We examine the effects of different latency penalties in the evaluation of push notification systems, as operationalized in the TREC 2015 Microblog track evaluation. The purpose of this study is to inform the design of metrics for the TREC 2016 Real-Time Summarization track, which is largely modeled after the TREC 2015 evaluation design.

abstract: both estrangement and alienation press in certain mental and physical complications in man’s life and force him to experience mental deficiency, and feel a lack of positive communal or individual sense of belonging. however, the jahili sense of these terms is quite different from their modern application. in the jahili period, old age and senility are the main reasons for such inconve...

Voiding dysfunction usually presents in one of two ways. The first is in the form of symptoms. Symptoms related to voiding dysfunction are broadly referred to as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). LUTS have classically been divided into obstructive symptoms such as difficulty initiating a stream, decreased force of urinary stream, need to push and strain to void (stranguria), hesitancy or int...

Dark energy is a mysterious force that pervades all space, acting as a "push" to accelerate the universe's expansion. Despite being 70 percent of the universe, dark energy was only discovered in 1998 by two teams observing Type Ia supernovae. A Type 1a supernova is a cataclysmic explosion of a white dwarf star. The best way of measuring dark energy just got better, thanks to a new study of Type...

In this paper we propose system architecture and implementation methodology of walking assistant robot for the elderly. We use shared control system based on sensor feedback. For operation user push or pull handle, than robot sense applied force. It decides velocity and direction of the robot. If obstacles are detected, robot avoids obstacles and plans new path for collision free. It can provid...

Please share your stories about how Open Access to this article benefits you. The trades unions of the working people exist under economical conditions and cannot be stamped out. Water does not run uphill and though human ingenuity may force it up, it will still run downhill. .. And so it is with the wage workers' organizations—they exist, and no power on earth can push them out of existence.

Original scientific paper This paper has presented and discussed machinability in the drilling of SMC (Sheet Mould Compound) A-Class composite materials using Taguchi's DoE method. The thrust forces, surface roughness and push-out peel-up delamination behaviour in drilling process for glass fibre reinforced SMC composites have been evaluated. The experimental results and the contribution ratio ...

In the study, the influence of different boot prototype stiffness on gait kinematics and kinetics was investigated. The boot stiffness was determined by force-deformation measurement while pressing the foot model inserted into the boot by a custom-made robot. Gait analysis was carried out in nine neurologically intact subjects during walking while wearing two different boots with and without ca...

The scheduling and execution of ramp area operations is a challenging task. Unlike aircraft maneuvers on taxiways, ramp area aircraft maneuvers are typically not confined to well-defined trajectories. The stochastic nature can force ramp area aircraft to slow down or stop along routes to the taxiway spot to avoid a loss of separation. To address this, we provide a tool for ramp controllers to h...
