Background: Hospitals may be under pressure to implement cost saving strategies regarding prosthesis choice. Thismay involve the use of components which are not the first preference of individual surgeons, or those they have littleexperience with. We aim to examine the effect of standardizing the type of femoral stem used in a single trust, anddetermine whether this is safe practice, particular...

Recently, result diversification has attracted a lot of attention as a means to improve the quality of results retrieved by user queries. In this paper, we propose a new, intuitive definition of diversity called DisC diversity. A DisC diverse subset of a query result contains objects such that each object in the result is represented by a similar object in the diverse subset and the objects in ...

In this paper, we present a new data mining algorithm which involves Data mining for multi moving nodes in a adhoc computing environment and quest the mining results to develop multichannel data allocation schemes so as to improve the overall performance of a adhoc system. First, we propose an algorithm to capture the frequent multichannel user moving nodes from a set of log data in a mobile(ad...

Recently the Ontology Mapping Problem (OMP) has been identified as a key factor towards the success of the Semantic Web and related applications. This problem arises since it is possible for different people to give, through ontologies, different conceptualizations of the same (or overlapping) knowledge domain. In order to tackle the OMP several algorithms have been designed. They aim at discov...

Link information, especially anchor text, is known to be very useful for effective ranking of web pages, particularly in response to navigational queries. We investigated whether enterprise webs contain sufficient internal link information to adequately answer queries derived from the enterprise’s site map or, alternatively, whether adding link evidence from the external Web can boost search ef...
