Traditional approaches to temporal databases are either not formal or deal only with static features, considering mainly a single state of the database. The temporal nature of data in temporal databases, however, is intrinsically dynamic, for it deals with the evolution of data. In this work, a temporal logic framework is proposed to simultaneously cope with both the static and the dynamic aspe...

In this paper we extend the XPath data model and query language to include valid time. XPath is a language for specifying locations within an XML document. We extend XPath’s data model by adding to each node a list of disjoint intervals or instants that represents the valid time. The valid time for a node is constrained to be a subset of the valid time for a node’s parent. We extend the XPath q...

Research in temporal databases has largely focused on extensions of existing data models for the proper handling of temporal information. One approach is to store temporal data on existing DBMS and build some new indexes to provide support for the efficient retrieval of temporal data. This paper describes mapping strategies to linearize the data such that existing B +-trees can be used directly...

The proportional-bandwidth and constant-bandwidth timefrequency signal decompositions of the wavelet, Gabor, and Wilson Manuscript received August 21, 1992; revised May 26, 1993. The Guest Editor coordinating the review of this paper and approving it for publication was Dr. Patrick Flandrin. This work was supported in part by the Sound Group of the computer-based Education Research Laboratory, ...

Islamic Traditional Medicine (ITM) is a holistic system of medicine. Saffron (Crocus sativus) is one of the most famous plants cultivated in Iran and has a wide range of activities such as oxytocic, anti-carcinogenic, exhilarant, anti-depressant, and anti-asthma effects. In addition, saffron can increase the bioavailability and enhance absorption of other drugs. This study comprises a bibliogra...

Existing systems for XML views only support selection operation applied in the views and cannot validate views. In this paper, we propose a systematic approach to design valid XML views. First, we transform the semistructured XML source documents into a semantically rich Object-RelationshipAttribute model designed for SemiStructured data (ORA-SS). Second, we enrich the ORA-SS diagram with seman...

Predicting the response at an unobserved location is a fundamental problem in spatial statistics. Given difficulty modeling dependence, especially nonstationary cases, model-based prediction intervals are risk of misspecification bias that can negatively affect their validity. Here we present new approach for model-free nonparametric based on conformal machinery. Our key observation data be tre...
