Automating The Extraction Of Domain-Specific Information From The Web-A Case Study For The Genealogical Domain, Troy L. Walker Nov 2004

Automating The Extraction Of Domain-Specific Information From The Web-A Case Study For The Genealogical Domain, Troy L. Walker

Theses and Dissertations

Current ways of finding genealogical information within the millions of pages on the Web are inadequate. In an effort to help genealogical researchers find desired information more quickly, we have developed GeneTIQS, a Genealogy Target-based Information Query System. GeneTIQS builds on ontology-based methods of data extraction to allow database-style queries on the Web. This thesis makes two main contributions to GeneTIQS. (1) It builds a framework to do generic ontology-based data extraction. (2) It develops a hybrid record separator based on Vector Space Modeling that uses both formatting clues and data clues to split pages into component records. The record …

Measurements Of Transverse Energy Distributions In Au+Au Collisions At √SNn=200 Gev, Star Collaboration, T.D. Gutierrez Nov 2004

Measurements Of Transverse Energy Distributions In Au+Au Collisions At √SNn=200 Gev, Star Collaboration, T.D. Gutierrez

Physics

Transverse energy (ET) distributions have been measured for Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200GeV by the STAR Collaboration at RHIC. ET is constructed from its hadronic and electromagnetic components, which have been measured separately. ET production for the most central collisions is well described by several theoretical models whose common feature is large energy density achieved early in the fireball evolution. The magnitude and centrality dependence of ET per charged particle agrees well with measurements at lower collision energy, indicating that the growth in ET for larger collision energy results from the growth in …


Target-Dominant Chinese-English Machine Translation, Dan Su Nov 2004

Target-Dominant Chinese-English Machine Translation, Dan Su

Theses and Dissertations

Information exchange is increasing rapidly with the advent of globalization. As the language spoken by the most people in today's world, Chinese will play an important role in information exchange in the future. Therefore, we need an efficient and practical means to access the increasingly large volume of Chinese data. This thesis describes a target-dominant Chinese-English machine translation system, which can translate a given Chinese news sentence into English. We conjecture that we can improve the state of the art of MT using a TDMT approach. This system has participated in the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) 2004 …


The Effectiveness Of Computer-Based Tutorials In Learning Computer-Aided Design Methods For Tool Design Procedures, Andrew Moroni Hall Nov 2004

The Effectiveness Of Computer-Based Tutorials In Learning Computer-Aided Design Methods For Tool Design Procedures, Andrew Moroni Hall

Theses and Dissertations

Throughout the past twenty-five years the process of designing and manufacturing a product has been revolutionized by the integration of Computer Aided Design (CAD). Although three-dimensional solid modeling, or 3-D CAD offers a better representation of the product in a virtual environment, it can be complicated and difficult to learn. Tutorials have been developed to assist manufacturing tool design student in the learning of 3-D CAD principles as they apply to tool design. This study seeks to test the effectiveness of those tutorials. A BYU tool design class was divided into two groups according to their assigned laboratory time. The …

Simulation Of Ultrashort Electron Pulse Generation From Optical Injection Into Wake-Field Plasma Waves, D.S. Dodd, J.K. Kim, Donald P. Umstadter Nov 2004

Simulation Of Ultrashort Electron Pulse Generation From Optical Injection Into Wake-Field Plasma Waves, D.S. Dodd, J.K. Kim, Donald P. Umstadter

Donald Umstadter Publications

A laser-plasma-based source of relativistic electrons is described in detail, and analyzed in two dimensions using theoretical and numeric techniques. Two laser beams are focused in a plasma, one exciting a wake-field electron plasma wave while another locally alters some electron trajectories in such a way that they can be trapped and accelerated by the wave. Previous analyses dealt only with one-dimensional models. In this paper two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations and analysis of single particle trajectories show that the radial wake field plays an important role. The simulation results are interpreted to evaluate the accelerated electron beam's properties and compared with …


