The proposed method defines user sessions as a set of navigation paths in the Web graph and produces a complete set of all possible maximal paths. Our new method is capable of generating navigation paths which cannot be extracted by using previous greedy approaches. Through experiments performed on real data, it is shown that when our new technique is used, it outperforms previous approaches in Web usage mining applications such as next-page prediction. Our analysis on Web user sessions exposes an important observation: Web users sessions contain navigation graphs that has small number of nodes where users branch out their navigation into multiple paths.

© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Sandy soil-clay mixtures are commonly used as a liner/barrier material in various engineering applications, such as construction of hydraulic and waste containment. In this study, the hydromechanical characteristics of tuff-bentonite and tuff-bentonite/cement mixtures are investigated to propose a local barrier material. A series of free swelling, one-dimensional consolidation and falling head permeability tests for hydrauli...
Classification of permutation polynomials of the form x3g(xq-1) of Fq2 where g(x) = x3+ bx+ c and b,c∈Fq∗
Özbudak, Ferruh; Gülmez Temür, Burcu (2022-07-01)
© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.We classify all permutation polynomials of the form x3g(xq-1) of Fq2 where g(x) = x3+ bx+ c and b,c∈Fq∗. Moreover we find new examples of permutation polynomials and we correct some contradictory statements in the recent literature. We assume that gcd (3 , q- 1) = 1 and we use a well known criterion due to Wan and Lidl, Park and Lee, Akbary and Wang, Wang, and Zieve.
A Minimal Maslov Number Condition for Displaceability in Certain Weakly Exact Symplectic Manifolds
Şirikçi, Nil İpek (2022-08-01)
© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.We present a proof of a result which gives an upper bound for the minimal Maslov number of a displaceable n-dimensional Lagrangian submanifold in a weakly exact symplectic manifold with minimal Chern number at least n. The proof utilizes a result on the Conley-Zehnder index of a periodic orbit of the flow of a specifically constructed Floer Hamiltonian and an index relation.
The mediator role of perceived social support in the relationship between difficulties in emotion regulation and suicide tendency
Demir, Berkan; Sümer, Zeynep (2022-01-01)
© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.While literature maintained a strong association between emotion regulation skills and suicidal behavior, relatively less is known as to what extent this relationship goes through different dimensions of perceived social support. The purpose of the present study is to examine the possible mediator role of divergent aspects of perceived social support (family, friends, and significant other) in the...
Modeling coastal Güzelyurt (Morphou) aquifer in northern Cyprus for mitigation of groundwater depletion through managed aquifer recharge
Demir, Cansu; Fanta, Debebe; Akıntuğ, Bertuğ; Ünlü, Kahraman (2022-08-01)
© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Groundwater depletion is considered a global problem. Coastal aquifers in arid and semiarid areas of the Mediterranean basin constitute typical examples of depleted aquifers. Güzelyurt (Morphou) Aquifer, the most important water resource for northern Cyprus, faces the problems of groundwater depletion and degradation of water quality near the coast due to significant amounts of groundwater extraction to satisfy the high demand....
