    Development of Hypervideo Platform Using Object Databases

    No full text
    Web users are seizing on interactive capabilities that software suppliers have developed so far, and are eagerly awaiting new interactive capabilities now being demonstrated. This paper focuses the development of rich information environment based on a customized platform enabling hyperlinks on objects within a digital video. With the help of such environment, the viewer is able to view multiple videos concurrently and browse them temporally as well as spatially with the help of an object database. Specifically, the platform enables to traverse through that object by linking, and such links have been explored and created. The link may connect to within a video, or multiple running videos and/or World Wide Web object. The issues such as open hypermedia link base (static, generic or dynamic) and object database versus multiple videos are also investigated

    Are Two Interviews Better Than One? Memory across Repeated Cognitive Interviews.

    No full text
    Eyewitnesses to a filmed event were interviewed twice using a Cognitive Interview to examine the effects of variations in delay between the repeated interviews (immediately & 2 days; immediately & 7 days; 7 & 9 days) and the identity of the interviewers (same or different across the two repeated interviews). Hypermnesia (an increase in total amount of information recalled in the repeated interview) occurred without any decrease in the overall accuracy. Reminiscence (the recall of new information in the repeated interview) was also found in all conditions but was least apparent in the longest delay condition, and came with little cost to the overall accuracy of information gathered. The number of errors, increased across the interviews, but the relative accuracy of participants' responses was unaffected. However, when accuracy was calculated based on all unique details provided across both interviews and compared to the accuracy of recall in just the first interview it was found to be slightly lower. The identity of the interviewer (whether the same or different across interviews) had no effects on the number of correct details. There was an increase in recall of new details with little cost to the overall accuracy of information gathered. Importantly, these results suggest that witnesses are unlikely to report everything they remember during a single Cognitive Interview, however exhaustive, and a second opportunity to recall information about the events in question may provide investigators with additional information

    Defective Bismuth Oxide as Effective Adsorbent for Arsenic Removal from Water and Wastewater

    No full text
    In this work, we report solid-state synthetized defective Bi2O3 containing Bi(V) sites as effective and recyclable arsenic adsorbent materials. Bi2O3 was extensively characterized, and structure-related adsorption processes are reported. Both As(V) and As(III) species-adsorption processes were investigated in a wide range of concentrations, pH values, and times. The effect of several competing ions was also tested together with the adsorbent recyclability

    Statistical Model for Content Extraction

    No full text
    We present a statistical model for content extraction from HTML documents. The model operates on Document Object Model (DOM) tree of the corresponding HTML document. It evaluates each tree node and associated statistical features to predict significance of the node towards overall content of the document. The model exploits feature set including link densities and text distribution across the nodes of DOM tree. We describe the validity of model with the help of experiments conducted on the standard data sets. The results revealed that the proposed model outperformed other state of art models. We also describe the significance of the model in the domain of counterterrorism and open source intelligence

    No full text
    The history of fiction translation in Urdu Language is not veryold and one of the able translator we see in this history isMUHAMMAD UMAR MEMON. The element of creativity canbe seen prominently in its translations. He adapted the works ofArabic, French, English, Czech writers into Urdu style such away that due to the rare use of similes, the meaning was freedfrom the confines of the text even for the Urdu Readers. Themain merit of MemonLs translations is that while having acreative element, do not depart form the source text so that thestory reach the target in that style the author intended. Thepleasant style in which the complicated plot story is welladopted to the target language is a proof of its trustworthiness
