Web Usage mining is a technique used to identify the user needs from the web log. Discovering hidden patterns from the logs is an upcoming research area. Association rules play an important role in many web mining applications to detect interesting patterns. However, it generates enormous rules that cause researchers to spend ample time and expertise to discover the really interesting ones. This paper works on the server logs from the MSNBC dataset for the month of September 1999. This research aims at predicting the probable subsequent page in the usage of web pages listed in this data based on their navigating behaviour by using Apriori prefix tree (PT) algorithm. The generated rules were ranked based on the support, confidence and lift evaluation measures. The final predictions revealed that the interestingness of pages mainly depended on the support and lift measure whereas confidence assumed a uniform value among all the pages. It proved that the system guaranteed 100% confidence with the support of 1.3E−05. It revealed that the pages such as Front page, On-air, News, Sports and BBS attracted more interested subsequent users compared to Travel, MSN-News and MSN-Sports which were of less interest.
The instability of magnetosonic waves driven by α particle beams and propagating along the magnetic field of the plasma consisting of electrons, protons, and α particles with anisotropic temperatures has been analyzed. The electromagnetic dispersion relation with k⊥ = 0 has been solved numerically for typical solar wind conditions. The growth rate was found to occur near the helium cyclotron frequency.
Ion and electron heating in the earth's bow shock region is studied in terms of the modified two stream instability by treating the electron's response to be electromagnetic and that of ions to be electrostatic. The modified two stream flute mode, driven unstable by the density and temperature gradients, can heat the ions to about 50 times their upstream temperature. However, the electrons are heated mainly by the non-flute mode and their temperature can be increased by a factor of 1·5 or more. Consequently the ions will be hotter than the electrons downstream of the shock, as observed by satellites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
