An expressive framework and efficient algorithms for the analysis of collaborative tagging

The rise of Web 2.0 is signaled by sites such as Flickr, del.icio.us, and YouTube, and social tagging is essential to their success. A typical tagging action involves three components, user, item (e.g., photos in Flickr), and tags (i.e., words or phrases). Analyzing how tags are assigned by certain users to certain items has important implications in helping users search for desired information. In this paper, we develop a dual mining framework to explore tagging behavior. This framework is centered around two opposing measures, similarity and diversity, applied to one or more tagging components, and therefore enables a wide range of analysis scenarios such as characterizing similar users tagging diverse items with similar tags or diverse users tagging similar items with diverse tags. By adopting different concrete measures for similarity and diversity in the framework, we show that a wide range of concrete analysis problems can be defined and they are NP-Complete in general. We design four sets of efficient algorithms for solving many of those problems and demonstrate, through comprehensive experiments over real data, that our algorithms significantly out-perform the exact brute-force approach without compromising analysis result quality.     

Converter refractories from Satkinsk dolomitic magnesite

Conclusions Satkinsk dolomitic magnesite fired in a rotary kiln using a cycle employed for Styl'sk dolomite can be used to obtain sintered powder with an apparent density 3.15 g/cm³.Compared with the currently produced tarred dolomite-magnesite refractories, the tar-bonded converter refractories made on the basis of powder produced from dolomitic magnesite are characterized by higher densities, strength, and resistance to hydration.Thus, Satkinsk dolomitic magnesite which is hardly used at the present time is a promising raw material for producing converter refractories.Translated from Ogneupory, No. 8, pp. 15–20, August, 1971.     

Phase separation in polymer blends comprising copolymers: 6. Effect of molecular architecture of block copolymers

To study the effect of the molecular architecture of a copolymer on its miscibility with corresponding homopolymers a series of block copolymers of styrene and isoprene with diblock, triblock and four-arm star architectures have been prepared and the morphologies of the blends of the copolymers and polyisoprene with different molecular weights have been examined by electron microscopy. The results show that miscibility varies in the sequence diblock>triblock>four-arm star copolymers. This sequence is in the opposite direction to the variation of the architectural complexity of the block copolymers, i.e. the more complex is molecular architecture, the greater is conformation restriction in microdomain formation and the less is solubility of homopolymer in corresponding domains.     

Study of different effect on foaming process of biodegradable bionolle in supercritical carbon dioxide

Microcellular foaming of biodegradable Bionolle in supercritical CO₂ has been produced. The effects of a series of variable factors, such as saturation temperature, saturation pressure, and depressurization time and step on the foam structures and density, were studied through measurement of density and SEM observation. The experimental results show that higher saturation temperatures lead to an increase in bulk densities; and different depressurization time and step result in different product cell morphology. In addition, at some saturation temperature, the orientation of the cells can be found in the product morphology. XRD experimental results show that the foaming treatment with SC CO₂ increased the crystallinity of Bionolle. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 100: 2901–2906, 2006     

Isolation and characterization of ganglioside 9-O-acetyl-GD3 from bovine buttermilk

Bovine buttermilk contains a unique ganglioside, 9-O-acetyl-GD₃. In order to isolate large quantities of this ganglioside, a simplified isolation scheme which consists of several ion-exchange and silica gel column chromatographic procedures was devised. The isolated 9-O-acetyl-GD₃ was characterized on the basis of its thin-layer chromatographic behavior, its immunoreactivity with a specific monoclonal antibody, JONES, and by conversion to authentic GD₃ by mild base treatment.

DTN中基于服务等级的Push-Pull拥塞控制研究*

提出了一种基于服务等级的拥塞控制机制,通过为后续高优先级业务预留缓存资源的方法来减小容迟网络(DTN)中由于保管传输协议造成节点缓存资源的耗尽而引起的网络拥塞,从而改善服务质量。仿真结果表明,该拥塞控制方法在缓解网络拥塞的同时可以有效改善高优先级业务的传输性能,但其在一定程度上牺牲了低优先级业务的服务质量。
