Towards Distributed Convoy Pattern Mining
Mining movement data to reveal interesting behavioral patterns has gained
attention in recent years. One such pattern is the convoy pattern which
consists of at least m objects moving together for at least k consecutive time
instants where m and k are user-defined parameters. Existing algorithms for
detecting convoy patterns, however do not scale to real-life dataset sizes.
Therefore a distributed algorithm for convoy mining is inevitable. In this
paper, we discuss the problem of convoy mining and analyze different data
partitioning strategies to pave the way for a generic distributed convoy
pattern mining algorithm.Comment: SIGSPATIAL'15 November 03-06, 2015, Bellevue, WA, US
Semiclassical Corrections to the Cardy-Verlinde Formula of Kerr Black Holes
In this letter, we compute the corrections to the Cardy-Verlinde formula of
dimensional Kerr black hole. These corrections are considered within the
context of KKW analysis and arise as a result of the self-gravitational effect.
Then we show, one can taking into account the semiclassical corrections of the
Cardy-Verlinde entropy formula by just redefining the Virasoro operator
and the central charge .Comment: 8 page
Relation between Kitaev magnetism and structure in -RuCl
Raman scattering has been employed to investigate lattice and magnetic
excitations of the honeycomb Kitaev material -RuCl and its
Heisenberg counterpart CrCl. Our phonon Raman spectra give evidence for a
first-order structural transition from a monoclinic to a rhombohedral structure
for both compounds. Significantly, only -RuCl features a large
thermal hysteresis, consistent with the formation of a wide phase of
coexistence. In the related temperature interval of K, we observe a
hysteretic behavior of magnetic excitations as well. The stronger magnetic
response in the rhombohedral compared to the monoclinic phase evidences a
coupling between the crystallographic structure and low-energy magnetic
response. Our results demonstrate that the Kitaev magnetism concomitant with
fractionalized excitations is susceptible to small variations of bonding
geometry.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures, To appear in PR
Structure And Properties of Nanoparticles Formed under Conditions of Wire Electrical Explosion
Structure and properties of nanoparticles formed under conditions of wire
electrical explosion were studied. It was shown that the state of WEE power
particles can be characterized as a metastable state. It leads to an increased
stability of nanopowders at normal temperatures and an increased reactivity
during heating, which is revealed in the form of threshold phenomena.Comment: Submitted on behalf of TIMA Editions

Non-Classical Response from Quench-Cooled Solid Helium Confined in Porous Gold
We have investigated the non-classical response of solid 4He confined in
porous gold set to torsional oscillation. When solid helium is grown rapidly,
nearly 7% of the solid helium appears to be decoupled from the oscillation
below about 200 mK. Dissipation appears at temperatures where the decoupling
shows maximum variation. In contrast, the decoupling is substantially reduced
in slowly grown solid helium. The dynamic response of solid helium was also
studied by imposing a sudden increase in the amplitude of oscillation. Extended
relaxation in the resonant period shift, suggesting the emergence of the
pinning of low energy excitations, was observed below the onset temperature of
the non-classical response. The motion of a dislocation or a glassy solid is
restricted in the entangled narrow pores and is not likely responsible for the
period shift and long relaxation
