This survey reviews a broad array of techniques that are becoming available to mine textual data. It presents initially a three function (data collection, data warehousing, data exploitation) text mining architecture consisting of a six step text mining process (source selection, text retrieval, information extraction, data storage, data mining, presentation). It then presents some of the most ...

⋆ Group: (G, γ) where G is a set and γ a binary operation γ : G×G → G. If γ is clear from the context the group is simply denoted by G. ◦ In place of γ(f, g) write fγg or simply fg when there is no ambiguity, as in most of what follows. ◦ Example: G = Z = {. . .− 2,−1, 0, 1, 2 . . .}, γ = +, γ(f, g) = f + g. • For G to be a group three conditions must be satisfied: (i) γ is associative: γ(f, γ(...

This paper is intended to serve as a model for the first few chapters of future textbooks on continuum mechanics and continuum thermomechanics. It may be considered an update of the paper Lectures on the Foundations of Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics [N2] by one of us (W.N.), published in 1973, and an elaboration of topics treated in Part 3, entitled Updating the Non-Linear Field Theorie...
