World Wide Web is a huge repository of web pages and links. It provides profusion of information for the Internet users. The growth of web is tremendous as approximately one million pages are added daily. User’s accesses are recorded in web logs. Because of the incredible usage of web, the web log files are growing at a faster rate and the size is becoming huge. Web data mining is the applicati...

As e-government enters the “transformation” phase, public authorities face major challenges in terms of governance and leadership. The present article consolidates prior research related to organizational structure and governance, and provides an analytical framework intended to guide empirical enquiry and to orient action. We argue that our understanding is enhanced by distinguishing an “integ...

Les techniques de segmentation d'images sont largement utilisées en télédétection, comme le démontre leur présence dans la plupart des systèmes commerciaux de traitement d'images. Un effort considérable a été consacré au développement d'algorithmes de segmentation, résultant en une profusion de techniques différentes. En comparaison, le nombre d'outils développés pour l'évaluation quantitative ...

Baritosis is one of the benign pneumoconioses in which inhaled particulate matter lies in the lungs for years without producing symptoms, abnormal physical signs, incapacity for work, interference with lung function, or liability to develop pulmonary or bronchial infections or other thoracic disease. Owing to the high radio-opacity of barium, the discrete shadows in the chest radiograph are ext...

Since the last revision of the national particulate standards, there has been a profusion of epidemiologic research showing associations between particulates and health effects--mortality in particular. Supported by this research, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency promulgated a national standard for particulate matter [less than/equal to] 2.5 microm in aerodynamic diameter (PM(2.5)). Nev...

a chronic course, and are infinitely more refractory to treatment are, as a rule, dismissed with the briefest reference. It is, of course, possible that in the localities where it has been chiefly studied, Ceylon, Haiti, Cochin China, the Gold Coast and Central Africa, the secondary eruptions are found in greater profusion than in the relatively temperate climate of Assam.* Be the explanation w...

Given the profusion of illness-related information, in this article, we consider how talking about information seeking—and in particular Internet use—is difficult, not because it is necessarily a highly sensitive topic (though it may be), but rather due to the unusual and unfamiliar situation of talking about information seeking. Drawing on interviews conducted as part of a study on the educati...

There is a massive increase of information available on electronic networks. This profusion of resources on the WorldWide Web gave rise to considerable interest in the research community. Traditional information retrieval techniques have been applied to the document collection on the Internet, and a myriad of search engines and tools have been proposed and implemented. However, the e ectiveness...

In recent years there has been a profusion of resources about Down syndrome available on the World Wide Web and for increasing numbers of people the internet is the resource first contacted when new information is required on a topic. The present paper examined the function of a discussion group which is used primarily by parents of people with Down syndrome. Qualitative research methodology (c...

Visuospatial attention involves the selection of stimuli from the environment for further neural processing. The attention-related enhancement of visual responses in posterior parietal cortex is a possible neural substrate for visuospatial attention. By analogy with the selection process in the spatial domain, motor attention is postulated to involve a selection among simultaneous upper motor s...
