Finding associations in composite data sets: The CFARM algorithm (2011)
Journal Article

In this paper, a composite fuzzy association rule mining mechanism (CFARM), directed at identifying patterns in datasets comprised of composite attributes, is described. Composite attributes are defined as attributes that can take simultaneously two... Read More about Finding associations in composite data sets: The CFARM algorithm.

A hybrid interestingness heuristic approach for attribute-oriented mining (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A hybrid interestingness heuristic algorithm, clusterAOI, is presented that generates a more interesting generalized final table than traditional attribute-oriented induction (AOI). AOI uses a global static threshold to generalize attributes irrespec... Read More about A hybrid interestingness heuristic approach for attribute-oriented mining.

A framework to mine high-level emerging patterns by attribute-oriented induction (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents a framework to mine summary emerging patterns in contrast to the familiar low-level patterns. Generally, growth rate based on low-level data and simple supports are used to measure emerging patterns (EP) from one dataset to anothe...

Some activities of peroxidase from mango (Mangifera indica L. var. Mapulehu) kernel (2011)
Journal Article

Mango (Mangifera indica) belonging to Anacardiaceae family is a tropical fruit-bearing plants of Asian origin which grows well in tropical regions and it is considered as the king of fruits. Peroxidases (E.C.1.11.1.7) (POD) are a group of oxidoreduct... Read More about Some activities of peroxidase from mango (Mangifera indica L. var. Mapulehu) kernel.

Institutional frameworks and radical innovation: an analysis of high- and medium-high-technology industries in Germany (2011)
Journal Article

Radical innovation is increasingly becoming the focus of attention of
both policy makers and senior corporate managers. However, debates within the varieties of capitalism literature on the ease with which radical innovation can be achieved within...

Elucidating Sustainability Sequencing, Tensions, and Trade-Offs in Development Decision Making (2011)
Journal Article

The development process at the site or building scale is a multiobjective process requiring the cooperation of many professions and other stakeholders. The addition of multiple sustainability objectives, often seemingly unrelated (economic versus env...

Kerr nonlinearity in silicon beyond 2.35μm (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We present measurements of χ (3) in silicon in the 2.35 to 2.75μm interval, showing Kerr coefficients close to 1×10 -18 m 2 /W. The results clearly identify silicon as a promising platform for nonlinear processes in the mid-infrared.

Book Chapter

The purpose of this study is to understand a small e-support firm’s response to the local e-readiness and the global e-business environment in a developing context. E-Support firms provide Web development and consultancy services to user organization... Read More about An e-support firm's response to local e-readiness and the global e-business environment.

Resting splint provision: a survey of practice among North-West region rheumatology occupational therapists (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

ABSTRACT BODY:
Background: Resting splints (RS) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are commonly provided by OTs for hand pain and inflammation. Recent trials identify effectiveness in established but not early RA. This prompted the North West (NW) COTSS-... Read More about Resting splint provision: a survey of practice among North-West region rheumatology occupational therapists.
