Abstract: An experiment was performed with a 24.5 MeV 14N
beam on a 12C target in the cyclotron DC-60 located in Astana,
Kazakhstan, to study the elastic scattering of 14N on 12C; the
scattering was also analyzed at different energies for tracking the
phenomenon of remarkable structure at large angles. Its aims were to
extend the measurements to very large angles, and attempt to
uniquely identify the elastic scattering potential. Good agreement
between the theoretical and experimental data has been obtained with
suitable optical potential parameters. Optical model calculations with
l -dependent imaginary potentials were also applied to the data and
relatively good agreement was found.
Abstract: Data mining incorporates a group of statistical
methods used to analyze a set of information, or a data set. It operates
with models and algorithms, which are powerful tools with the great
potential. They can help people to understand the patterns in certain
chunk of information so it is obvious that the data mining tools have
a wide area of applications. For example in the theoretical chemistry
data mining tools can be used to predict moleculeproperties or
improve computer-assisted drug design. Classification analysis is one
of the major data mining methodologies. The aim of thecontribution
is to create a classification model, which would be able to deal with a
huge data set with high accuracy. For this purpose logistic regression,
Bayesian logistic regression and random forest models were built
using R software. TheBayesian logistic regression in Latent GOLD
software was created as well. These classification methods belong to
supervised learning methods.
It was necessary to reduce data matrix dimension before construct
models and thus the factor analysis (FA) was used. Those models
were applied to predict the biological activity of molecules, potential
new drug candidates.
Abstract: Online auctions are not very popular in Croatia. The
main reason for this is a very limited number of services which can
be used by Croatian users. Until recent times, even selling through
the most popular online auction site eBay wasn't possible because
PayPal services could not make payment to bank or debit card
accounts in Croatia. Furthermore, many foreign sellers do not offer
delivery of their products to Croatia which means that large
quantities of goods initially offered on such sites are not available.
With that in mind, it is necessary to analyze the buying and selling
habits of Croatian users and existing online auction sites, both
Croatian and foreign, and create a model for new domestic site. This
site will have to exploit every positive aspect of existing models and
neutralize every negative perception indicated by users in the survey
so that, hopefully, it would attract new users.
