DEMONSTRAVIMOSI ELGSENA IR JOS MOTYVACIJA by Vytis Viliūnas, Anna Kravčenko

“…Hysterical symptoms most convincingly substantiates the existence of functionally autonomic motivation of demonstration, the rudiments of which are observed in animal behavior. Among various deviations of this motivation, light hysteria forms, the pathology of which is usually doubtful, should be singled out, as well as the cases of hysteroidic psychopathy and accentuation, the description of which refers to an insatiable passion for turning attention at oneself as to the main particularity. …”

Framework for stream clustering of trajectories based on temporal micro clustering technique by Abdulrazzaq, Musaab Riyadh

“…However, it is a vital process for many applications such as traffic management, studying of animal behavior, and weather forecasting. Many existing algorithms for stream clustering of trajectory stream data exploit the time window technique which partition trajectory stream data into time-bins and cluster the segments in each timebin separately. …”
