Global Search1 is a web agent which integrates and enhances many well known search techniques in order to improve the quality of information gathered from usual web search engines. It features intelligent merging of relevant documents from different search engines, anticipated adaptive exploration and evaluation of links from the current result set, automated derivation of refined queries based...

Reverse topk queries are proposed from the perspective of a product manufacturer, which are essential for manufacturers to assess the potential market. However, the existing approaches for reverse topk queries are all based on the assumption that the underlying data are exact (or certain). Due to the intrinsic differences between uncertain and certain data, these methods cannot be applied to pr...

The method of Deibler, Holmes, Campbell, and Gans (1959) is a quick, accurate, and reliable method for the determination of oxygen saturation. The results should be calibrated against those obtained by the Van Slyke method, and the setting, sensitivity, and reliability of the spectrophotometer should be carefully established. This is especially necessary to meet the stringent requirements for a...

High dimensional sequences, such as biological sequences, are characterized by a small number of transactions, and a large number of items in each transaction. Mining sequential patterns in the sequences need to consider different forms of patterns, such as contiguous patterns, local patterns which appear more than one time in a special sequence, and so on. Mining closed patterns might lead to ...

In this paper we describe a web search agent, called Global Search Agent (hereafter GSA for short). GSA integrates and enhances several search techniques in order to achieve significant improvements in the user-perceived quality of delivered information as compared to usual web search engines. GSA features intelligent merging of relevant documents from different search engines, anticipated sele...

This paper explores how information visualization can provide insights into the effectiveness of different query formulations or the same query submitted to multiple search engines. Different queries or search methods are deemed more effective if the fusion of their results leads to a new result set that contains an increased number of relevant documents. The MetaCrystal toolset can be used to ...

The objective was to check music and voice message influence on the vital signals and facial expressions of patients in physiological or induced comas. A randomized controlled clinical trial was done. The sample was consisted of 30 patients from Intensive Care Unit, being divided in 2 groups: Group Control (without auditory stimuli) and Experimental Group (with auditory stimuli). The patients w...

To study the MultiSearch problem and complete the Ad Hoc Task of the 2006 TREC Terabyte Track, the Gov2 collection was divided according to web domain and for each topic, the results from each domain were merged into single ranked list. The mean average precision scores of the results from two different merge algorithms applied to the domain-divided Gov2 collection and a randomized domain-divid...

A bulk data is generated in different organization which is in textual format. In such text structured information is get shadowed in unstructured text. Current algorithms working on constructing information from raw data , but they are not cost effective and sometimes shows impure result set especially when they are working on text with lacking of knowledge about exact arrangement of text data...

representing 100% of site traffic during these periods and 2,029,734 queries overall. The results show that the highest percentage of queries contained two terms. The highest percentage of search sessions contained one query and was less than 1 minute in duration. Almost half of user interactions with clusters consisted of displaying a cluster's result set, and a small percentage of interaction...
