Pattern similarity-based frameworks are widely used for classification and regression problems. Repeated, similar-shaped cycles observed in seasonal time series encourage the use of such forecasting. In this paper, we pattern models mid-term load An integral part these is patterns sequences representation. representation ensures input output data unification through trend filtering variance equ...

A 2D unsteady computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is employed to simulate buoyancy-driven turbulent ventilation in attics with different pitch values and ceiling insulation levels under summer conditions. The impacts of roof pitch and ceiling insulation on the cooling load of gable-roof residential buildings are investigated based on the simulation of turbulent air flow and natural convect...

The maximum speedup of direct parallelization of pattern-growth mining algorithms for long sequences is limited by the load imbalance among the parallel tasks. In this paper, we present a scheme to parallelize pattern-growth mining algorithms using partial enumeration for high speedup. The experimental results show that partial enumeration increases the achievable speedup of parallel mining sig...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Clinical indicators of pelvic girdle dysfunction are limited. However, research has shown that the pattern of intrapelvic motion is altered during single-leg support in subjects with pelvic girdle pain (PGP). Functionally, no relative motion should occur within the pelvis during load transfer, whereas anterior rotation of the innominate bone relative to the sacrum occurs ...

BACKGROUND Although breathlessness is common in chronic heart failure (CHF), the role of inspiratory muscle dysfunction remains unclear. We hypothesised that inspiratory muscle endurance, expressed as a function of endurance time (Tlim) adjusted for inspiratory muscle load and inspiratory muscle capacity, would be reduced in CHF. METHODS Endurance was measured in 10 healthy controls and 10 pa...
