The clustering task constitutes one of the main machine learning problems. Among many proposed methods, k-means stands out by its simplicity and high applicability. It is notorious that k-means performance is directly related to the centroid estimation from data, which is usually obtained from the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). In previous studies it was proposed an estimator called James-Stein (JS) estimator, being, in average, capable of overcoming MLE for vectors of data with more than 2 dimensions. Also in previous studies it was proposed a variation of k-means applying JS estimator, obtaining improvements due to its better precision when compared to MLE. In this study we propose a variation of the k-means algorithm using the JS estimator.
A tarefa de agrupamento constitui um dos principais problemas de aprendizado de máquina. Dentre os diversos métodos propostos destaca-se o k-médias por sua simplicidade e grande aplicabilidade. É notório que o desempenho do k-médias está relacionado à estimativa dos centroides a partir dos dados e esta, usualmente, é obtida a partir da estimativa de máxima verossimilhança (EMV). Em trabalhos anteriores foi proposto um estimador denominado estimador de James-Stein (JS), sendo este capaz de, em média, superar o EMV para vetores de dados com dimensão maior que 2. Também em trabalhos anteriores foi proposta uma alteração do k-médias aplicando o estimador JS, obtendo melhoras devido à sua maior precisão em relação ao EMV. Neste trabalho propõe-se uma nova variante do algoritmo k-médias utilizando o estimador JS.

Full textThe goal of this work is two-fold. First, we study the complemented copies of co(T) in Banach spaces, where T is an innite cardinal. We extend to the uncountable case a classical result by T. Schulmprecht that characterizes the complemented copies of co in a Banach space X. We use this new characterization to extend results by G. Emmanuele, F. Bombal, D. Leung and F. Räbiger concerning the complemented copies of co in the classical Banach spaces `p(I,X), where p T[1, ∞ ] and I is a non-empty set. We also obtain a new result involving the complemented copies of co(T) in Co(K,X) spaces, where Kis a locally compact Hausdor space. Next, we turn our attention to a vector-valued extension of the classical Banach-Stone theorem obtained by K. Jarosz. Studying several constants introduced by R. James, J. Schäffer, M. Baronti, E. Casini and P. Pappini, we obtain a new relationship between the moduli of convexity of Xand X*, which has independent interest. We then apply this relationship to prove a new X-valued generalization of the Banach-Stone theorem that simultaneously extends the aforementioned result by Jarosz and also shows that this result is, in fact, a consequence of a theorem obtained recently by F. Cidral, E. Galego and M. Rincón-Villamizar.

Full textRussell, Keith. "Kenosis, katharsis, kairosis: a theory of literary affects." Thesis, 1990. http://hdl.handle.net/1959.13/28951.
Full textThis thesis explores theoretical aspects of the affective dimension of literature. Beginning with Aristotle's tying of katharsis to the drama, the pattern of affective relations is completed through the establishing of terms for each of the three broad traditional genres. These relations can be expressed in the ratio: as katharsis is to the genre of the dramatic, so kenosis is to the genre of the lyric, so kairosis is to the genre of the epic. Within each of these affective relations, further relations are determined for the identity structures within each genre. In defining these identity structures, the philosophical, theological, psychological and literary aspects of katharsis, kenosis and kairosis are explored. Of particular use in mapping these identity structures and literary affects were the philosophical theories of Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, Sartre, and Wittgenstein; the theological views of D.G. Dawe, John Macquarrie, Charles Pickstone, and Ernest F. Scott; the psychological theories of C.J. Jung, Jacques Lacan and Julia Kristeva; the literary theories of Mikel Dufrenne, Stanley Fish, Toshihiko and Toyo Izutsu, Hans Robert Jauss, W.R. Johnson, Frank Kermode, William Elford Rogers, and D.T. Suzuki; and the literary works of Homer, Shakespeare, George Herbert, S.T. Coleridge, Charles Baudelaire, Wallace Stevens, and James K. Baxter. Taking up Aristotle's project to grant cognitive value to the experience of art, this thesis argues for the centrality of identity structures within the dimension of the affective. The thesis further determines that literature's affective dimension is the domain within which aesthetic identity is established. Such imaginative identity structures amount to a cultural catalogue of identity possibilities. As the keepers of this catalogue, the three interpretive genres amount to a body of affective knowledge that is its own dimension.

Full textThe prevalence of obesity, insulin resistance, and the metabolic syndrome is increasing among the Cree of Eeyou Istchee (CEI - Northern Quebec). Non-traditional diet and sedentary lifestyle along with cultural disconnect of modern type 2 diabetes (T2D) therapies are involved. In order to establish culturally adapted antidiabetic treatments, our research team conducted an ethnobotanical survey, where 17 plants were identified from the CEI traditional pharmacopoeia. Based on data obtained from in vitro screening studies, two plant species out of 17 were of particular interest for their properties as antiobesity, namely Populus balsamifera L. (Salicaceae), and antidiabetic agents, namely Larix laricina K. Koch (Pinaceae). P. balsamifera and its active salicortin inhibited triglyceride accumulation during adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. L. laricina increased glucose uptake and AMPK activation in C2C12 myotubes, adipogenesis in the 3T3-L1 adipocyte cell line, and was observed as one of the strongest uncouplers, severely disrupting mitochondrial function (increasing fuel consumption/metabolic rate; antiobesity property). The purpose of this PhD thesis is to evaluate the antiobesity and antidiabetic potential of P. balsamifera, salicortin, and L. laricina, in an in vivo model of diet-induced obese (DIO) C57BL/6 mice, as well as to investigate their possible mechanisms of action. Mice were subjected for eight (prevention study) or sixteen weeks (treatment study) to a high fat diet (HFD), or HFD to which P. balsamifera, salicortin, or L. laricina were incorporated either at onset (prevention), or in the last 8 of the 16 weeks of administration of the HFD (treatment). The results showed that P. balsamifera (in either study) and salicortin (incorporated in HFD only in treatment study) decreased the weight of whole vii body, retroperitoneal fat pad, reduced the severity of hepatic macrovesicular steatosis and triglyceride accumulation (ERK pathway implicated). They also decreased glycemia and improved insulin sensitivity by diminishing insulin levels, and altering adipokine secretion whereby reducing the leptin/adiponectin ratio. In both studies, P. balsamifera significantly reduced food intake. This appetite-reducing effect needs to be investigated further. In the prevention study this was accompanied by an increase in energy expenditure (increase in skin temperature and tends to increase expression of uncoupling protein-1; UCP-1). The signaling pathways activated by P. balsamifera and slightly by salicortin are implicated in either controlling hepatic glucose output (Akt), skeletal muscle Glut4 expression, glucose uptake and lipid metabolism in adipose tissue (Akt), adipocyte differentiation (ERK pathway and PPARg), decreasing the hepatic inflammatory state (IKKab), and increasing muscular, hepatic, or adipose tissue fatty acid oxidation (PPARa, CPT-1). As for L. laricina, it effectively decreased glycemia levels, insulin levels and the leptin/adiponectin ratio, improved insulin sensitivity and slightly decreased abdominal fat pad and body weights. This occurred in conjunction with increased energy expenditure as demonstrated by elevated skin temperature in the prevention study, and tendency to improve mitochondrial function and ATP synthesis in the treatment protocol. In conclusion, these results represent a major contribution, identifying P. balsamifera, salicortin, and L. laricina, as promising alternative, and culturally adapted therapies for the prevention and treatment care of obesity and diabetes among the CEI.
