Web Information Discovery Tool (WIDIT) Laboratory at the Indiana University School of Library, whose basic approach to combine multiple methods as well as to leverage multiple sources of evidence, participated in 2005 Text Retrieval Conference’s Hard track (HARD-2005) to investigate methods of effectively dealing with HARD topics by exploring a...
In TREC-2007, Indiana University‟s WIDIT Lab1 participated in the Blog track‟s opinion task and the polarity subtask. For the opinion task, whose goal is to "uncover the public sentiment towards a given entity/target", we focused on combining multiple sources of evidence to detect opinionated blog postings. Since detecting opinionated blogs...
Web Information Discovery Integrated Tool (WIDIT) Laboratory at the Indiana University School of Library and Information Science participated in the Blog track’s opinion task in TREC- 2006. The goal of opinion task is to "uncover the public sentiment towards a given entity/target", which involves not only retrieving topically relevant blogs...
Web Information Discovery Tool (WIDIT) Laboratory at the Indiana University School of Library and Information Science participated in the HARD, Robust, and SPAM tracks in TREC- 2005. The basic approach of WIDIT is to combine multiple methods as well as to leverage multiple sources of evidence. Our main strategies for...
Capture fisheries and aquaculture in freshwater bodies play a very important role and is considered to have great potential for augmenting fish production as well as diversification of livelihoods in both Cambodia and Vietnam. In Cambodia, inland fisheries remain primary importance in the fisheries sector, while aquaculture is more important...
While high-performance computing is a fundamental component of CyberGIS, equally important is establishing a fundamental connection between CyberGIS and the various user communities requiring it. This involves the sharing, communication, and collaboration of authoritative, relevant spatial science not only among GIS specialists within their respective organizations, but across relat-ed scientific...
Satellite‐derived sea surface salinity (SSS) data from Aquarius and SMOS are used to study the shelf‐open ocean exchanges in the western South Atlantic near 35°S. Away from the tropics, these exchanges cause the largest SSS variability throughout the South Atlantic. The data reveal a well‐defined seasonal pattern of SSS during...
A coupled biophysical model is used to examine the impact of the great Arctic cyclone
of early August 2012 on the marine planktonic ecosystem in the Pacific sector of the Arctic
Ocean (PSA). Model results indicate that the cyclone influences the marine planktonic
ecosystem by enhancing productivity on the shelves...
Previous research has associated insecure adult attachment with lower levels of pain self-efficacy within a laboratory setting. However, the external validity of these results remains unclear. This study focused on the applicability of this theory outside of a laboratory setting, specifically within the lens of exercise habits. If insecure adult...
Global sustainability goals have led to the development of the green building movement. The Green
Building Program, stemming from the movement, has had unprecedented success as it provides a quantifi able
metric to people’s efforts towards sustainable development. Sustainable development and green buildings are often
used interchangeably. Although, sustainable development...
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy that began in 2008 requires that final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts sponsored by the agency are freely available in PubMed Central. NIH requires that researchers who apply for grants must include a PMC reference number (PMCID) when citing their papers that were...
Current software development practices leave a plethora of activities that are archived in version control systems, issue trackers, mailing lists, or Question and Answer (Q&A) forums. Software managers are increasingly using these online activities to better evaluate job candidates. We introduce our tool, Visual Resume, that displays visual overviews of...
The Gulf Stream is a major conduit of warm surface water from the tropics to the subpolar North Atlantic. Here we observe and simulate a submesoscale (<20 km) mechanism by which the Gulf Stream exchanges water with subpolar water to the north. Along isopycnals, the front has a sharp compensated...
Coral reefs are in decline worldwide, and land-derived sources of pollution, including sewage, are a major force driving that deterioration. This review presents evidence that sewage discharge occurs in waters surrounding at least 104 of 112 reef geographies. Studies often refer to sewage as a single stressor. However, we show...
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PROJECT CONTEXT ESCO Incorporated manufactures a variety of steel parts using a sand mold casting process. In this process a clamping device is used to prevent the sand mold from leaking during the pouring process. The current clamp design has several deficiencies including an uneven distribution of the...
Three-dimensional symmetric tensor fields have a wide range of applications in solid and fluid mechanics. Recent advances in the topological analysis of 3D symmetric tensor fields focus on the local behaviors of tensor fields at degenerate points, which usually form curves. In this paper, we make a number of observations...
The down‐regulation of dominant oncogenes, including C‐MYC, in tumor cells often leads to the induction of
senescence via mechanisms that are not completely identified. In the current study, we demonstrate that MYC‐depleted
melanoma cells undergo extensive DNA damage that is caused by the underexpression of thymidylate synthase (TS) and
ribonucleotide...
Measurement of a quantum system - the process by which an observer gathers information about it - provides a link between the quantum and classical worlds. The nature of this process is the central issue for attempts to reconcile quantum and classical descriptions of physical processes. Here, we show that...
Exposing research data from traditional repository systems such as DSpace in Linked Data has numerous benefits such as increasing visibility, prompting open access, and interlinking datasets with elements such as authors. For a successful implementation, it is crucial to preserve object structure (e.g., hierarchical and related) in Linked Data in...
