GTE SuperPages: Using IR Techniques for Searching Complex Objects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The yellow pages service of GTE SuperPages enables Web users to flexibly search through liitings of 11 million businesses in over 17000 categories. To achieve the flexibility desired it uses an Information Retrieval (IR) engine to search through complex listing objects. The objects themselves are stored in an object database. The use of the IR engine enables us to create an index that spans all the components of a complex object.

Fast Algorithms for Collision and Proximity Problems Involving Moving Geometric Objects
Consider a set of geometric objects, such as points, line segments, or axesparallel hyperrectangles in IR, that move with constant but possibly different velocities along linear trajectories. Efficient algorithms are presented for several problems defined on such objects, such as determining whether any two objects ever collide and computing the minimum inter-point separation or minimum diamete...
متن کاملIR Thermography for the Detection of Buried Objects: A Short Review
Sub-surface buried objects, such landmines and archaeological artefacts, and the surrounding environment constitute a complex system with variable characteristics. As a consequence, the detection and recognition of these objects may be extremely difficult. IR thermography, which is widely employed in the detection of discontinuities in materials and structures, would be in principle suitable al...
متن کاملThe Effectiveness of Green Tea or Green Tea Extract on Insulin Resistance and Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Meta-Analysis
Green tea or green tea extract (GT/GTE) has been demonstrated to reduce insulin resistance and improve glycemic control. However, evidence for this health beneficial effect is inconsistent. This systematic review evaluated the effect of GT/GTE on insulin resistance and glycemic control in people with pre-diabetes/type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, AMED, Web of Science, and t...
متن کاملDoes supplementation with green tea extract improve insulin resistance in obese type 2 diabetics? A randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled clinical trial.
BACKGROUND Green tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world. It is believed to have beneficial effects in the prevention and treatment of many diseases, one of which is type 2 diabetes. The aim of the study is to examine the effect of a decaffeinated green tea extract (GTE) providing a daily dose of 856 mg of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on obese individuals with type 2 diabetes. ...
