An association rule-based approach for frequent item mining of multi-stage access data by Silong Wu

“…Only one database scan is required, and frequent itemsets are directly generated without generating candidate itemsets, greatly improving the efficiency of the algorithm; Introducing weights into the improved Apriori algorithm and designing a weighted support function, by assigning different weights to different itemsets, more accurately reflects the importance and differences of itemsets in practical applications, thereby improving the accuracy of frequent item mining. …”

Analyse d'une formation plurilingue à distance : actions et interactions by Jean-Jacques Quintin, Monica Masperi

“…Galanet" learning schemes assemble large groups of students (from one to two hundred in general) who are geographically located in different universities and committed to completing common tasks the final objective of which is to create a quadrilingual press file publication online.The present study will be developed along two complementary axes:1. a quantitative analysis of the messages posted on the forum page of the platform for each session.2. a qualitative analysis of sample interventions generated in one of these sessions.On the one hand, the quantitative approach will allow for the highlighting of certain salient features of the e-learning experience as a whole, including how sessions function and their impact on both students and tutors.On the other hand, the qualitative approach will allow to examine and understand more fully the discursive practices elicited by the learning scenario and the plurilinguistic dimension of the forum exchanges.…”

A 3D Most Vulnerable Path Search Method for Physical Protection Systems Based on the EASI Model by Aiguo Li, Yanfeng Deng

“…The search efficiency is improved by restricting the intermediate points and the angle between the start and target points and improving the heuristic function. The improved algorithms are simulated and compared, and the results show that the paths generated by the improved algorithms are more reasonable, and the algorithms consume less time and have shorter path lengths.…”

Mechanical Behavior and Energy Evolution of Sandstone considering Slenderness Ratio Effect by Bibo Dai, Xingdong Zhao, Shuwen Zhang, Qian Kang, Zhonghua Zhu

“…When the slenderness ratio, D, is lower than 1.5, complex failures and multiple shear planes are formed, while simple failures and single shear planes are generated at D larger than 1.5. Besides, the AE ringing counts are more obvious with a higher slenderness ratio, D, at the initial compression stage due to the greater body volume and more defects in the sandstone. …”
