review. However, peer review has limitations in evaluating research papers. In this paper, Scienstein and the new idea of " collaborative document evaluation " are presented. Scienstein is a project to evaluate scientific papers collaboratively based on ratings, links, annotations and classifications by the scientific community using the internet. In this paper, critical success factors of coll...

Every year the Swedish Institute for Computer Science (SICS) holds the Trading Agent Competition (TAC). Although the specifications of the competition vary from year to year, the classic game is continually maintained. In this paper, I present a search-based approach to playing the TAC Classic game. I will show the background of the game and present the rules of TAC classic, review the state of...

The separated electromagnetic responses RL(q, ω) and RT (q, ω) for inclusive electron scattering off nuclei are studied within a functional scheme.

BACKGROUND Lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESIs) are procedures often utilized in the treatment of radicular pain. TFESIs with a preganglionic approach have been reported to be more effective than TFESIs performed using a classic approach. However, it is unknown whether TFESIs using a retrodiscal approach are as effective as other approaches. OBJECTIVE To investigate the ...

Modal parameter extraction of high speed shafts is of critical importance in mechanical design of turbo-pumps. Due to the complex geometry and peripheral components of turbo-pumps, difficulties can arise in determination of modal parameters. In this study, modal properties of a turbo-pump shaft, was studied by experimental modal analysis, and using different excitation techniques. An innovative...
