    Internet information is growing every day exponentially. In order to find out the exact required information from this web search engines has become absolutely necessary tool for the web users. It has also become more difficult to provide user the required information. When Different users provide an ambiguous query to a search engine, they might be having different search goals. Therefore, it is required to find and analyze user search goals to improve the performance of a search engine and user experience. By representing the results in cluster we find out different user search goals for a query. It has advantages in improving search engine relevance and user experience. It extends the delivery and quality of internet information services to the end user. It also improves performance of Web server system. Query classification, search result reorganization and session boundary detection are the approaches attempt to find out user search goals. But the mentioned approaches has many limitations. A new approach has been implemented that overcomes the limitations and analyze, discover user search goals using feedback sessions. This approach first takes the user search query. For each single result of the search query pseudo-documents are generated. Using K-means++ clustering algorithm, these pseudo-documents are clustered. Each cluster can be considered as one user search goal. Finally in restructured result is given to the user where each URL is categorized into a cluster centered by the inferred search goals. Then depending upon user click through, results are restructured and represented to the user in order to satisfy the information need. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.15071

    Survey on the Use of Feedback Sessions for Inferring User Search Goals

    Largest source of web traffic are search engines. Search engines are being used by different kind of users for different purpose. When users are searching something they have a different search goal in mind. Thus the queries are mostly ambiguous one. In order to improve search engine relevance and thus user experience inference and analysis of user search is required. To get the best results it is needful to capture different user search goals. This paper first talks about the different ways of inferring user search goals. Then insights of new approach has been discussed. A new algorithm firstly specifies a framework to analyze user search goals by clustering feedback sessions. There should be a proper way to represent these feedback sessions. In the second step of this algorithm pseudo-documents are prepared to represent feedback sessions. With this original results are restructured. This in turn is used to select optimal user search goals

    Soft gluon radiation and energy dependence of total hadronic cross-sections

    Get PDF
    An impact parameter representation for soft gluon radiation is applied to obtain both the initial decrease of the total cross-section (σtot\sigma_{tot}) for proton-proton collisions as well as the later rise of σtot\sigma_{tot} with energy for both pppp and ppˉp\bar{p}. The non-perturbative soft part of the eikonal includes only limited low energy gluon emission and leads to the initial decrease in the proton-proton cross- section. On the other hand, the rapid rise in the hard, perturbative jet part of the eikonal is tamed into the experimentally observed mild increase by soft gluon radiation whose maximum energy rises slowly with energy.Comment: 30 pages, 6 figures.

    Subtle Radiological Features of Splenic Avulsion following Abdominal Trauma

    Get PDF
    Splenic trauma in children following blunt abdominal injury is usually treated by nonoperative management (NOM). Splenectomy following abdominal trauma is rare in children. NOM is successful as in the majority of instances the injury to the spleen is contained within its capsule or a localised haematoma. Rarely, the spleen may suffer from an avulsion injury that causes severe uncontrollable bleeding and necessitates an emergency laparotomy and splenectomy. We report two cases of children requiring splenectomy following severe blunt abdominal injury. In both instances emergency laparotomy was undertaken for uncontrollable bleeding despite resuscitation. The operating team was unaware of the precise source of bleeding preoperatively. Retrospective review of the computed tomography (CT) scans revealed subtle radiological features that indicate splenic avulsion. We wish to highlight these radiological features of splenic avulsion as they can help to focus management decisions regarding the need/timing for a laparotomy following blunt abdominal trauma in children

    Intense blue-emitting Ca5Al8O14 : Eu phosphor for mercury free lamp

    Get PDF
    The calcium aluminates doped with Eu ions, Ca5Al8O14 : Eu, phosphors are prepared by the combustion method. The formation of crystalline aluminates was confirmed by X-ray diffraction pattern. The prepared phosphors were characterized by SEM, TGA, DTA, particle size analyzer and Photoluminescence (PL) techniques. From the UV-excited luminescence spectra it was found that the Eu ions acts as a luminescent centre with luminescence at the blue (λmax = 470 nm) region due to 4f 65d1 → 4f 7 transition. The excitation spectra show the broad band at 355 nm wavelength (λem = 470 nm). The excitation 355 nm is a mercury free excitation and therefore Ca5Al8O14 : Eu may be useful for the solid state lighting phosphor in lamp industry.Intense blue-emitting Ca5Al8O14 : Eu phosphor for mercury free lamp Abhay D Deshmukh1*, S J Dhoble1, S V Godbole2, M K Bhide2 and D R Peshwe3 1Kamla Nehru College, Sakkardara Square, Nagpur-440 009, Maharashtra, India 2Spectroscopy Section, Radiochemistry Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai-400 085, India 3Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, VNIT, Nagpur-440 011, Maharashtra, India E-mail : [email protected] Nehru College, Sakkardara Square, Nagpur-440 009, Maharashtra, India 2Spectroscopy Section, Radiochemistry Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai-400 085, India 3Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, VNIT, Nagpur-440 011, Maharashtra, Indi

    Hadronic Cross-sections in two photon Processes at a Future Linear Collider

    Full text link
    In this note we address the issue of measurability of the hadronic cross-sections at a future photon collider as well as for the two-photon processes at a future high energy linear e+ee^+e^- collider. We extend, to higher energy, our previous estimates of the accuracy with which the \gamgam\ cross-section needs to be measured, in order to distinguish between different theoretical models of energy dependence of the total cross-sections. We show that the necessary precision to discriminate among these models is indeed possible at future linear colliders in the Photon Collider option. Further we note that even in the e+ee^+e^- option a measurement of the hadron production cross-section via \gamgam processes, with an accuracy necessary to allow discrimination between different theoretical models, should be possible. We also comment briefly on the implications of these predictions for hadronic backgrounds at the future TeV energy e+ee^+e^- collider CLIC.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures, LaTeX.

    High Precision J/ψJ/\psi and Υ\Upsilon-production data and the Nuclear Glue

    Get PDF
    We use the high statistics E-772 data on the nuclear dependence of the production of quarkonia (J/ψ(J/\psi and Υ)\Upsilon) and dimuons at large transverse momentum (pT)(p_T) in pp-AA collisions to get information about the gluonic EMC effect. We find a satisfactory quantitative agreement of the theoretical predictions with the data although none of the models of the EMC effect we consider could account for the entire data. Since all the qualitative features are understood none the less in terms of perturbative QCD with nuclear dependent parton densities, our results suggest that these data can now be used for a better determination of the nuclear parton densities. Our conslusions are shown to be insensitive to the hadronisation mechanism for the quarkonia.Comment: 28 pages, 8 Figures (included as uuencoded figs.uu file at the end), RevTeX, TIFR/TH/93-57, BU-TH-93/
