the central cholinergic system has been associated with cognitive function and memory and acetylcholine plays an important role during the early stages of memory consolidation. in this study, after training mice were tested with one way active avoidance procedure and retention were tested at 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 hours of training and compared with non-shocked mice, in which it took 24 hours, a s...

In this paper we present a prototype system to enrich audiovisual contents with annotations, which exploits existing technologies for automatic extraction of metadata (such as OCR, speech recognition, cut detection, visual descriptors, etc.). The prototype relies on a metadata model that unifies MPEG-7 and LOM descriptions to edit and enrich audiovisual contents, and it is based on MILOS, a gen...

content-based image retrieval and text-based image retrieval are two fundamental approaches in the field of image retrieval. the challenges related to each of these approaches, guide the researchers to use combining approaches and semi-automatic retrieval using the user interaction in the retrieval cycle. hence, in this paper, an image retrieval system is introduced that provided two kind of qu...

The classi®cation of documents from a bibliographic database is a task that is linked to processes of information retrieval based on partial matching. A method is described of vectorizing reference documents from LISA which permits their topological organization using Kohonen's algorithm. As an example a map is generated of 202 documents from LISA, and an analysis is made of the possibilities o...

The project CARMEN (“Content Analysis, Retrieval and Metadata: Effective Networking”) aimed – among other goals – at improving the expansion of searches in bibliographic databases into Internet searches. We pursued a set of different approaches to the treatment of semantic heterogeneity (meta-data extraction, query translation using statistic relations and cross-concordances). This paper descri...

purpose: libraries and information centers as information storage and retrieval systems can develop with the adoption of cybernetics rules. this paper discusses system dynamics, control, feedback, and other cybernetic concepts especially in information storage and retrieval systems. methodology: this study is a review intending to find what cybernetics and lis have in common especially in the f...

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...
