Several operating systems projects revolve around moving functionality above or below the kernel “red line” to increase flexibility or performance. We describe how a general model of partial evaluation encompasses this trend. The operating systems community should not be content with a single interface between applications and the operating system, even if that interface allows extension below ...

In this paper, a new method is proposed for estimating the depreciation rate of technological knowledge based on the analysis of technology cycle time (TCT). Patent citation data are used in an empirical analysis. The following features characterize the proposed TCT-based method: i) Estimation of the depreciation rate is measured by using the entire set of patents; and ii) The current approach ...

background: the aim of present study was to determine the quality of nursing documents in medical-surgical wards and factors affected this quality. methods: in this descriptive study the quality of nurses' documents in medical-surgical wards of teaching hospitals related to tabriz university of medical sciences was assessed. for data gathering, four checklists assessed four parts of nursing doc...

Parallel areas detection in multi-documents for multilingual alignment This article broaches a central issue of the automatic alignment : diagnosing the parallelism of documents. Previous research was concentrated on the analysis of documents which are parallel by nature such as corpus of regulations, technical documents or simple sentences. Inversions and deletions/additions phenomena that may...

The Australian National Corpus has been established in an effort to make currently scattered and relatively inaccessible data available to researchers through an online portal. In contrast to other national corpora, it is conceptualised as a linked collection of many existing and future language resources representing language use in Australia, unified through common technical standards. This a...

The integration of modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) within the cultural domain creates what is commonly known as e-culture. The need to create an e-culture environment arose from the undeniable fact that the cultural heritage of a nation defines a nation and therefore should be disseminated to all, regardless of their location and their disability. This article discusses...

Cross-language information retrieval (CLIR), where queries and documents are in different languages, needs a translation of queries and/or documents, so as to standardize both of them into a common representation. For this purpose, the use of machine translation is an effective approach. However, computational cost is prohibitive in translating large-scale document collections. To resolve this ...

• Patent documents contain important technical knowledge and research results. They have high quality information to inspire designers in product development. However, they are lengthy and have much noisy results such that it takes a lot of human efforts for analysis. And due to the fact that hidden and unanticipated information plays a dominant role for TRIZ user, it is difficult to discern ma...
