We propose a simple method for assigning graded relevance values to documents judged during the course of a retrieval experiment. In making this proposal, we aim to avoid the potential for ambiguity and greater cognitive load associated with standard graded relevance judgments. Under our proposal, we first decompose a retrieval topic into a number of informational nuggets. For each document, a ...

Vivek A. Sujan Steven Dubowsky Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Mechanical Engineering Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 Abstract. The basic technology for a robotic system is developed to automate the packing of polycrystalline silicon nuggets into fragile fused silica crucible in Czochralski (melt pulling) semiconductor wafer production. The highly irregular shapes of the nugg...

While attempting to develop low salt, low fat and high fibre chicken nuggets, the effect of partial (40%) common salt substitution and incorporation of chickpea hull flour (CHF) at three different levels viz., 5, 7.5 and 10% (Treatments) in pre-standardized low fat chicken nuggets (Control) were observed. Common salt replacement with salt substitute blend led to a significant decrease in pH, em...

A search for stable strange quark nuggets has been conducted in helium and argon using a high sensitivity mass spectrometer. The search was guided by a mass formula for strange quark nuggets which suggested that stable strange helium might exist at a mass around 65 u. The chemical similarity of such “strangelets” to noble gas atoms and the gravitational unboundedness of normal helium result in ...

Data Mining is an idea based on a simple analogy. The growth of data warehousing has created mountains of data. The mountains represent a valuable resource to the enterprise. But to extract value from these data mountains, we must "mine" for high-grade "nuggets" of precious metal -the gold in data warehouses and data marts. The analogy to mining has proven seductive for business. Everywhere the...
