Resource Description and Access (RDA) is a new standard for describing all types of resources. Columbia University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign evaluated the guidelines by means of the Dublin Core element set during the U.S. National Libraries RDA Test, held from October to December 2010. This paper speaks to the issues which emerged during the t...

PURPOSE This retrospective study investigated if the initially assigned category 4A or 3 in concordant benign lesions, after ultrasound (US)-guided core needle biopsy, could affect follow-up compliance. METHODS Eight hundred thirty-eight concordant benign lesions, after core needle biopsy (674, initial category 4A group and 164, category 3 group) and follow-up US, were included in our study. ...


 In the petroleum industry, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technology has been developed to obtain increased oil recovery from reservoirs. One of EOR methods is chemical using a surfactant known as flooding method. Surfactants have ability reduce interfacial tension between and water in rock matrix so that residual can be produced. There are several parameters affect performance surfactants,...

When a software failure occurs in the field, it is often difficult to reproduce. Guided by a memory dump at the moment of failure (a “core dump”), our RECORE test case generator searches for a series of events that precisely reconstruct the failure from primitive data. Applied on seven non-trivial Java bugs, RECORE reconstructs the exact failure in five cases without any runtime overhead in pro...

As a participant in the D-Lib Test Suite project, the University of Illinois maintains a full-text XML testbed containing over 65,000 scientific and technical journal articles. For this project, we have developed techniques to generate and utilize Qualified Dublin Core (DCQ) metadata using RDF. In this short paper we will provide a brief overview of our digital collection, demonstrate DCQ metad...
