9 Freire, JulianaDesigning information-preserving mapping schemes for XMLAn XML-to-relational mapping scheme consists of a procedure for shredding XML documents into relational databases, a procedure for publishing databases back as documents, and a set of constraints the databases must satisfy. In previous work, we discussed two notions of information preservation for m...Losslessness; Validation; Mapping scheme; Edge++; LILO; Lossless Inlining; Lossless Outlining; XML Schema2005
10 Miller, Jan D.Dimethyl ether - a new synthetic fuel commodity and chemical building blockDimethyl ether (DME) is recognized as a potential next-generation, environmentally benign commodity for energy storage and distribution, as well as a momentous chemical building block. DME can be produced at a competitive price from synthesis gas conveniently generated from a variety of carbon-cont...Dimethyl ether; DME; energy carrier; energy commodity; iesel fueld2005
11 Scarpulla, MichaelEffect of film thickness on the incorporation of Mn interstitials in Ga1-xMnxAsWe have investigated the effect of film thickness on the distribution of Mn atoms at various lattice sites in Ga1−xMnxAs thin films. We find that the growth surface acts as a sink facilitating the outdiffusion of Mn interstitials sMnId, and thus reducing its concentration in the film. The outdiffu...Interstitials; Gallium arsenide2005
12 Furse, Cynthia M.Electromagnetics education in North AmericaThis paper starts with a description of the activities of the education committees of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation, Microwave Theory and Techniques, and Electromagnetic Compatibility societies and the United States National Committee of the International Union of Radio Science (USNC/URSI).We t...2005
13 Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T.; Marc, Robert E.; Jones, Bryan W.Enhancement of cell boundaries in transmission electon microscopy imagesTransmission electron microscopy (TEM) is an important modality for the analysis of cellular structures in neurobiology. The computational analysis of neurons entail their segmentation and reconstruction from TEM images. This problem is complicated by the heavily textured nature of cellular TEM ima...2005

17 Riloff, Ellen M.Exploiting subjectivity classification to improve information extractionInformation extraction (IE) systems are prone to false hits for a variety of reasons and we observed that many of these false hits occur in sentences that contain subjective language (e.g., opinions, emotions, and sentiments). Motivated by these observations, we explore the idea of using subjecti...Subjectivity classification; Information extraction; Subjectivity analysis; MUC-42005
