A search engine can be modeled as a mapping that takes in user keywords as input and produces search results as output. Currently, the most dominant form of search advertising is input bidding where advertisers bid to associate their advertisements with keywords. We propose output bidding where advertisers bid to associate their advertisements with search results without changing or replacing a...

systematic research on english language teachers' perceptions of research has not yet shown whether or not ‘teacher research’ is acceptably understood and carried out in institutions of higher education worldwide. moreover, understanding cross-cultural (mis)conceptions of and barriers to research is an important initial step in promoting teacher research engagement. this article explores percep...

In 10 years, we will mark the 200th anniversary of the James Parkinson's original description of the disease that now bears his name. This study was to explore an alternative statistical approach to quantitatively and qualitatively assessing current research trends on global Parkinson's disease, using the related literatures from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Science dat...

Purpose – Research with stem cells is a biomedical venture with great scientific impact, and whose development flows over into many other areas. This article presents a dual analysis of Spain ́s scientific output in this field during the period 1997-2007. Design/methodology/approach – We used, on the one hand, bibliometric indicators of a basic nature, and on the other hand, techniques for the v...

This article presents a research work on the design and synthesis of sequential circuits and flip-flops that are available in digital arena; and describes a new synthesis design of reversible counter that is optimized in terms of quantum cost, delay and garbage outputs compared to the existing designs. We proposed a new model of reversible T flip-flop in designing reversible counter. Keywords—F...

The correlation between GDP and research publications is an important issue in scientometrics. This article provides further empirical evidence connecting revealed comparative advantage in national research with effects on economic output. Using quantitative time series analysis, this study attempts to determine the nature of causal relationships between research output and economic growth. One...

In this paper we present a way of deciding which control law should operate at a time for a mobile walking robot. The proposed deciding method is based on the new research field, called Neutrosophic Logic. The results are presented as a simulated system for which the output is related to the inputs according to the Neutrosophic Logic. Keywords— Neutrosophic Logic, Hybrid Control, Walking Robots
