Typically, only the most recent version of a Linked Data set can be accessed via Subject-URIs and queried by means of SPARQL. Sometimes, select archived versions are made available for bulk download. This archive access approach is cheap for the publisher but, unfortunately, very expe...

Such a user centric evaluation is usually time consuming and expensive, especially when t...

Reactive power plays an important role in supporting real power transmission, maintaining system voltages within proper limits and overall system reliability. In this paper, the production cost of reactive power, cost of the system transmission loss, investment cost of capacitor banks and absolute value of total voltage deviation (TVD) are included into the objective function of the power flow ...

This paper describes the application of a framework for text analysis to the problem of distinguishing unusual or non-standard usage of words in large corpora. The need to identify such novel uses, and augment machine-readable dictionaries is a constant battle for professional lexicographers that need to update their resources in order to keep up with the development of the dynamic and evolving...
