In this paper, we present an approach for retrieving relevant articles from the biomedical corpus. Our first run considered four kinds of operators as query expansion. The operators are phrase, mandatory, optional and synonym set. The second run lowered the ranking of documents which contained query terms only in their MeSH fields. The results of the official runs and further experiments were l...

We describe the submissions of the University of Sheffield (USFD) for the phraselevel Quality Estimation (QE) shared task of WMT16. We test two different approaches for phrase-level QE: (i) we enrich the provided set of baseline features with information about the context of the phrases, and (ii) we exploit predictions at other granularity levels (word and sentence). These approaches perform cl...

The electromagnetic field that an overhead infinitely line current produces at the surface of the earth can be expressed as inverse Fourier integrals over a horizontal wave number in terms of the Neumann and Struve functions. These functions have known mathematical properties, including the series expansions. The latter are utilized in this work to derive expressions for the electromagnetic fie...

In this paper, we present a novel query expansion approach based on splitting the user query into a set of N-grams, and expanding them separately utilizing a set of research articles. Our approach is based on retrieving a set of relevant research articles, process their abstracts to expand the query/searched term or phrase. We aim to expand terms that a regular relevance feedback might ignore. ...

In this paper we present newly developed functions in Maplepackage SyNRAC, for solving real algebraic constraints derived from various engineering problems. The current version of SyNRAC provides quantifier elimination (QE) for the quadratic case and an environment dealing with first-order formulas over the reals (including new simplifiers of formulas) on Maple.

A polynomial expansion procedure and an analytical discrete-ordinates method are used to evaluate the viscous-slip coefficient, the thermal-slip coefficient, and the temperature-jump coefficient as defined by a rigorous version of the linearized Boltzmann equation for rigid-sphere interactions and the Cercignani–Lampis boundary condition. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.15...

We extend the inductive approach to the lace expansion, previously developed to study models with critical dimension 4, to be applicable more generally. In particular, the result of this note has recently been used to prove Gaussian asymptotic behaviour for the Fourier transform of the two-point function for sufficiently spread-out lattice trees in dimensions d > 8, and it is potentially also a...

Suppose that K ⊂ U(n) is a compact Lie group acting on the (2n+1)dimensional Heisenberg group Hn. We say that (K,Hn) is a Gelfand pair if the convolution algebra LK(Hn) of integrable K-invariant functions on Hn is commutative. In this case, the Gelfand space ∆(K,Hn) is equipped with the GodementPlancherel measure, and the spherical transform ∧ : LK(Hn)→ L(∆(K,Hn)) is an isometry. The main resul...

The successful quasi-particle model is compared with recent lattice data of the coefficients in the Taylor series expansion of the excess pressure at finite temperature and baryon density. A chain of approximations, starting from QCD to arrive at the model expressions for the entropy density, is presented.

We consider a minimal scalar in the presence of a three-brane in ten dimensions. The linearized equation of motion, which is just the wave equation in the three-brane metric, can be solved in terms of associated Mathieu functions. An exact expression for the reflection and absorption probabilities can be obtained in terms of the characteristic exponent of Mathieu’s equation. We describe an algo...
