When they are applied to a semi-structured document or to a document with an overly complex model, the lack or the ignorance of the explicit document model (DTD—Document Type Definition, Schema, etc.) increases the risk of obtaining an empty result set when the query is too specific, or, too large result set when it is too vague (e.g. it contains wildcards such as “*”). The reason is that in both cases, users write queries according to the document model they have in mind;this can be very far from the one that can actually be extracted from the document. Opposed to exact queries, preference queries are more flexible and can be relaxed to expand the search space during their evaluations. Indeed, during their evaluation, certain constraints (the preferences they contain) can be relaxed if necessary to avoid precisely empty results;moreover, the returned answers can be filtered to retain only the best ones. This paper presents an algorithm for evaluating such queries inspired by the TreeMatch algorithm proposed by Yao et al. for exact queries. In the proposed algorithm, the best answers are obtained by using an adaptation of the Skyline operator (defined in relational databases) in the context of documents (trees) to incrementally filter into the partial solutions set, those which satisfy the maximum of preferential constraints. The only restriction imposed on documents is No-Self-Containment.展开更多

It firstly stored transactions in a lexicographic order tree and then restructured the tree by sorting each path in a frequency-descending order. While updating the improved pattern tree, there was no need to rescan the entire new database or reconstruct a new tree for incremental updating. A test was performed on synthetic dataset T1014D100K with 100 000 transactions and 870 items. Experimental results show that the smaller the minimum sup- port threshold, the faster the improved pattern tree achieves over CanTree for all datasets. As the minimum support threshold increased from 2% to 3.5%, the runtime decreased from 452.71 s to 186.26 s. Meanwhile, the runtime re- quired by CanTree decreased from 1 367.03 s to 432.19 s. When the database was updated, the execution time of im- proved pattern tree consisted of construction of original improved pattern trees and reconstruction of initial tree. The experiment results showed that the runtime was saved by about 15% compared with that of CanTree. As the number of transactions increased, the runtime of improved pattern tree was about 25% shorter than that of FP-tree. The improved pattern tree also required less memory than CanTree.展开更多

Traditionally diagnostics of insulation is carried out by means of partial discharge detection. However, such identification of a defect, for example, void, inclusion or treeing, does not say about its danger from a point of view of full insulation gap breakdown and insulation construction failure. For this purpose a 29 kV CN-CV cable sample is studied. The experiment is based on research for determination of the dependencies between PD characteristics in XLPE upon time and three dimension PD patterns of corresponding treeing. The investigations were carried out by means of electrical measurement of PD current and simultaneous optical recording of treeing image. The needleplane electrode is applied as the electrode. As a result, -q-n PD patterns which are used as the bases to bush tree initialization and growth can be obtained. Test results show that PD pattern recognition can be applied as a powerful tool for recognizing electrical tree initialization and growth. This can make a good basis for on-line condition monitoring of high voltage power cable.展开更多

To tackle this problem, the concept of condensed frequent subtree base is proposed. The base consists of the maximal frequent subtrees for a series of support thresholds. It is a subset of frequent subtrees, and is used to approximate the support of arbitrary frequent subtrees with guaranteed maximal error bound. In addition, an algorithm is developed to mine such a condensed subtree base in a database of labeled rooted ordered trees. The algorithm adopts the way of fight-most extension to generate systematically all frequent rooted ordered subtrees. Several techniques are proposed to prune the branches that do not correspond to the maximal frequent subtrees. Heuristic techniques are used to arrange the order of computation so that relatively expensive computation is avoided as much as possible. Experimental results show that the size of the base is less than 10% of that of the complete set, and the algorithm outperforms the previous algorithms.展开更多

Besides, the unplanned pregnancy also affects the other members in the family system. Therefore, when married women have to face the choice: “birth” or “abortion”, they’ll consider lots of thoughts and different decision criteria and decision pattern under various influences on physician, mind, mental and society. The purpose of this study was to investigate the criteria considered and the decision patterns involved when adult married women decide whether to terminate or continue an unplanned pregnancy. Methods: The study uses the method—“Ethnographic Decision Tree Modeling” [1] to build model of the decision criteria and decision patterns involved when adult married women make a decision about their unplanned pregnancy. There are three process in the research method: “Pilot Study”—interview two groups, every group distinct 4 married adult women with unplanned pregnancies, which decide whether to terminate or continue an unplanned pregnancy, what is the items of decision characters affect to the choice: “birth” or “abortion”. “Building of the Model”, displays the importance in proper order of those items and build the modeling with these two groups of women. “Testing of the Model”: investigate the criteria considered and the decision patterns involved when adult married women decide whether to terminate or continue an unplanned pregnancy. The study interviewed 34 married adult women with 43 unplanned pregnancies totally. Results: The result of the study finds out 12 items of decision characters, including planning to get pregnant or not, stability of feelings for married partner, the points of view on life, was affected by mother, mother-in-law, an husband’s emphasis on male, the meanings of children, the financial burden, the plan an assignment of career and time, the past pregnant experiences, the status of raising children, the health of parents and fetus, the effect of living environment, and social and cultural vision. Besides, there are four decision patterns of married adult women with unplanned pregnancy are “receiving abortion positively”;“giving birth as long as getting pregnancy naturally”;“ the minds are hesitative and changeable”, and “being forced by important others.” Conclusion: By setting the decision model tree, we found several decision criteria and patterns, and possible modes actions to be taken, could offer to see the adult married women’s decision-making and struggles in mind about unplanned pregnancy.展开更多
