2. OVERVIEW OF GIR SYSTEM 2.1 Pre-process The GIR system requires a text index and a geographic index. As the text index, those created for existing full-text search can be used. The geographic index is made by using NE recognizer, which locates place name expressions in texts as geo-references and geo-coder, which assigns coordinates to each geo-reference. The geographic index of our method al...

Background: Ovarian carcinoma is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death among females. K-ras codon 12 mutations are commonly occurring mutations in different types of cancers and leads to resistance against anti-EGFR therapeutics. Hence, determination of mutations in k-ras gene is crucial for predicting response to anti-EGFR therapies. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of k...

Today’s geo-location estimation approaches are able to infer the location of a target image using its visual content alone. These approaches exploit visual matching techniques, applied to a large collection of background images with known geo-locations. Users who are unaware that visual retrieval approaches can compromise their geo-privacy, unwittingly open themselves to risks of crime or other...

RNAnet provides a bridge between two widely used Human gene databases. Ensembl describes DNA sequences and transcripts but not experimental gene expression. Whilst GEO contains actual expression levels from many thousands of Human samples but, although samples in GEO can be queried by experiment, comparison across the whole of GEO is not supported. RNAnet provides immediate access to thousands ...

metals used in everyday life are produced from ores occurring in the earth’s crust. geological processes are known to concentrate minerals to form ores of economic value. mineral processing engineers concentrate these ores by mechanical and physico-chemical methods while the extractive metallurgist extracts the metals by chemical means.

In geographic information science and semantics, the computation of semantic similarity is widely recognised as key to supporting a vast number of tasks in information integration and retrieval. By contrast, the role of geosemantic relatedness has been largely ignored. In natural language processing, semantic relatedness is often confused with the more specific semantic similarity. In this arti...

Smart Systems provide novel enabling functionalities and as such are currently a driving force behind product innovation. Smart Systems are, therefore, crucial for the competitiveness of companies and entire industry sectors. Geo-tagging and smart spaces are two promising directions in modern mobile market. Geo-tagging allows to markup any kind of data by geographical coordinates and time. This...

Combining the theories of politics of scale from political geography, security theory from international relations, and energy security theory, and putting the scale conversion of energy contention, geographical relationship and geo-structure in geo-setting, and the three properties of safety in consideration, this paper rebuilds a geo-energy security evaluation model and uses the model to quan...
