Matt Spiegel for their comments and suggestions. Abstract This paper develops a model of optimal capital structure with stochastic interest rate which is assumed to follow a mean-reverting process. Closed-form solutions are obtained for both the value of the firm and the value of its risky debt. The paper finds that the current level and the long-run mean of the interest rate process play disti...

Text mining was used to extract technical intelligence from the open source global nanotechnology and nanoscience research literature. An extensive nanotechnology/nanosciencefocused query was applied to the Science Citation Index/Social Science Citation Index (SCI/SSCI) databases. The nanotechnology/nanoscience research literature technical structure (taxonomy) was obtained using computational ...

Evaluating changes in documentation of technical products is a key issue in knowledge management. A product may be declined in different versions and one way to evaluate changes is to compare the sets of documents which describe each version. The aim of this paper is to propose a framework for exhibiting changes between sets of documents. This framework is based on the representation of the set...

Information retrieval is the process of evaluating a user's query, or information need, against a set of documents (books, journal articles, web pages, etc.) to determine which of the documents satisses the query. With the advent of the World Wide Web, there is suddenly a need to query enormous sets of documents both eeciently and accurately. In the vector space model of information retrieval, ...

Cross-language information retrieval (CLIR), where queries and documents are in di erent languages, needs a translation of queries and/or documents, so as to standardize both of them into a common representation. For this purpose, the use of machine translation is an e ective approach. However, computational cost is prohibitive in translating large-scale document collections. To resolve this pr...

The present article shows that the normalization of documents in limited domains, such as drug leaflets, can be improved over what can be done with current technologies and without putting more constraints on the technical writer’s work. We propose a novel approach to document normalization that uses well-formed content representations expressed at the level of communicative goals and associate...
