An increasing number of online information services calculate and report the citedness score of the source documents and provide a link to the group of records of the citing documents. The citedness score depends on the breadth of source coverage, and the ability of the software to identify the cited documents correctly. The citedness score may be a good indicator of the influence of the docume...

Coverage is an important criterion when evaluating information systems. This exploratory study investigates this issue by submitting the same query to different databases relevant to the query topic. Information was retrieved f from three databases: ACM Digital Library, WOS (with the Proceedings Citation Index) and Scopus. The search phrase was “information retrieval”, publication years were be...

In this article, we present SYNCHRON, o computer model of Kolk and van Grunsven’s (1985) hypothesis of ogrommotic comprehension deficits. According to this hypothesis, porsing foils in ogrommotic aphasics since syntactic representational elements thot need to be active simultaneously ore often not cooctive because of disturbances in timing due to brain damage. SYNCHRON hos been especially desig...

BACKGROUND As in other fields of medicine, scientific production in the field of dentistry has significant placement. This study aimed at quantitatively and qualitatively evaluating Iranian researchers' scientific output in the field of dentistry and determining their contribution in each of dentistry subfields and branches. METHODS This research was a scientometric study that applied quantit...

We introduce and analyze a new class of nonlinear filters called permutation weighted order statistic (PWOS) filters. These filters extend the concept of weighted order statistic (WOS) filters, in which filter weights associated with the input samples are used to replicate the corresponding samples, and an order statistic is chosen as the filter output. PWOS filters replicate each input sample ...

Bac&ground: Nitric oxide released by inducible nitric oxide synthase (WOS) plays an important role in immune responses and systemic vasodilation in septic shock. Volatile anesthetics have been reported to interfere with signal transduction and gene expression. We studied the effect of volatile anesthetics on activity and expression of iNOS and potential mechanisms of action. Methods: Nitrite re...

The World-Wide Web consists not only of informational, but also computational resources. However, these resources, especially computational ones are underutilized. One characteristic of the Web is its ever changing structure; for instance, nodes are dynamically added and removed. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to draw a complete and accurate picture of available resources. We consi...

This article presents a study of the use of data preparation for data mining methodology to prepare biomedical citation data for visualization. Deterministic record linkage models were compared with probabilistic record linkage in a situation for which the truth is known through the use of gold standard or truth datasets. The linkages are evaluated on data from the Web of Science (WOS) and Medl...
