Temporal Information Retrieval: Challenges and Opportunities

Time is an important dimension of any information space. It can be very useful for a wide range of information retrieval tasks such as document exploration, similarity search, summarization, and clustering. Traditionally, information retrieval applications do not take full advantage of all the temporal information embedded in documents to provide alternative search features and user experience....

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells: Challenges and Opportunities

Regenerative capacity of mammals is limited and can rarely regenerate a specific organ or tissue fully. Due to these limitations, regenerative medicine seeks efficient and safe cell sources for regeneration of damaged tissues and organs or treatment for incurable diseases. Human embryonic stem cells (HESCs) hold two important properties called self renewal and pluripotency. However, the use of ...

Persian Asafoetida vs. Sagapenum: Challenges and Opportunities
