Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMFTPM: Maximum Frequent Traversal Pattern Mining with Bidirectional ConstraintsJiadong Ren, Xiaojian Zhang, Huili PengAn important application of sequential mining technique is maximal frequent traversal pattern mining, since users' traversal pattern and motivation are latent in session sequence at some time segment. In this paper, a Frequent Traversal Pattern Tree structure with dwell time (FTP-Tree) is designed to store, compress the session database, and simplify the configuration of dwell time thresholds during mining. A … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,530 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy and Carbon Flux Coupling: Multi-ecosystem Comparisons Using Artificial Neural NetworkAssefa M. Melesse, Rodney S. HanleyA multi-ecosystems carbon flux simulation from energy fluxes is presented. A new statistical learning technique based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) back propagation algorithm and multi-layer perceptron architecture was used in the CO2 simulation. Four input layers (net radiation, soil heat flux, sensible and latent heat flux) were used for training (calibration) and testing (verification) of model outputs. The 15-days … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 7,347 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombating Climate Change One Bite at a Time: Environmental Sustainability of Veganism (with a Socio-Behavioral Comparison of Vegans and Omnivores)Jennifer M. Ghahari, Jennifer A. McAdamIn an era of escalating climate change, our research examines the environmental benefits of veganism and finds which factors could contribute to a societal shift towards veganism. Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) release significant greenhouse gas emissions as well as expose people and animals to pathogens. Tropical rainforest destruction for grazing land, the vast amount of fresh/potable water needed for … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2018 · 9,761 accessesView PDF Cite
