In a modern heterogeneous environment where users use a variety of devices such as smart phones PDAs and laptops and a variety of network connections such as Wireless LAN and GPRS to connect to the email system handling of email and attachment messages and ensuring readability becomes an important management challenge In some cases it is necessary to transcode the multimedia attachment to a for...

We present results from using Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) for automatic handling of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions). FAQs have a high language variability and include a mixture of technical and non-technical terms. LSA has a potential to be useful for automatic handling of FAQ as it reduces the linguistic variability and capture semantically related concept. It is also easy to adapt for FA...

The usage of the X.400 Message Handling System (MHS) is growing rapidly, especially in the commercial world but much interest can also be found in the academic and research community. New networks and new addresses come into use each and every day. The underlying technology for different X.400 networks can vary depending on the transport network and the X.400 MHS implementations used. As a larg...

It is very well known that tuned mass dampers are engineered to minimise the vibrations in buildings in earthquake prone areas and in some cases machinery [1]. This paper evaluates the utility of Tuned Mass Dampers in passenger cars. For the same suspension system, addition of a tuned mass was found to reduce the transmissibility by a considerable amount. Addition of a tuned mass also helps in ...
