    KnowVID-19: A Knowledge-Based System to Extract Targeted COVID-19 Information from Online Medical Repositories

    No full text
    We present KnowVID-19, a knowledge-based system that assists medical researchers and scientists in extracting targeted information quickly and efficiently from online medical literature repositories, such as PubMed, PubMed Central, and other biomedical sources. The system utilizes various open-source machine learning tools, such as GROBID, S2ORC, and BioC to streamline the processes of data extraction and data mining. Central to the functionality of KnowVID-19 is its keyword-based text classification process, which plays a pivotal role in organizing and categorizing the extracted information. By employing machine learning techniques for keyword extraction—specifically RAKE, YAKE, and KeyBERT—KnowVID-19 systematically categorizes publication data into distinct topics and subtopics. This topic structuring enhances the system’s ability to match user queries with relevant research, improving both the accuracy and efficiency of the search results. In addition, KnowVID-19 leverages the NetworkX Python library to construct networks of the most relevant terms within publications. These networks are then visualized using Cytoscape software, providing a graphical representation of the relationships between key terms. This network visualization allows researchers to easily track emerging trends and developments related to COVID-19, long COVID, and associated topics, facilitating more informed and user-centered exploration of the scientific literature. KnowVID-19 also provides an interactive web application with an intuitive, user-centered interface. This platform supports seamless keyword searching and filtering, as well as a visual network of term associations to help users quickly identify emerging research trends. The responsive design and network visualization enables efficient navigation and access to targeted COVID-19 literature, enhancing both the user experience and the accuracy of data-driven insights

    Foundation of Physics for Scientists and Engineers: Volume I: Mechanics, Heat and Sound - eBooks and textbooks from bookboon.com

    No full text
    The genesis behind writing a textbook in calculus-based physics stemmed from the fact that most existing textbooks are too detailed and voluminous. In writing this book, the author has minimized inconsequential details and only concentrated on physics concepts. The balance among different components of the book was also paramount. The author has avoided citing too many unwarranted examples and homework problems which create a fatigue environment for the student. This book provides an excellent foundation in physics for the students majoring in science and engineering

Blaufuss, F. Halzen, C. Kopper (Changed to add one missing author, no other changes from initial version.)The recent observation by the IceCube neutrino observatory of an astrophysical flux of neutrinos represents the "first light" in the nascent field of neutrino astronomy. The observed diffuse neutrino flux seems to suggest a much larger level of hadronic activity in the non-thermal universe than previously thought and suggests a rich discovery potential for a larger neutrino observatory. This document presents a vision for an substantial expansion of the current IceCube detector, IceCube-Gen2, including the aim of instrumenting a 10km310\,\mathrm{km}^3 volume of clear glacial ice at the South Pole to deliver substantial increases in the astrophysical neutrino sample for all flavors. A detector of this size would have a rich physics program with the goal to resolve the sources of these astrophysical neutrinos, discover GZK neutrinos, and be a leading observatory in future multi-messenger astronomy programs

    Detection of High Energy Cosmic Ray with the Advanced Thin Ionization Calorimeter (ATIC)

    No full text
    ATIC is a balloon-borne investigation of cosmic ray spectra, from below 50 GeV to near 100 TeV total energy, using a fully active Bismuth Gemmate (BGO) calorimeter. It is equipped with the first large area mosaic of small fully depleted silicon detector pixels capable of charge identification in cosmic rays from H to Fe. As a redundancy check for the charge identification and a coarse particle tracking system, three projective layers of x-y scintillator hodoscopes were employed, above, in the center and below a Carbon interaction 'target'. Very high energy gamma-rays and their energy spectrum may provide insight to the flux of extremely high energy neutrinos which will be investigated in detail with several proposed cubic kilometer scale neutrino observatories in the next decade

    IceCube: A multipurpose neutrino telescope

    No full text
    IceCube is a new high-energy neutrino telescope which will be coming online in the near future. IceCube will be capable of measuring fluxes of all three flavors of neutrino, and its peak neutrino energy sensitivity will be in the TeV-PeV range. Here, after a brief description of the detector, we describe its anticipated performance with a selection of physics topics: supernovae, extraterrestrial diffuse and point sources of neutrinos, gamma-ray bursts, neutrinos from WIMP annihilation, and cosmic ray composition. © 2008 The Physical Society of Japan
