Discovering interesting associations of events is an important data mining task. In many real applications, the notion of association, which deenes how events are associated, often depends on the particular application and user requirements. This motivates the need for a general framework that allows the user to specify the notion of association of his/her own choices. In this paper we present ...

Domain adaptation is the task of transforming a model trained using data from a source domain to a different target domain. In Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA), we do not assume any labelled training data from the target domain. In this paper, we consider the problem of UDA in the contact of Part-of-Speech (POS). Specifically, we study the effect of data imbalance on UDA of POS, and compare...

We report the design and experiment of a novel Yagi-Uda dipole array fed by a MS-to-CPS transition. The Yagi-Uda array having one director on the same plane of the dielectric substrate as the driver element shows higher gain (9.1dB) than microstrip patch antennas and a much wider bandwidth (10.3%). The measured front-to-back ratio is about 15dB. This novel design should become an important alte...

We report the draft genome sequence of Cellulomonas sp. HZM, isolated from a tropical peat swamp forest. The draft genome size is 3,559,280 bp with a G + C content of 73% and contains 3 rRNA sequences (single copies of 5S, 16S and 23S rRNA).

Enterprise applications need sophisticated in-database analytics in addition to traditional online analytical processing from a database. To meet customers’ pressing demands, database vendors have been pushing advanced analytical techniques into databases. Most major DBMSes offer User-Defined Aggregate (UDA), a data-driven operator, to implement many of the analytical techniques in parallel. Ho...

The success of deep learning in computer vision is mainly attributed to an abundance of data. However, collecting large-scale data is not always possible, especially for the supervised labels. Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to utilize labeled data from a source domain to learn a model that generalizes to a target domain of unlabeled data. A large amount of existing work uses Siamese ...

A comparative study of testicular biometry was done in rams using three major breeds of sheep in Nigeria. Biometrical parameters observed were scrotal circumference (SC), testes weight (TW), testes length (TL), tunica albuginea weight (TAW), testes volume (TV), testes density (TD), epididymal weight (EW), epididymal length (EL), caput (CA), corpus (CO), cauda weight (CU), epididymal volume (EV)...

A Gram-positive, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain T26(T), was isolated from subsurface soil of Tianjin coal mine, China. Colonies were yellow-white, convex, circular, smooth and non-transparent on R2A agar. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain T26(T) was closely related to members of the genus Cellulomonas and a member of the genus...

We present the genome of the cellulose-degrading Cellulomonas sp. strain FA1 isolated from an actively serpentinizing highly alkaline spring. Knowledge of this genome will enable studies into the molecular basis of plant material degradation in alkaline environments and inform the development of lignocellulose bioprocessing procedures for biofuel production.
