Using a bibliometric approach, this paper analyzes research trends and forecasts of data mining from 1989 to 2009 by locating heading ‘‘data mining’’ in topic in the SSCI database. The bibliometric analytical technique was used to examine the topic in SSCI journals from 1989 to 2009, we found 1181 articles with data mining. This paper implemented and classified data mining articles using the fo...

For years, law enforcement personnel have compared DNA found at crime scenes with that of a convicted offender. Recently, a new technique has begun to focus on the genetic similarity of biological relatives. Now, if a crime scene sample partially matches the DNA profile of a previous offender, law enforcement can investigate and possibly arrest that person’s family members. This process is call...

The number of times, a scientist is cited in other scientific publications is now an important factor in his merit consideration. Normally citation indices of highly cited scientists are available, which in turn give information only about the dynamics of the citation mechanism of this group. In the present work, we studied the statistical distribution of the citation index of Brazilian scienti...

A time series that represents daily values of the WIG index (the main index of Warsaw Stock Exchange) over last 5 years is examined. Non-Gaussian features of distributions of fluctuations, namely returns, over a time scale are considered. Some general properties like exponents of the long range correlation estimated by averaged volatility and detrended fluctuations analysis (DFA) as well as exp...

We summarize recent developments in the study of the origin of halo spin profiles and preliminary implications on disk formation. The specific angular-momentum distributions within halos in N-body simulations match a universal shape, M (< j) ∝ j/(j 0 +j). It is characterized by a power law over most of the mass, and one shape parameter in addition to the spin parameter λ. The angular momentum t...

The distribution of times ∆t between coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) CME catalog for the years 1996-2001 is examined. The distribution exhibits a power-law tail ∝ (∆t) with an index γ ≈ −2.36± 0.11 for large waiting times (∆t > 10 hours). The powerlaw index of the waiting-time distribution varies with the solar cycle: for the years 1996-199...

Due to the increasingly wide application of electroosmotic flow in micromachines, this paper investigates the electroosmotic flow of the power-law fluid under high zeta potential in a cylindrical microcapillary for different dimensionless parameters. The electric potential distribution inside a cylindrical microcapillary is presented by the complete Poisson-Boltzmann equation applicable to an a...

As the improvement of computing power, texting mining becomes more focused than before. In order to realize the literature productivity of such territory, we analyze the literatures on SSCI database with subjects as “Text Mining”. Applied the methodology of bibliometrics, we found several outcomes in this research. First, the distribution of frequency indexes of author’s productivity fulfills L...
