Existing electricity market segmentation analysis techniques only make use of limited consumption statistics (usually averages and variances). In this paper we use power demand distributions (PDDs) obtained from fine-grain smart meter data to perform market segmentation based on distributional clustering. We apply this approach to mining 8 months of readings from about 1000 US Google employees.

With the astonishing rate that genomic and metagenomic sequence data sets are accumulating, there are many reasons to constrain the data analyses. One approach to such constrained analyses is to focus on select subsets of gene families that are particularly well suited for the tasks at hand. Such gene families have generally been referred to as "marker" genes. We are particularly interested in ...

Monitoring changes in the Earth’s gravity field for terrestrial water storage change (soil moisture, ground water, snow etc.) is a relatively new and novel concept that has been inspired by the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission. GRACE will soon be providing time varying maps of the Earth’s gravity. However, there has been no field based study to demonstrate that ...

Seed storage experiment was carried out to investigate the most appropriate period of storing and preserving soybean seed quality under ambient conditions. Germination percentage, seed vigour, moisture content, 1000 seed weight, protein and oil contents were assessed before storage (control), three months (90 days) and six months (180 days) after storage. The results indicated that soybean seed...

mind is mysterious and complex . thoughts were transferred from one mind to the other mind by cognitive domains and senses. the scientific information is based on observation and analysis, and research may benefit the most through initial real information. we have a virtual area in mind; this area can help us for cognition of patients even if they do not speak. physicians, nurses, therapists, c...
