Abstract Semi-supervised clustering improves learning performance as long as it uses a small number of labeled samples to assist un-tagged samples for learning. This paper implements and compares unsupervised and semi-supervised clustering analysis of BOAArgo ocean text data. Unsupervised K-Means and Affinity Propagation (AP) are two classical clustering algorithms. The Election-AP algorithm is proposed to handle the final cluster number in AP clustering as it has proved to be difficult to control in a suitable range. Semi-supervised samples thermocline data in the BOA-Argo dataset according to the thermocline standard definition, and use this data for semi-supervised… More >

Abstract In the past few decades, Energy Efficiency (EE) has been a significant challenge in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). WSN requires reduced transmission delay and higher throughput with high quality services, it further pays much attention in increased energy consumption to improve the network lifetime. To collect and transmit data Clustering based routing algorithm is considered as an effective way. Cluster Head (CH) acts as an essential role in network connectivity and perform data transmission and data aggregation, where the energy consumption is superior to non-CH nodes. Conventional clustering approaches attempts to cluster nodes of same… More >

Abstract Featured by high energy density, low combustion pollution and large quantity, natural gas hydrate has become one of the research hotspots in Sanlutian Field of Muri Coalfield since 2008, when China first drilled natural gas hydrate samples in the permafrost area of Qilian Mountains, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, the study on the controlling factors of gas hydrate accumulation is still shallow, which hinders the exploration and development of natural gas hydrate resources. The controlling factors of gas hydrate accumulation mainly include temperature and pressure conditions, gas source conditions, sedimentary conditions and structural conditions, among which structural More >

Abstract Security-sensitive functions are the basis for building a taint-style vulnerability model. Current approaches for extracting security-sensitive functions either don’t analyze data flow accurately, or not conducting pattern analyzing of conditions, resulting in higher false positive rate or false negative rate, which increased manual confirmation workload. In this paper, we propose a security sensitive function mining approach based on preconditon pattern analyzing. Firstly, we propose an enhanced system dependency graph analysis algorithm for precisely extracting the conditional statements which check the function parameters and conducting statistical analysis of the conditional statements for selecting candidate security sensitive More >

Abstract Mobile commerce (m-commerce) contributes to increasing the popularity of electronic commerce (e-commerce), allowing anybody to sell or buy goods using a mobile device or tablet anywhere and at any time. As demand for e-commerce increases tremendously, the pressure on delivery companies increases to organise their transportation plans to achieve profits and customer satisfaction. One important planning problem in this domain is the multi-vehicle profitable pickup and delivery problem (MVPPDP), where a selected set of pickup and delivery customers need to be served within certain allowed trip time. In this paper, we proposed hybrid clustering algorithms More >

Abstract In order to study deeply the prominent problems faced by China’s clean government work, and put forward effective coping strategies, this article analyzes the network information of anti-corruption related news events, which is based on big data technology. In this study, we take the news report from the website of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) as the source of data. Firstly, the obtained text data is converted to word segmentation and stop words under preprocessing, and then the pre-processed data is improved by vectorization and text clustering, finally,… More >

Abstract Satellite observation schedule is investigated in this paper. A mission planning algorithm of task clustering is proposed to improve the observation efficiency of agile satellite. The newly developed method can make the satellite observe more targets and therefore save observation resources. First, for the densely distributed target points, a pre-processing scheme based on task clustering is proposed. The target points are clustered according to the distance condition. Second, the local observation path is generated by Tabu algorithm in the inner layer of cluster regions. Third, considering the scatter and cluster sets, the global observation path More >

Abstract Due to the slow processing speed of text topic clustering in stand-alone architecture under the background of big data, this paper takes news text as the research object and proposes LDA text topic clustering algorithm based on Spark big data platform. Since the TF-IDF (term frequency-inverse document frequency) algorithm under Spark is irreversible to word mapping, the mapped words indexes cannot be traced back to the original words. In this paper, an optimized method is proposed that TF-IDF under Spark to ensure the text words can be restored. Firstly, the text feature is extracted by More >

Abstract The clustered protocadherins (Pcdhs) are single-pass transmembrane proteins that constitute a subfamily within the cadherin superfamily. In mammals, they are arranged in three consecutive clusters named α, β, and γ. These proteins are expressed in the nervous system and are targeted to mature synapses. Interestingly, different neurons express different subsets of isoforms; however, little is known about the functions and expression of the clustered Pcdhs.
Previous phylogenetic analyses that compared rodent and human clusters postulated the recent occurrence of gene duplication events. Using standard phylogenetic methods, I confirmed the prior observations, and I show that… More >

Abstract The genus Vicia L. belongs to the tribe Vicieae of the Fabaceae family. The genus includes about 190 species, from which about 40 species have economic importance. Some of them are food crops, but more than a dozen are forage plants. In this study, leaves of Vicia species from China, USA and Argentina were examined using stereo-microscopy and light microscopy. We determined macro- and micro-morphological characteristics that could be of taxonomic use. Forty eight characteristics of each taxon were determined including petiole and tendril length; leaflets number, length, width, shape, apex, base; blade surface, trichome shape, More >
