On the Evaluation of IR Systems

چکیده

The paper highlights the ever increasing complexity in the evaluation of IR systems which has arisen over the last decade. Relevance, cognition, user behaviour, interaction and a changing view of the boundaries of the system are considered to be contributory factors. Issues such as laboratory versus operational systems, black-box versus diagnostic experiments, and qualitative and quantitative methods, are discussed and supported by examples drawn from three groups of evaluative experiments: weighted searching on a front end system, information seeking behaviour and the use of OPACs, and the OKAPI experimental retrieval system. Published in: Information Processing and Management 28, 457-466 (1992).

Evaluation the protective effects of doxycycline on acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in mice

Acetaminophen (APAP) toxicity threatens human health due to increased mortality associated with its overdose. Doxycycline (DC) because of its properties such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory can be a good therapeutic strategy to treat the acute toxicity induced by APAP. Male mice were divided to six groups in two periods of 3 and 24-h as normal saline, APAP 400 mg/kg, DC 100 mg/kg and group...
