The nuclear track detector CR39: results from different experiments

The nuclear track detector CR39 was calibrated with different ions of different energies. Due to the low detection threshold (Z/β ∼ 6e) and the good charge resolution (σZ ∼ 0.2e for 6e ≤ Z/β ≤ 83e with 2 measurements), the detector was used for different purposes: (i) fragmentation of high and medium energy ions; (ii) search for magnetic monopoles, nuclearites, strangelets and Q-balls in the co...

THU TREC2002 Web Track Experiments

Anchor text has been proofed efficient in former TREC experiments on homepage finding task and somewhat useful to ad hoc retrieval by result combination. In this year, our conclusion was consistent with formers. Besides, the use of the URL and links inside the webpage were also observed. Again, results on training set are encouraging. We made an assumption that a key resource is more likely to ...

To distribute or not to distribute?

In this paper we address some central problems of combination of logics through the study of a very simple but highly informative case, the combination of the logics of disjunction and conjunction. At first it seems that it would be very easy to combine such logics, but the following problem arises: if we combine these logics in a straightforward way, distributivity holds. On the other hand, di...

TREC-10 Web Track Experiments at MSRA

In TREC-10, Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) participated in the Web track (ad hoc retrieval task and homepage finding task). The latest version of the Okapi system (Windows 2000 version) was used. We focused on the developing of content-based retrieval and linkbased retrieval, and investigated the suitable combination of the two. For content-based retrieval, we examined the problems of weighting...
