Article History: Received: 17/03/2015 Accepted: 17/02/2016 Published:26/5/2016 This study optimises manually derived rule-based expert system classification of objects according to changes in their properties over time. One of the key challenges that this study tries to address is how to classify objects that exhibit changes in their behaviour over time, for example how to classify companies’ s...

In this paper we use “Clustering Method” to understand whether stock market volatility can be predicted at all, and if so, when it can be predicted. The exercise has been performed for the Indian stock market on daily data for two years. For our analysis we map number of clusters against number of variables. We then test for efficiency of clustering. Our contention is that, given a fixed number...

BACKGROUND The optimal operative method for acromioclavicular joint reconstruction remains controversial. The modified Weaver-Dunn method is one of the most popular methods. Anatomic reconstruction of coracoclavicular ligaments with autogenous tendon grafts, widely used in treating chronic acromioclavicular joint instability, reportedly diminishes pain, eliminates sequelae, and improves functio...

The present paper introduces an innovative approach for anomaly-based IDS. The main idea is to construct model that characterizes the expected/acceptable behavior of the system using a clustering algorithm based on a 2-means clustering anomaly detection technique and a classification tree. Methods for clustering, training and detection are provided. The applied parameter, considered for perform...

weather pattern. In February, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned in its routine forecasts that the bleaching observed in the Pacific last year may be the start of a third global catastrophe for coral reefs. And this time, it cannot be blamed on El Niño. It is simply down to the general warming of the oceans, which in 2014 reached the highest average temperature...

Paediatrician and pioneer of perinatal medicine. Born in Birmingham, UK, on June 23, 1929, he died Bristol, Feb 2, 2021, aged 91 years. When paediatrician Peter Dunn retired from clinical work at the University 1988, did so as Emeritus Professor Perinatal Medicine. It was a title had not only earned but could be said to have invented. “His key contribution [to medicine] lay linking staff lookin...
