Prior-art search is an important task in patent retrieval. The success of this task relies upon the selection of relevant search queries. Typically terms for prior-art queries are extracted from the claim fields of query patents. However, due to the complex technical structure of patents, and presence of terms mismatch and vague terms, selecting relevant terms for queries is a difficult task. D...

There has been considerable recent interest in “cloud storage” wherein a user asks a server to store a large file. One issue is whether the user can verify that the server is actually storing the file, and typically a challenge-response protocol is employed to convince the user that the file is indeed being stored correctly. The security of these schemes is phrased in terms of an extractor whic...

Most information retrieval settings, such as web search, are typically precision-oriented, i.e. they focus on retrieving a small number of highly relevant documents. However, in specific domains, such as patent retrieval or law, recall becomes more relevant than precision: in these cases the goal is to find all relevant documents, requiring algorithms to be tuned more towards recall at the cost...

Predictable retrievability of cement-retained prostheses has been a clinical concern. This article presents a technique that describes an implant restoration design which will allow predictable removal of cement-retained implant-supported prostheses.

Data integrity is one of the major concerns with cloud data storage for cloud user. Besides, the cloud user’s constrained computing capabilities make the task of data integrity auditing expensive and even formidable. In recent years, many public data integrity verification schemes have been proposed, however, most of them are vulnerable to an efficient active attack, which means that the active...

Retrievability measures the influence a retrieval system has on access to information in given collection of items. This measure can help making an evaluation search based which insights be drawn. In this paper, we investigate retrievability integrated consisting items from various categories, particularly focussing datasets, publications \ijdl{and variables} real-life Digital Library (DL). The...

Even without feedback, test practice enhances delayed performance compared to study practice. However, students often cram by studying just before an exam rather than testing themselves. Cramming appears irrational, but this may depend on whether items are initially retrievable. In this study, an initial test determined item retrievability. Retrievable or non-retrievable items were subsequently...
