In 2012, the Crowdsourcing track had two separate tasks: a text relevance assessing task (TRAT) and an image relevance assessing task (IRAT). This track overview describes the track and provides analysis of the track’s results.

in this paper, using annular resonator we have designed an adding and dropping filter light based ontwo-dimensional photonic crystals. the shape of ring resonator filter adding and dropping that wehave proposed is race track. this filter has a hexagonal lattice structure of silicon bars withrefractive index 3/46 that is located in the context of air with refractive index 1. transmissionefficien...

When rails are laid in a railway track, small gaps are left between the ends of adjoining rails to allow for the expansion of the rails when the temperature rises. Rail joints are provided to form a continuous rail path which are normally laid in standard lengths bolted together by fishplates. When two rail joints are exactly opposing each other, they are called square (side by side) joints...

We show that for every n there are two simple curves on the torus intersecting at least n times without the two curves folding or spiralling with respect to each other. On the other hand, two simple curves in a punctured plane that intersect at least n times (and do not create any empty bigons) must either form a spiral of depth d or a fold of width cn/(d + 1) − 1, where c only depends on the n...

The prevalence and characteristics of mentorship among junior faculty in clinician-scientist and clinician-educator tracks were evaluated. Comprehensive improvement strategies are needed.

Various barriers for the uptake of energy-efficiency measures in the domestic sector have been identified. Projects try to quantify the effect of individual barriers like transaction costs, information lack, access to technologies or convenience. We propose to use the ‘consumer choice chain’ as a wider framework to understand energy-efficiency choices by domestic consumers. This allows comparis...
