Pervasive decision support to predict football corners and goals by means of data mining

Football is considered nowadays one of the most popular sports. In the betting world, it has acquired an outstanding position, which moves millions of euros during the period of a single football match. The lack of profitability of football betting users has been stressed as a problem. This lack gave origin to this research proposal, which it is going to analyse the possibility of existing a way to support the users to increase their profits on their bets. Data mining models were induced with the purpose of supporting the gamblers to increase their profits in the medium/long term. Being conscience that the models can fail, the results achieved by four of the seven targets in the models are encouraging and suggest that the system can help to increase the profits. All defined targets have two possible classes to predict, for example, if there are more or less than 7.5 corners in a single game. The data mining models of the targets, more or less than 7.5 corners, 8.5 corners, 1.5 goals and 3.5 goals achieved the pre-defined thresholds. The models were implemented in a prototype, which it is a pervasive decision support system. This system was developed with the purpose to be an interface for any user, both for an expert user as to a user who has no knowledge in football games.

The influence ofvariable amplitude loading on the fatigue strength of rhs corners

Rectangular hollow section (RHS) members are components widely used in engineering applications because of their good-looking, good properties in engineering areas and inexpensive cost comparing to members with other sections. The increasing use of RHS in load bearing structures makes it necessary to analyze the fatigue behavior of the RHS members. In this thesis, concentration will be given to the fatigue behavior of the RHS members under variable amplitude pure torsional loading. For the RHS members, failure will normally occur in the corner region if the welded regions are under full penetration. This is because of the complicated stress components' distributions at the RHScorners, where all of three fracture mechanics modes will happen. Mode I is mainly caused by the residual stresses that caused by the manufacturing process. Modes II and III are caused by the applied torsional loading. Stress based Findleymodel is also used to analyze the stress components. Constant amplitude fatigue tests have been done as well as variable amplitude fatigue tests. The specimens under variable amplitude loading gave longer fatigue lives than those under constant amplitude loading. Results from tests show an S-N curvewith slope around 5.

Template-free and eco-friendly synthesis of hierarchical Ag3PO4 microcrystals with sharp corners and edges for enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light

Herein, we demonstrate a template-free and eco-friendly strategy to synthesize hierarchical Ag3PO4 microcrystals with sharp corners and edges via silver–ammine complex at room temperature. The as-synthesized hierarchical Ag3PO4 microcrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–vis DRS), BET surface area analyzer, and photoluminescence analysis (PL). Our results clearly indicated that the as-synthesized Ag3PO4 microcrystals possess a hierarchical structure with sharp corners and edges. More attractively, the adsorption ability and visible light photocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized hierarchical Ag3PO4 is much higher than that of conventional Ag3PO4.
