practical diets after 12 weeks. Fingerlings of the test fish, mean weight and length of 1.01±0.02g and 4.63±0.34cm were used for the study. In the formulated diets fishmea...

The fruit diameter (FD), length (FL), peduncle (FPL), weight (FW) and index (FI, FL/FD) are important quantitative traits in wolfberry fruit, also one of the most goals variety breeding; however, inheritance these has not been studied to date. In this study, genetic analysis five was undertaken for four pairs F1 hybrid populations (CI, CII, CIII CIV) using major gene polygene mixed model. resul...

For the period 2008–12, persons living in poor households at or below the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) (39.8 per 1,000) had more than double the rate of violent victimization as persons in high-income households (16.9 per 1,000) (figure 1). The percentage of persons reporting violence to police was also higher among households at or below the FPL. More than half of victims of violence from poor ...

A fully packed loop (FPL) model on the square lattice is the statistical ensemble of all loop configurations, where loops are drawn on the bonds of the lattice, and each loop visits every site once [4,18]. On finite geometries, loops either connect external terminals on the boundary, or form closed circuits, see for example Figure 1. In this chapter we shall be mainly concerned with FPL models ...

Dynamic random dot fusion, stereopsis and stereoacuity were evaluated in 149 healthy, fullterm infants, using both forced-choice preferential looking (FPL) and steady-state visual evoked potential (VEP) protocols. Few infants aged 2-3 months demonstrated fusion or stereopsis in either the FPL or VEP protocol; most infants aged 5 months and older demonstrated fusion and stereopsis in both protoc...

Fuzzy Predicate Logic with Evaluated Syntax (FPL) (Novák, V.) is a well-studied and wide-used logic capable of expressing vagueness. It has a lot of applications based on robust theoretical background. It also requires an efficient formal proof theory. However the most widely applied resolution principle (Dukić, N.) brings syntactically several obstacles mainly arising from normal form transfor...

We consider two broad families of non-additive loss functions covering a large number of applications: rational losses and tropical losses. We give new algorithms extending the Followthe-Perturbed-Leader (FPL) algorithm to both of these families of loss functions and similarly give new algorithms extending the Randomized Weighted Majority (RWM) algorithm to both of these families. We prove that...

In this report we describe our encounter of a case of hand trauma referred to our center presenting with incomplete left thumb amputation at metacarpal level with extensor pollicis longus (EPL) and flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon avulsion from the tenomuscular junction. After metacarpal bone fixation the ulnar digital artery was anastomosed and the digital nerves were coapted. Transfer of e...
