Awards for distinguished professional contributions: Robert B. McCall.

Presents the citation, biography, and selected bibliography for Robert B. McCall, one of the 1994 recipients of the American Psychological Association's Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions--Distinguished Professional Contributions to Public Service. From McCall's citation: "Building on a prolific research career in child development, Robert B. McCall communicated the scientific findings of his colleagues to the public through the mass media, winning four national awards and demonstrating to a sometimes skeptical profession that such articles and TV programs could be both accurate and interesting. Subsequently, he became the inaugural director for the University of Pittsburgh Office of Child Development, a unique interdisciplinary, university-community facilitative unit that has broadened the definition of university public service to embrace partnerships among faculty and community service professionals, funders, and policymakers that have created innovative interdisciplinary training and research programs, human service demonstration and evaluation projects, and policy studies."

Database Encoding and A New Algorithm for Association Rules Mining

This paper proposes a method to encode database. By this way, a record is denoted by only one binary number, so the size of the database is reduced sharply. If some known modified algorithms are used on the database encoded, the efficiency will be improved significantly. At the meantime, a new algorithm based on the proposed encoding method is introduced too. By using some properties of numbers, the itemsets of the database can be converted into numerical fields. Different from the Apriori, the new algorithm discovers the association rules from the largest frequent itemset at first, and then all subitemsets, which are also frequent, will be gotten without any calculation, and all the other small none-frequent itemsets that must be generated in the Apriori will be omitted, and the scan times of the database are also reduced. Test results show the new algorithm based on the encoding database has a lower complexity of time and space.
