Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancement of Search Results Using Dynamic Document Seed Reranking AlgorithmAngelina Geetha, A. KannanWe proposed an algorithm to improve the precision of top retrieved documents by re-ordering the retrieved documents in the initial retrieval. To re-order the documents, we first automatically extract key terms and key phrases from top N retrieved documents and generate a document index for each document. Using the standard similarity metrics, a document similarity matrix is generated for these … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,745 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Polyethylene in Hot Asphalt MixturesMohammad T. Awwad, Lina ShbeebThe increase in road traffic during the last two decades in combination with an insufficient degree of maintenance due to shortage in funds has caused an accelerated and continuous deterioration of the road network in Jordan. To alleviate this process, several types of measures may be effective, e.g., securing funds for maintenance, improved roadway design, use of better quality of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 14,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuery Pattern-based Relational Data to XML Data Translation AlgorithmJinhyung Kim, Dongwon Jeong, Doo-Kwon BaikThis paper proposes a new query pattern-based relational schema-to-XML schema translation (QP-T) algorithm to resolve implicit referential integrity issue. Various translation methods have been introduced on structural aspects and/or semantic aspects. However, most of conventional methods consider only explicit referential integrities specified by relational schema. It causes several problems such as incorrect transformation, abnormal relational model transition and so on. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,188 accessesView PDFCite
