Providing quick and easy access to electronic catalogs of products is one of the most essential parts in the electronic catalog environment. Proposed in this paper are data and query model for electronic catalogs which offer effective searching and management facilities to customize the electronic catalog system. The proposed model separates the management of product information and the visual ...

This Letter presents a publicly available catalog of 174 numerical binary black hole simulations following up to 35 orbits. The catalog includes 91 precessing binaries, mass ratios up to 8∶1, orbital eccentricities from a few percent to 10(-5), black hole spins up to 98% of the theoretical maximum, and radiated energies up to 11.1% of the initial mass. We establish remarkably good agreement wit...

Building intuitive web sites is important for online businesses as positive experiences toward the virtual storefront could translate to customer goodwill and repeat visits. Streamlining web site navigation is further motivated by the availability of comprehensive site visit traces such as shopping carts and click stream logs. The focus of this study is to incorporate such sales and browsing pa...

Business process models are widely used for purposes such as analyzing information systems, improving operational efficiency, modeling supply chains, and re-engineering business processes. A critical aspect of process representation involves a choice among alternative or parallel routes. Such choices are usually represented in process models by routing structures that appear as “split” and “mer...

I analyze several catalogs of known visual and spectroscopic binaries and conclude that a large number of binaries is missing in current catalogs. Samples of the best studied (nearby and bright) stars indicate that the true binary fraction may be as high as 95%. A preliminary analysis indicates that these binaries can affect the astrometry significantly. 1. Binarity: Past Present & Future Duque...

We present a photometric catalog (based on V and I photometry) of galaxies in the central regions of the Fornax galaxy cluster. Our 11 CCD fields cover 0.17 square degrees in total. The limiting surface brightness is around 24 mag arsec, similar to that of Ferguson’s (1989) catalog, whereas our limiting total magnitude is around V ≃ 22 mag, about two magnitudes fainter. It is the surface bright...

A new HI catalog of Low Surface Brightness galaxies out to z=0.1 Abstract. Using both the Arecibo 305m and the Nançay decimetric 100-m class radio telescopes, we have observed the H i line of 116 Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies from the Bothun et al. 1985 subset of LSB galaxies in the Uppsala General Catalog. The observations had a detection rate of 70%, resulting in the new determination...

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have been rapidly applied in biomedical and biological research since its advent only a few years ago, and they are expected to advance at an unprecedented pace in the following years. To provide the research community with a comprehensive NGS resource, we have developed the database Next Generation Sequencing Catalog (NGS Catalog, http://bioinfo.mc...

In this paper we propose a tri-stage cluster identification model that is a combination of a simple single iteration di tance algorithm and an iterative K-means algorithm. In this study of earthquake seismicity, the model considers event location, time and magnitude information from earthquake catalog data to efficiently classify events as either background or mainshock and aftershock sequences...

This paper drawing data from a comparative study of use of Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) and card catalogue of ISRO Satellite Centre (ISAC) library examines the steady decline in use of subject searching by end-users and the associated problems and issues; presents data to highlights negligible use of Boolean operators and combination searches, variations in descriptors assigned to book...
