A Novel Approach for Mining Big Data Using Multi-Model Fusion Mechanism (MMFM)
Big data processing and analytics require sophisticated systems and cutting-edge methodologies to extract useful data from the available data. Extracted data visualization is challenging because of the processing models' dependence on semantics and classification. To categorize and improve information-based semantics that have accumulated over time, this paper introduces the Multi-model fusion mechanism for data mining (MMFM) approach. Information dependencies are organized based on the links between the data model based on attribute values. This method divides the attributes under consideration based on processing time to handle complicated data in controlled amount of time. The proposed MMFM’s performance is assessed with real-time weather prediction dataset where the data is acquired from sensor (observed) and image data. MMFM is used to conduct semantic analytics and similarity-based classification on this collection. The processing time based on records and samples are investigated for the various data sizes, instances, and entries. It is found that the proposed MMFM gets 70 seconds of processing time for 2GB data and 0.99 seconds while handling 5000 records for various classification instances
What is the Hidden Depolarization Mechanism in Low Luminosity AGN?
Millimeter wavelength polarimetry of accreting black hole systems can provide
a tomographic probe of the accretion flow on a wide range of linear scales. We
searched for linear polarization in two low luminosity active galactic nuclei
(LLAGN), M81 and M84, using the Combined Array for Millimeter Astronomy (CARMA)
and the Submillimeter Array (SMA). We find upper limits of
averaging over the full bandwidth and with a rotation measure (RM) synthesis
technique. These low polarization fractions, along with similar low values for
LLAGN M87 and 3C84, suggest that LLAGN have qualitatively different
polarization properties than radio-loud sources and Sgr A*. If the sources are
intrinsically polarized and then depolarized by Faraday rotation then we place
lower limits on the RM of a few times for the full
bandwidth case and for the RM synthesis
analysis. These limits are inconsistent with or marginally consistent with
expected accretion flow properties. Alternatively, the sources may be
depolarized by cold electrons within a few Schwarzschild radii from the black
hole, as suggested by numerical models.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ
Ab Initio Green-Kubo Approach for the Thermal Conductivity of Solids
We herein present a first-principles formulation of the Green-Kubo method that allows the accurate assessment of the non-radiative thermal conductivity of solid semiconductors and insulators in equilibrium ab initio molecular dynamics calculations. Using the virial for the nuclei, we propose a unique ab initio definition of the heat flux. Accurate size- and time convergence are achieved within moderate computational effort by a robust, symptotically exact extrapolation scheme. We demonstrate the capabilities of the technique by investigating the thermal conductivity of extreme high and low heat conducting materials, namely diamond Si and tetragonal ZrO2
A Study on Prevalence and Risk Factors of Diabetic Nephropathy in Newly Detected Type 2 Diabetic Patients
New Perspective on Formation Energies and Energy Levels of Point Defects in Nonmetals
We propose a powerful scheme to accurately determine the formation energy and thermodynamic charge transition levels of point defects in nonmetals. Previously unknown correlations between defect properties and the valence-band width of the defect-free host material are identified allowing for a determination of the former via an accurate knowledge of the latter. These correlations are identified through a series of hybrid density-functional theory computations and an unbiased exploration of the parameter space that defines the Hyde-Scuseria-Ernzerhof family of hybrid functionals. The applicability of this paradigm is demonstrated for point defects in Si, Ge, ZnO, and ZrO2
Ab initio calculation of the CdSe/CdTe heterojunction band offset using the local-density approximation-1/2 technique with spin-orbit corrections
We performed ab initio calculations of the electronic structures of bulk CdSe and CdTe and of their interface. We employed the local-density approximation-1/2 self-energy correction scheme [L. G. Ferreira, M. Marques, and L. K. Teles, Phys. Rev. B 78, 125116 (2008)] to obtain improved band gaps and band offsets, as well as spin-orbit coupling to further correct the valence band edges. Our results are in good agreement with experimental values for bulk band gaps and reproduce the staggered band alignment characteristic of this system. We found that the spin-orbit effect is of considerable importance for the bulk band gaps, but has little impact on the band offset of this particular system. Moreover, the electronic structure calculated along the 61.4 Å transition region across the CdSe/CdTe interface shows a non-monotonic variation of the bandgap in the range 0.8-1.8 eV. This finding may have important implications to the absorption of light along the interface between these two materials in photovoltaic applications1117FUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - FAPESP2006/05858-
