Tools for Intelligent Search in Collections of Digitized Manuscripts

The paper presents a methodology for development of tools for semantics oriented search in repositories of digitized manuscripts. This methodology is based on the application of some Semantic Web technologies to existing manuscript collections that may include: electronic catalogue containing marked-up manuscript descriptions, full texts of manuscripts, digital images of manuscript pages. It is...

Knowledge-Based Search in Collections of Digitized Manuscripts: First Results

The paper presents in brief a methodology for development of tools for knowledge-based search in repositories of digitized manuscripts. It is designated to assist the search activities in collections that may enlist XML documents which should be catalogue descriptions or marked-up full texts of mediaeval manuscripts. The suggested methodology is directed to the development of software environme...

Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS)

Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) is a widely used method for the surface layer analysis of solids. This lecture gives a brief introduction into the method, and describes scattering kinematics, scattering cross-section data, stopping power data, detector resolution issues, and electronic energy loss straggling in some detail. Computer codes for the simulation of RBS spectra and RBS d...
