Title Efficient Mining of Association Rules in Distributed Databases Rights Creative Commons: Attribution 3.0 Hong Kong License Efficient Mining of Association Rules in Distributed Databases

Many sequential algorithms have been proposed for mining of association rules. However, very little work has been done in mining association rules in distributed databases. A direct application of sequential algorithms to distributed databases is not effective, because it requires a large amount of communication overhead. In this study, an efficient algorithm, DMA, is proposed. It generates a s...

In this paper, we propose a new M-channel wavelet bases called the cosine-modulated wavelets. We first generalize the theory of two-channel biorthogonal compactly supported wavelet bases to the M-channel case. A sufficient condition for the M-channel perfect reconstruction filter banks to construct M-channel compactly supported wavelet bases is given. By using this condition, a family of orthog...

Promotion, Prevention or Both: Regulatory Focus and Culture Revisited

Regulatory focus theory (e.g., Higgins, 1997) presented a differentiation between promotion orientation, focused on growth and advancement, and prevention orientation, focused on safety and security. Cross-culture differences in these systems generally show that that collectivist, Eastern cultures (mostly East-Asian cultures) are considered as prevention oriented whereas Western cultures are co...
