Supervised Non-negative Matrix Factorization for Analysis of Microbiome Data
(2014-08-25)Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is a very useful tool to reduce dimension of data in machine learning and data mining. But it is an unsupervised learning method. To extract more discriminant information in the ... -
Supplementation of Red Seaweed (Chondrus crispus) and Tasco® (Ascophyllum nodosum) in Laying Hen Diets
(2019-12-17)This study evaluated the effect of dietary red seaweed (CC) and brown seaweed (Tasco®) on laying hens. Two commercial strains of hens [Lohmann LSL Lite (LL) and Lohmann Brown Lite (LB)] were assessed for production performance ... -
Supporting Long-term Transactions in Smart Contracts Generated from Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) Models
(2024-02-05)To alleviate difficulties in writing smart contracts for distributed blockchain applications, as other research, we propose transformation of Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) models into blockchain smart contracts. ... -
Supporting Novice Multimedia Authoring with An Interactive Task-Viewer
(2015)Many novice users struggle with multimedia authoring (MMA) tasks. MMA tools often have extensive feature sets and correspondingly complex user interfaces that impede these users’ creative pursuits. My goal was to provide ... -
Supporting the Student Research-paper Writing Process: Activities, Technologies, and Sources
(2011-09-19)Students use a myriad of disparate technologies and information sources to conduct a variety of activities during the research-paper writing process. While this process is considered a complex task, there is no “information ... -
