Objectives: The objective of the study was to examine the clustering patterns and correlates of multiple health behaviors (MHBs) in middle-aged Koreans with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods: Data on sociodemographics, clinical characteristics, health behaviors (vegetable intake, physical activity, cigarette smoking, and alcohol consumption), and psychological characteristics were collected by a self-reported survey and medical examination from 331 individuals with MetS. Clustering of MHBs was examined by measuring 1) the ratios of observed and expected prevalence of MHBs, and 2) the prevalence odds ratios. A binomial logistic regression were conducted. Results: Men were more likely than women to engage in multiple unhealthy behaviors. Clustering of smoking and heavy drinking was exhibited in the participants. Women with high vegetable intake were more likely to be physically inactive, and those with inadequate vegetable intake were more likely to be physically active. Those with lower self-regulation were more likely to engage in unhealthy behaviors. Conclusions: The findings support the multiple health behavior approach as opposed to the individual health behavior approach. Emphasis of self-regulation is necessary in developing multiple behavior intervention for individuals with MetS.

다중 서열 정렬(multiple sequence alignment, MSA)은 단백질과 핵산 서열들의 분석에 필요한 가장 중요한 도구이다. 생물학적인 서열들은 그들 사이의 유사성과 차이점을 보여주기 위하여 각각의 서열들을 수직적으로 정렬한다. 본 논문에서는 클러스터링 분기를 이용하여 두 그룹의 서열들 사이에서 정렬을 수행하는 효율적인 그룹 정렬 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘(Multiple Sequence Alignment using Clustering Divergence : CDMS)은 하향식 발견 방법인 트리 형태의 병합을 위해 클러스터링 방법으로 구축하였다. 클러스터링 방법은 가장 긴 거리를 가지는 서열을 두 개의 클러스터로 나눌 수 있다는 것에 기초하였다. 제안한 새로운 서열 정렬 알고리즘은 기존의 Clustal W알고리즘 보다 질적 향상과 처리 시간 단축 O($n^{3} L^{2}$)이 기대된다.

This paper studies the task of embedding nodes with multiple graphs representing multiple information channels, which is useful in a large volume of network clustering tasks. By learning a node using multiple graphs, various characteristics of the node can be represented and embedded stably. Existing studies using multi-channel networks have been conducted by integrating heterogeneous graphs or limiting common nodes appearing in multiple graphs to have similar embeddings. Although these methods effectively represent nodes, it also has limitations by assuming that all networks provide the same amount of information. This paper proposes a method to overcome these limitations; The proposed method gives different weights according to the source graph when embedding nodes; the characteristics of the graph with more important information can be reflected more in the node. To this end, a novel method incorporating a multi-channel gate layer is proposed to weigh more important channels and ignore unnecessary data to embed a node with multiple graphs. Empirical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed multi-channel-based embedding methods.

The conventional clustering approaches are mostly based on minimizing total dissimilarity of input and output. However, the clustering approach may not be helpful in some cases of clustering decision making units (DMUs) with production feature converting multiple inputs into multiple outputs because it does not care converting functions. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been widely applied for efficiency estimation of such DMUs since it has non-parametric characteristics. We propose a new clustering method to identify groups of DMUs that are similar in terms of their input-output profiles. A real world example is given to explain the use and effectiveness of the proposed method. And we calculate similarity value between its result and the result of a conventional clustering method applied to the example. After the efficiency value was added to input of K-means algorithm, we calculate new similarity value and compare it with the previous one.

We have already proposed an extended fuzzy clustering algorithm which considers the importance of the data to be classified in a previous paper. In this paper, we suggest the extended fuzzy clustering algorithm based new method to slove a multiple peak detection problem, and prove experimently that this algorithm can detect the multiple peak adaptively to the noise and the shape of peaks.

Multiple sequence alignment is a method to compare two or more DNA or protein sequences. Most of multiple sequence alignment tools rely on pairwise alignment and Smith-Waterman algorithm to generate an alignment hierarchy. Therefore, in the existing multiple alignment method as the number of sequences increases, the runtime increases exponentially. In order to remedy this problem, we adopted a parallel processing suffix tree algorithm that is able to search for common subsequences at one time without pairwise alignment. Also, the cross-matching subsequences triggering inexact-matching among the searched common subsequences might be produced. So, the cross-matching masking process was suggested in this paper. To identify the function of the clusters generated by suffix tree clustering, BLAST and CDD (Conserved Domain Database)search were combined with a clustering tool. Our clustering and annotating tool consists of constructing suffix tree, overlapping common subsequences, clustering gene sequences and annotating gene clusters by BLAST and CDD search. The system was successfully evaluated with 36 gene sequences in the pentose phosphate pathway, clustering 10 clusters, finding out representative common subsequences, and finally identifying functional domains by searching CDD database.

Since the variations of illumination, the irregular changes of human shapes, and the partial occlusions, multiple person tracking is a challenging work in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a graph clustering method based on spatio-temporal information of moving objects for multiple person tracking. First, the part-based model is utilized to localize individual foreground regions in each frame. Then, we heuristically leverage the spatio-temporal constraints to generate a set of reliable tracklets. Finally, the graph shift method is applied to handle tracklet association problem and consequently generate the completed trajectory for individual object. The extensive comparison experiments demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.

Multiple correspondence analysis graphically shows the correspondent relationship among categories in multi-way contingency tables. It is well known that the proportions of the principal inertias as part of the total inertia is low in multiple correspondence analysis. Moreover, although this problem can be overcome by using the Benzecri formula, it is not enough to show clear correspondent relationship among categories (Greenacre and Blasius, 1994, Chapter 10). In addition, they show that Andrews' plot is useful in providing the correspondent relationship among categories. However, this method also does not give some concise interpretation among categories when the number of categories is large. Therefore, in this study, we will easily interpret the multiple correspondence analysis by applying the K-means clustering analysis.

A set of clustering algorithms with proper weight on the formulation of distance which extend to mixed numeric and multiple binary values is presented. A simple matching and Jaccard coefficients are used to measure similarity between objects for multiple binary attributes. Similarities are converted to dissimilarities between i th and j th objects. The performance of clustering algorithms with balancing weight on different similarity measures is demonstrated. Our experiments show that clustering algorithms with application of proper weight give competitive recovery level when a set of data with mixed numeric and multiple binary attributes is clustered.

The rotation-based transformation (RBT) for privacy preserving data mining is vulnerable to the independent component analysis (ICA) attack. This paper introduces a modified multiple-rotation-based transformation technique for special mining applications, mitigating the ICA attack while maintaining the advantages of the RBT.
