Analysis of the Resolution of Crime Using Predictive Modeling

There has been evidence of crime in the US since colonization. In this article, we analyze the crime statistics of San Francisco and its resolution of crime recorded from January to September of the year 2018. We define resolution of crime as a target variable and study its relationship with other variables. We make several classification models to predict resolution of crime using several data mining techniques and suggest the best model for predicting resolution.

Co-Doped Rare-Earth (La, Pr) and Co-Al Substituted M-Type Strontium Hexaferrite: Structural, Magnetic, and Mossbauer Spectroscopy Study

The present study investigates the influence of La3+ and Pr3+ doping on the structural, magnetic properties, and hyperfine fields of Sr0.7RE0.3Fe12-2x CoxAlxO19, (RE: La3+ and Pr3+, x = 0.0 - 0.8) hexaferrite compounds prepared via auto-combustion technique. The XRD analysis shows a linear decrease in a and c lattice and unit cell volume contraction with the content x. The room temperature magnetic study shows that for the Pr3+ doped Sr0.7Pr0.3Fe12-2x CoxAlxO19 (Pr3+-SrM), the magnetization value monotonically decreases while for La3+ doped Sr0.7La0.3Fe12-2xCoxAlxO19 (La3+-SrM) magnetization value shows a noticeable increase in magnetization value with x. The coercivity of the Pr3+-SrM compound was observed to decrease while that of the La3+-SrM compound showed a marked 40% increase at x = 0.2 (~5829 Oe) in comparison to undoped SrFe12O19 (~3918 Oe). A difference in Curie temperature was also observed, with Tc ~ 525°C at x = 0.4 for Pr3+-SrM and Tc = 505°C for x = 0.4 for La3+-SrM compound. The observed differences in magnetic properties have been explained on the basis of the site occupancy of Co2+ and Al3+ in the presence of rare-earth ions. The presence of non-magnetic rare-earth ion, La3+, improved saturation magnetization, and coercivity and deemed suitable replacement for Sr2+. The hyperfine parameters namely quadrupole shift showed a decrease with the La3+ or Pr3+ doping independent of (Co2+-Al3+) ions doping. Overall, the Mossbauer analysis suggests that the (Co2+-Al3+) impurities prefer occupancy at 2a site.
