Extracting knowledge from sensor data for various purposes has received a great deal of attention by the data mining community. For the purpose of event detection in cyber-physical systems (CPS), e.g., damage in building or aerospace vehicles from the continuous arriving data is challenging due to the detection quality. Traditional data mining schemes are used to reduce data that often use metr...

today, the shortage of information about the different sections of organization is not the main challenges of managers and organizations. but, the ways to handle the huge amount of generated information for solving different problems of organization and decision making are main difficulties. information technology (it) can provide effective tools that help organizations to address such problem....

A new acid -base indicator which is less hazardous and inexpensive is proposed. It is capable of d istinguishing between the acids and bases. Titrations were carried out to ensure that the proposed indicator yields quantitative results. The results of titrations were quite satisfactory. The indicator was giving a distinct sustained colour even in the case of weak base and weak acid titrations. ...

Researchers have concerned about the link between Information Technology investment and performance. Indicators like productivity, profitability and market share could be improved by these tools. Among these tools, firms can now use Internet technologies for competitive purposes but, until now, their real effects are unclear. In this paper we try to provide some evidence about the impact of the...

In prioritising investment in natural capital, site-scale indicators are increasingly used to capture finescale variation inherent in complex ecosystems. However, site assessment is costly, has high skill demand, and is time-consuming. We assess the marginal gain associated with including site-scale indicators in metrics typically used by agri-environmental stewardship schemes and payments for ...

BACKGROUND The European Union (EU) lacks adequate capacity for public health monitoring. The creation of a stable European Health Information System would help Member States to carry out evidence-based health policy. Such a system would also benefit EU health priorities by providing European wide comparable information. This study is the first comprehensive assessment of the availability of gen...

this study aims to describe the way in which bibliometric analysis can become a trend recognition tool. the research work shows the application of bibliometric analysis in science. such analyses provide information about the response received by scientific publications. the paper indicates how, with the aid of a tripartite division, it becomes possible to examine the past, present and future. f...
