Abstract: Background: Building an anchor is one of the most important aspects of any technical rope system. The goal of this research is to obtain a better understanding of load distribution in a pre-equalized anchor system using multiple point configurations. All climbers, mountaineers, technical rescue teams (Mountain Rescue, USAR), guides, or anyone who needs to build an anchor with multiple...

This document describes a runtime local mobility anchor assignment functionality and corresponding mobility options for Proxy Mobile IPv6. The runtime local mobility anchor assignment takes place during a Proxy Binding Update and a Proxy Binding Acknowledgement message exchange between a mobile access gateway and a local mobility anchor. The runtime local mobility anchor assignment functionalit...

Any graph which is not vertex transitive has a proper induced subgraph which is unique due to its structure or the way of its connection to the rest of the graph. We have called such subgraph as an anchor. Using an anchor which, in fact, is representative of a graph asymmetry, the reconstruction of that graph reduces to a smaller form of the reconstruction. Therefore, to show that a graph is re...

In the third year of the Link the Wiki track, anchor-to-BEP link discovery has been the focus besides the file-to-file link discovery. There are two collections, Wikipedia and Te Ara, used in 2009 for respective tasks. 5000 topics were randomly selected for the file-to-file task and 33 anchor-to-BEP topics were nominated by the participants. The Te Ara corpus is used for the first time and the ...

For biomedical information extraction, most systems use syntactic patterns on verbs (anchor verbs) and their arguments. Anchor verbs can be selected by focusing on their arguments. We propose to use predicate-argument structures (PASs), which are outputs of a full parser, to obtain verbs and their arguments. In this paper, we evaluated PAS method by comparing it to a method using part of speech...

This paper presents Carnegie Mellon University’s experiments on the mixed named-page and homepage finding task of the TREC 12 Web Track. Our results were strong; we achieved the success using language models estimated from combining information from document text, in-link text, and information present in the structure of the documents. We also present experiments using expectations about poster...

This report describes the work done at The University of Melbourne with the ClueWeb09 data corpus for the Web Track of TREC-2009 and TREC-2010, and for the Session Track of TREC-2010. We found that the impact-based retrieval model works well for the corpus, and that, along with some other factors, the use of an anchor text collection significantly boosts the retrieval effectiveness.

This paper presents our system and results for the Feed Distillation task in the Blog track at TREC 2007. Our experiments focus on two dimensions of the task: (1) a large-document model (feed retrieval) vs. a small-document model (entry or post retrieval) and (2) a novel query expansion method using the link structure and link text found within Wikipedia.

This study investigated anchor type (textual, auditory, or a combination) and effect on rater reliability. Forty judges were selected to rate voice samples of various voice quality types in terms of vocal severity using four different methods (No Anchor, Textual Anchor, Auditory Anchor, and Combined Textual/Auditory Anchors). Results indicated that auditory anchors produced significantly improv...

For the TREC-2002 web track the University of Melbourne experimented with a system designed primarily for topic relevance tasks, and applied it directly to the homepage finding and topic distillation tasks. Our intention was to process queries regardless of their classification, as discriminating information may be unavailable in practice. An integer-valued weighting scheme reported in earlier ...
