This study defines a new approach for building a Web Services based infrastructure for distributed data mining applications. The proposed architecture provides a roadmap for "autonomic" functionality of the infrastructure hiding the...
Within the Appalachian hills of eastern Kentucky, large-scale coal mining operations are directly altering the headwater landscape through the construction of hollow fills. These man-made landforms and their associated in-stream structures alter a...

The purpose of this paper is to examine the process of text mining and using the results to show the possible benefits of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. The 555 patients enrolled in the study were receiving inpatient cardiopulmonary...
Data mining; Lungs--Cancer; Outcome assessment (Medical care)
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States and the world, with more than 1.3 million deaths worldwide per year. However, because of a lack of effective tools to diagnose Lung Cancer, more than half of all cases are...
Bioinformatics; Breast--Cancer--Treatment; Medical care--Data processing
Statistical models have been the first choice for comparative effectiveness in clinical research. Though effective, these models are limited when the data to be analyzed do not fit the assumed distributions; which is mostly the case when the study...
Swarm Intelligence (SI) techniques were inspired by bee swarms, ant colonies, and most
recently, bird flocks. Flock-based Swarm Intelligence (FSI) has several unique features, namely
decentralized control, collaborative learning, high exploration...
With the increasing computational power and the decreasing cost of high bandwidth networks resulted in Distibuted Systems. Distributed Data Mining is being used to analyze and monitor data in distributed systems. In the past, distributed...
The purpose of this dissertation is to find ways to decrease Medicare costs and to study health outcomes of diabetes patients as well as to investigate the influence of Medicare, part D since its introduction in 2006 using the CMS CCW (Chronic...
Online organizations are always in search for innovative marketing strategies to better satisfy their current website users and lure new ones. Thus, recently, many organizations have started to retain all transactions taking place on their website,...
Brief Overview of the Problem: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a government funded agency, provides both legislative and judicial powers for emissions monitoring in the United States. The agency crafts laws based on self-made regulations...

Peer-to-peer networks have been growing in popularity over the past decade. There have been many new innovations that greatly improve access to a wide variety of content. This expanded capability combined with a strong sense of anonymity has given...
A mining tipple coming down the mountainside connects to a platform with a cart that can be filled and then rolled to the other end of the platform and dumped into a train car. A man stands on the platform with the cart, and railroad tracks are in...
Buildings; Educational facilities; Universities & colleges; University of Kentucky--Buildings
Mining and Engineering Building at University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky, 1924. Blocky two-story brick building with slightly slanted roof, pillared entryway, and white bar details above the windows.
Tracks run down the center of a small town. The town is situated at the base of the snow-covered mountains in the distance. Telephone poles line the street.
