Information retrieval can be achieved through computerized processes by generating a list of relevant responses to a query. The document processor, matching function and query analyzer are the main components of an information retrieval system. Document retrieval system is fundamentally based on: Boolean, vector-space, probabilistic, and language models. In this paper, a new methodology for mat...

Considering the paradigmatic case of a cloud two-level atoms interacting through common vacuum modes, we show how cooperative spontaneous emission, which is at origin superradiance, leads system to long-lived entangled states late times. These subradiant modes are characterized by an entanglement between all particles, independently their geometrical configuration. While there no threshold on i...

Crossover operator plays a crucial role in the efficiency of genetic algorithm (GA). Several crossover operators have been proposed for solving the travelling salesman problem (TSP) in the literature. These operators have paid less attention to the characteristics of the traveling salesman problem, and majority of these operators can only generate feasible solutions. In this paper, a crossover ...

In ontology-based data access, data are queried through an ontology that offers a representation of the domain of interest. In this context, correct answers are those entailed by the logical theory constituted by the data and the ontology. Traditional database constraints like tuple-generating dependencies (TGDs) and equality-generating dependencies (EGDs) are a useful tool for ontology specifi...

Schema mappings have been extensively studied in database research over the past decade – notably in the areas of data exchange and data integration. Recently, the notion of an information transfer order on schema mappings has been introduced to compare the amount of source information that is actually transferred by two mappings. In this paper, we present two new operators: the union and inter...

Recently, it has been observed that a new method for generating continuous distributions, T - X family, can be quite effectively used to analyze the data in one dimension. The aim of this study is to generalize this method to two dimensional space so that the marginals would have T - X distributions. So, several examples and properties of this family have been presented. As ...

New techniques, both theoretical and practical, are presented for constructing permutation representations for computing with matrix groups defined over finite fields. The permutation representation is constructed on a conjugacy class of subgroups of prime order. We construct a base for the permutation representation, which in turn simplifies the computation of a strong generating set. In addit...
