Changes in Macrocyclic Aromaticity and Formation of Charge-separated State by Complexation of Expanded Porphyrin and C60
Significant changes of macrocyclic aromaticity in expanded porphyrins through C60 complexation were studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy and nucleus-independent chemical shift calculations. This work is a detailed research study of how the formation of a complex of dual aromatic expanded porphyrin with fullerene affects the electron densities in the main conjugation pathways and meso-substituents. Furthermore, we found that the formation of the photoinduced charge-separated state and the triplet excited-state populations of the bowl-shaped and rigid expanded porphyrin can be controlled by a simple complexation with C60
Survey of Automatic Query Expansion for Arabic Text Retrieval
Information need has been one of the main motivations for a person using a search engine. Queries can represent very different information needs. Ironically, a query can be a poor representation of the information need because the user can find it difficult to express the information need. Query Expansion (QE) is being popularly used to address this limitation. While QE can be considered as a language-independent technique, recent findings have shown that in certain cases, language plays an important role. Arabic is a language with a particularly large vocabulary rich in words with synonymous shades of meaning and has high morphological complexity. This paper, therefore, provides a review on QE for Arabic information retrieval, the intention being to identify the recent state-of-the-art of this burgeoning area. In this review, we primarily discuss statistical QE approaches that include document analysis, search, browse log analyses, and web knowledge analyses, in addition to the semantic QE approaches, which use semantic knowledge structures to extract meaningful word relationships. Finally, our conclusion is that QE regarding the Arabic language is subjected to additional investigation and research due to the intricate nature of this language
