Community Detection and Growth Potential Prediction from Patent Citation Networks

The scoring of patents is useful for technology management analysis. Therefore, a necessity of developing citation network clustering and prediction of future citations for practical patent scoring arises. In this paper, we propose a community detection method using the Node2vec. And in order to analyze growth potential we compare three ''time series analysis methods'', the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), ARIMA model, and Hawkes Process. The results of our experiments, we could find common technical points from those clusters by Node2vec. Furthermore, we found that the prediction accuracy of the ARIMA model was higher than that of other models.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1607.00653 by other author

Visualizing Shooting Spots using Geo-tagged Photographs from Social Media Sites

Hotspots, at which many photographs have been taken, might be interesting places for many people to do sightseeing. Visualization of hotspots reveals user interests, which is important for industries such as tourism and marketing research. Although several social-based techniques for extracting hotspots independently have been proposed, a hotspot has a relation to other hotspots in some cases. To organize those hotspots, we propose a method to detect and visualize relations among hotspots. Our proposed method detects and assesses relations of shooting spots and photographic subjects. Our approach extracts the relations using sub-hotspots, which are split from a hotspot that includes photographs of different types. We demonstrate our approach by discovering relations using photographic metadata such as tags, photograph orientation, and photograph locations from Flickr.Meilleur Article Applicatif d\u27EGC\u27201

Genetic association of the functional CDHR3 genotype with early-onset adult asthma in Japanese populations

BackgroundRecent studies have demonstrated that a coding SNP (rs6967330, Cys529→Tyr) in cadherin-related family member 3 (CDHR3), which was previously associated with wheezing illness and hospitalizations in infancy, could support efficient human rhinovirus C (RV-C) entry and replication. Here, we sought to examine the genetic contribution of this variant to the development of adult asthma.MethodsWe performed a candidate gene case–control association study of 2 independent Japanese populations (a total of 3366 adults). The odds ratios (ORs) for association of the A allele at rs6967330 with adult asthma were calculated according to age at onset of asthma. In addition, the effect of the CDHR3 genotype on the development of specific asthma phenotypes was examined.ResultsThe A allele was associated with asthma (OR = 1.56; Mantel–Haenszel p = 0.0040) when the analysis was limited to patients with early-onset adult asthma. In addition, when the analysis was limited to atopic individuals, a stronger association of the CDHR3 variant with early-onset asthma was found, and interaction of the CDHR3 genotype with atopy was demonstrated. Finally, a significant association of this variant was specifically found with a phenotype of asthma characterized by atopy, early-onset, and lower lung function.ConclusionsOur study supports the concept that the CDHR3 variant is an important susceptibility factor for severe adult asthma in individuals who develop the disease in early life. The interaction between the CDHR3 variant and atopy indicates that genetic predisposition to early respiratory viral infection is combined with atopy in promoting asthma

Role of Lung Function Genes in the Development of Asthma

Although our previous GWAS failed to identify SNPs associated with pulmonary function at the level of genomewide significance, it did show that the heritability for FEV1/FVC was 41.6% in a Japanese population, suggesting that the heritability of pulmonary function traits can be explained by the additive effects of multiple common SNPs. In addition, our previous study indicated that pulmonary function genes identified in previous GWASs in non-Japanese populations accounted for 4.3% to 12.0% of the entire estimated heritability of FEV1/FVC in a Japanese population. Therefore, given that many loci with individual weak effects may contribute to asthma risk, in this study, we created a quantitative score of genetic load based on 16 SNPs implicated in lower lung function in both Japanese and non-Japanese populations. This genetic risk score (GRS) for lower FEV1/FVC was consistently associated with the onset of asthma (P = 9.6 × 10−4) in 2 independent Japanese populations as well as with the onset of COPD (P = 0.042). Clustering of asthma patients based on GRS levels indicated that an increased GRS may be responsible for the development of a particular phenotype of asthma characterized by early onset, atopy, and severer airflow obstruction

THE MICROWAVE SPECTRUM OF DICHLOROSILYLENE SiCl2SiCl_{2} EXCITED VIBRATIONAL STATES

1. M. Tanimoto, H. Takeo, C. Matsumura, M. Fujitake, and E. Hirota, J. Chem. Phys. 91, 2102 (1989).Author Institution: Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Kanazawa Unviersity; Department of Physics, The Graduate University for Advanced StudiesThe microwave spectrum of dichlorosilylene in excited vibrational states has been measured in the millimeter-and submillimeter-wave regions, Rotational and centrifugal distortion constatnts were determined for the $\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}, 2\nu_{2}$, and $\nu_{3}$ excited states of the $Si_{25}Cl_{2}$ isotopic species and for the $\nu_{2}$ and $2\nu_{2}$ state of $Si^{35}Cl^{37}Cl$. Analysis of the Coriolis resonance between the $\nu_{1}$ and $\nu_{3}$ states of $Si^{35}Cl_{2}$ yielded values of the {D} Coriolis interaction constant with {F} constrained and of two higher-order terms and also an accurate value [$5,402338(95) cm^{-1}$] of the energy difference between the two excited vibrational states. The rotational constants of $Si^{35}Cl_{2}$ in the first excited states of the three normal vibrations were combined with those of the ground vibrational state reported in a previous $paper^{1}$ to obtain the equilibrium structure, harmonic and cubic/third-order anharmonic potential constants

THE MICROWAVE SPECTRUM OF THE LiO RADICAL

$^{1}$ S. M. Freund, E. Herbst, R. P. Mariella, Jr., and W. Klemperer, J. Chem. Phys. 56, 1467 (1972)Author Institution: Institute for Molecular ScienceThe rotational spectra of the $^{7}LiO$ radical in the $v=0$ and $v=1$ vibrational states were observed in millimeter and submillimeter wave region. The LiO radical was generated by the reaction of lithium vapor with $N_{2}O$ in a heat pipe cell. The rotational and centrifugal distortion constants, -type doubling constants, spin-orbit interaction constant, and hyperfine interaction constants were derived through analysis of the rotational spectra observed in the present study, combined with the radio-frequency spectra of -type transitions reported by S. M. Freund $et al.^{1}$ The LiO radical was confirmed to have a $^{2}\Pi_{i}$ ground electronic state with an exceptionally large -type doubling constant, as in the case of NaO. A pure precession hypothesis applied to the observed ``p'' constant gives the $\Sigma-\Pi$ energy separation to be $2565 cm^{-1}$

DETECTION OF THE NaO RADICAL BY MICROWAVE SPECTROSCOPY

Author Institution: Institute for Molecular ScienceThe rotational spectra of the NaO radical in the four lowest vibrational states were observed in millimeter and sub-millimeter wave region. The NaO radical was generated by the reaction of sodium vapor with $N_{2}O$ in a heat pipe cell. Analysis of the observed spectra yielded the rotational and centrifugal distortion constants, $\Lambda$-type doubling constants, spin-orbit interaction constant, and hyperfine interaction constants in the four vibrational states. The NaO radical is clearly shown to have a $^{2}\pi_{i}$ ground electronic state with an anomalously large $\Lambda$-type doubling constant and very small hyperfine interaction constants. The molecular constants derived will be discussed in terms of the ionic character of the bond
