Report on CLEF-2001 Experiments

For our first participation in CLEF retrieval tasks, our first objective was to define a general stopword list for various European languages (namely, French, Italian, German and Spanish) and also to suggest simple and efficient stemming procedures for them. Our second aim was to suggest a combined approach that might be implemented in order to facilitate effective access to multilingual collec...

Final Report on Pd Catalysts , March , 2001

Zirconia-supported Pd160 and bulk Pd160 were used as methane combustion catalysts for a reaction mixture containing 1% methane and 4% l8Oz in helium. The methane oxidation reaction was performed in pulsed experiments and the distribution of oxygen isotopes among the reaction products was monitored. The “0 content of the catalyst following labeled reaction mixture pulses was determined by cataly...

Report on the EFIS 2001 Workshop

Engineering of Federated Information Systems (FIS) is a research area, which addresses the systematic development of interoperation solutions for autonomous, distributed heterogeneous systems covering both database and non-database information sources. As many examples of information systems for business, science and personal use show, there is an increasing need to make information available v...