Broken-Symmetry Unrestricted Hybrid Density Functional Calculations On Nickel Dimer And Nickel Hydride, Cristian V. Diaconu, Art E. Cho, J. D. Doll, David L. Freeman Nov 2004

Broken-Symmetry Unrestricted Hybrid Density Functional Calculations On Nickel Dimer And Nickel Hydride, Cristian V. Diaconu, Art E. Cho, J. D. Doll, David L. Freeman

Chemistry Faculty Publications

In the present work we investigate the adequacy of broken-symmetry unrestricted density functional theory for constructing the potential energy curve of nickel dimer and nickel hydride, as a model for larger bare and hydrogenated nickel cluster calculations. We use three hybrid functionals: the popular B3LYP, Becke’s newest optimized functional Becke98, and the simple FSLYP functional (50% Hartree – Fock and 50% Slater exchange and LYP gradient-corrected correlation functional) with two basis sets: all-electron (AE) Wachters+ f basis set and Stuttgart RSC effective core potential (ECP) and basis set. We find that, overall, the best agreement with experiment, comparable to that …

Local Optical Properties, Electron Densities, And London Dispersion Energies Of Atomically Structured Grain Boundaries, Roger H. French Nov 2004

Local Optical Properties, Electron Densities, And London Dispersion Energies Of Atomically Structured Grain Boundaries, Roger H. French

Faculty Scholarship

Quantitative analysis of spatially resolved valence electron energy-loss spectra shows strong physical property contrasts for Σ5 and near Σ13 grain boundaries in Fe-doped SrTiO3, resulting in London dispersion interaction energies of 14 to 50mJ/m2 between the adjacent grains. The determination of local physical properties of grain boundary cores and the appreciable contribution of long-range London dispersion to interface energies provides new information on formation and control of interfaces in materials.

Whistle Blowing, Ben Depoorter, Jef De Mot Nov 2004

Whistle Blowing, Ben Depoorter, Jef De Mot

George Mason University School of Law Working Papers Series

For law enforcement purposes corruption and fraud are hard battles. Because of the highly secretive and premeditated nature of these crimes, prime witnesses are themselves often implicated in the fraudulent transaction. Promises of immunity and whistle blowing rewards are often required to resolve these information asymmetries. These insights have set a trend, both in scholarship and law enforcement practice, towards reward-based approaches (carrots), as an alternative or complement to punishment based deterrence (sticks). Applying the U.S. False Claims Act (FCA) as an analytical framework, we provide a critical review of the efficiency limitations of whistle blowing. More specifically, the formal …

Translated Opinions

Facts: Shortly before the election for Prime Minister in 2001, the Knesset passed a law that gave certain persons an entitlement to grants for the purchase or extension of an apartment in Jerusalem. After the election, some six weeks later, the Knesset suspended the grants, and went so far as to include a provision to the effect that the suspension of the grants was retroactive, from the date on which the grants originally came into effect. The petitioners challenged this retroactive suspension of the grants, on the grounds that they had relied on the grants and undertaken to buy or …

Control Of Mitochondrial Motility And Distribution By The Calcium Signal: A Homeostatic Circuit., Muqing Yi, David Weaver, György Hajnóczky Nov 2004

Control Of Mitochondrial Motility And Distribution By The Calcium Signal: A Homeostatic Circuit., Muqing Yi, David Weaver, György Hajnóczky

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles in cells. The control of mitochondrial motility by signaling mechanisms and the significance of rapid changes in motility remains elusive. In cardiac myoblasts, mitochondria were observed close to the microtubular array and displayed both short- and long-range movements along microtubules. By clamping cytoplasmic [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]c) at various levels, mitochondrial motility was found to be regulated by Ca2+ in the physiological range. Maximal movement was obtained at resting [Ca2+]c with complete arrest at 1-2 microM. Movement was fully recovered by returning to resting [Ca2+]c, and inhibition could be repeated with no apparent desensitization. The inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate- or …
