The University of Pittsburgh team participated in two tracks for TREC 2005: the High Accuracy Retrieval from Documents (HARD) track and the Enterprise Retrieval track. The goal of Pitt’s HARD study in TREC 2005 was to examine the effectiveness of applying Self Organizing Maps (SOM) as a visual presentation tool and as a clustering tool in the context of HARD tasks, especially its role in clarif...

This article provides a novel technique of X (mod P) realization. It is based on the Reed-Muller polynomial expansion. The advantage of the approach concludes in the capability to realize X (mod P) for an arbitrary P. The approach is competitive with the known realizations on the speed processing. Advantages and results of comparison with the known approaches for X [9:1] and P=7 is demonstrated...

In 1967 Durrmeyer introduced a modiication of the Bernstein polynomials as a selfadjoint polynomial operator on L 2 0; 1] which proved to be an interesting and rich object of investigation. Incorporating Jacobi weights Berens and Xu obtained a more general class of operators, sharing all the advantages of Durrmeyer's modiication, and identiied these operators as de la Vall ee{Poussin means with...

While term expansion techniques are well investigated for many domains, semantic enrichment of keyword queries for the retrieval of scientific datasets is still paid little attention to. In particular, a systematic analysis of which kind of semantically related concepts lead to the most relevant results is missing. Based on query expansion techniques, we semantically enriched search queries pro...

tehran as the biggest metropolitan of iran is located in the areas that are at high-risk of earthquake. what increases tehran's vulnerability toward earthquake is the urban physical expansion in vaious dimensions. since the analysis of the mentioned expansion is a solution to many urban problems, the effects of tehran expansion in increasing vulnerability to earthquake has been surveyed in...

We design a new observable, the expansion rate fluctuation $\eta$, to characterize deviations from linear relation between redshift and distance in local universe. also show how compress resulting signal into spherical harmonic coefficients order better decipher structure symmetries of anisotropies rate. apply this analysis scheme several public catalogs redshift-independent distances, Cosmicfl...

in this paper we show that expansion of a buchsbaum simplicial complex is $cm_t$, for an optimal integer $tgeq 1$. also, by imposing extra assumptions on a $cm_t$ simplicial complex, we provethat it can be obtained from a buchsbaum complex.
