An order-clique-based approach for mining maximal co-locations (2009)
Journal Article
Wang, L., Zhou, L., Lu, J., & Yip, Y. (2009). An order-clique-based approach for mining maximal co-locations. Information Sciences, 179(19), 3370-3382. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2009.05.023

Most algorithms for mining spatial co-locations adopt an Apriori-like approach to generate size-k prevalence co-locations after size-(k − 1) prevalence co-locations. However, generating and storing the co-locations and table instances is costly. A no... Read More about An order-clique-based approach for mining maximal co-locations.

Neutrons have zero net electrical charge and can thus penetrate
deeply into matter, but their intrinsic magnetic moment makes them highly
sensitive to magnetic fields. These properties have been combined with
radiographic (2D) and tomographic (3D)... Read More about Imaging with polarized neutrons.
