Law enforcement agencies use various crime analysis tools to discover crimes. However, a big volume of crime data has made the process of analyzing crimes difficult. Previously proposed methods only consider improving the productivity of the detectives and other law enforcement agencies. In this paper, we argue that the crime analysis methods should be also useful for citizen, and propose a use...

Abstract Financial exploitation of older adults has emerged as one the most common and costly forms elder abuse. While prior research examined risk protective factors that contribute to adults’ experiences being defrauded, less specifically explored prevalence these among 85+ age demographic. This not only includes hearing from directly about have contributed successful financial exploitation, ...

The hexaene macrolide antibiotics constitute the smallest group of the polyenes (12 ~ 1 5). Mediocidin, endomycin, hexaene H-85 and hexafungin each have a significant tetraene spectrum in addition to a hexaene spectrum (hexaene spectrum being predominant) and show high activity against fungi and moderate against Gram-positive bacteria. It was not possible to isolate the separate tetraene and he...

A multibond graph element for a general single moving body is derived. A multibody system can easily be described as an interconnection of these elements. 3-D mechanical systems usually contain dependent inertias having both differential and integral causality. A method is described for the transformation of inertias with dt@erential causality to an integral form, using formula manipulation. Th...
