the increasing reliance on information gathered from the web and other internet technologies raise the issue of trust. through the development of semantic web, one major difficulty is that, by its very nature, the semantic web is a large, uncensored system to which anyone may contribute. this raises the question of how much credence to give each resource. each user knows the trustworthiness of ...

power transformers provide a vital link between the generation and distribution of produced energy. such static equipment is subjected to abuse during operation in generation and distribution stations and leads to catastrophic failures. this paper reviewed the techniques in the field of condition monitoring of power transformers in recent years. transformer monitoring and diagnosis are the effe...

In recent years we have witnessed an exponential increase in the amount of biological information, either DNA or protein sequences, that has become available in public databases. This has been followed by an increased interest in developing computational techniques to automatically classify these large volumes of sequence data into various categories corresponding to either their role in the ch...

The implementation and evaluation of asynchronous search techniques can be done in any programming language allowing a distributed programming. Nevertheless, for the study of such techniques and for their evaluation, it is easier and more efficient to implement the techniques under certain distributed environments, which offer various facilities, such as NetLogo and are open-source. This articl...

BACKGROUND The usual kappa statistic requires that all observations be enumerated. However, in free-response assessments, only positive (or abnormal) findings are notified, but negative (or normal) findings are not. This situation occurs frequently in imaging or other diagnostic studies. We propose here a kappa statistic that is suitable for free-response assessments. METHOD We derived the eq...
