This paper presents the architecture of the Question-Answering server (QAS) developed at the Language Computer Corporation (LCC) and used in the TREC-10 evaluations.

This document discusses phase 1 of interoperability testing as part of the Z-Interop project.

Article on structural and electronic properties of carbon nanotube tapers, a set of nanostructures comprised of straight tubular sections with decreasing diameters, joined to each other via conical funnels and terminated with a hemispherical cap.

In this document, the authors present some aspects of data normalization of the decomposed records to improve the results of analysis. The data normalization processes use pattern-matching techniques to eliminate and/or generalize anomalous characters and terms. Since the unit of analysis in preparing the test dataset of 400,000 MARC 21 records is a "word," there was a need for data normalization to provide reliability in the subsequent analysis.

Patent relating to film for use in microelectronic devices and methods of producing same.

This document describes the data analysis procedures developed to create the Aggregate and Candidate Record Groups using SQL statements. This is the preliminary version of these procedures tested and validated on a sample of decomposed MARC records. (For a description of how the MARC records were decomposed see the Z-Interop document, Decomposing MARC 21 Records for Analysis. A subsequent version may be necessary as the authors move to the procedures for the entire file of decomposed records.

This article uses Hubble Space Telescope UV and optical spectra of the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Ark 564 to investigate its internal reddening and properties of its emission-line and intrinsic UV absorption gas.

This paper explains how alternative music communicates a contemporary regional identity in Northeast Brazil, is affected by cultural politics, and circulates within the musical market, in order to show how the perceived demands of globalization, such as the need to consume the products of the global entertainment industry, intersect with the dynamics of a regional music community. It was presented at the 46th Annual Meeting of the Society for Ethnomusicology held in Detroit, Michigan on October 25-28, 2001.

Article on rate coefficients and mechanistic analysis for reaction of OH with vinyl chloride between 293 and 730 K.

Article recounting the history of the element Bromine, including its discovery in the salt lagoons of the Montpellier region of France by Antoine-Jérome Balard. Maps of the region and of Balard's birthplace are presented.

In this article, the authors compare the effects of O2, Ar, and H2 gases on the field-emission (FE) properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs).

This article discusses stepwise reduction of dinitrogen bond order by a low-coordinate iron complex.

This article reports the results of observations of V4633 Sgr (Nova Sagittarii 1998) during 1998-2000.

This article discusses quantum entanglement and entropy.

Article on the partition of solutes from the gas phase and from water to wet and dry di-n-butyl ether and a linear free energy relationship analysis.

Article on the solubility of pyrene in ternary alcohol + cyclohexane + heptane solvent mixtures at 299.15 K.

This report describes a study to identify the distribution and extent of areas potentially at risk for atrazine (a broad leaf weedkiller) runoff in the Lake Lavon watershed, which is a major water supply for the Dallas area. The report presents the results of the study and makes recommendations for how information can be used in a cost-effective watershed atrazine reduction strategy.
